MOTHER THREW HIM OUT
and MARRIED HONEYMOON

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. LEO
Rice is going about his brokerage
busines, with downcast heart.
Rice's courtship OF Miss Frances
Huntley. daughter OF T. IA. Huntley,
Pacifc Mail auditor. was beset with
more than the usual difficulties. So
the couple decided to efope and then
beg forgiveness from the Huntley
family.
They drove to San Mateo and were
pronounced man and wife. Then they
came to the brides home and began
to tell all about II. But Mrs. Huptley
threw him bodily from the premises
and locked the door.

our patience for years. begins to
show signs OF Improvement. Not the
least of the things that have con-
tributed to II. is a realization by the
people OF that country that we have
neither the lust for their domain, nor
disposition to disturb their sovereign

seems to be making a national aspira-

NATION HAsGRATITUDE
Many elements have made our re-
public enduring, not the least Of which
is a sustained gratitude. The rich
est traditions OF our land are woven
from historic threads that tell the
bravery of our soldiers of every war.
They make the first impressions of
history upon the minds of our chill
dren and bind the hearts of genera
tions together. Never in all time will
the performance OF our soldiers in
the late war be surpassed. From
farm, forest and factory they gath
cred together in the training camps
from countryside and city-men
whose hands were calloused by labor,
others whose shoulders showed the
stoop of office task-the blood OF
many nations flowing in their veins
and the same impulse ran from the
front trench in Europe back to the
first day in training. We must not
forget that war breaks into the plans
OF young men, and their first chart of
life Is in sense more important
than any calculation later on. In col
lege and shop-in every calling, they
were building the base for their
careers. Thousands OF them by the
IL L..
turbance OF domestic conditions
which war always brings, were COM
PEELED to change their whole course
OF life. We owe a debt to those who
died, and to those the honored dead
left dependent. We owe debt to
the wounded; but we must realize
that considerable compensation is
due those also who lost much by the
break in their material hopes and
aspirations. The genius OF the ma
tion's mind and the sympathy of its
heart, must inspire intensive
thoughtful effort. to assist those who
saved our all.
