Slavery Still Issue
In British Empire

London, Jan. 25.-The British Par.
liamentary cupboard has many skele-
tons. Although aged and musty and
sometimes robed in such modern
disguises as native compulsory act"
or communal services regulation"
the bones of the slavery question are
frequently annoyingly ratified in the
ears of Government officials.
Some Englishmen are startle dfrom
time to time by the pronouncement
Of prominent ehurchman or. poll
tician that the institution of slavery
officially exists in some parts of the
British Empire.

Training Schools
Of National Army
Attracting Many

That the army offers the only op-
portunity for even an elementary
education for thousands of young
Americans who live in undeveloped
communities is evident from the
flood OF letters which nave been
received by the Adjutant General
since the policy of education in the
Army was recently announced.
Mothers and fathers whose sons
have been declined for enlistment
because of minority or physical de-
feet have written stating that there
are no schools to which their boys
can be sent, and that they are un-
able financially to send them away
from home to schools where glnful
occupations are taught, and asking
that special permission be granted
for their acceptance into. the army.
Public-splrited citizens in many
communities have sent in the names
of young men who should be in
school, requesting the Army to send
them literature calling their atten-
tion to the opportunity being missed.
The father Of eleven children, nine
of whom are boys, including pair
of twins, writes that he sees no pos.
sibility at home for a proper educa-
ton for any of them, and desires
that special permission be given to
enlist his second Oldest son and the
twins, all three of whom are a little
short of the minimum age. He says
his "boys are large for their ages
and will grade we'll up to the aver
age country boy in looks and intelli-
gence." He lives on 6O-acre "fln
down" Ozark farm in Missouri, and
finds difficulty in even outfitting hts
children to attend the common dis
trict school.
"A letter from Nebraska reads in
part as follows:
Il don't know where the recruiting
office around here is, but | have a
boy who will be d8 years old Xmas.
He has quit school. and has no pro-
fession, at present he is helping on
a farm. We read the literature all
through and we wish he was old
enough to go. He might better be in
The army for 8 years learning to be
a good farmer or whatever he would
'ather learn and also earning some
hing too"
AS part Of the campaign to
widely advertise the new educational
work in the Army, circulars were
sent to thousands of rural addresses
where recruiting officers could not
,e sent. This was done in November, |
10 that farm work would not be in |
erfered with by enlistments. Twenty
,ccupational subjects which are
aught in the army were advertised
II this circularization. Thousands of
eplies have ben received request
ng further information. Among the
ubjects specifically mentioned in in
uiries, agricultural training leads, =
orming Is IL per cent of the sub
ects mentioned. Auto mechanics
curses come next, with II per cent:

CHAPTER TWO
The Founding of the PhyIIistines.

The Founding OF the PhyIiistines.
One little word largely accounted
for the success of j. Patterson Bing.
1t was the word "nO." 1t saved him
in moments which would have been
full of peril for other men. He had
never made bad investment because
he knew how and when to say no"
1t fell from his lips SO sharply and
decisively that he lost little time in
the consideration of doubtful enter
prises. Sometimes it fell heavily and
left wound, for which Mr.. Bing
thought himself in no way RESPONSE
bic. There was really a lot of good
will in him. He didn't mean to hurt
any one.
'Time is a thing of great value and
what's the use of wasting it in idle
palaver?" be used to say.
One day. Hiram Blenkinsop, who
was just recovering from spree, met
Mr. Bing at the corner of Main and
School streets and asked him for the
loan of a dollar.
mo sir Z" said Mr.. ]. Patterson
Bing, and the words sounded like two
whacks of a hammer on nail. mo

money to people who make bad
use of it."
Can you give me work. asked the
unfortunate drunkard.
'Not But if you were hired girl,
I'd consider the matter"
Some people who overheard the
words laughed loudly. Poor Blenkin
sop made no reply, but he considered
the words an insult to his manhood in
spite of the fact that he hadn't any
manhood to speak of. AT least, there
was not enough of it to stand up and
he inSulted-that is sure. After that
he was always racking his brain for
something mean to say about j. Pat
terson Bing. Bling was a cOld-blooded
fish. Bing was scrimper and a
grinder. If the truth were known
about Bing he wouldn't be holding his
head SO high. Judas Iscariot and J.
Patterson Bng were off the same
bush. These were some of the things
that Blenkinsop scattered abroad and
they were, to say the least of them.
extremely unjust. Mr.. Bing's inno-
cent remark touching Mr.. Blenkin-
sop's misfortune in not being hired
girl. arose naturally out of social con-
ditions in the village.
Furthermore, it is quite likely that
every one in Bingville, including those
impersonal creatures known as Law
and Order. would have been much
happier if some magician could have
turned Mr.. BlenkinsOp into a hired
girl and have made him a life mem

were deservedly well knOwn--and j.
Patterson Bing, the owner of the pulp
mill, celebrated for his riches; but
one could almost say that its most
sought for and popular folk were its
hired girls. They were few and sniffy.
, They exercised care and discretion in
regulated the diet of the said employ
ers and the frequency and quality of
their entertainments. If it could be
said that there was an aristOcracy in
the place they were it. First, among
the Who's Who in Bingville, were the
Gilligan sisters who worked in the big
brick house of Judge Croker; another
was Mrs. Pat Collins, seventy-two
years of age, who presided in the kit
chen of the Reverend Otis Singleton !;
the two others were Susan Crowder
woman Of sixty, and red-headed
girl with one eye, of the name of
Featherstraw, both Of whom served
the opulent Bings. Some Of these
hired girls ate with the family-Saye
on special occasions when city folk
were present. Mrs. Collins and the
Gilligans seemed to enjoy this privi-
lege, but Susan Crowder, having had
! ali ancestor who had fought in the
| Revolutionary war, couldn't stand it,
and Martha Featherstraw preferred to
| eat in the kitchen. Indeed there was
! some warrant for this remarkable sit
uation. The Gilligan sisters had q
