In Her Morning Glory

Alma, ! wish you wouldn't go
around in the noG5e in tsae morning
looking like that" complained Mrs.
Willis. 1T wouldn't be so very
much bother for you to dress
neatly before coming down to
breakfast"
"She's a morning glory" snick-
cred Alma's brother, Johnny.
Alma glared at him and went on
calmly eating her breakfast in her
torn and dirty apron, worn slippers,
and hair in paper curriers'. She did
not see any use in cleaning up In
the morning. She could help with
the housework that way. Then she
would get cleaned up about noon
and be fresh and nice for the after
noon.
After breakfast Johnny and his
father went down town. Mrs. VIII
lis went over to neighbors to
get recipe for new kind of pre-
serve, leaving Alma to wash the
dishes.
She had just finished when she
heard the front doorbell ring.
There was no one else to go to the
door. She slipped into the frnt
room and peeked out onto the
porch. 1t was no one but the mail
man, who always rang when he

Iocko Earns His WAY

Jocko was a bI1ght-eyed little
monkey that Uncle Jeffery had
brought home for the twins. He
was a wise-looking little animal
and had cunning ways that made
the twins devoted to him.
But their mother was not fond of
JoCko, even though they kept him
out in the garage and saw that he
didn't bother her. AS for their
father, he said nothing about the
matter at all

had been taught this by their trainers
and with the aid Of their natural in
stinct. When on duty, they would
search the battle fields for huddled
bodies. Sometimes they would find
them in shell crater, sometimes bur-
led underneath a pile of bomb-flung
dirt, sometimes in the high grass or
blasted underground. But when
body was found it was their duty to
go up to it and to learn by instinct
whether the man was dead or only
wounded. If wounded, they. would
range alongside him so that he could
help himself from the pockets IN
their saddles. He could get stimli-
lants, food, bandages or could write
a. line on the writing pad. While the
wounded man was doing this, it was
their duty to gnaw a button off his
ur Eorm. This button they carried
back to the ambulance whose sur
geon had sent them out. Then they
would guide him or stretchers bearers
back to where the hurt man lay. In
case Of finding man already dead,
their work was little different.
They picked up his hat or helmet
and bore it back to the ambulance.
If the hat or helmet was not to be.
found, it was their duty to tear off
a shred Of the dead mans uniform
and carry that back. If the enemy
had stripped the body, they took back
a stone, or stick or mouthful Of
dirt from near where the soldier lay.

New York, Aug. 81. -. Standard

stock, sellers were able to make loo
higher prices for small lots. Heavy

icopynght. 10z3.,

New York, Aug. Silt was a
sellers market today in the cotton
cloth trade. Expectation that the
government raw cotton report
would show a falling OF in produce
ton with consequent high prices
for cotton stiffened the attitude OF
the mills.
Printers and bleachers began to
fill their requirements and the
prices for standard print cloth con-
structions were extremely strong.
There was a general tendency
among the mills to hold for higher
prices. Sheetings were equally &C.
tive and strong and sateens vera
higher with orders being placed for
delivery later in the year.
The silk market was dull and in
active with the tendency toward
shading prices more apparent.
WOOL.
Boston. Aug. 31.-The wool mar
ket here was quiet today but prices
were firm and holders predicted
that they would remain SO. The
reports from England and Aus
tralia indicate the positions in
those countries are very strong. A

been bought for American account
