SAD WELCOME AWAITS THEM
Mother, Brother, Sweetheart, En- Route
From Europe Will Find Young
Soldier Dead.

Louis Kosmen is dead in st. Paul,
Mimi, hospital.
From somewhere in Central Europe
an aged widowed mother, a dark
haired lass of nineteen and a lad of
fourteen recently started on a long
awaited journey to far-off America to
rejoin the son, sweetheart and big
brother, believed to be ready to greet
them after years Of separation.
For eighteen long years Louis Kos
men had pursued the blue bird Of hap
piness. Through prosperity and pow
erty, on hattlefields and in hospitals
he had. followed, always with the
dream that some day he would be able
to send for the loved ones to come to
him in the promised land of America.
At last Kosmen believed he could
see the fulfillment of his dreams.
Through the aid Of his American Lee
gion pals with whom he had served in
the World war, the red tape of gov
eminent immigration regulations had
been cut and he had cabled word to
the waiting loved ones that they
should come to him in his American
home. The lines of fatigue faded from
his toil-worn face and the discouraged
droop disappeared from his shoulders
as he thought Of seeing once more his
mother and little brother and his prom
Used bride.
Then came illness. The doctor told
him that disease contracted while serv-
ing in the American army during the
war would necessitate an operation.
Recently he went onto the operating
table. The next day he was dead.
When but lad Of fifteen, Kosmen,
heir Of a once wealthy and influential
Albanian family, had been sent to
Greece to escape the Turks. His father
was killed by them. Before he left he
was betrothed, according to the Gus
tom of his country, to baby Aspasia
Gerdan. In following years he fought
the Turks, served in their prisons, was
wounded, escaped and finally came to
the United States where he set to work
to build up comfortable home for his
remaining loved ones. Ill fortune pur-
sued him. After accommodating consid-
cradle money he lost it in a business
venture. Then America, the land Of
his adoption, entered the war and he
followed the flag to the front.
In spite of broken health from the
military service he had set at work
once more to build up fortune for his
family and believed his ambition was
attained when death claimed him.

Shakespeare.
ONCE upon "a time young women,
~ unmarried, were enjoined by stick
lers on behavior not to visit public Ii
braries or picture galleries or mu-
seums unless they were accompanied
by chaperon or escort of some sort
that is, unless they were forced to
do so in pursuit of their daily bread.
Now our children go to the libraries
alone from the time they are able to
go anywhere, and there could hardly
be a better place for them to spend
their time. But they should be eau
toned to abide by certain rules Of
good manners when in library if
they are to be welcome visitors.
In the first place, the rule of silence
should be obeyed very punctiliously.
And for that reason there is distinctly
an advantage in going alone to a IL
brary, for then there is no temptation
to talk. To go with friend to Ii
brary without some serious intention
of studying or reading Is certainly in
very poor taste. In cities there is al
ways a class of persons who go to the
library because 1t is a comfortable
sort Of place, well heated in winter and
cool in summer, better perhaps than
their own homes as place for an idle
hour, agreeable for a nap now and
then and not bad place for little
Irritation. Sometimes you will even
see one of these library enthusiasts
snatching a bit of cold lunch from a
paper bag kept covertly hidden from
the vigilant eye Of the librarian under
cover of a book.
So do not make that sort of con-
venience Of your library. Do not use
| it as a rendezvous, as convenient
place to meet the young woman whose
family does not wish to receive you
in the home.
Always remember when you are in
library that if you have any ques-
lions they should be addressed to one
of the persons in attendance. If you

"The Canada of Vimy Ridge"

"The Canada of Vimy Ridge" as it
is described, is soon to become real
ity on that historical spot where the
Canadians stemmed the tide Of Ger
man invaders of France. Where now
is but the barren, war-torn field, is soon
to blossom with the trees and flowers

has granted $50 acres of land for me-
mortal purposes. Walter Allward, To
ronto sculptor, now in France, was de-
signed the monuments which mark the
spot. He was able to place the princi-
pal memorial at a point from which
may be seen the desolated lands,
lramped over by Canadian soldiers,
many to die there. The land will be
created into park.

TO COOPERATE WITH BUREAU
Legion viii Assist Veterans Branch In
Aiding Former Warriors Serving
Time in Institutions.

The American Legion will cooperate
with the United States veterans bu-
reau in the extension of vocational
training and medical rehabilitation to
the $4,000 veterans of the World war
serving sentences in federal and state
penal institutions, Joe Sparks, chair
man of the Legion's national rehabili-
tation committee, has announced.
Veterans bureau officials believe
that there are many men now serving
sentences who may be unaware that
the bureau is interested in their we'll
being, and possibly others whose i'm
prisonment may be due to conditions
resulting from war service. OF the 49,
600 imprisoned, only about 1000 are
receiving benefits from the bureau.
Legion officials may be named by
courts as guardians for mentally dis
abled veterans under the proposed
plan. Many mentally incompetent ex-
service men are said to be suffering
from lack of proper guardianship, and
their condition renders them incapable
Of instituting court action in their
favor.
1t is PROBABLE that the new plan will
first be tried out in the federal prisons
at Atlanta, Leavenworth and Mcneil
Island, Seattle. Veterans bureau ply
sicians, mental specialists and voca-
tional educators would be permitted
to survey the institutions to determine
the nature of rehabilitation measures
to be taken. The plan may later in
clude parole Of prisoners under care
of the American Legion or welfare or
CARNATIONS, while they could be sent
to vocational schools elsewhere If IA
cilities for such education were not
available at the penal institutions.

woods and tied him to twig.
He told the fairy bride to follow, but
to hide until he called TO her to show
herself to her husband. Then Tanto
crept up behind the captive Prince
and slipped the cap into his hand.
The Prince knew at once what to do
and while his captors were busy chat
tering he put the cap on his head and
called to the witch to appear.
Up from the ground slowly came the
old witch. Bring forth the one who
stole my BRIDE" said the Elfin Prince
to Tanto, and when the Goblin was
brought the Prince commanded the
witch to change him into a long
legged creature that would always be
on the run whenever anyone came
near.
The witch did not dare disobey, for
the Elfin Prince had the red cap upon
which she had cast the magic spell,
and she feared that he might work
harm TO her.
With a wave of her magic stick the
Goblin disappeared, and over the
ground ran a long-legged creature that
is now called granddaddy longlegs.
Then the Prince called for his bride
and the wedding feast went on, while
the COLLINS, who now were terribly
frightened, ran away in all directions.
The Prince flung after the long
legged creature the red cap, which
changed into a toad when it touched
the ground and quickly hoped out of
sight.

a Goblin, and before anyone could stop
him he had the fairy bride in his arms

other Elves, but the Goblin had called

leaps and bounds he was soon up with
the Goblin and the stolen bride, and
when he came to a tree that had over

the red cap from the COLLINS head as

of the Teutonic names which signify
noble, and is derived from Aethel, the

The early feminine form of this simple
little name was Aethelthryth. An
other. less complex, was Ediltrud.
Teutonic and Morse tradition seem
TO merge somewhere along the course
of Ethers history, for the splendor OF
the Valkyr fingers in the name. 1t

those early times because it signified

"a resolute will and strong hand
were woman's best title to respect" as
one writer puts it. Nowadays, Ethel,
