1t was taken for granted in those
days that every girl wanted to mar
ry She might be single by choice,
but it was always the meme choice.
A girl was reared for marriage.
Her entire training was directed TO
the time when she would take unto
herself a husband. And she was ex.
pected to take him as early as posi-
Bile. Life held nothing of interest
for her save marriage. Her place
was very definitely in the homo.
Today, the old maid deadline has
been wiped out. A woman is never
too old TO marry. In some enlight-
ened circles II is even admitted that
some women are happier in a bust
moss or a profession than they would
be in marriage, and certainly that
no marriage is better than a bad
one. At any rate, there are COM
pensations in wide range Of inter7
ests for the unmarried woman-no
longer necessarily an "old maid"

Letter From John Alden Pres
colt to Sydney Carton.

Dear sgd: After you left last
night. Zoe Ellington became much
worse and died this morning at
about ten o'clock, without regaining
her senses.
All the while she kept asking Les
lie to forgive her for coming into
her home. Poor little girl, she gave
away more of her life than she
probably would ever have told II she
had not been delirious.
Poor thing, she kept babbling, "He
made me join la coupe and I loved
him so. I didn't want to rob you.
said wouldn't. 1 won't, I won't,
won't"
sgd, she screamed and screamed
and screamed until thought
should lose my mind. They tried to
calm her with opiates, but her nerves
were in such a condition from the
shock that the drugs had no effect.
1t seems the love she had for Les
lie and the babies had worked a
great change in her. She had en-
phatically refused to rob us and she
paid for this resolution with her life.
It has been a terrible shock TO
both Leslie and me.
After all. sgd, loves and ideals
that are worth fighting for. are
worth dying for. Zoe carried her
banner on. JACK.

Night Watches Were
of Military Origin

The Jews, like the Greeks and the
Romans, divided the night into mill
tary watches instead of hours, each
watch representing the period for
which sentinels or pickets remained
on duty. The proper Jewish reckon
ing recognized only three such
watches, entitled the first or begin
ming of the watches" the middle
watch, and the morning watch. These
would last from sunset to 10 o'clock
D. m, from 10 p m. to . a. m.; and
from a. IN. to sunrise. Subsequent
to the annexation of Palestine to the
Roman empire as a province, the num-
ber Of watches was increased to four,
which were described either accord
ing to their numerical order as in the
case of the fourth watch" or by the
terms "even, midnight, cock growing,
and morning" Their watches termi-
mated respectively at 8 p. m, mid
night, a. m, and a. m.

JUNIOR RED CROSS AIDS
PEACE BY BIG GROWTH
Gains $4,000 Members in Year
in Schools Throughout
United States.

A new high level in peace time
membership of the American Junior
Red Cross is recorded for 1925-its
ranks numbering 5,7SS,648 school girls
and boys-a gain of $4,000.
This unique and powerful children's
organization started as a war meas
ure, but today is one OF the greatest
influences for peace ever known. An
increasing participation in local pro
grams of service has featured their
years growth. It is indicated that to
a greater degree than ever pupils in
the schools are performing individ-
ual and collective acts OF service IN
true Red Cross spirit
The success of the junior swimming
program, launched last year through
cooperation Of the Life-Saving Serv-
ice of the Red Cross, has led to a de-
termination to make it a regular fea-
ture of both these branches.
An outstanding feature Of the
Juniors work this year was the par
ticipation for the first time of Junior
Red Cross worker in the disaster re-
lief operations following the tornado
in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
Schools in many more fortunate local
ities displayed a keen interest in
sending toys and books for the use
Of the children in the disaster area.
The Junior Red Cross porgram has
fiOurished not alone in settled com
munities, but has been extended TO
Indian schools, and to native Alaskan
schools where many Eskimo children
undertook Junior work. In addition
the international correspondence be
tween schools is proving more and
more popular. American schools are
now corresponding with those in thir
ty-four countries.

Clock Seemed to Him
Some Strange Animal

The pendulum of Mrs. WinthrOp's
antique floor clock had an irresistible
fascination for the children of the
neighborhoOd, who often came in to
watch it.
When Ted a newcomer in the
neighborhood, came in, he Immediately
spied the clock and rushed up to take
hold of the tick took. When told he
must not touch it, he put his hands
behind his back and stood and watched
it with rapt attention.
A few minutes later Mrs. Winthrop
was called from the room, and on her
return she saw his hand reaching out
to grasp the pendulum. At her sharp
exclamation he turned and, with quiv-
ering lips said:
81 wouldn't hurt it; was just go
ing to pet It,"

Large and Small Sums
SuDeU Conscience Fund

At the United States Treasury de-
partment in Washington there is a con-
science fund and it is growing rapidly.
Conscience -stung individuals from all
sections of the country, and even in
foreign lands, frequently send in sums
of money to make good frauds that
they have perpetrated on Uncle Sam.
Since the first contribution of five dol
lars more than 100 years ago, the fund
has grown to nearly 100000. Those
who contribute to this fund hardly ever
give their authentic names, and few
90 to the trouble to explain how they
came to unjustly get into possession Of
government property or money.
These contributions have varied from
a One-cent postage stamp to $4,000.
At the present time the annual receipts
are said to amount to over $1,000. The
largest contribution, that of $4,000,
was accompanied by brief note stat
ing that it was the final lnstallment on
an $4,000 payment, which was four
times the amount the sender had
stolen. The most frequent cOntribu-
tors to this fund are little children who
send in few cents to make good can
celed postage stamps which they have
used illegally. These small remittances
it is said, are often accompanied by
the most pathetic notes showing this
mental tribulatiOns suffered by th'
writers.-Pathfinder Magazine.
