Made Shrine of Garments

They tell an affecting little story of
French soldiers. 1t seemed that some
one of the various headless--or rather
hydra headed charitable organizations
operating from our great country got
its donations mixed, and French regi-
ment just out of the trenches, In place
of some boxes of warm Undertaking
expected got some children's clothes
There was some idle testing, some
growing; but in the end that regi-
ment built an altar, enshrlned upon 1t
the little garments designed for chill
dren whom they might never see again,
and the whole regiment passed before
1t, and one AT a lime knelt and re-
newed their oath of allegiance 10 fair

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
On Signing Papers for Strangers

did you hear about the terrible
thing that happened to Mrs Thomp
son. Aunt Emmy7- asked Maud. IT
seems that a man came to see her TO
ask her to invest in some securities
his firm was selling, and she said she
did not have any ready money He
asked her If she had some Liberty
Bonds. and she showed him her one
Liberty Bond. thousand dollar one.
He told her that there were number
of counterfeit bonds about and upon
examining her bond said there were
some marks that indicated 1t might be
spurious Poor Mrs Thompson near
ly tainted and begged the stranger to
tell her what to do about 1t.
HE told her not to be unduly alarm
ed, that there was a chance that he
was mistaken His firm was indfgs
nant he said, about the counterfeit
bonds that had been foisted on the
public and intended to do everything
in it's power to run down the culprits
They employed a man who was an
authority on counterfeits and he could
tell in a minute If her bond was good
or not So Mrs Thomps let him
have the bond to take TO his office for
examination"
And. of course he didn't bring u
back" commented Aunt Emmy
Worse than that" Maud went on.
He said that. being a widow, she
should be very careful in her business
dealings. so he made her sign what he
called receipt, although she didn't
read it, About a week after his visit
she received a number OF shares OF
stock that she says she never heard
of and certainly never bought, So she
wrote to the investment house the
stock came from and said she thought
a mistake had been made. Imagine
her surprise when she was informed
that she had signed an order for those
shares OF stock in exchange for $l,-
900 Liberty Bond
First she was coming right over TO
see you and then decided not to. be-
cause she felt ashamed when she re-
membered that you had warned her
about being taken in, now that Mr..
Thompson is dead and she has to han
die her own business affairs My
brother Tom says he thsnks nothing
can be done about IL, as the receipt
bearing her signature Is really an or
der for the stock"
81 am sorry to hear this, Maud, y
said Aunt Emmy What a pity she
did not take her bond to the bank TO
have 1t examined If that slick Sales
man aroused suspicious in her mind
as to its commences She would have
been dealing with people OF integrity
whom she could trust absolutely And
yet she allowed herself to be dipped
by perfect stranger,
"Yet there must be lot Of that sor'
OF thing when you consider that over
5000 000,0 eco a year is being taken
away from the honest people In the
United States by stock swindiers. 4
the people would only learn to trust
the guidance OF their financial AFFAIRS
to their banks and never sign any
thing they have not read and do not
understand. there would be less IN
happiness about money matters -
