At the close of an addresa in Uhl c«.go tn which Mr. Bryan, with char acteristic magnetism and impressive ness, maintained that war could not be ended by siege gttna or dread naughta, but that "fearless love" wan the one great and supreme force in Ihtn world, a stnnll young woman pushed forward to the platform from which the secretary of state had spok en, elbowed her way through Ihe sur rounding hedge of pretwhera and com mitteemen and presented herself be fore Ihe somewhat daunted secretary with Ihe clamorous announcement that she whs u long lost cousin. Mr. ilryun confessed himself In courteous hut cer tain terms to he uninformed of the re. lattonshlp and unacquainted with her by name or appearance. "But It is true! oh, Mr. Bryan, I'm just going to hug you!" Her arms reached for the brave Ne braskan's neck, hut he caught them before they had completed Ihe circle. "Not until ihe relationship has been better established," he said, holding her away from him and then hurrying from the platform. With due respect for the secretary of state we would point out that the Incident 1h rather rich In its lessons. In the first place, the secretary's Im mediate resort to force tn protecting himself from this onslaught of "fear less love" suggests that without arms for defense he would have een In a pretty plight. By the warmth of his Impassioned appeal for "fearless love" he had unwarily drawn to him a lit tle lady who felt Ihe call of kinship, not decorously, hut too well. Had not wise nature given him the power for quiet resistance he might have be come an unhappy victim of his own eloquence, working upon an untutored and emotional personality. As It was, with the quiet dignity, which comes of power, he was enabled to realat and master the situation. There was no struggle, no difficulty tn repelling the attack. If Mr. Bryan had had no arms hts position would have been truly embarrassing. No nmouut of fearless love would have sufficed him. Perhaps tt may be that this symbolic incident may Illumine him as to the necessity, both of arms and heart In maintaining peace. The I'nlled Mates will do well to ac cept Mr. Hryau's suggestions In the matter of acting with Christian prin ciples for the preservation of peace, hut tn our complex relationships throughout life It ts as well to Ire pre pared for misinterpretations and im practical experiments Mr ltrysn has had demonstrated to hint In quite a remarkable way the dual, not to sav multiple, powers of arms. Let us hope he may com* to realise that It Is quite as Important for hls country to be provided with the power of resist ance as the power of attraction.

Onto upon a time there wan a little bey named Oucar. Ho was deformed, and hls two sisters with whom he lived were ashamed of him. They were very naughty girls, and when their father died he left his wealth to he divided between the three children, thinking that the daughters would he kind to Oscar. Hut no sooner was their father bu ried than the sisters left Oscar alone, and they traveled In a foreign coun try. They left enough money to keep him from starving, and Oscar lived alone with one faithful servant who would not leave him. One day Oscar was looking through some things that had belonged to his father and found a curious looking gold box. It was small, and on the cover was the figure of a. dragon. Its eyes were of garnets and they seemed to twinkle as he held It In his hand. He opened the box and on the crim son lining he saw a ring. It was of 4VT AT Ai/ AC* * dull gold color and the body of a dra gon formed the ring, while Its head was the netting, and In the top of It was a large emerald. The eyes were garnets like the ones on the outside of the box. Oscar looked with admiration at the beautiful stones, and as he looked into Its depths he seemed to see a strange country where there were people wearing turbans draped around their I heads and robes of white. Then the scene changed and he saw !n land where the people wore fur gar | ments and were drawn on sleds by many dogs. Oscar became so Interested that he forgot nil about how unhappy he had been. He turned the ring over in his I hand amt finally slipped it on hts THE WAYS OF THRIFT TEACHING HOW TO EARN.

W. Struus for INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad finger. fin felt a queer tingle through hls hotly as he did so, and suddenly he felt strong and his back began to straighten. Oscar Jumped up from the floor, where he sat and found he was tall. He went to a mirror and looked at himself, and Instead of the deformed sickly boy he had been he was a handsome youth. Oscar looked at the ring again. "It must me a magic ring,” he said. "I wonder where it came from?” When the servant saw Oscar he was so amazed that he could not speak for a minute, and when Oscar showed him the ring and told him wlmt he hud seen In the wonderful emerald and how It had changed his poor, de formed body to one that was strong and well, the old man spoke. "That ring was given to your father In India," he said, "by. an old man whom he saved from a band of rob bers. "We were traveling through the country, and wo took care of him until hls friends came for hint. When he parted from your father he gave him this ring ami told him If ever he were In trouble to put the ring on the fore finger of hls left hand, turn his face to the east, and all hls troubles would disappear and prosperity would follow him the rest of hls life." Oscar had the ring on hls right hand, and he changed It and turned his face toward the east. A sound of distant rumbling was heard, and the old servant held fast to Oscar’s arm; the house trembled and the hall was dark. Suddenly there was a flash of light and Oscar saw tn front of him a man wearing a white* robe and a turban He bowed low before Oscar and said: "You are now a prince of India, and this Is your place. Your faithful ser vant beside you Is all that remains of your old life." The man disappeared as he finished speaking and Oscar looked about. He was in a gorgeously colored room dressed In the costume of a prince. He wandered through the rooms of the palace; each one was more beautiful than the other. One tiny when Oscar was riding along the road attended by hls many servants In their gorgeous trappings he saw two ladies passing. They were hls sisters who had forsaken him. They gnzed In admiration at the prince and never for a moment thought tt was their poor little brother. Oscar took two pearls from a neck lace which he wore and sent them to hls sisters by one of hls servants. 11c never saw them again, but ho felt he had treated them better than they had treated him, and he lived happily In his palace In the land where It is always summer, beloved by all who knew him. for he sought out the poor and lonely and helped them with hla vast wealth. Copyright 1914. by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City. the Society for Thrift. All-day school, part-time schools and evening schools are proposed by the commission. The Instruction Is designed to meet the vocational needs of person* over 14 years of age. There are in this country 4,500,000 persons between the ages of 14 and IS who are not in school, having left to enter the ranks of the breadwinner*. Nearly 2,000,000 of these are children under 10 years of age, the large majority of whom have left school before com pleting •ttulr elementary education, and are therefore handicapped by the lack of schooling either for success ful wage-earning or for Intelligent cit ixenshlp These young people are neither prepared to choose a vocation IrtelUgenlly nor to follow It with suf ficient prospect of future advance ment, because the schools have as sumed no responsibility for their pre paration for employment they must become wage-earners, and" have not provided for continued tralrtng THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. through part time schooling after they have gone to work. In summing up the results which may he expected from the all-day in dustrial schools the report gives the following: 1. The retention in school longer of hoys and girls who now leave be cause of their laek of interest. 2. A wiser choice of a vocation be cause of an opportunity to test the ability and discover likes and dis likes. 3. Greater certainty of success in a vocation iieeause of the development of a more definite purpose in life, of an increased industrial intelligence, of an insight into the fundamental prin ciples of n trade, and the acquisition of sufficient skill to shorten the period of apprenticeship. 4. A greater readiness to profit by part timo or evening instruction for the sake of future advancement or promotion. Clearly the problem of the public schools is to provide schools which will meet the needs of the children Whom the present schools are not reaching effectively, and to offer courses suitable to their Interests and abilities. A system of education which does not provide all-day schools for boys and girls who desire training for art industrial pursuit before entering it may Justly be charged with driving them out of the schools and into the factories and workshops. Of the 12,- 6.59,203 persons engaged in agriculture in the United States, more than 12,- 000,000 have not been trained to make the soil produce what it should. And of the 12,261,376 personal engaged in manufacturing and mechanical pur suits, not one in a hundred has had adequate training. SHOWER BATHS AND HAIR CUTTING IN THE FRENCH TRENCHES Paris.—Hot shower baths actually in the trenches is the feat nerformed by a French military engineer. An Infantry officer fighting near Neyon writes home to hls wife of the unique bath as follows: Yea, my dear, we are at last clean. Thanks to the ingenuous handiwork of X the engineer officer whom mother knows by name quite well, we can ail of us take between ten and twelve every morning a copious hot shower hath. Would it not aggravate the “Booties” if they know? For the shower bath Is Installed right In the line of trenches. Imagine a great pit ahont six yards in diameter paved and walled with white porcelain-faced bricks taken from n well-ruined house nearby and covered with a roof of gal vanized iron which is in turn protect ed by a thick layer of earth on which green corn is sprouting. On the roof we have placed nn en ormous cistern. Pipes from the cistern JOHNNY’S LETTER A fitted with taps traverse the roof and are terminated by the roses of four watering pits. Next the cistern is a brick furnace with a boiler where the water is heated. Underneath, next to t*he bath room, there are cabins In which one can un dress. wjth a stove to heat them and a cubicle with pegs to hang up one’s uniform. This morning I had a hath, the first since I left. I can tell you that 1 needed It. All the generals came to see it—the bath room, I mean; not me bathing. But that is not all. We have also a hair-cutting and shaving saloon in the trenches.
