Tonight right after dinner he carried the roast into the kitchen and asked me if I thought we'd have any more luck keeping Hor- tense if he helped her with the dinner dishes.” The easy going head of the house glanced toward ‘the living room door sharply and made an effort at rising. “I told him of course, that it would never do. You see I knew that his will- ingness to help with the household cares was only a temporary phase with him and that probably after two or three evenings he would forget—or something— and then Hortense would expect some of us to go out to help her. And I certainly don’t want to keep a dog xnd do the barking myself.” “You don‘t—what?” asked the easy- going head of ‘the house, whose mind had roamed back to his book in an unguard- ed moment and who had heard only the part about the dog. “That is, I don’t want to pay a maid and do the dishes myself,” amended Rus- sell's mother. “No, no quite right!” The easy-going head of the house_again maneuvered to open the book, but his wife interrupted “Then last night—you krow it was his regular time to call on Kathryn—well, last night he came in at 11 and then asked apologetically if he disturbed me by being so late!” T B I S ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY NATHAN HALE, A SPY. Every kind of service necessary for the public good becomes honorable by belng necessary. There is a something that repels most men, with adelicate sense of honor, however, from perform- ing the service of a spy. But if it be honorable to die upon the field of battle, ought he not be worthy of stili greater honor who performs a distasteful ani contumelious service at the risk of an isnominous death? Certainly no man could make a graater sacrifice for his country and n> man's name should be more highly nonored by his countrymen, than that of Nathan Hale, who was executed by the Britich as a spy on September 22, 1 Nathan Hale was not twenty vears of age when the first gun of the Revolution br upon the ears of the colonists. triotic clause at once aroused thusiastic love for liberty -an1 and without pausing for a moment to question the prudence of such a step, he threw himself into the ranks <f his country's defenders, He was at once tendered a captain's commission In the light infantry. _He served in the reg- iment commanded by Col. Knowlton and was with he army in its retreat after the battle of Tong Island. While the American army was prst- ed on the heights at Harlem the com- mander-in-chief, ~General Washingtan, earnestly desired to be made acquaint- ed with the force and coatemplat movements of the enemy, and for this purpose applied to Col. Knowlton to sc- lect some jindividual capable of per- forming the hazardous and delicate ser- vice. Knowlton applied to Hale, win, on becoming acquainted with the wic es of Washington, immediately colun- teered his services, Hale, disguised as a schoolmaster, crodsed the sound at Fairfield t Hunt- ington, and proceeded thence o Erook Iyn. When he arrived there the enery had already taken possession of Naw York. He crossed over to the city, his disguise unsuspeeted, and pursued the subject of his mission. He examined all the British fortifications with care, ana obtained every possible information rei- ative to the number of the enemy, thelr intentions, this he left the city, and retraced steps to Huntington. While here, w. ing for a boat to convey him across the sound, his apprehension was effected Hale had spent two weeks 1ithin the British lines and concealed in the soles of his boots the drawings and notes he made.

Why I never knew Russell to put rubbers on be- fore in his whole life, unless I threat- ened him and cajoled and begged and ordered, singly and all in one breath.” “We don't need to worry, I guess,” murmured Russell’s father, again opening his book. “That's it!” complained his wife. *“T can warn you and tell you everything and then all the interest you take in our only child is to turn back again to that silly book !” “I give you my word it is not silly This man received the Nobel prize for his work and there’s nothing silly—" “Don’t blame me if your son suddenly takes to sticking up people.” “Slang!” - repeated the head of the house. “Don’t forget to pay up for that by dropping your dime in the box above my desk.” “And probably sheoting people—" “He has no gun now since he sold that little revolver.” “Jim, I don't know why you don’t take more interest in what T tell you,” said his wife in exasperation. “We-e-e-ell,” answered her husband reluctantly, “this is fhe week before his birthday and he told me privately that a pool table to put in the library was the only thing he wished for.” “Why, it would cost—-" “I know it,” answered the easy-going head of the house, “but you see, he thinks he'll sort of pay up in advance for his birthday present.” “I never thought of that”” answerea Russell's mother with her eves straying toward the calendar.—Exchange. but nét cruel” said his their mistakes and smooth them over before the significance of the original remarks sink into the slower wits of their hearers. ‘Tomorrow—Extension Ears.

C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society of the region where British forces are trying to restore order. “The Moplahs of Malabar number about a million. Most of them are descendants of Arab traders who land- ed on the West Coast in the nineth century, although some are descended from converts «of Hinduism and other indigenous Mohammedan groups. “Malabar still has considerable com- merce but the large foreign trade has departed for ports where steamships can safely anchor and dock. Although Calicut gave its name to calico, the weaving of this cloth has-almost died out and piece goods are among the most important imports, “Malabar’s paddy fields, backed by graceful cocoanut groves, which also fringe the coast, and its wealth of pepper, cardamons, ginger tea, coffee, and teak, suggest the Orient to those who do not know of the imports of machinery, hardware, fabrics and kerosene which are changing a fairy land into a modern district. , This small region, shut in between the towering mountains and the blue sea, perfumed with spices. and rich with food is the last place that one would look for re- bellion or organized revolt. But the Moplahs, who sell their lives dearly and are the. type which delight the reader of adventure and harass the po- lice and soldiery, are once more rallied beneath the green flag which the fol- lowers of the Prophet once carried to Spain and to the gates of Vienna. Time and again they have revolted against the Hindus and so - fierce is their fanaticism that native bayonets have been useless against them. In 1500, two years after the arrival of Vasco e Gama, on his famous voyage which established a new trade route to the East, a Portuguese factory was des- troyed by the Moplahs, or Mopillas, and the inmates murdered. This led to a bombardment of Calicut by Por- tuguese men-of-war. (Calicut is not to be confused with Calcutta.) “For nearly a century, the peace of. alabar has been periodically disturb- ed by these fanatical Moslems.

A sharp mouth is one which projects a bit, so that when viewed in profile it becomes an cutstanding feature. It is due to the projection of the teeth and the conformation of the upper and lower jaws, and must not be confused with lips which stand out becauce of their thickness. In fact, such mouths are rarely accompanied by thick lips, and when they are the significance of them ig largely modified. The sharp mouth is sharp in the figu- rative, as well as the literal, sense.- It denotes what might be termed a sharp disposition. In other words, a tendency to irritableness, though not necessarily a lack of sympathy and affection. The irritableness, Wwhich, under cer- taln circumstances, has a tendency to develop into downright eynicism, Is the result of high-strung nerves, and a tem- perament inclined both to quick thought and quick action. You must not expect much delfbera- tion and calm judgment from persons with this type of mouth. Then hasty thoughts and, actions are constantly leading them’ into hot water, . but by that marvelous law of- compensation, the very quickness of their mental process- es enables them to seramble out of their difficulties often befoge any harm has been done.

The only break in the mountain wall is at Palghat Gap. 16 miles wide through which the railway enters the otherwi: segrated region. The railway line divides at Shoranur, near the' Ponnani River, one fork turning south to Cochin and the other north to Mangalore, passing through Calicut, the French settlement of Mahe and Cannanore on its way to the South Karara district. “Just now, Malabar is being swept by the southwest monsoon which dis- charges heavy rains along the coast, and turns the short rivers that cut the seaward face of the Western Ghats into rushing torrents. “Along the coast there is a narrow everglade region made up of back- waters and lagoons, many of which are connected by canals which are a im- portant feature in the communication of the region. Here the flora is varied and luvuriant but malaria is common. Game animals are numerous among the foothills. The uplands are heavily wooded in most parts.

DO you know that by far the larger number of the common ailments of women are not surgical ones; that is they are not caused by any serious displacement, tumor, growth, or other marked change ? DO you know that these common ailments produce symptoms that are very’much like those caused bv the more serious surgical conditions? DO you know that many women and young girls suffer need- lessly from such ailments? More than that, they endanger their health by allowing their ailments to continue and develop into something serious.
