Let's order out the tiring squad I TRUE CITIZENSHIK Much ns we dislike to admit It, there till exists a distinct apathy toward the war on the part of a great many people In various parts of the country. The reason for thin Is even deeper than constitutional piicltlsio or pro-Germanism hatted upon explainable blood or mental association. The fact Is, although we did not realize It until recently, the average citizen of this country Ims not had Instilled In him real responsibility In und to his gov ernment, The extreme development of the democratic Idea In America and the ultra-political nature of our form of government has resulted In the al most total disappearance of the appre ciation by the Individual of what the government means to hlra. The changing of this condition Is possibly the most serious problem fac ing the Tnlted Stales today, outside of winning the war. It Involves a com plete readjustment and revitalizing of our methods of civic Instruction. This work must stHrt In the schools of the lowest grade. Many men who have had the advantage of collegiate In struction In political economy, and even the Utttuem-e of the discussion of these niatterH In high Fiction) delmtlng societies, appreciate the problem. It must be remembered, however, that hy far the greater majority of hoys who later make up the citizenry of 'he nation leave school after pausing through only the most elementary grades. The National Security League, or ganised at the start of tho war as a preparedness proganda and now devot ing Ita entire efforts to the nwakenlng of the people to a realliatlon of the meanings of the war and the menace of defeat, has undertaken n nation wide campaign on this question of true pltlsenahlp which Is worthy of atten tion and support. It hns enlisted the co-operattnn of state, county and city superintendents of schools In all parti of the country to make daily Instruc tion on the war part of actual school tuition. The league litis also obtained the release to It on full pay hy the Hoards of Trustees of a number of the largest colleges nnd universities In the country of a corps of professors who ure to constitute n "National Patriotic Kducatb'ii Faculty" to carry on this .vnrk In the broader Held.

NEVER CROSSED, There's many a sorrow and pain 1 know, As we tread the path of life; There's many a grief and lasting woe, And the way is loil and strife Bui the hardest load we have to bear Is ihe labor and strength that's lost, In building ihe bridge with toilsome care O'er the stream thai is never crossed. We have fretting and worry from morn til And anguish weighs on the heart; The stormy way seems hard to right, And life is a bitter part, Bui there is a burden greater yet, Much peace of soul it has cost, It is building a bridge with toil and sweat O'er the stream that is never crossed. There's looking for crossing all the day And searching along the shore For a bridge or ford along ihe way We shall never travel o'er. There's sighing for useless toys in vain And dreaming of chances lost; But 'tis hardest to bridge with might and main The stream that is never crossed. Then gather the roses along the way; And treasure the fragrance rare; Rejoice in the brighi and joyous day, Refusing to borrow care, For sorrow and pain will surely come, And your soul be tried and tossed; But don' be bridging to reach your home O'er the stream that is never crossed.

One day ihe bank failed, j Zetio was ihe name of the old man, and when told llie bank had failed he spent hours around the door, as if he hoped in that way to get his money. One day the receiver said to him: "Don't you know that the bank has be examined before any depositors can gel their money? This is not the first bank that has failed." "Shore, An knows dat," Zeno answered, "Ah's heered tell of banks bustin' before dis, but dis hear am de de fust time data bank evah busted rig1 1 squall in man face." At last the examinations were over and the receiver announced lhat the depositors would be paid in alphabetical order. Some mis take had been made in figuring, and when they got down to W's the money gave out and Zeno lost his savings. But he did not lose all his cour age. He saved tor a lew months and had a little to put in another bank. He went to the cashier, who said: All right, Zeno; we will be glad to open an account for you." Zeno, nuthin'," he said.

A young couple, evidently from the country, were walking down Market street the other day ap parently looking for something very much in particular. At last they stopped at a large jeweler's window in which were displayed a number of wedding-rings. They stood by the window a lew mo ments discussing some urgent question, the big, clumsy-looking fellow, who measured about six feet, apparently hesitating, says Tit-Bits. 'Go on, George," said the girl, who scarcely reached his elbows; "what's the use of backing out, now you've gone so far?" . 'I don't half like to, Mary," he replied; "lhat sleek-looking Fellow in there is sure to grin at me, and say I ought to be in the army." 'What difference does it make whether he laughs or cries!" ex claimed the girl. "If you haven't the pluck, I'll go myself." 'That's it, Mary," was the re sponse; "if you'll do the asking, 'II come wilh you and look on." Followed by her bashful lover, the little woman marched boldly in and chose the wedding-ring, while her swain twirled his hat, blushed and looked on. As they left, the assistant gazed after them with a thoughtful air, and remarked : "1 admire Mary's pluck, but I would hate to be George ten years From now." Maybe a man speaks of his "in most soul" because it isn't appar ent upon the outside. WOMAN WORKS 15 HOIS A DAY t MarvAil Story of Woman' Change from Weakness to Strength by Taking Druggist's Advice.
