THE WILMINGTON DISPATCH SATURDAY AFTERNOON, APR LUr .via. 'A. n - AS YOU'D HAVE CHOSEN. Why grlere you? - One of every two 1 who loves must walk alone? One must live through the shortening days 'mid scenes the two have ' v known; s " As truly as two . meet . and love, so ' truly must they part; : One shall know love till life's last ' ' hour, and one the aching heart "When comes the parting of the ways. God's promises are true, ' And she shall come down Heaven's way, her dear hands out to you, With the old love-light; in her eyes, Gpd's sunshine on her hair, ' E'en as in days when you were young and she was young and f, - aftr. - Love triumphs over every change," , love bridges the abyss, And you shall feel her clasping hands, I the glory f her kiss, And parting's heartache will be gone, and you shall laugh, you two. And you two shall walk hand in hand as In the paths you knew; Love has walked with you many years and days were sweet and long, And those sweet memories shall be like echoes of a song, Both of you loved. A day or two, a year or two, and then .The." days of grieving shall be past A and you. shall meet again. One of each two must go away and one- must stay awhile, And always in your memory the sweetness of her smile Shall he . with' you as you walk in the paths yo utwo have gone on and left her here to walk alone Without. your, arm. to lean upon. God chose for you and He Chose to arrange the parting days .as you would have them be, She to go on loved to the last, you : at her side, and then You to walk n the lonely ways till , you shall ; meet again. Two score and nine years filled with love, with by-lq songs at night, " Two score and nine years, every dawn of which was a delight; Tou have been blessed more ' than most men with love and tender . ness, And now it is as you would have it be. All the distress Of parting, and the loneliness of empty, songless years, The reaching, empty arms and heart, the darkness and the tears. Life's dwindling loveless paths are yours, and y;nirs alone to go, As you'd have chosen them to be because you love her so. Judd Mortimer Lewis, in The - Houston Post. HhaHfis "R.

Herafter when a call comes, the num ber will be put on? apad oh the desk and when the ' person j wanted comes in the office her attention will be called to the number. To cooperate with the Red Cross and not retard the work being done there refrain from calling unless the matter is vi tal in importance, which of times it is not ; in fact,- of trivial nature only. . RED CROSS SIDELIGHTS. In the drive now on there -are to be made by and ready for shipment by April 25, seven boxes of packets, each box containing 684, making the total of 4,788. These packets are for te American soldiers now doing duty in the trenches. Each packet con tains one- gauze pad, four compresses, two tampons, and one applicator which is a woolen stick sandpapered and notcnea at tne end and upon which absorbent cotton is wrapped This is dipped in iodine and the sol dier applies it to his wound until as a first aid treatment arrives. This will in many cases save his- life by sterilizing the wound, for sometimes a long period elapses before the wounded can be cared for in the hos pitals. There have been formed in the fol lowing churches Red Cross auxiliar-. ies and these units are making the packets for the drive now on. They are St. Andrew's, Grace, First Bap tist, the Temple of . Israel and St. Mary's Pro -Cathedral, ,besides the col ored auxiliary under Louisa Howe. This unit is making the bandages for the packets which is a strip 84 Inch es long. Men are especially invited to visit the work rooms and inspect the ar tides now being made as the work' is particularly interesting at this time. During the week several prominent business men have paid the work rooms a, visit and were very much gratified with the work that is being done. This output goes right to the front (the. 50,000 dressings) and it was a compliment to the Wil mington . chapter that it was selected to do this special work or that it was considered worthy to undertake so large an allotment. The attendance at the work rooms is considered large if one hundred are at work during a day.Gratifying? Ye3. But haveyyou thought haw small a number that is in comparison with the number that attend the moving pictures daily? Recreation is alright. But women, your country needs you and your freedom and liberty is de pendent upon those men at the front who stand between you and the cru elty and lust of the Hun. Cannot you show your grat'tude to them by do ing your part in supporting them and supplying them the necessities sent out by the Red Cross which must be made by th women at home in the ' NEW YORK LETTER. ' ' ' ' (Special Correspondent of The Dis patch). New York, April 20. Watch out for the Endless Chain Yarn! New York has had a taste of this wild propagan da this week. The yarns were whis pered about in the cafes, in the the atre lobbies and at the opera. People told them with a shudder. Traced down, they proved to be mere Jab rications set into circulation by pro Germans. Here is a sample of one of the hid eous stories: A well known society woman happened to be in a street car with two young girls, heavily swathed in black veils and accompan ied by an elderly female companion. From time to time the woman com panion raised the veils and wipes tears away from the girls' eyes. The society woman sympathetically said to the companion that the girls appeared to be ill. Whereupon the companion answered: "They are worse than ill. They have Just re turned from the north of France, where they were captured by the Ger mans. Their hands were cut off so they could not write of their treat ment, and they tongues were split so they could not tell of it And, well I'm taking them to a maternity hos pital now." The society woman bleached and went into hysterics and was removed to a hospital hopelessly insane. Many intelligent people accepted the wild story as true and it was so widely circulated that thousands of folk called up the newspapers to learn the facts. Reporters traced the story as far as Allentown, Pa., where a woman there said it was told a girl friend of hers who worked in a store by a traveling salesman. The yarn was simply one of those "endless chain" stories, which, a couple of years ago, used to deal with alleged victims of "poisoned. needles" girls who were jabbed in a crowd, hustled into a taxi and never again seen or heard of by their relatives. Another wild story was told a calm patriotic gentleman in the lobby of the Majestic. The gentleman grabbed the story teller by the arm and bur rled him to a police station. He prov ed to be a patriot, but had foolishly believed the story. The whole scheme is to spread fear the chief weapon of the. Hun propagandist in America. Advance notices are beginning to be sent out by a new metropolitan hotel now in process of building. So much is promised that the people sus pect a publicitv agent. Among the things promised are newspapers at what the street newsboys charge. No whiskbroom boys. AH checking of clothes free No tips. A morning pa per under your door without charge. And the price of the room printed and framed in the room. Here's hop ing that when the nlace is crowded the ideas will not do the disappear ing act.

He took off his coat, walked over and picked up a chair and beat it to fragments against a post. This chair finished, he picked up another and went through the same process. Finally the gasping city editor call ed nut: "Here, what are you doing?" "I'm resigning, you gray haired idiot," was the reply, "and I am m signing in a way that will make you remember me until your dying day. And after you are dead I want a piece of the rope." Then he marched out and the "At? editor got him later in the day by tel ephone and offered to double his sal ary, but he wouldn't come back. He has joined his colors. He will make a fighter, no doubt. Over in Brooklyn a young man has started a religious organization. He married a girl of wealth and as his desire was always to be a preacher, she bought him an old church not in use. He preaches there every Mon day and is building up quite a con gregation.
