Women in Riots and Looting
ONIT the other day I was rereading for
the mindreth time Dickens' most fasci
nating "Talc of Two Cities," and It
struck me that It Is having Its modern
counterpart nil oyer again now. In this
most lerrlblo of wars nothing whatever
surprises one, "Vengeance Is Mine, I
Will Repay," Is a text the carrying out
of which Is not always easy when human
passion runs high and the tide of resent
ment sways multitudes.
In the rioting which took place
alt
over London following the sinking of the
Lusltanla the women took a leading part.
The East End was particularly active In
expressing Itself against Germans or sup
posed Oermans, and the East End when
reused to wrath Is a fearsome and awe
Insplring spectacle, as only thoso who
have Visited the lower parts of London
can testify.
"Vou drown tho women and children,
and now wo will drown you," shouted
the mob while It forced one unfortu
nate German butcher Into a horse
trough. And had It not been for tho
prompt Intervention of the police, In all
probability they would have drowned tho
man. ,.
It wan In the pork section of London,
known as "The Tillage," whero the live
liest scenes took place. During tho morn
ing a number of German butchers drove
up In order to obtain supplies. They
were Quickly recognized and the crowd
"rushed" them at once. The Germans
were roughly handled, until tho police
arrived upon the scene, whereupon' tho
Germans showed their appreciation of

In many cases they had been mistaken

Tho women In every tlmo of war play

The Daily Story
His Wife's Strategy
"Martha, are you there?" called
Farmer Mltton from tho back-door step.
"What Is It, pa?" asked his nlfo as
elm appeared with a dish In her hand.
"There's Jim Thomas coming down
the road."
"Well, what of It?"
"Ho looks all dressed up."
"He's probably going to a dance some
where" "He's probably coming right here ,to
Bee our Minnie."
"Then he'll have greased his boots for
nothing Mlnnlo ain't wasting hertlme
on no such fellows no Jim Thomas,
Tho farmer had more to say, but beforo
he could say It Jim Thomas had arrived.
Ho was a young man of 25, who had no
particular occupation, but traded horses,
helped to put up windmills and now and
then acted as a piano agent.
He snt down beside the farmer, reached
for his Jackknlfe and a stick, and pro
ceeded to whittle and talk. Mrs. Milton
cumo to tho door to shake tho table
cloth and gave him a nod, but during the
two hours ho remained ho saw nothing
of Minnie He Boomed much disappointed
Whon he had departed the farmer en
tered tho sitting room and said to the
wife
"Look-a-hcre, Martha, what's the
use In hurting n fellow's feelings?"
"What follow?"
"Jim Thomas, of course You didn't snj
three words to him, and Minnie didn't ap j
pear at all It was a rog'lar snub and I
felt sorry for him."
"Then jour sympathies aro wasted I
want to tell you that Jim Thomas Is n I
sneak, and It Minnie ecr speaks to him
nsraln I'll box. her ears, though she Is go- j
Ing on 19 ears old."
"Maithn," he began, "I've known for
two weeks that thero was something up,
nnd that jou nnd Mlnnlo were keeping It
from me Now, then, I want to know all
about It. Jim Thomas was down In tho
lot whero I was nt work today, and ho
had Just begun to tell mo that Mlnnlo ami
Burt Anderson were mad at each other
when Elder Davis came along and hung
around so lung that Jim had to go beforo
finishing his story You might aa well i
tell me the whole story." I
"I told you Jim was a Bncak," answered ,
thn wife "If ho hadn't been there '
wouldn't hab been an fuss between
Mlnnlo unci Burt, and If ho hadn't beo.i
ho wouldn't have shown his face here
lomcm.
"inis seems to De a tarr.ei nice uuwuc
do two folks engaged to bo married and
fighting llko cats and dogs' What's tho
row about?"
"Nothing but Burt's Jealousy Mlnnlo
wroto her name In an autograph album
and Purt found It out through Jim Thomas
and gave her a. blowing up about It She
ansref" buck and ho got mad, and that's
tho renson ho hasn't betn horo for tho
last two weeks."
"I don't see how ," but Bhe Inter
rupted by saying It wns tlmo to wind
tho clock nnd go to bed; and during tho
noxt ton das she resolutely refused to
answer n word whenever he approached
tho subject. Then ono evening she queried
of him-
"Pa, what's Burt Anderson working at
now?"
"Hoeing corn In the field alongside tho
rond," was the nnswer.
JDo jou think he'll be there tomor
row?" Likely to be. Why?"
"Never mind why. Did our old horse
'Charlie' over run nway?"
"Lord, no!"
"Could ho run away If ho wanted to?"
"He might get up a sort of hen canter."
"Suppose," continued tho wife, "that
tho lines were to get under his heeli.
and some one wns to hit him five or
six cuts with tho whip, would he break
Into a canter'"
"I guess he would Yes, he'd be so
astonished that he would probably dust
along for a few rods "
"And would he keep to the road?"
"I guess he would. What are you ask
ing nil theto questions for?"
"Perhaps I'll tell jou this evening.
Don't bother me now, as I've got threo
pans of milk to skim "
Farmer Milton had no sooner left tho
houBe for the field next morning than his
wife began Ilxlng up a crock of butter
for tho village grocer, while Minnie har
nessed tho old horse to the democrat
wagon and got ready to drlvo to town

Silk gloves ure novel this season, too.
Contrasting colors are used extensively,
as shown by the white on navy and the
black on white combinations. "Four

are also fashionable and very exclusive.
Bilk gloves of this type are tan, white,
navy or black with contrasting colors,
and cost $1 '5 a pair.
Sport gloves arc widely popular and,

golf glove has made its appearance. Of

Burt Andoison was working In tho
cornfield that morning within two rods
of tho highway when ho caught the
pounding of hoofs and the rattle of
wheels and looked up to see Minnie Mil
ton driving by. He dropped his hoe and
opened his mouth to call, but she struck
the horso with the whip as If to hurry
on He couldn't say that sho saw hltn,
but he thought she did, and tho thought
hardened his heart. Ho had forgiven her
"sass" daj's ngo, and wns rendy to
"make up," but this action on her part
showed that she was punishing him.
From then until 3 o'clock In the after
noon the young man managed to hoe
nbout 12 hills of corn Tho rest of tho
time was spent in sulking or Bitting on
the fence and looking down the village
road, Ills waiting and sulking were re
warded nt last. A mile away aroso a
cloud of dust kicked up by old Charlie's
feet, and as It drow nearer and nearer tho
young man prepared to drop off tho
fence nnd hide Minnie should not have
the pleasure of flouting him again Ho
was on the ground when he heard a
woman's screams for help He heard tho
hootbeats of a horse on the gallop He
heard the clatter of a rickety old one
horse wagon
It was a runaway. Burt Anderson saw
that it was the instant ho got his head
above the fence. It was Minnie return
ing home The lines had fallen under the
horse's feet and Bho was standing up and
swaying from side to side and screaming,
There was a hero and a rescue. There
were explanations. There waa no apology
to old "Charlie," though he certainly de
served one.
"Say, now, but how did you manage itT '
whispered the husband to the wife that
evening as the two lovers had the piazza
to themselves.
"Manage what?" waa the reply In a
puzzled voice, "Abljah Milton, you are
the most thick-headed man I ever saw.
How did I manage it? Just as if I'd been
managing something conspiring and plot
ting and all that sort o' thing! There are
certainly times when you roako a body
tired!"

CHILDREN'S CORNER
The First Brave Nasturtiums
HUNDREDS of years ago, beforo ever
ono nasturtium had bloomed, a llttlo
nasturtium plant decided that It wanted
to make a flower "What does one do,"
tho plant asked tho sunbeam, "when ono
wants to make a flower a lovely big
blossom?"
The sunbeams laughed happily and re
plied, "We wondered how long It would
be beforo you began to want to blooml
Wo wondered If you would bo happy to
Just grow on, nnd on. and on, with nover
a blossom on jour vines? We're so glad
you want n blossom."
Tho nasturtium plant smiled and swung
Ho arms about gaily. "I'm so glad you
aro pleased," it said "I llko to do tho
things that my friends want mo to do.
But you haven't told mo how to blooml"
"How to blooml" exclaimed tho sun
beams, "wo can't tell j'ou how to do j'our
own work that's your business!"
"Oh, but you must!" exclaimed tho
plant In distress. "I nlways do what you
tell mo to do. You must tell mo how to
make a flower!"
"That we cannot," replied tho sunbeams
firmly. "Any plant that is strong enough
and old enough to want a flower, Is ca
pable of doing their blooming unaided."
And with that saying the sunbeams fol
lowed old mother Bun off to sleep in the
western sky.
"Now, JuBt think of that!" cried the
nasturtium plant when It got its breath.
"Those sunbeams who have always been
bo kind and helpfull And now, when we
need them most, thoy calmly go off to
Bleep without giving us one bit of advice!
Whatever Bhall wo do?"
While the llttlo nasturtium plant was
fretting and fuming about tho sunbeams.
