for expelling the worm must bo managed by

The tapeworm Is always due to tho eating

flesh of beef or pork.
The embryos of tenia solium may be seen
with the naked eye, looking like small blad

cysts arc too small to be readily seen with
the unaided eye. Flesh containing these
creatures is said to bo "measly." This
disease Is ery common In Ireland, where,
according to good authorities, as largo a
propoitlon as 3 per cent of the hogs are
affected. Tho disease, Is communicated to
man by estlng measly ileuli without suffi

The Last Call"
Hwe
LONDON. Sept. 4.
WAS the best-IOACd padre on the
estern front a fcarles man who
bcorncd bullets, and whose life was given
over to ministering to the fallen. When
the men went out Into No-JIan's-Land on
that deadly busi-
nes known as an
"advance," ho went,
too No one could
hold him back.
"Mother o' God,
'tis he that leads
the charmed life'"
said the regiment
of Irish Ouards
among whom he
worked. And In
deed h 1 s was a
charmed life.
Hall of shrapnel,
patter of machine
gun bullets, thun
der of howitzers
and heavies none
of these mattered
In the least to him.
He escaped death
by a miracle a
hundred times. AH
over the world, on
many a field of
battle, for many
long years he had been known nnd hon
ored. And it was on the battlefield that he
fell at last, mortally wounded. He was
bending over the body of nn Irish guards
man, bandaging his wounds and cheering
him. A thud, a sudden choking sound In
tho throat, and "That's my call," breathed
Father Simon Knapp as he fell forward.
He died within a few minutes.
"Sure we'll neer hae another padre his
equal,'' said an Irish guardsman, who told
me of the Impressive fnncr.il at the front
when Lord de Vcscl, adjutant of tho regi
ment, laid the decoration of the Distin
guished Service Order on his coffin.
It was In London, In Kensington, that I
attended tho solemn requiem sung for this
great-souled padre, A party of Irish
Guards were present and formed a guard
of honor, with arms reversed. ,
And tho wives and mothers and sisters
of soldiers he had helped were there, weep
ing the loss of n very brave and noble
man. The church was crowded.

"liut 'twas the set Ice on tho battlefield
that was moro wonderful than this," I
heard a soldier whisper, "and 'twas on the
battlefield the padre was wlshln' his last
call would tome. 'For, boys,' he would
say. 'I'd like to die alongside ye, fightln'
to the end
It was In a remote part of tho High
lands of Scotland not very long ago that I
came across a little graveyard, met of
whoso age-worn tombstones dated back to
the fifteenth century.
Several of the Inscriptions' were poetical
and crude as used to be tho fashion a
hundred or so odd years ago. The faults
of the depaited. as well as the virtues,
were set forth for all the world to read.
Here one could learn that bad temper nnd
spltefulncss had been tho leading charac
teristics of tho occupant of ono grave,
whllo nearby a paragon of perfection lay,
"mourned and lamented by all who knew
him."
But the small cros that caught my eye
was of simple wood, and very hew. It
somehow seemed strangely out of place
In that old-world graveyard, so I crocd
over to read the Inscription. It was
scrawled In pencil, roughly:
"The Last Call."
Helow was the name of a ery famous
soldier of a Highland leglment, a. man
who had won every decoration for gal
lantry that It Is possible to win.
For a moment I wondered that such a
gallant and famous soldier should lie in
such a slmplo grave, with only a wooden
cross to mark It.
And then I remembered the stoiy ot his
little Highland mother, who bad come all
tho way to France. Just to bring his body
home for burial. She wai far too proud
to accept a penny for expenses, too Jealous
that any one else might want to Hhaia
the honor of burying him. So sho herself
had erected the llttlo cross and Inscribed
tho words on It.
A wreath of white heather lay on the
grass nbovo the grave. And tho rain nnd
the damp had blurred tho writing on the
cross or perhaps it was the mother's
tears, who knows?
And as I drew nearer I read somo
words written in much smaller writing
below "Tho Last Call."
They were; "Ho answered It bravely,
and as a soldier."
PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
The Iron Dogs
AFTKU I woke this morning Howdy
pushed his head under my arm and I
kissed him on the nose and laughed at the
way he wagged his tall. I'll bet If he could
talk he would tell me a lot of things, but I
know pretty nearly enough now without
having any more handed to me. If some
people I know only knew as much as I do
they would have to have a summer kitchen
built on to their brains to hold It and Mrs.
Carpenter Is not tho only one, either.
Breakfast was not ready when my father
came home from his night watching. I was
Just flopping the pancakes and ho came In
whllo one was In the air, so I missed It.
He stood Just outside the door and kind of
grinned at me as if he did not know whether
I would throw him a kiss or tha frying
pan. But I thought of the bouquet and the
candy and I Jumped for him and hugged
him all over as high as I could reach. Then
he sat with me on his knee and' he said: "I
certainly have been a fool, haven't I,
Patsy?" I said; "You have. not. (You have
only been a man, which Is the same thing."
It certainly Is fine to be friends with your
father. When he had eaten breakfast and
had gone to bed I tucked the covers around
his chin and kissed him and took some
money out of his pocket for my dinner and
then Rowdy and I rambled. When I got to
school I could not sea that It was changed
much, though It did seem an awful long time
since I had seen It last. So many things
can 'happen In two days and three nights If
a person only .keeps on the Job. Why, a
person could be born-and live a whole life
time and die and go to Heaven (n two'" days
and three nights.
Howdy and I got to school before any
on else, as we nearly always do. Instead
of climbing the poplar, aa I like to when I
aft happy, I found I was too happy for that,
so happy that I wanted to keep close to
Howdy. So we went across the square with
uui on anoiner

The ojjue of the draped skirt in
afternoon frocks grows with each
passing day. Some a very few
tailored frocks have skirts with
drapery, but the materials of these
do not lend themselves quite so
happily to this form of modeling
as do the frocks of .soft finish silk.
The drapery is applied in some in
stances; that is, it is in the form
of overdrapery, as pictured in the
accompanying illustration. The
material is moonglo meteor in
navy blue and the embroidery is
worked out with varicolored silk
and gold threads.

looked at me nnd said: "Who are you?"
I said: "What's It to you?" Then ho said;
"What right have you got to sit on that
dog?" I said: "I gavo myself permission,"
Then I heard somebody laugh and I looked
nround and there was a tall, white-haired
man standing behind me with a newspaper
In his hand, I said; "Good morning." The
other man went to sweeping tho walk and
tho white-haired man said: "Come up and
sit with me, or would you rather sit where
you aro?" I said: "It Is more fun sitting
here, but I will sit the other wnv r ,!:
look at you better. Have you got any chil
dren?" He said: "No, I havo not even got
a wife. Only Just nn old maid sister" I
said: "Gee, old maids are fierce, nln't
they?" He said: "Not this one, Ib that
your dog?" I said: "You know It." Ho
said; "Where do you live?"- I said: "Over
that way, but I'm hardly ever home " Ho
jald: "Doesn't that worry your mother?"
I said: "No, sho always knows where I
am,,so why should It? Sho Is In Heaven
you know. There-goes ths first bell"!" '
Ho patted Howdy and away we went
After school we went to June's and June
Bald: -ratsy, you don't know how I havo
missed you.- i saiu: "Well. If I don-t
know why don't you tell me." Her father
said: "That Is right-" So I went to bed at
June's and Howdy and I prayed: "Dear
God which art in Heaven, hollered by Thy
name. I am glad You put It Into my head
to come to Juno's again. I am almost hap
pier now than I have ever been, and I know
I have got You and my mother to thank for
It. Olve my love to the other angels besides
my mother and please bless her and xny
father and wake me up early. Amen."
