at the Wrong End and Rush in
Mary's Pity
In an old country.
Knr and far away,
A woman went n-wecplng,
On n fresh spring day.
A woman went n-weeplng,
Kor she heard birds singing,
And under the hill
There was new grass springing.
"He loved the new grass,
And all the birds." she said;
"He loved the sparrows.
And threw them bread.
How can I live
And my own lad dead?"
To know that he waited
In Ood'a own town
Was little comfort to her.
Slowly down
The road to the village
With her sobs to smother,
All on a spring day
Went Mary, His mother.
Now o'er 11 dark world
War holds sway,
And there Is sound of sobbing
Tills fresh spring day.
To all weeping mothers
She bends low.
Stretches out her hands to them
And sa.vs. "I know."

How to Select a Fresh Fih
When possible, go to market and se
lect the fish yourself. You can tel a
fresh fish by full bright eyes, bright red
gills, firm fletli. and fresh odor. Be sure
that the flesh along the backbone smells
fresh. It spoils first there. Don't buy
fish that has been thawe out several
days before Its sale, for It spoils quickly
after thawing. If frozen, fish 'will keep
In good condition for months. Buy It
frozen and let It thaw In a cool pface,
then cock It Immediately.

actress. To be pretty Is not enough.
To have brains over and above this Is
not enough. To take a good picture nnd

Beyond all this you must have that
