THE FACTORY ~ WORKER IN A GREAT ENGLISH MUNITION PLANT. a. : Pathetié Little THe of 'a Girl's Devo- tion to the Cause of Duty. All her mates in the great munition factory wondered why she worked with such feverish energy. She was not robust. They knew that she was married, that her man was "out yonder," that she had no one dependent upon her, and that she kept 'herself to herself, sharing none of their joys and pleasures, but ever { ready to help bear another's burden; ever ready with that practical help which is worth a pound of pity, says an English writer, But all appeals to her for assist- ance and advice had to be made out of working hours. From the instant she "clocked on" for her particular shift until, weary anw worn, she "clocked off," she did not and would not waste a moment. And somehow the quiet resolution, grim tenacity, the almost white- the t concentration of this. woman on rk exercised a beneficent influ- 7 in her shed, which percolated " even to the most flippant among that band of workers. Her form was frail and thin. Her outdoor clothing was of the plainest description. She mystified them. A Wasted Day. 'Why, they asked themselves again and. again, did she work with such feverish energy? Why did her plain, uninteresting face become suffused with radiant enthusiasm as she bent lovingly over her shells? That she was not a miser, they knew, for she was generous to a fault, so that she was not working like a slave, harder than all the others, to earn the extra pay. The excellence of her work began to be talked about. In none of the shells she handled was there ever the slightest suspicion of a flaw. Inspec- tors, out of mere curiosity, h: sub- / jected her work fo the most hearch- one tests, and had found it blameless. | sta And how utterly impervious she the influence of the injuri- edients she had to use. Cor-|, , lyddite, chloroform, nitro-gly~ erine, poisonous, noxious h rendered the other workers sick and dizay, and caused them to re- |.

Yet, to the keenest observer it was plain that she was not really enjoying herself. Something was lacking. And only the woman knew what it was. She wanted to be back at her bei hour spent away from the shells she loved meant torture. To her simple mind, always with the great idea, as yet uncommunicated, at the back of if, it seemed sinful to bask in the sunshine on the silvery sands when the lathes which turned the shells were silent. Came one morning when she did not appear at the factory. "There was quite a commotion. Everybody was speculating what had happened to her. She had never lost a minute since she started, d she had work- ed every hour of overtime the author- ities had permitted. When night came one of the wo- men to whom she had been excep- tionally good went to her lodgings to see what was the matter. She found her ill--desperately ill. Nature had at length rebelled. The Reason Why. The woman's yellow-hued cheeks were sunken and hollow. She was so weak tht she could scarcely put out a hand to greet her visitor, There was no lack of comforts in the room, and a doctor had been; but the pain in the woman's face was pitiable to behold. And it was not physical pain, but mental agony, caused by her en- forced inaction. The women' talked, as women will. At first the invalid was reticent and evasive, Gradually the visitor work- 'ed the conversation found into inti- mate channels. She spoke of home life, of life before the war, and of dear ones at the front, and at last learned 'what she wished to know. Why did this woman work so ter- ribly hard? Why did she turn out a larger number of shells than any other woman in the shed? Why did she take such a pride'in her work? Why was she so particular that every shell which passed through her hands should be so perfect? oo The woman on the bed turned a radiant face to her visitor, The old enthusiastic look leapt back into her eyes, "I'll tell you, Sarah!" she answered happily. "My man's a gunner! He may use some of the shells I fill!" Just that; nothing more. But it was understood by the woman at the bedside, just as you and I will under- ear.

As time passed, however, I found myself growing worse, and consulted a doctor who said that I was not only badly run down, but that my nervous sys- tem was badly shatter I lost flesh, my appetite was poor, I slept badly and notwithstanding the doctor's treat- ment grew so weak that-I had to leave my business and was confined to thehouse. Time went on and I was steadily growing weaker, and my friends were all greatly alarmed for my condition. In this condition I was strongly recommended to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as the doctor's medicine was not helping me I decided to do so. By the time I had used three boxes I could tell that they, were helping me. When I had taken eight boxes of the pills I felt able to attend to my business again, and people were surprised to see me out. I contihued the use of the pills until I had taken twelve boxes, by which time I .was feeling as well as ever I did, and was being congratulat- ed by all my friends on my full re- storation to health. I feel now that if I had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the outset I would not only have saved much money spent in doctor's bills, but would have had renewed health sooner. I cannot speak too highly of this medicine, and would re- commend it to every man who feels weak, nervous or run down." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, nt, HAL Re THE REGIMENTAL MOTTO. Tells How it Came Into Existence and Relates Some A If you look at the badge of a regi- ment, you will generally find in it a word or short sentence expressing som® guiding principle or idea. That is me--the motto. I may be in English, "French, Ger- man, Gaelic, or Welsh--examples in all these languages are, in fact, pos- gessed by British regiments--but us- ually I am in Latin, and I often give a clue to territorial connections, mili- tary exploits, ete. Originally I came from'the motto of a particular family, which was sometimes nothing more than the war- ery of its remote ancestors. Such a motto is the "Esperance" (hope) of the Northumberland Percys, famous in Border fighting. It rang high above the din of battle in many .a bloody conflict between English and Scots. 7 But in 'more recent times I became of territorial or other significance. Look at the regiments whose motto is that of their own city or county. The Devonshire Regiment, for instance, bears "Semper Fidelis" (ever fai ful), the motto of the city of Exeter: In of eases the mottoes of par- ticular regiments were given to them for military achievements. "Celer et audax" (swift and bold) the King's Royal Rifles owes to Wolfe, and the unique possession of the Worcester- { "--appears to dai. colors, after the Peninsular War.

The frock il- lustrated is an example of this; a short panel in the front and back hangs from the shoulders to well be- low the normal waistline, breaking the straight lines of the skirt while large square pockets do the same at the side.

W. firma __ UNTYING THE RED TAPE. How the Commanding Officer Got What He Wanted. Since the chief requirement in a torpedo-boat destroyer is speed, speed, and yet mare speed, it has always been the aim of naval constructors to keep the fittings of such vessels as light as is consistent with strength and to dispense with all fittings that are not absolutely necessary. Sometime in the year 1904, says Lieut. F. H. Roberts in the Army and Navy Journal, a flotilla of destroyers sailed from the Atlantic to the Philip- pines by way of the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. It so happened that | ; the commanding officer of one of the | destroyers weighed about two hun- dred and thi unds. His two as- gistants, both of them ensigns, each weighed more than two hundred pounds. Out of a half dozen petty of- ficers three were heavyweights, and in the crew were two or three others of the same size. When the flotilla arrived in the Philippines the weather was hot 'and sultry, and the sun kept the steel deck of the vessel like a stove. The vessel's original allowance list had in- cluded one electric fan, and so the commanding officer immediately sub- mitted a requisition asking that a fan = DopDs "KIDNEY 7] PILLS 4 Washington, and some he not wish to weight to the vessel its speed." place, and further requested that the disapproval of his requisition be re- considered. Needléss to say, the fans were forthcoming and no one was transferred, not even the ¢ommand- ing officer!
