SERBIAN PEASANTS
AWAITING DOCTOR
•
DESCRIBED BY A PROMINENT
WRITER IN A RECENT
ARTICLE.
To watch the sick peasants wait
ing outside a roadside dispensary
was to be given an illuminating in
sight into theft* isolate^ lives. From
da{vn till sunset, men. women and
children would arrive, the victims
of every conceivable kind of dis
ease. Some of them, never having
been able to consult a doctor be
fore, would walk from 50 to 100
miles across country for the privil
ege. That, weak and ill, they could
perform such big walking feats
seemed impossible to believe. One
woman I saw had walked 20 miles
with a condition of the neck and
throat that would make a civilized
being think twice about crossing a
royom. Another, suffering from can
cer, had ridden on horseback on a
journey lasting several days, while
other patients came in ox carts or,
if too poor to afford even that mode
| of travel, were strapped to the
backs of donkeys. One grimly stolid
loking peasant brought two child
ren delirious with diptheria. Ris
wife and two other children were
lying dead at home.
The way in which these destitute,
stricken people sought to express
their gratitude was not without its
touching side. Many of them would
bring bunches of flowers gathered
by the wayside on their long 'an!
tedious journeys. Others, at the
American clinic, were distressingly
anxious to give the eminent Dr.
Castellani his fee in coin. For the
medicine he prescribed they tried
in vain to induce him to accept a
penny or twopence — probably all
they had.
Such flashes of self-respect and
pride, revealed by the most sub
marged of Serbia’s population in
the face of poverty and pain, are
an earnest of the spirit and temper
of the race as a whole. No matter
how poor he may be, the Serb still
remains proud. “Our enemies may
trample over our bodies, but stamp
out our spirit they never will!” M.
Pashich declared lately, when the
outlook was at its blackest: • "Bet
ter far for us to die in beauty
than to live in shame!”—The Serb
ian People in War Time,” by Stan
ley Naylor in the March Scribner.

SOME LEAP YEAR DOXTS.
(Pittsburgh Dispatch.)
Here are a few leap year
“don’ts” given by a phrenologist to
guide the lowly man should he be
tagged and declared “it” by one of
the other sex. “Don’t marry a
woman,” he advises, “whose mouth
is set in deep round lines. Such
a woman will have too much of a
will of her own. Don’t marry a
woman with a line running down
one side of her mouth to her chin.
Such a woman will be cranky. She
will have opinions. Marry a woman
with an evenly balanced mouth.
Don’t marry a woman whose mouth
lines are heavy and whose whose
upper lip is long. This means sel
fishness. The prominent mouth and
the retreating chin in all cases
mean that a woman is looking out
for herself and her own interests.
Don’t marry a woman whose facial
lines are like spider webs inclosing
the mouth as in a network. This
means that the woman is a wor
ner.
THOSE WAR HAS
MADE BLIND
i
\
FRANCE AND BRITAIN GIVE
HELP AND IN A WAY
BRING HOPE.
These days the streets of Paris
are filled with, soldiers, each of
whom has given to France some
part of his physical self. That his
country may endure, that she may
continue to enjoy and teach liberty,
he has seen his arm or his leg, or
both, blown off, or cut off. But
when on the boulevards you meet
him walking with crutches or with
an empty sleeve pinned beneath
his Cross of War, and he thinks
your glance is one of pity, he re
sents it. He holds his head more
stiffly erect. He seems to say, “I
know how greatly you envy me
And who would dispute him ?
Long after the war is ended, so
long as he lives, men and women
' of France will honor him, and in
i their eyes he will read their thanks.
] But there is one soldier who ean
! not read their thanks, who is spar
ed the sight of their pity. He is ihe
one who has made all but the su
preme sacrifice. He is the one who
‘ is blind. He sits in perpetual dark
ness. You can remember certain
nights that seemed to stretch to
doomsday, when sleep was withheld
and you tossed and lashed upon the
pillow, praying for the dawn. Imag
; ine a night of such torture dragged
: out over many years. With the
dreadful knowledge that the dawn
will never come. Imagine Paris with
her bridges, palaces and parks, with
the Seine, the Tuilleries, the boule
vards, the glittering shop windows |
conveyed to you only through noise, i
Only through the shrieks of motor,
horns and the shuffling of feet.— i
(By R. H. Davis.)

WHAT UNCLE WALT,
POET PHILOSOPHER, SAYS
Despondency.
I sometimes think when I am
tired of writing dippy verse, that j
natught t owhich I have aspired is
worth a tinker’s curse. I look
around with gloomy eyes, in these. |
my woeful moods, and everything
beneath the skies seems bargain
counter goods. “All men are false, j
all women fierce,” I cry, with scorn
ful jeers, and then proceed to shed
a tierce of effervescent tears, j
“There’s nothing permanent but woe. ]
and that’s a cinch,” say I; “there is]
no virtue here below, and truth it-1
self's a lie." But when I stop to
think a while, this fact comes home]
to me; my system is too full of
bile—I need some boneset tea. And]
when I drink about six quarts, this!
life seems a delight; m yliver ac
tively cavorts, my stomach’s work
ing right. And then all men and
women, too, seem lovely and serene;,
and thus, perchance, it with you, O
specialists in spleen! You roast this
good old merry' globe and make the
swear words buzz, and thihk you’re
harder up than Job, the gentleman
of Uz; you cry; alackaday! alas! and
rend our tearwet garb, when all you I
need is sassafras or t’other useful
varb!

WITNESS TELLS
OF EXPERIENCE
WHILE A MEMBER OF THE
CREW OF STEAMER
MINNESOTA.
ALLKINDSOFTROUBLE
TUBES AFTER TUBES IN THE
BOILERS WERE
BLOWN UP.
A member of the crew aboard the
steamer Minnesota when she sail
!
ed from Seattle, Wash., November
id, tells of their experience from
the time trouble began off Cape
Mattery until the big ship was
towed into San Francisco.
The occurance of trouble began
with the blowing out of the boiler
tubes and no sooner could one
boiier be put into commission by
the replacing of the old tube by
a new one than a tube in another
boiler would blow out. This was
kept up until 375 new tubes were
used when it was found necessary
to use old tubes that was stored
away on the ship. During the
blowing out of the tubes several
of the firemen were seriously burn
ed and one man experidhced the
breaking of an arm, leg and four
ribs.
Shortly after leaving Seattle j
bunker fires were discovered which j
added to the hardships of the men
in that shovels, bags of cement, |
picks and boxes were found in the j
bilges which not allowing the wa
ter to be carried away kept the 1
fire room .flooded.
For twelve days the starboard
enigne would not work satisfactorily
and finally it went out of commis
sion altogether and emery dust was
found in one of the bearings. This
occured about 900 miles south of
San Francisco when to the know
ledge of the crew the first cad
ioi help was sent out.
Shortly after leaving Seattle fire
w as discovereyd in the emergency j
coal bunker which had been burning
i or years.
When relief came to the stranded
ship she "'as at the mercy of the
seas.
As a means of breaking the
monotony the crew rigged an awn
ing over a portion of the upper
deck with music furnished by an
officer on the piano, dancing was
indulged in until they were safely
within the Golden Gate.
The big ship is now in the China
Basin* at San Francisco undergoing
repairs.

Our COFFEE, ’tis of thee,
Friend of humanity,
Of thee we sing.
THOU stimulating cup,
With life'ln every sup,
We ne’er could give thee up;
Delicious thing.
Patients who must be nursed,
Sisters most dead with thirst,
To thee they come.
Thou currest their aches and pains,
Cleared up their muddled brains,
Till health throbed in their vains,
None didst succumb.
Of thee we’ll ever think,
Wake up at night to drink,
One more sweet cup.
And when thou art all gone,
Of joys there’ll then be none,
Our lives we’ll fain lay down,
“The jig is up.
