AN APPEAL TO THE
WOMEN OF ALASKA
«
For thirteen yours l lived among
you, now I am away hack east in
the New England district. But,
though far away 1 am sending you a
message that I am sure knowing the
spirit of the women of the north, will
appeal to you, instead of pence and j
security in this beautiful land, the |
streets are patrolled by uniformed
soldiers anil all 'is suspense and un
certainty. Across the sidewalks on
the main streets of the cities are big
banners bearing the Red d?oss and
in the build'ing so marked wo
men working throughout the day roll
Ouiuiugos, making hospital garments,
stuffing pillows, etc., preparing them
for our soldiers who may one day need .
them. And it Is about the pillows that '
I would speak. They are stuffed with
rags cut into small pieces,, and are
haul, uncomfortable and unsanitary
at best Friends; if you wish to aid
the country and its defenders, the
young men who will fight, our battles
and shed their blood in our defense,
get together and make tip pillows
Stuffed with the soft feathers of the |
game you so frequently serve on your
tables'. Knlist the -Services of the
natives in collecting the feathers. I
know the natives and the warm, gen
erous hearts of them can be touched.
Spread the word throughout the coun
try. From lied Cro-ts Societies of
your own. Think that for a little
effort and slight cost you c>n ease
the head of a dying soldier or soothe
the pain of a man with a shattered
limb. Already arrangements have
been started here with a view to
transporting these pillows and the war
relief department iu dwliuPtctl with the
plan. Probably some revenue eutter
wilt bn employed to bring them from
A la ska.
If Goil grants (hat we shal not need
them ourselves, we will send them
abroad so that the wounded and suf
feVmg of our allies may receive the
comfort they will bring to Ibe camp
and the battlefield.
I quote you an appeal from a Meri
den man who is serving with Ihe Am
erican ambulance corps In France:
"For God’s sake send pillows, thou
sands of them—” And this is the
reason for my appeal to you—yet, not
my appeal, but your country’s.
If pillows arc sent to the Meriden
Red Cross society I will personally see
to their proper disposal and report to
you just, what is done with t* em.
The Meriden branch of the society
is in a good position to get them
quickly to places where they may be
needed.
Later on more details will bo sent
to you and other places designated —
but, begin the work now!
Help the American Tied Cross to be
prepared to meet the awful sufferings
of war—1» nn*iat tn ttie srevin# nf life
and the alleviation of suffering in war
and civilian disaster. (Signed.)

ANECDOTES OF
THE FAMOUS
Vice Admiral Cursi, the Jialian m'm
ister of marine, who is an expert shot,
once offered to bet that he could Are
twenty shots from his long barreled
service "automatic" at 200 yards range
and "call” each shot correctly without
waiting for the marker.
The bet was accepted by a brother
officer, tlie stakes being a box of
cigars Everybody gathered round to
watch.
"Miss!" chied. Coral, after his Aral
shot; “miss," also after Ids second
and third. The spectators, beginning
to see the point of the Joke, commenc
ed to titter.
The other party lo the wager pro
tested, not without heat, that Corsi
was not aiming a the target at all.
Tfle Ipter MnDshed iilb task, and
then remarked In the most quiet, mat- |
ter of fuel tones: “(if course I wasn’t
I have been aiming at those cigars."
Sir Wilburn Itamsay tells an amus
ing story to illustrate his contention
that the habit of reasoning is devel
oped in male children at a remarka
bly early age.
While visiting a friend ite over •
heard a discussion between the little
son and daughter of lbs host.
“I wonder what we’re here in the
•
world for?" asked the little hoy.
Ilis companion thinking for a re
cent lesson answered gently: "We are
put here to help others, of course.”
"Um!" exclaimed the little boy after
a moment’s thought, "then what are j
tile others here for '"

AS most people who have the pleas- ,
tire of his acquaintance know perfect- j
ly well, Sir T’eerbohm Tree is a very
tactful man. He is also an exceed- I

and heartily detests the small even of I
n. lm<l ono.
llo was alone in a railway carriage
wlien a young man entered, and. sit
ting down opposite to him, puffed
away heartily at a "weed" too awful
for words.
“Are you aware, sir,' inquired Sir
Beeibhom in lis most impressive man
ner,” that this is not a smoking car
riage ?”
With an npologilic remark the
youth flung his humble smoke out of
Hie window. A minute latev ho ob
served incredulously, "But—hut you
are smoking yourself.”
“Quite so,” replied Sir Beerbohm
blandly, “but I though you might have
conscientious scruples. Er—have one
of mine?"
The youth selected with alacrity u

proffered ease, lit. up. ami soon Hie
pleasing aroma from two oxeellwcnt
