only a naming abulition, and the

the weakness and the folly of div
ision aud brought them ultimately
buck to the old flag.
No*, more than fifty years after
the close of the civil war, the old

PERFECT WOMAN FORTY
AND HAS FIVE CHILDREN
8tio la Athletic, Mechanical, Pious, Pa
triotic and ■ Politician.
Liverpool.—"The perfect woman" has
Just been defined by a conference here
of teachers from girls' schools through,
out England. Here Is the result of
their united efforts:
The perfect woman Is forty, Is mar
ried and is the mother of five children.
She is in happy circumstances, living
in a beautiful part of the country a
few miles from a big town. She is the
center of a good home, in which there
is a high standard of cleanliness and
comfort and where good taste Is every
where visible in furniture, carpets, cur
tains, wall paper, ornaments, clothes.
The ideal woman is sensible and
businesslike, and her home is a place
of peace. She is patriotic and inter
ested in politics and does all she can to
remove the causes of suffering among
the poor. She is a delightful compan
ion and has a gift for friendship. She
Is religious and tries to fulfill her duty
toward God and toward other peo
ple. She takes walks, rides bicycles,
climbs, swims, dances, skates, rows
and plays games. She can ride a horse
and drive a motorcar. She is proficient
in many branches of practical learning.
She can do anything and everything
about the house. She has some knowl
edge of the law, knows how to invest
money, can use a typewriter. She is a
great reader; every day she reads some
serious book as well as a newspaper
and a novel. She speaks three lan
guages beside her own and reads for
eign books. She is fond of gardening
and has learned several crafts—wood
carving, metal work, bookbinding and
embroidery.
BOY FARMER A PATRIOT;
SAVES MOTHER A FINE
Gennaro Didn't Go to School, but
Cultivated Twenty Acres
In Westchester.
New York.—Mrs. Rosa de Rosa, a
widow, missed being tilled in tlie mu
nicipal term court for keeping her son
Gennaro home from school by just
twenty acres. These acres are part
her home at Mill Lane, Westchester,
and for the last month they have been
plowed and harrowed and fertilized
and planted and cultivated by Gennaro
aloue, aud he U only fifteen.
It was his age that got Gennaro into
trouble, for the compulsory education
law compels parents to keep their chil
dreu in school until their sixteenth
year. That is why Mrs. De Ilosa ap
peared in court, very much frightened
and escorted by Attendance Officers
Puglieri aud Carney.
Magistrate Appleton looked sternly
at the little Italian woman until she
had explained that she was a widow,
that there was a mortgage on her home
and that Gennaro was her only sup
port. Theu he smiled, and after Publl
eri and Carney had testified that the
twenty acres were under Intensive cul
tivation and that one fifteen-year-old
lad was doing all this work the magis
trate announced his decision.
"Sentence suspended," he said. "Your,
sou, Mrs. l>e Rosa, is doing a patriotic
duty. He is a real benefit to the com
munity—more so than if he went to
school as the law requires."
Gennaro did not hear this praise. He
was up in Westchester, cultivating the
twenty acres.
OLD MAN TRIED TO ENLIST.
Wanted to "Help Out" In Any Way,
but Was Refused.
Topeka, Kan.—The fact that the Unit
ed States government does not admit a
man over thirty-live years of age to en
list in the army prevented the officers
in charge of the local recruiting station
from passing on S. L. Palmer, a pros
perous Pawnee county farmer, the oth
er afternoon.
Mr. Palmer is sixty-two years of age
but appears to be a man of about forty.
Lie appeared very much grieved when
he was told he was too old for the serv
ice.
Neither money nor the desire for ex
perience had anything to do with Mr.
Palmer's applying for service in the
ranks. He owns 700 acres »' $ood
Pawnee county land.
His only reason was his dea«a to
•'help out," he told the officers. He
wanted to be admitted as a telegra
pher, a draftsman or a mechanic. H*
said he had fifteen years' experience
as a telegrapher.

British Command.

Smuts, who was relieved of the com
mand of the British forces operating
against the Germans in German East
Africa to attend the imperial confer

city of London. General Smuts In an
address said:
"The United States entered the strug
gle because, like us, she recognized
that universal liberty was at stake.
The end of the struggle is coming near*
er. I have learned the spirit of our
armies and know that it is magnifi
cent in its confidence to carry the
struggle through to a victorious end."
General Smuts will be offered a high
military command, and it is expected
he will accept it.
It* Peculiar Excellence.
"Do you think I shall bo nblp to keep
weeds from growing ou this land?" In
quired the gentleman farmer.
"Without any trouble at all," replied
the plain agriculturist, who had made
the sale. "If you can ;:et oven weeds
