It is customary to store the materials and to make use of the Court Hoom when a demon stration Is to IK? given. It doesn't Heeiu that there could be any objection to this In Kershaw County.

Bradley Ui the Nation, everyone In England has forgotten the very name of the young cavalry leader. But many persona In America must have won dered what became of the dashing aol dler, ami how It happened that in the long years of war that shook Engluud and Europe his name never 0nce ap peared. When Mr. Bradley, In a leisure hour, entered the flnevoJd fourteenth century vliisKe church at Lclntwurdlne, In Herefordshire, he did not think that the bare, unseated chapel promised much of interest ; Indeed, he was Just turning away when In a far corner and partly concealed by ladders, buckets, planks and other articles necessary to the cleaning of the church, he caught sight of a lofty mural monument. The lettering on It ran as follows; "Near this place are deposited the mortal remaius of Sir Ban astro Tarle ton?Baronet General in the Army? Knight Grand Gross of the Order of the Hath, Governor of Berwlck-on Tweed, Colonel of the Gallant 8th Hussars?He represented his native town of Liverpool for seven Sessions and closed his distinguished career In this place Jun. 25, 1833." In 1708 Tarleton was sent to Portu gal, but was Very soon recalled at his own request, and with that exception he never saw a shot flred after York town or served anywhere abroad, nl? though England was constantly fight ing until Waterloo. Ho got promoted regularly, however, for he stood well at court and was a member of the prince of Wales' circle. Tarleton belonged neither to the po blllty nor to the landed gentry. He was the son pt a Liverpool merchant, an unusual origin at that time for a dashing cavalry officer and the best horseman, according to good authority, In the British army. He bad entered Oxford and had studied to become a barrister, but gave up classics and the law for soldiering and a commission at twenty-one years of age. He had a genius for the training of men and officers and for j*apld and successful strokes. On returning frojn America, how ever, he turned from soldiering to poli tics; he lost no time In entering the house of commons, and sat for his niltlve city of Liverpool for 20 years. He became a major general in 1704, a lieutenant general In 1801, a full gen eral In 1812, a baronet In 1815 and u O. C. B. in 1820. He., also held the full colonelcy of several cavalry regi ments In succession and was for some years governor of Berwick. He ap parently retired with his -wife to, Leintwardone for the last years of his life. ltvrd~there quietly and did not mix with the neighboring county fam ilies. The seclusion of his gorgeous tomb, behind the cobwebs of a disused aisle, gives a final touch of mystery to the romance that enrly associations with Virginia have connected with Tnrle ton's name.?Youth's Companion. Women In the Field of Labor. If by chance a woman (loos not be come a homemaker, but enters a busi ness pursuit, she meets unusual diffi culty. The man has been in business for generations; the tfoman is a new comer. Some employments are closed to her, either because {hey require the great physical strength or endurance, or because conventional considerations forbid. Americans look with disap proval upon women working in the fields, as they do In foreign countries; and yet there is much field work that is more Interesting, more wholesome and much more suitable than some of the work that American women are allowed to do?such, for example, as they do In laundries and In factories. Not onjy are women considered as invaderfe in men's fields, but also they sufTer because men. 'invading fields oace considered strictly feminine, are becoming dressmakers, cooks, laundry managers and clerks. Moreover, for the same work women received lower pay than men. Do not those difficul ties constitute a compelling appeal to give women In their schooling every possible equipment for success?? Youth's Companion. . Welcome th? Birds. Are all the beautiful blrdhouses that were made last winter now In place and occupied? Let us give a glad welcome to all- the birds that can be Inttuced to live near us. Not everyone realizes the benefit these little crea tures confer. The work they do in preserving our crofrs and fruit from the ravdges of Insects needp to be told again and again, > BeWdcs this great use, the happiness they give ns with thrlr songs and their beauty is not to be told or measured. Many a heavy heart has been cheered and com forted by the robin's friendly "cheer up, dearie, cheer up" as he flits about a home, fcoblns love to be friendly, and there are other birds which love human society.

KESCEL, Tho crack aviator of tho Tenth corps, "Tho Bird," ns ho was called hy his conn tuli's. could not atllle tho groan that escaped his tips. tie whs seated on tho ground, his lM*ek ago Inst a tree, to which ho had painfully crawled after his fall. In half delirium lie muttered to himself numerous broken sentences. "Commanding officer's orders were ?Oo out over enemy's position, ascer tain strength, and report Immediately upon your return.' Tried to do It, and would have dono It, hadn't been for that devilish shell. Machine damaged and old Fred hadly wounded. . "Can't forget Ids words and action when he saw we were hard hit. 'Good* by, Ueorge, old man, good-by,* ho yelled. 'I'tu hadly wounded. Iuformu tlon very much needed at headquar ters. Alono thoro Is a chance to n\ake It. With me In the machine It is Im possible. Tell Katy my last thoughts were of her.' Then for love of coun try he threw himself out Into space. Struck the hard ground luslds tho en emy's lines, and was killed. "Rotten luck. Just downright hard luck, after everything had gono so well. Splendid flight wo mado to headquarters, with tho Information they wanted, when that whistling devil caught us. With Fred's weight gone, the machine partly righted Itself and would have made a safe landing, but f6r this beastly tree. "Steering gear broken, no chance to guide. Leg busted, arm broken, and head feels smashed. Worst luck Is In being unahle to make report. "Now my head has gone wrong. Saw tho moon above, now see moons all over, going everywhere. Funny. Wish I had a drink of water and can teen empty. Wow 1 Big moon Is com ing right toward me. There It comes. Hear voices, strange, and the man In the moon has an automobile. Can hear the purr of his engine." With a start "The Bird" realized that It was an automobile from his corps. He attempted to raise an arm and uttered a faint shout. Figures alighted nnd came rapidly toward him. In a low. audible tono he said: ??r wish to/report position very strong. Heavily reinforced and more coming up rapidly." Then he lapsed Into un consciousness. Days had passed. One cool bright morning "The Bird" opened his eyes, now free from delirium. A gentle sigh passed his lips and a figure bent over him. Two questioning brown eyes gazed Into his. In a weak voice he whispered : "Report enemy's position strong, heavily re-enforced. This Is rerjstmportant." "" Good nurse Wlnthrop grasped the situation at once and, knowing Tt best to humor the patient, hurried away. Returnlhg to the bedside of the wound ed man she said quietly. "Your or ders have been obeyed. Headquarters have been Informed," . "1 know you." he gasped. "Katy, dear old Fred's sister. His last words were of you. I say good-by for him. Am tired now and sleepy." With this he lapsed Into peaceful slumber. The late afternoon sun, streaming through the big hospital windows, found nurse Wlnthrop again standing beside her new patient. The head nurse gently chlded MJss Wlnthrop for the decided Interest In patient No. 264. The girl's eyes filled with tears and she answered humbly, "Please don't scold.; for he was with my brother Fred. The two were toegther when the machine was hit" "Forgive me. dear, I did not know," replied the older woman. "Stay here until he awakens. I will attend to your other duties." "The Bird's" eyes opened. The injured roan gnzed to wonder ment at the face before him. "I know you?I have seen you before," be re peated, "you are Fred's sister Katy.M * Two small white fingers were placed on his lips and a sweet voice admon* Ished, "You must not talk now." With the uninjured hand he re moved the fingers from his Hps. Ex erting his whole strength he held them firmly while he Insisted, "I won't be quiet, must talk. Want you to under stand . Dear old Fred, my best friend, comrades since war started. Sends all his love to you." Her eyes filled with tears and with gentle fineness she released her hand, saying, "Please do not talk any more. You must be quiet, for you are In jured and til." His convalescence was very rapid. When he was alobost well one day they were seated on the cool, wide, sun-shaded porch, the small white hand otiMiss Wlnthrop nestling In his, and he recited the adventures Of her brother and himself. Her eyes over flowed With tears and she murmureq, "Dear brother.. So noble, good and true ln Firmly he held her hands and In a gentle voice beseeched, "Won't yon be my Raty now7 Fred's last' words were, 'Look after her, George/ I know It would please your brother, and to me you are everything.
