the high character of our citizens judged as a mass, in our sympathetic and approachable attitude toward movements that make for civic betterment, in our struggle' to elevate the ideals of the whole community, in the use we make of our money to make his world a better place for all of us to live in. 1 The influence of the Friends in developing this phase of , our community life has been so pronounced and obvious that even a new comer notices it at once.

; Were every one in your town a live one, the town would be ditto and the reverse is just as true. Business Chat.

y The Yearly Meeting i The 'ninety-seventh annual session of the Indiana Yearly, Meeting is being held here this week. The history of this division of the Quaker church is almost as old as Richmond, itself . Year after year,-for almost a century, Friends have come to our city during this week, so that the "Quaker meeting,", historically considered, is one of the institutions and annual affairs of our community life. Yearly Meeting takes on significance for the whole community because the founders of Rich'mond ahd'a large majority of our citizens years ago. were Friends. i The stamp of our Quaker ancestry is found everywhere in Richmond. The denomination has made an impression that cannot be erased. Its beneficent influence has given a noble tone to our citizenship and elevated the institutions and

communal life of Wayne county. If Richmond is the "Quaker City of the West," the srppellation is an honorable one, carrying with it qualities of refinement, civic probity, conscientious discharge of duty, and desire to attain lasting and permanent possessions, of which we may well boast. The. full assets of a city are not to be found ' solely in the bags of money resting in the vaults . of our banks, or in the hundreds of smoke stacks that proclaim our industrial grandeur, or in the beautiful homes that house some of our citizens, or in the educational institutions that train our children. ' Some of our best assets are to be found in

, England and the U. S. A. ' Edwin Collis Frost of the Vigilantes believes that Americans should be profoundly thankful that England is helping them in their war against Prussian militarism. He expresses himself in the following words: . ,

, "I am sorry we had to get into this war," I overheard

a man say. "I fought in the Civil War, and then tngiana was against us. Now she wants us to help her out." I do not know who he was. I could not even see him. But it is fairly evident to me that neither hi3 head nor his heart Is performing its functions as well in 1917 as in 1861. Yet I fear there are not a few Americans who fail to realize the various fallacies contained in his remarks. When he used the word "we" in his first sentence, he meant the United States not a mere group of northern states. That is what the word "we" should mean and now does mean. This very man helped make it mean that. Hence England at the time referred to could -not have been against all of us. If she was against some of us, she must have been for the rest of us. Moreover, it Is not true that the English people were a unit in espousing the cause of either side. It may be that the British government favored one side more than the other. But, if our President of today can say that we are making war not upon the German people, but upon their government, can not we be as generous toward our allies as we are toward our enemies? . Furthermore, is the British government, are the British people the same today as In that bygone time? Almost two generations have passed. The British sovereign has changed twice. The government has changed innumerable times. Must we visit upon the present generation the sins of their fathers? Does that Civil War veteran honestly believe that he could find an Englishman today who thinks that slavery ought not to have been abolished? Then let us admit that the Civil War has become a dead issue as dead as the Revolution. Now England "wants us to help her out," says our friend. Perhaps she does. But that fact has absolutely nothing to do with the case. It is an argument "made, in Germany." We did not enter the war because England or France or anybody else wanted us to. We might have entered it for some such reason; we might have entered it because of the violation of Belgium; we might have entered it because of all sorts of abhorrent acts on the part of Germany. But we did not. We chose to remain aloof until Germany's crimes against our own people had become so many and so intolerable that we could not stay out of it any longer. , Yes, we are fighting Germany for good and sufficient reasons of our own. And, instead of regretting that we are helping England, we ought to be profoundly thankful that England is helping us.

KING-KHYBER RIFLES

t16 Br

Allah is Almighty! Allah Is Almighty! I declare there is no God but Allah! I declare Muhammad is his prophet! Hie ye to prayer! Hie ye to salvation! Prayer Is better than sleep! Prayer is better than sleep! There is no God but Allah! And while King knelt behind the mullah and the whole camp faced Mecca In forehead-in-the-dust abasement there came a strange procession down the midst not strange to the Hills, where such sights are common, but strange to that camp and hour. Somebody rose and struck them, and they knelt like the rest; but when prayer was over and cooking had begun and the camp became a place of savory smell, they came on again seven blind men. Tbey were weary, ragged, . lean seven very tetterdemalions and the front man led them, tapping the ground with a long stick. The others clung to him in line, one behind the other. He was the only clean-shaven one, and he was the tallest. He looked as if he had not been blind so long for his physical health was better. All seven -men yelled at the utmost of their lungs, but he yelled the loudest: "Oh, the hakim the good hokim!" they walled. "Where is the famous hakim? We be blind menblind we be blind blind! Oh, pity us! Is any kismet worse than ours? Oh, show us to the hakim! Show us the way to him! Lead us to him! Oh, the famous, great, good hokim who can heal men's eyes!" The mullah looked down on them like a vulture waiting to see them die, and seeing they did not die, turned his back and went into his cave. Close to the ramp they stopped, and the front man, cocking his head to one side as only birds and the newly blind do, gave voice again in nafial singsong.

"Will none tell me where is the great, good, wise hakim Kurram Khan?" "I am he," said King, and he stepped down toward him, calling to an assistant to come and bring him water and a sponge. The blind man's face looked strangely familiar, though it was partly disguised by some gummy stuff stuck all about the eyes. Taking it in both hands he tilted the eyes to the light and opened one eye with his thumb. There was nothing whatever the matter with it. He opened the other. "Rub me an ointment on!" the man urged him, and he stared at the face again.' "Ismail!" he said. "You?" "Aye! Father of cleverness! Make play of healing my eyes!" So King dipped a sponge In water and sent back for his bag and made a great show of rubbing on ointment. In a minute Ismail, looking almost like a young man without his great beard, was dancing like a lunatic with both lists in the air, and yelling as if wasps had stung him. "Aieee-aieee-aieee!" he yelled. "I see again! I see! My eyes have light in them! Allah! Oh, Allah heap riches on the great wise hakim who can heal men's eyes. Allah reward him richly, for I am a beggar and have no goods!" The other six blind men came struggling to be next, and while King rubbed ointment on their eyes and saw that there was nothing there he could cure the whole camp began to surge toward him and to see the miracle, and his chosen bady-guard rushed up to drive them back. "Find your way down the Khyber and ask for the Wilayti dakitar. He will finish the cure. The six blind men. half-resentful, half-believing, turned away, mainly because Ismail drove them with words and blows. And as they went a tall Afridl came striding down the camp with a letter for the mullah held out in a cleft stick In front of him. "Her answer!" said Ismail with a wicked grin. "What 13 her word? Where is the Orakzal Pathan?" But Ismail laughed and would not answer him. It seemed to King that he scented climax. So did his nearfifty and their thirty friends. He chose to take the arrival of the blind men as a hint from Providence and to "go It blind" on the strength of what ho had hoped might happen. Also he chose In that instant to force the mullah's hand, on the principle that hurried buffaloes will blunder. "To Kfiinjan!" he shouted to the nearest man. "The mullah will march on Khinjan!" They murmured and wondered and backed away from him to give him room. Ismail watched him with drooping Jaw and wild eye. "Spread it through the camp that we march on Khinjan! Shout it! Bid them strike the tents!" Somebody behind took up the shout and it went across the camp in leaps as men toss a ball. There was a surge toward the tents, but King called to his deserters and they clustered back to him. He had to cement their allegiance now or fail altogether, and he would not be able to do it by ordinary argument or by pleading; tye had

New Potato Plant Attracts Attention

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind., Sept. 18. Farmers generally in this township are interested in the "Southern Early Rose," a new seed potato which was planted on one-eighth of -an acre by J. S. Hazelrigg near his elevator, and yielded more than 40 bushels of prime fine flavored tubers. The average weight was a trifle over a pound per potato. The patch of ground used was formerly covered with weeds, the earth being a sandy loam good for potatoes.

to fire their imagination. And he did. "She is on our side!" That was a sheer guess. "She has kept our man and sent another as hostage for him in token of good faith! Listen! Ye saw this man's eyes healed. Let that be a token! Be ye the men with new eyes! Give it out! Claim the title and be true to it and see me guide you down the Khyber in good time like a regiment, many more than a hundred strong!" They jumped at the idea. To be continued

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

A fine augury for our happiness when such thoughts as this can come to me on my wedding day! Dicky is an artist, with all the faults and all the lovable virtues of his kind. A week ago I was a teacher, holding one of the most desirable positions in the city schools. We met just six months ago, two of the most unsuited people who could be thrown together. And now we are married! Next week we begin housekeeping in a dear little apartment near Dick's studio. Dick had insisted that I give up my work, and against all my convictions I have yielded to his wishes. But on my part I have stipulated that I must be permitted to do the housework of our nest, with the occaonal help of a laundress. I will be no parasite wife who neither helps her husband in or out of the home. But the little devils .must be busy laughing just now. I, who have hardly hung up my own nightgown for years, and whoso knowledge of housekeeping is mightily near zero, am to try to make home happy and comfortable for an artist! Poor Dicky! I do not know what has come to me. I worship Dick. He sweeps me off my feet with his love, his vivid personality overpowers my more commonplace self, but through all the bewildering intoxication of my engage

ment and marriage a little, mocking devil, a cool, cynical, little devil, la constantly whispering in my ear: "You fool, you fool, to imagine you can escape unhappiness! There is no such thing as a happy marriage!" Dicky has just 'phoned up from the smoking room to ask me if my hour isn't up. How his voice clears away all the miasma of my miserable thnnehts! Please God. Dicky, I am

going to lock up all my old ideas in the most unused closet of my brain, and try my best to be a good wife to you! I will! I WILL! The First Quarrel "I'll give you three guesses, Madge." Dicky stood Just inside the door of the living room, holding an immense parcel carefully wrapped. His hat was on the back of his head, his eyes shining, his whole face aglow with boyish mischief. "It's for you, my first housekeeping present, that is needed in every well regulated family," he burlesqued boastfully, "but you are not to see it until we have something to eat, and you have guessed what it is." "I know it is something lovely, dear, I replied sedately, "but come to your dinner. It is getting cold." Dicky looked a trifle hurt as he followed me into the dining room. I knew what he expected enthusiastic

curiosity and a demand for the Immediate opening of the parcel. I. can Imagine the pretty enthusiasm, the caresses with which almost any other woman would have greeted bridegroom of two weeks with his first present. Bat it is simply impossible for me to gash. I cannot express emotion of any kind with the facility of most women. I worshipped my mother, but I rarely kissed her or expressed my love for her In words. My lore for Dicky terrifies me sometimes, it is so strong, hut I cannot go up to him and offer him an unsolicited kiss or caress. Respond to his caresses, yes! but offer them of my own volition, never! There is something inside me that makes It an absolute Impossibility. "What's the menu, Madge? The beef again?" Dick's tone was mildly quizzical, his smile mischievous, but I flushed hotly. He had touched a sore spot The butcher had brought me a huge slab of meat for my first dinner when I had timidly ordered "rib roast," and with the aid of my mother's cook book and my own smattering of cooking, my sole housewifely accomplishment, I had been trying to disguise it for subsequent meals.

"This is positively its last appearance on any stage," I assured him, trying to be gay. "Besides it's a casserole, with rice, and I defy you to de-
