THE FATAL COCKTAIL.
A worklns girl who had been out of worl
for a whole year
Secured a Job attending bar at tho Caf
do Beer.
Tho Job was not a swell one, but tho pool
Blrl needed dough,
And sho was Klad to throw tho suds anl
rhiff up flvo per thiow.
Sho copped out three squaro meals rtr
hour, and Flic was Kcttlng plump,
When one Bad day n highbrow wandered
Into that there dump.
Now, this poor elrl had never mixed t
drink slnco she'd been hired.
And when sho faced that highbrow shi
was scared and hIio was tired.
"Give mo a nlco Bronx cocktail," said
tho highbrow, with a Brln.
"Tesslr," tho frightened girl replied, one
then alio started In.
Blio grabbed a beer Klaus, and she used
soma port wine for a start,
Then added some hot bitters as she calmed
her fluttering- heart.
Next came some booze, somo absinthe
somo elder and some Bass,
Some gin. somo rum, somo sherry, untl
she filled tho glass.
"Here Is your drink," she said, "and 1
It's good I'll mako some more!"
Tho highbrow drank the mixture and hi
fell down on the lloor.
Tho coroner was summoned, but tho mat
hid kicked the pall,
Then to tho girl a copper said, "Tou'l
havo to go to Jail."
The Wise Fool.
"A little learning la a dangeroui
tiling," quoted tlio sage.
"Yes." agreed tho fool, "If It happen!
to be about an automobile."

The Red Cross Society
9 hum
In nn age charged with beiugselilsh,
sordid, and commercial there has
grown up nnd developed the greatest
organization for unselfish service the
world has over seen the Ameiican
Ked Cross. The growth of the Ked
Crass Society is evidence not to be con
troverted that the spirit of service is
strong iu the hearts of tiie people of
to day. The work of the society dem
onstrates that there are thousands who
are willing to devote their services to
humanity, and the support given them
by voluntary contributions shows that
there are hundreds of thousands more
who are willing to devote n portion of
their means to the alleviation of suffer
ing. The activities of the Red Cross al
ways have boen generously supported
Cv the American public;, but only since
'our own" soldiers began to take a
plnce iu the trenches alongside our
allies has this support become bounti
ful. It is the suffering and comfort of
the men from "our own neighbor
hoods" as well as the physical needs
of our allies for which tlio Ked Cross
must now mobilize. Tho result a
greater and more Imperative duty now
confronts the givers In America
No appeal to the generosity, of the
American people has ever been un
answered. Let one part of the world
be visited by some calamity like the
Mount Peleo and Italian earthquake,
Chiua Hoods, the Johnstown flood, the
San Francisco earthquake or any
greater or lesser calamity, and the re
spouse from the Nation is Immediate
ana generous to a degree. The ser
