Cape Horn, some succeeded in crossing the plains, but 
many left their bones to bleach upon the sands of the 
desert. The Civil War, too, played its dreary part ia 
ending the cabinet-making period, for it closed the South- 
ern market to the New England manufacturers, Then, 
after the war, the blight from which the North Shore 
‘manufacturers never recovered, came, for their small 
shops could not compete with the great factories of the

War Notes. 
XIV. 
A lack 
Of preparation, 
Neglect or hesitation, 
Invites attack. 
We fight our battles but in vain 
If future good answer not present pain. 
Some must be wrong, some must be right, 
Right may triumph and so may might; 
There’s always an underdog in the fight. 
Religion is a potent force 
That makes for character, 
But in man’s nature there are depths 
That only war may stir. 
You smite me on the cheek 
I am not angry yet. 
You smite the other cheek— 
You surely will regret! 
I have sufficient sense 
To make my own defense. 
The cruellest. war the world affords 
Is not the fight that is fought with swords. 
Whatever, iiceover: the eye may scan, 
It sees the warfare of man with man, 
Till the world’s hard lesson of pain and loss 
We learn at last at the foot of the cross.

VISIT to the store of the Webber Company in Town 
House square, Salem, is a revelation of the smartest 
and tne last. word in fashionable wearing apparel for 
milady, Particularly true is this of the sport clothes for 
the summer season of 1916. What is more appealing to 
the hearts of the feminine than pretty sport clothes, ua- 
less it be more pretty sport clotnes. ‘They can be found 
Webber’s in a distinctive and alluring array. Here we 
find a charming display of the separate skirts, so fashion- 
able this season, in a great variety of stripes and checks, 
in both silks and tub fabrics. Beautiful sport coats ‘a 
Kayser silks, chinchillas, the new brushed wool cloths, 
which are very chic, also corduroys; charming creations 
in sport dresses in the combinations of Kayser silk coats 
in stripes and plain colors and white skirts of kool kah‘i 
cloths, very distinctive; the always good linen sport 
dresses in every color combination, as well as white; the 
simple and girlish goose girl dresses of linen in the em- 
pire style with pockets on the skirt with goose designs ; 
also linen and voile dresses, in white and colors, making 
“something new.” Last and by no means least are the 
pongee dresses , about which, for style and durability, little 
need be said. Here we find every conceivable combination of 
the natural color with green, pink, blue, etc. Then for 
girls who like more dainty dresses we find the adorable 
dimities and muslins in quaint and old fashioned designs 
of very delicate color tones, There are beautiful sweaters 
in angora, shetland wool, silk fibre and silk and wool mix- 
tures in colors to please milady’s fancy. Then, too, a 
ereat variety of middy blouses in silks and tub fabrics, 
as well as Russian and Corsack blouses for the girl who 
enjoys “‘solid comfort.”
