With the ADVENT of summer comes
the beginning OF the period wl:ci: ;l:e

Cheerfulness is the most desirable

LITTLE WARS OF THE FRENCH
They Have Two Campaigns on Hand
at Present That May Last
for Years.

While the war in Morocco calls tor
10000 men, France still has two other
little wars on her hands with no pros
poets of complete pacitication within
three or four years.
The latest news from Wadal in the
heart OF Sudan shows that in February
the negro tribes affiliated with the Sc
noussia were still fighting fiercely, de-
spite invariable and severe losses.
A serious encounter took place on
February 7 in Darkouti. just occupied
by the French under Colonel Largeau.
On the previous day a large caravan
from Mecca, in "onnivance with the
Senoussian chief, Allan Djabou, pre-
scented itself at the intrenched port at
N'dele, protesting a peaceful attitude.
At three o'clock in the morning the
tribesmen, approaching under cover OF
the caravan, opened furious fire on
the French and their native allies. The
battle lasted until eight. when the at
tack broke UP in a panic. Allah D1a'
bon was shot in the leg. He left SO
dead on the field and carried off hun
drrGs of wounded.
This is a sample of dozen COM
bats recorded in brief dispatches In
the French papers. Reenforcements
are now moving in from the coast to
join Largeau They should reach him
about the middle of August. He Will
then have 1900 men, and 1t is be-
lieved he will soon be able to pacify
central Africa and end the pernic1ous
activities CT the Senoussia.
The other troubled region Is on the
Ivory coast. The tribes living near
the Liberian frontier have recently
been brought into order after cam
puign of six weeks in which they lost
heavily, while the French had seven
men wounded.
France has 2,4OO native troops un.
der French officers operating In the
region, and expects to have it reduced
to order in three years. So far 10000
guns have been captured from natives
and destroyed.

GREENE WAS A LUCKY Man
His Lost Five Dollar Bill Found ir
, Two Places, and His Conscience
! Elastic.

! 1T anybody but Greene had told me
this I wouldn't have believed it, and
wouldn't have believed him if it had
happened to anybody but Greene
said the man. 1.-THE other day Greene
lost five dollars. When he got home
he began to figure OFT where he might
have lost it. There was chance every
time he took out his pocketbook. He
had had his pocketbook in his hand
he remembered. when he left the drug
store at One Hundred and Fourth
street, and again when he left the for
lists at One Hundred and First street
I'm order to expedite the search
Greene telephoned the news of his
loss to the druggist. The druggist was
very accommodating. He promised to
put the whole drug store force on the
Job and to telephone back the result
az soon as the premises had been
thoroughly searched.
, while waiting for a message from
the druggist Greene telephoned to the
florist, and received similar assur
ances Of cooperation: IN ABOUT AVs
minutes the druggist called up. Thu
five dollars had been found lying IN
der the edge of dry goods box on the
pavement and would be handed over
to Greene.
Greene jumped into his coat and
grabbed his hat, but before he got ia
the door the florist telephoned that
the five dollars had been found In the
ash can just outside his door, and
would be held against all Corners until
Greene called for it. Greene's con
science is Of the India rubber variety,
10 ne had no computations about col
lecting the five dollars from both drug
gist and florist. I'll bet that wouldn't
happen to anybody else on earth but

Steri|izing Liquids.

Perfect sterilization of liquids by
means of filtration only seems to be
made possible on a large scale
through process originated by two
French scientists and reported to the
Academy of Scientists at recent
meeting. 1t is known that membranes
of collodion have the property of 70
tanning all the microbes in q LIQUID
filtered through them. But they are
very fragile and therefore impractical
outside Of the laboratory. By re-en
forcing the collodion membrane with
fine wire screen imbedded in it, Just
as pane of glass is thus REINFORCED,
the two scientists constructed a filte,
not only strong enough for practical
purposes but so effective as to ex.
clude even molecules of salts dis.
solved in the liquid.

LIVE UNDER THE SAME ROOF
Then, and Not Until Then, viii You
Become Really Acquainted
With Your Friends.

Two households may stand side by
side on the same street, two families
live within hailing distance Of one
another for years in the same COM
munity, and yet have opposite tastes,
sentiments and convictions. The chill.
dren of each growing up together may
marry and. until they reach the period
of new adjustment, never suspect how
antagonistic has been their early
training. This is one reason why the
first year of marriage is so beset with
briars and thorns. Everybody knows
that until people actually dwell under
the same roof they do not mutually
become acquainted. A single week
spent with friend at house party
does more to promote intimacy or In.
difference than years of superficial
social intercourse.
The touch-and-go meetings Incl.
dental to teas and receptions are the
merest suggestions Of personality.

a test Of disposition and tempera'

During courtship and betrothal an en-.
gagged pair are on probation. Without
effort each displays qualities of charm
that cannot fail to be att active. The
most ordinary speech has flavor Of
compliment. The future husband and

They surely will if on both sides there

Of Them UnexplainabIe.

A fly on window pane will crawl
to the top, fly back to the bottom and
crawl up again. This order is seldom
reversed. Why, no one knows, 1t Is
on record that a fly crawled up

Hens scratch for food with the sun
behind them, the reason being that tho
rays reflect on the minute particles.
A blind hen will pick grain and not
miss a kernel
Cats seldom lie with their feet to
the fire. Usually they lie on the left
side. Dogs lie with their fore paws
to the fire.
A mouse will ignore food supply
sufficient for q meal and run great
risks to nibble at wholesale supply,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. 1t will
hide at the source Of food supply and
not depart therefrom until actually
disturbed. It isn't true that mouse
runs to hole at the first alarm.
Find a harmless little snake the
length of lead pencil and provide a
box for it in the house, visit it daily,
and at the end of three months 1t will
crawl to you for food.
Goldfish usually swim around globe
