paratus. His pen should be kept clean
and should be large enough so that Mr..
Pig may take his exercise like any
other gentleman. Undoubtedly this will
do the pig much good and the farmers
who are guided by the professor ad-
vice will feel their chests expand with
just pride in this new charity.
"The pig is what man has made

against English rule has ebbed and
flowed, but always has been in exist
cnce. The people of Alsaco and Of Lor-
raine are no less sensitive and high
spirited, but there is an important
social and political difference. Be
tween 164S and 1907 Alsace was
partly transferred to France and
partly seized by Franco from its Ger
man rulers. Lorraine, too, was coun-
ty Of the empire from tho middle Of
the ninth century. q duchy from OIL,
and from 953 was divided into two
duchies, Upper Lorraine and Lower
Lorraine. The former remained con-
unchanged until 1886. when
it was granted to Stanislaus, ex-king
OF Poland, and on his death in 1866,
was incorporated in Franco. Lower
Lorraine, which stretched to the shores
Of the North sea, was united with the
duchy Of Brabant in the eud of the
twelfth century, and in 1920 with the
duchy Of Burgundy, part Of which is
now tho French province of Burgundy,
At the present time the area of Al.
SAGE. Lorraine is 5576 square miles. In
1900 the population was 1,71T,45l, and
il has been estimated that not more
than 100000 Of this number were of
French origin.

FRANCES BITTER MEMORY.

More than forty years have passed
since the Franco -Prussiau war, and to-
day we find the people Of Alsace still
unreconciled TO their Teutouic masters.
On Saturday scores of townspeople at
Zabern in Alsace were injured rs the
result of rioting which followed insults
hurled at them by German officers.
The demonstration, designed to express
the Indignation Of the citizens at the
remarks Of the officers, was suppressed
with the bayonet. Whom the troops
were ready to fire, the people scattered
at the command to disperse, but the
soldiers pursued them at double-quick,
and prodded them with their bayonets
and the butts Of their rifles, and several
persons were injured Earlier in the
day number of young heutenants in
the Ninety-ninth infantry were seen
pursuing with drawn swords youth
who shouted an epithet at a German
who was singing the national anthem.
These events arc not cited for the
purpose OF fixing the blame on either
side. If there is any blame, one side
IS probably as guilty as the other. The
events, however, are highly significant.
They indicate that all the measures
which the kaiser's government has
taken to Germanize Alsace and Lor-
raine have been failures Had the peo-
pie of these provinces been left to them
selves by the French, they might have
been absorbed into the German nation.
allty, and might have become more or
less patriotic subjects of the kaiser,
but the French people have never rested
in their agitation against the appropria-
tion Of these provinces by tho Iron
Chancellor.
The demand for the retrocession of
Alsace and Lorraine has grown into
religion IN France. It has it's scripture
its liturgy, its prayers, its curses and
maledictions. Controversial books, ro-
mances and poems have been written
on this theme for forty years, and today
the high priests Of this cult are more
Jealous, more iusistent and more clam
orous than ever. It Is evident that this
patriotic propaganda has been moro
powerful that the arms and restrictive
laws OF Germany. The inhabitants of
Alsace and Lorraine have been con-
stantly reminded that they are the
flesh, blood and bone Of France. Old
and tender memories have been pic.
tured in appealing forms. Always the
fiery cross of an ancient patriotism
has been held aloft like guiding star.
The increasing intensity Of the cru.
SADIE is evidenced by the outbreak at
Zabern. France will not forget this
crowning humiliation until the Ger
mans and the French once more have
tried conclusions in war The cause
Of world peace is retarded by this ever
irritating thorn in the side Of the
French people.
For 700 years the Irish people never
AVE forgotten that they were a separate
nationality from the English, and

A NEW DISHONESTY.

A now form Of dishonesty in the use
Of tho telephone came to light o few
days ago in New York City. Anony-
nous telephone calls were received by
newspaper offices, stock exchange
houses and others interested In finance,
In each instance an inquiry was made
as 20 tho financial standing OF some
important business house. The usual
form Of inquiry was something like
this: els So.and-So in troublefP OF
elias the failure of So-and-So been an
uounced yetY'' This persistent tele~
pboning made traders timid and even
brokers became infected with the pre-
vailing timidity. A Now York paper,
which tells Of this incident, saws that
one Of the firms mentioned in the tele-
phone messages has extensive foreign
connections and that, on tho day when
the telephone was most used in order
to create q feeling Of distrust as to its
stability, this house had bank balance
Of 100000 and more than $3,0oo,0sO
out on call and time loans.
James B. Mabon, president of the
Stock Exchange, has issued a statement
asking for assistance in tracing the re.
sponsibiity for the telephone calls,
with the purpose in view Of placing the
matter before District Attorney Whit

houses of established reputation have
been mentioned freely in these tele.
phone talks and r systematic effort
made to injure their business Under
the New York law this offense is pun.
ishable, and the intention of tho Stock
Exchange is to bring tho culprits to
justice.
Every one Of our boasted modern in.
ventions brings with it disadvantages
as well as advantages. There is scarce.
ly community in the country where
tho telephone has not been used at oc-
casional intervals in the manner dc.
scribed in New York, but for the pur.
pose Of venting some private spite
rather than to injure some business.
However,, with the multiplication of
safeguards that the genius of telephone
people has been able to throw about
the operation Of their business, the use
OF the telephone has become increasing
ly dangerous to evil-doers and, for this
reason, we have not the slightest doubt
that the New York miscreants will be
captured if they persist in their course,
The only occasion for surprise is that
they have not already been caught.

ear, with the result that culture is eye
minded -
Mr.. Chubb's observations serve at
least to direct attention TO the tremeu-
dous development OF the moving pic
ture in the few years that have elapsed
since its humble and nnprctentious be-
| ginning, At the first, kaleidoscope
picture was a novelty offered at some
what rare intervals by an Contemplating
vaudeville manager. 1t was then a
Hfiller'' rather than feature of the
BILL and used to amuse the audience
when otherwise a tedious. stage wait
would have been unavoidable. Grad.
ually the picture grew in favor until
here and thero house devoted to the
"canned DRAMA was to be found, and
then came the flood, until now almost
every business block OF every city in
the country has its "movie" house,
while even granger villages arc provided
with this form of entertainment.
In the beginning the moving picture
was crude, indeed. II WASH really
moving picture, but rather bit of
scenery or group Of notables. Rapid
development brought the action in the
picture, and the familiar drama of the
pursuit Of the villain through city
streets, with many antics and much
buffoonery, came into being. Every
thing was exaggerated during this Pc
rod of the picture's development. Not
only were obstacles in such pursuits
accentuated, but the speed was height
ened by the elimination of parts of the
film. Gradually Americans began the
of films aDd from the mo
mcnt that the French grasp on the
business was lightened, sanity and wis
dom began to be demonstrated. The |
of the ''movie' had at |
last been discovered and American |
brains and American money were ready |
and eager to exploit them. Serious ac
tors were engaged and they brought
10 the preparation Of picture films the
skill they had learned on the legitimate
stage. Real dramas were enacted and
he motion picture business won its
olace among legitimate theatricals.
A recent estimate gives the number
'f admissions to moving picture shows
n the United States last year as
100000, 900, In other words, the pat
onage was sufficient to cover q visit
% q picture house every week Of the
year by every man, woman and child
n the country. We do not vouch for
hose figures. They may be exaggerated
ust as the pictures themselves were in
he beginning, but there is no doubt
hat the number Of admissions yearly
o such houses is almost beyond human
understanding. France was the home
f the industry at first, Now the
United States is its center. Three
ourths Of the films used the world
ver are produced in this country.
'wenty five thousand miles Of films
vii be exported this year-certainly a
evelopment worthy of consideration.
