Twisted Sibilants


A very pretty girl from a western
town was the latest arrival at select
boarding school In Massachusetts. Be-
ing pretty and well dressed, she be-
came very popular
She was elected to be an usher for
the monthly musicale, and, being pain
fully shy, she was much wrought up
over it. She never could do it--no
never, But the election was positive
there was no drawing out. The even
ing found her perfect flutter OF pink
frills, awaiting to receive the early
Corners, Each of the other young
women who were acting In this ca
pacity bore forward an imposing audi
tor. and Elsie found herself inquiring
of a. very old and elegant gentleman,
In a voice scarcely audible:
"Sir, shall I show you q seat?
What, what. what?" demanded the
austere old fellow, holding his hand
to his ear:
"sir." she screamed in flustered
voice. Shall sew you to a sheet?

Patient Chewers

From Harper's magazine.
A little Boston girl, who had fire.
cuently been adinonlshed by her par
ents as to the evils resulting from
hurried mastication of food, was on a
recent visit to the zoo in the Bronx.
Among the beasts that particularly
claimed her attention were the camels
She watched them long and earnestly
as they munched huge punches of grass
and then turned to her uncle.
"Uncle," said she, what a treat it
would be for father and mother and
Professor Fletcher to see those cam
els chewing all day."

only sixteen miles from Brussels, and
it was in that city that there was
sound Of revelry by night"-the night
being before the Battle of Waterloo.
N the year 400 Belgium was a part q
the Empire Of the Franks. In sos she
was taken in charge by the Emperor
Charlamagne. During the succeeding
centuries she has been under the con-
troll Of the Danes, Austrians, Spanish
and French. On the fall OF Napoleon

kingdom called The Netherlands"
Since 1880 Belgium has been indie

world was ashamed of, but the Bel

CAN'T
BE FORCED OUT
Would Have to be Kidnapped In Orosr
to Enter Army Of Warning
Power.

The outbreak of the European wal
and the resultant call upon reservists
in the various countries to return to the
army has resulted In Keokuk people
affected by this order making inquiry
of the court officers as to the law
Some are Of the opinion that they
must return, while other have held tc
the contrary. Those who have pom
dered this question will read the fol
lowing communication, which has
been sent out by Morris Marx Of Chi
cago, the naturalization expert Of the
superior court there, in which he
holds that none need return against
their will:
Neither first papers nor full citizen.
ship papers are necessary for men OF
foreign birth who seek to escape com
pulsory military service in their ma
tive lands. The constitution Of the
United States, with its personal lib
erty provision, is their savior.
"But all men who have, taken out
first or full citizenship papers nullify
them by leaving the country to light
under another flag. That was the re-
sult in the case of many Greeks who
left America to fight in the recent war
involving their country.
"After such service the naturaliza-
tion papers must take its course Just
as before.
ave are asked many times about
the standing Of first papers man
in regard to military service. The
man with first papers is in no way a
citizen but as I said before there IS
no wav in which a man can be forced
IN return to his native land for such
service.
"ITnder our constitution the unwill-
ing man would have to be kidnapped.
A man guilty Of criminal act classed
ne felony may be deported, but no
others.
CAS- a matter of fact citizenship in
this country does not exempt a for
eign born man from military service
that he might have escaped. We have
MANY cases where American citizens
are caught in their native land and
forced to serve.
"The United States has no treaties
with these countries Of compulsory
military service and consequently
the citizenship does not protect them
in such instances
