INDUCED SELF TOO MUCH
How DR.. S. Weir Mitchell Was Grave
Iy Reproved by the Late
John BigeIow.

The late John Bigelow, the patri-
arch of diplomats and authors, and
the no less distinguished physician
and author, DR.. S. Weir Mitchell,
were together, several years ago, at
West Point. DR.. Bigelow was then
ninety-two and DIR. Mitchell eighty.
+. The conversation turned to the
subject of age. "I attribute my
many years." said DIR. Bigelow, ito
the fact that / have been most abste-
mious. I have eaten sparingly, and
have not used tobacco, and have TAX
en- little exercise"
at is just the reverse in my case"
explained DIR. Mitchell. 81 have
eaten just as much as | wished, if l
could get it; / have always used to-
bacco, immoderately at times and l
have always taken great deal of ex-
ercise."
With that, Ninety-two years shook
his head at Eighty Years and said,
''Well, you will never live to be an
old man."

The Germans and the French
British allies are wearing one an

the general engagement, known
as the battle of the Aisne, which
has proceeded in northern France
since September u More than
million men on side are fight
ing, and the losses in killed and
wounded during the first eight
days is officially estimated at
100000.
Fighting has been fiercest, dur
ing the whole course of the. bat
tie, along the river Aisne and in
the low foothills of the Ardennes
mountains north, northeast and
northwest of the city of Rheims.
Retreating about eighty miles,
after the rout near Paris and the
disastrous battle of the Marine
river northeast of Paris, the Ger
mans entrenched themselves
along the north bank of the Aisne
and planted their heavy artillery
In the foothills. Thus fortified,
they have withstood the almost
constant assaults of the allies.
Allies Hold Rheims.
Altogether. the battle line is about
100 miles long, extending from the
Disc river, at the city Of Compiegne,
to Verdun, near the Alsatian border.
The city of Rheims, an important
railroad center, is sort of pinion for
the right and left wings of the oppos-
ing armies. The allies hold it after
repeated attempts of their enemy to
capture the town.

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
DeVotees of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter
resort, offers an Irresistible invitation
to artists, since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
its perennial summer, it's blue grotto,
and its lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, a ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge per day, two bottles of
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs.
If any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space. receiving all Ice accommoda-
ton accorded to those paying the high
est price.
IF any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accomm odated-
and shall receive the amount of his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home

London.-The battle of the Aisne
seems to be waiting on the outcome
of the attempt of the allied forces
to outflank the German right wing.
At any rate, the French official re-
port, just issued, while it speaks of
an advance made by the allies left
in the region of the Lassigny and I'M
official reports say that this advance
was one of eighteen kilometers (about
twelve miles,, simply records the re-
pulse of several attacks by the Ger
mans and the fact that elsewhere the
situation remains unchanged. Mill
tary experts, however, warn the pub
lie not to ignore the German efforts
to force the French barrier chain at
it's more assailable points,
1t requires a lot of patience to wait
for the result of this battle, but so
confident are the English and French
that their armies will be successful
that they are not much worried.
Allies Gain II Miles.
Paris.-General Joffre, the COM
mander-in-chief of the French army,
is deyoting much attention to the
western wing on the battle line, where
the fighting has been incessant night
and day. The allies, since the begin
ming of the battle of the Aisne, have
pushed back the Germans nearly
IL miles, forcing them to seek a fur
Their defensive position on the pla-
teaus and in the rough country, with

A Long Movement North.
The headquarters staff has been
enabled to make long movement to-
ward the north. The town of Sois-
sons has been subjected to a furious
German bombardment for nine days.
The cannonading starts each day at
dawn and continues until 8 o'clock in
the morning. 1t then ceases and be-
gins again at 4 o'clock, continuing I'M
til o'clock in the evening.
British Airmen Attack Germany.
London.-Two squadrons of British
naval airmen made a daring raid
from Belgium against the German
Zeppelin airship bases at Dusseldorf
and Cologne. The attack upon Dus-
seldorf was officially reported as hav-
ing been successful. Lieut.. C. H.
Colet dropped three bombs there on
a Zeppelin shed, sweeping down to
within 400 feet of his target.
The attack on Cologne apparently
failed of it's object, as the official an

four bombs fell on the Zeppelin camp
at Bickerdorf and set fire to the
