Poor Bnt Inst.

In one sense of the word he was
very poor. In another sense he was
not, for he had cousin who drew a
big salary as manager of q football
club. A few days ago he he called on
him.
Jack he said, with a convincing
catch in his throat, "can you give
something to help me? 1 have Just
spent my last penny" He always
made point of spending his last
penny before going to Sc his cousin.
The affluent relative smiled, unex-
pectedly.
why, certainly, John! As a mat
ter of fact, 1 was just going to pay a
fellow two shillings to mark out the
ground for next Saturdays cup-tie
match. But if you care to take it on,
and you're a relation, Ill pay you five

Thanks awfully, Jack; but though
I'm poor, / should not like to rob an
other man Of his job. So pay me the
extra three shillings and let him mark
the ground for two bob as agreed

With His Help Everything Was
Broken Including Fourth Com
mandment.

Thaddeus Stevens, slavery's most
fiery enemy, though at times he
could dominate his party, could not
always control his tongue.
While in Congress he had, as cook,
an old Southern negro nanny
who, alone OF all the household, stood
not in awe Of the great statesman.
Like all her race, she was devoutly
religious, and, though she worshiped
her employer for his Jealous efforts
On behalf Of her people, she never
failed to take him to task for his in
temperate language.
One day she accidentally let fall a
trayfull Of dishes Stevens, hearing
the crash Of chinaware, lost his tenn
per and his tongue.
What's oil that you're breaking in
there?" he asked, angrily, adding
many additional words that shocked
the aged nanny" Coming to the
door, she looked the angry man
squarely in the eyes, and shot at
him:

Saturday, George Elton told Captain
OF Detectives Schegler that he was
driven to the desperate act for an ex-
cuse for being without money when
he returned home.
Elton had told his family that he
had obtained a position with a mo
rocco company, but when Saturday ar
rived he had no money to give his
wife because he had not been work
ing. II was then that he decided to
become victim OF highwaymen."

LONDON AMAZED
AT TURN IN TIDE
Streets Crowded, Men Embrace
ing Each Other and Women
Crying at News from France.
u, the Associated Press.

LONDON. Sept. H.-Dispatches
from Paris and Bordeaux to the Lon
dan newspapers describe scenes of en-
thusiasm mingled with the thankful
ness of the populace, at the news of
the German retreat.
The streets, the dispatches say, are
full of people, all too overjoyed to eX-
press emotion by noise or singing, but
men are seen embracing each other
with fervor while women gave vent
to their feelings by crying quietly.
Everybody is amazed at the unex-
pected change in the tide of war and
the fullest credit is given General
Pau, who is regarded as having, by
prompt and decided strategy, changed
the face of the campaign.
Everybody is asking what the Ger
mans will now do, whether they will
be able to reform their forces and
make a stand, and what will become
of the crown princes army, tangled
up In the wooded Argonne region.
1t is understood that the factor
which brought about the changes in
the fortunes of war was the new
army which General Pau formed
quickly and quietly at Versailles, com
posed of some of the best troops from
the eastern frontier, and "a fine body
of cavalry. This army marched
through Paris northWard and then
turned northeast Its effect was felt
at once.

BRITISH AFRICAN
POLICY IS TESTED
German East Africa Stands i'm
Way of Cairo to Cape
Project.
by the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1i.-Reports
of figh ting between the British and
German forces in Central Africa is re-
garded in diplomatic quarters here as
having significance far beyond that
of local struggle in that savage and
remote quarter. II is looked upon as
final test of the two rival policies =
the German plan of establishing her
IGost extensive colony in East Africa
and the British policy of linking to-
gether her vast territory in southern
Africa. extending from Cape Colony,
through Rhodesia, up to Lake Tan
ganyika, and her equally large pos
sessions in northern Africa. extend
ing from Egypt. through the Soudan,
Gown to British East Africa.
These British possessions. in the
north and the south, stretch almost
continuously for five thousand miles.
giving the hope of realizing Cecil
Rhodes's dream of continuous
Cairo to the Cape" route. entirely
under British authority. This stretch
is now interrupted at only one point,
where for two hundred miles German
East Africa projects an arm straight
across the chain of British possess
sions extending from the north to the
south.
The British have succeeded in get
ting around this gap, first by cross
ing Belgian territory under treaty
which was finally abrogated through
Germany's protest, and. second, by
adopting Lake Tanganyika as Il
water route, connecting the other
portions Of the route by rail and
river.
One of the reports from Blanquire,
in British Central Africa, tells of the
taking of the German station. at
L,angenburg, at the head of Lake
Nyassa, in German East Africa. This
is the section Immediately at issue,
and which forms the link between
the British possessions of North and
South Africa. 1t lies just south of
the British possessions in Uganda,
and should it's control pass to the
British 1t would complete their con-
tinuous chain from the northermost
point of Africa to the southermost
point of Cape Colony.
