are seen in all the streets and roads
and about the farms and diaries,

other tasks which in other countries
are allotted to horses. One of these
animals, when harnessed TO a cart,

 France needed a general housekeeper and Mile. Marie Galtier has been ap-' pointed to the office. She is officially designated as the "Inspectrce Gen. erale au Ministere de rInterieur." Mile. Galtier is not a suffrag gist, nor is she even a feminist. She has simply re- ceiVed her present appointment as the continuation of a series of favorable circumstances. A few years ago, when the profession of the bar was seen to be open to lady candidates, Mile. Marie Galtier studied for the bar, and was in due time admitted. She gave evil dence of intelligent judgment and a very methodical spirit, and when M. Raymond Poincare, who was then con lining his activity chiefly to the prac- tice of the law, looked for an assis tant, Mile Galtier was recommended to him. He accepted her, and she became a regular and very useful col lahnrator in his study.
 When M. Poincare became prime minister she continued to transact a good deal of his current business, and it was only when he became president of the republic that her occupation was gone, for M. Poincare naturally had to give up his practice entirely.
 Mile Galtier's talents were not long allowed to remain idle. This morn ing it is announced that she has been appointed to the important position of "Inspectress General at the ministry

Another Powerful Appeal Has Been Made by NJ. Maurice Barres for the Preservation of the An cient Edificcs of France
tBy A. w. L'Amoureux)

PARIS, April 4-M. Maurice Rarras has made another powerful appeaI at the Universite des Annalcs for the nra- serVatlon of the old church edifices of France. Of the SO,00O churches of france. he said. only 2,O0O were classed as historical monuments and m DO per cent of the places where me edlflce was the property of the commune absolute callousness and indifference were shown to it's con- dltion. Even if private individuals came to the rescue difficulties were placed in their way.
 Quite apart from the religious point of view, this state of affairs were on historical, moral, and artis- tie grounds deeply to be deplored. Historically, because the civilization of the villages had always been grouped round the churches: artis- tically, because the old church build ings presented an unbroken record of French art and architecture from their beginnings; morally, and most important of all, because every one was anxious that each human being should develop his own faculties. and although the school could do this to great extent, the demand could best be satisfied by a national reli- zion. Even the most advanced free thinkers-M. Barres instanced John Stuart Mill-hadsome religious as- pirations.

Wharton Jones. New York Dramatist
The high school orchestra has ar
ranged for the Jones-Donahue Concert
company to stop over here and give a
recital at the high school auditorium
tomorrow evening at O'Clock.
Wharton Jones is a dramatic artist
whose representations and character
sketches have proven exceedingly
popular everywhere given. Before GO
ing actively into high class concert
work, Mr.. Jones occupied the chairs
OF oratory in the Kentucky university
and the William Jewel college, where
many of the leading orators of this
day were under his training, either at
regular sessions or the special oratory
meetings during each summer. which
drew special students from all over
/ the United States.
During the time when Mr.. Jones was
president of the Speaking Arts college
in Denver. he conceived the idea of an
evening of story and music that would
prove not only entertaining to old and
young, but be of great educational
value in bringing to community
some of the things which ordinarily il
Is necessary to go to New York or
ABROAD 10 near.
His repertoire includes folklore
stories, Uncle Remus anecdotes,
stories of college life, classical. histor.
ical and bible stories. romances and
fairy tales. The character of his work
and the spirit in which given makes a
lasting impression on all who hear
him. Mr.. Jones is always glad to lend
a helping hand to colleges and schools,
whenever like the present. he has an
open date Last week he gave an
evening to Hedding college at Abing-
don. and the week previous he gave
his rest day" to the high school at
Quincy, Ill, where he happened to be
stopping over.
feature of the evening will be sew
eral piano solos by Pauline Donahue,
the brilliant young pianist.
The high school orchestra which is
bringing these celebrated artists here
is vitality interested in developing in
this community an appreciation for
higher grade of music and platform
entertainment. They were fortunate
in being given an open date which
Mr.. Jones company has. and they in
turn decided to open the doors to the
public for this event rather than have
merely a school recital
In addition to the piano solos. Miss
