She Had the Last Word.-A country
doctor in the north of Ireland, a
bachelor, locally noted for his brusque-
ness and irascibility, was driving
along a narrow lane, when his passage
was effectually barred by an old wo-
man who was returning from the bog,
leading an ass. whose panniers were
filled with peat, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. The woman led the ass to
the side of the lane as quickly as she
could. but not quick enough to please
the short-tempered doctor
"Faugh," he exclaimed, women and
asses are always in the way"
I'm glad We have the manners to
put yours last" said the woman calm
ly. The doctor drove on without fur
ther comment.

PRODUCER TO CONSUMER.
Eighty Farmers Want to Feed Den
verites Through Parcels Post.

Denver-The first step of the Den
yer postoffice toward putting into ac-
tual use the proposed parcel post serv-
ice for delivering produce from farm
ers to city consumers was taken
when Postmaster Charles Trodder
sent to Denver housewives a list con-
tanning the names of eighty farmers
who are willing to ship their goods
direct, thus eliminating the profit OF
the middleman.
The majority of the farmers on the
list are in Colorado. But few are in
Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming.
Their produce includes vegetables Of
all kinds. fruits. poultry. butter, eggs
and meat.
All the farmers are within the local
first and second zones of the parcel
post rating system. This means the
rate for transportation will cost 5
cents for the first pound and 1 cent
for each additional two-pounds or
fraction thereof, etc.

London.-Field Marshal Earl Rob
erts died in France from pneumonia.
A telegram from Field Marshal Sir
John French, commander of the Brit
ish expeditionary forces on the Con-
tinent, apprised Earl Kitchener, secre-
tary of state for war, of the death of
England's great soldier. The telegram
read:
Il deeply regret to tell you that Lord
Roberts died at o'clock this (Satur-
day. evening"
Field Marshal Roberts, who was
colonel-in-chief of the Indian troops,
had gone to France to give them his
greeting.
Soon after his arrival he became se-
riously i'll. He suffered from severe
chill Thursday and pneumonia rapidly
developed. His great age, eighty-two
years, initiated against his recovery,
quickly.
The news of the death of Lord Rob-
erts came as an entire surprise to Eng
land. The veterans devotion to the
interests of his army, his hard work in
this connection and his seeming good
health had been the subject of COM
ment since the beginning of the war.
He was the most popular military fig
ure In Great Britain and national
hero without rival in the affections of
the people.
Despite his years. he had never
ceased hard work since his nominal re-
tirement, and, as he had often re-
marked. he lived rigidly abstemious
life that he might preserve his strength
for the service of his country.
During the last five or six years,
when the German war cloud had been
growing. he prosecuted an active CAM
paign to persuade the nation to adopt
a compulsory military service.
Field Marshal Roberts worked day
and night for the welfare of the sol
diers from the outbreak of the war. He
took the greatest interest in the Indi-
ans and issued an appeal for funds for
their wounded and sick.
The government, it is expected, will
offer a tomb in Westminster Abbey or
st. Pauls, for the empires foremost
soldier.
Roberts of Kandahar. Pretoria and
Waterford" as Field Marshal Lord
Frederick Sleigh Roberts was known,
sums up briefly the career of the noted
soldier whose death has plunged the
empire into mourning.
Scion of a noble Irish family, Lord
Roberts was born in 1892 in Cawnpore,
India, where his father, General Sir
Abraham Roberts, was serving.
1t was in the Indian service that the
gallant and efficient Irish soldier
achieved his first and lasting fame. 1t
was in South Africa. in his later years,
that this was supplemented and magni-
fled by his achievements In Great Brit
aims victorious campaign against the
Beers.
But, IL 1t was as field marshal and
earl that Lord Roberts was formally
known, 1t was as "Bobs" that the men
of the ranks knew him, loved him and
greeted him. In their estimation, and
in that Of the admiring public. which
appreciated and applauded his gallant
services for his country. no name
could fit him better than this diminu-
tive of his family name-and a word
meaning "hero" in Hindu.

Each side expresses satisfaction with
the progress of the war in France. Ber-

have been repulsed, and that their
own attack is making headway: while
In London and in Paris 1t is felt that

their position is a strong one.
In France, from the northwest to
the southeast, there have been engage

according to the French report, Cen
eral Joffre's armies have succeeded in
gaining ground and Strengthening
their positions. The Germans con-
tinue to destroy bridges and railways
in Belgium, but with what object re-

they are taking every step to prevent
their plans from becoming known to
their enemies. .-..

Much interest is shown in the finan-
cling of the war. 1t is understood that
the government intends to issue war
loan of l billion dollars or more, prob
ably at per cent and redeemable
within ten years. 1t is estimated that
Great Britain is spending So million
dollars weekly on the war and, in ad-
dition to the war loan, the govern
ment may propose to raise a further
25 million dollars by increasing the
income tax to half n crown on the
pound.
