THE PARIS GIRLS THEY
LEAVE BEHIND THEM

PARIS, Aug. 21.-The women
are admirable, and e sometimes
they cannot restrain their emo
ton. they often display super
human courage.
AS one train moved out, two
girls who had bravely kissed
farewell to q departing man
turned away, and one began to
cry, but the other said: Keep
up a little longer, he can still see
u.s."
Another carried a baby. and as
her man leaned out of the win
dow and the train started she
threw IL into his arms, crying:
Leave It with the station master
at x, and | will fetch IT; you
must have IL for another few
minutes"

one point we were annoyed so much
by battery of horse artillery that
kept coming too close that the men
were obviously getting tired of it, and
at last we got the order to go for
them. We crept up slowly to where
the battery was posted, and when
within a few hundred feet we sprang
to our feet with yell and swept
down on the Germans before they had
time to look around. They couldn't
stand it and fed, leaving their guns
behind them. Later, the enemy be-

and so we fell back, after destroying
the guns as best we could.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Modern war
machinery especially the tremendous
long range of the guns, makes fight
ing nerve racking, according to the
wounded back from France, because
the soldiers, for the most part, can,
not see the enemy.
Among the last contingent of
wounded arriving in London is a
lance corporal of the Connaught rang
ers, who gave the following personal
impression of the fighting:
The disconcerting thing in battle
nowadays is that you may be fighting
for hours on end and never as much
as see an enemy to grapple with. We
lay for ten hours in the trenches last
Saturday, with rifle fire dropping
around US like rain drops in a heavy
shower.
"The roar of the guns was always
there like the thunder you hear in a
big storm, and you could see one long
line of little white puffs of smoke
away in the horizon every time the
Germans fired. Beyond that, you
couldn't see anything, and it was only
an odd sting in the arm or leg or
head from bullet that made you re.
alize that you were in battle.
"It is a big test Of mems irmness
for soldering if they can put up with
that for a whole day without losing
their nerve. We had been fighting
for three whole days before we set
eyes on a German, though we were
under fire all the time. After that
we saw them more frequently at
close quarters, and then we had plen.
ty of hand to hand fighting.

Fathers and Sons.

Every now and then there is a report
in the newspapers OF a father disinherit-
ing his son. Just recently there hap
pened 10 have been several such cases
rather prominently before the public.
AS rule it requires only little investi-
CATION into the circumstances to find that
the reason most often at the bottom Of
the disagreement between father and son
Is some ethical or tempermental trait
common to both generations.
This has been the story of fathers and
sons from the very beginning. Like NAV
cure like in some cases of disease, but in
the moral order OF things, hkenesses of
character are very often the fruitful
source of the bitterest dsagreements.

such incidents at least, are as frequent
now as at any time.

Abbattoir Company to Go Out of

The Frederick Abattoir Company, op.
Grating the plant of the Frederick CITY
Abattoir Company for the past year un-
der year lease, with the option of
purchase. has thrown up its lease and is
nov selling out its produce. The high
cost of cattle is claimed to be the chief
neason for the present company closing
out its business and throwing up its con.
tract of lease. Although it is not def
nltely known. it is believed that the
Frederick CITY Abattoir Company, the
incorporators Of the plant, will operate
The plant.
More than year ago, on June 10th,
1913, the Frederick Abattoir Company
leased the plant and the equipment of
the Frederick City Abattoir Company for
one year. The contract provided that
the company could continue its lease or
purchase the plant for certain fixed
price. When the contract expired, the
company leased the plant for an indefi-
mite period. and now it can close out at
the end of anv month. 1t is not known
when the present company will shut
down business. This depends entirely
upon the time consumed in disposing of
the produce now on hand.

LIKE A HARBoR OF SAFETY
Man Who Reaches the Age of Thirty
May Congratulate Himself on
Many Things.

A medical lecturer recently declared
that in many ways thirty is the critical
age in the average mans life. Once
you reach thirty you have outgrown
many serious diseases On the 9TH
er hand, you become liable to many
others that seldom or never attack
people in the teens or twenties.
Anemia, for Instance, is practically
unknown after thirty. If you have not
had it by then you never will If you
have, you viii have outgrown it at
thirty or so. Acne, too-that spotti-
ness Of complexion so common among
young people, is certain to have van
ished by then.
Thirty, too, sees you out of the
reach Of the gravest of all diseases,
consumption. If you have shown no
sign of it by then in all probability
you never will. If you have hitherto
escaped rheumatic fever, too, you are
fairly safe from it for life. Epilepsy
and goiter, too, never make their first
attacks on anyone who has reached
thirty.

Humbling the Indian.

To what depths of humiliation and SELF

to the officer whose trousers were al

labor units for the twenty one operations.
while second crop of potatoes requires

units for twenty.three operations. A
crop OF wheat requires one man labor
unit and IL horse labor units for the
nine operations. Corn requires 4.33 man
labor units and 5.36 horse labor units
for the nineteen operations. Clover for

THAT American business was forced

THAT American business was forced
to trim ship during the pendancy ,f the
Wilson revision Of business laws has
been proved to be an exceedingly
healthy thing. The United States nee
essarily became involved in the financial
arrangement which accompanied the
outbreak of the European conflict; and
it is clear that we will not be able to re-
ly upon European capital for domestic
enterprises for a long time to come.
Hence, as many financial journals are
now saying, that it is most fortunate
that for many months prior to that time
American business had been adjusting
itself to the absence of foreign capital.

ALL HAD TROUBLE WITH LAW
chaucer, Bunyan, Dante, and Shake
speare Among Great Writers Who
Suffered Persecution.

The first great figure of modern
English literature, Godfrey Chaucer,
remarks a writer in Case and Com
ment, the lawyers magazine, was
bounded from pillar to post by his
creditors. So persistent were they that
the king of England in response to
petition took Chaucer under his spe.
cial protection and forbade that he
should be arrested or sued by any
body except on a plea connected with
land for two years.
The imperishable allegory on which
Bunyan's claim to Immortality chiefly
rests, Pilgrims Progress" was at
least conceived in Jail, and probably

the first among religious writers in
