There has been surprisingly lit tie rain in Europe and even Lon don has only splendid clear days.

 Great fingers of light from the Eiffel tower secured the skies for Zeppelins and one of them hitting the tall building a. ,tross the street, lighted my room in regular throbs and made it hard to sleep.

BRINGS BACK
 DAYS OF NAPOLEON
William G. Shepherd, Staff Cor respondent Of United Press
 Writes From Paris.

Paris, Sept. 28.-(By Mail to New York)-A little man all bundled up in coats drove up this very street one December day a century ago and rushing into a building in this very park tore through the halls, dashed into a certain room and there threw his arms around the Elm press of France. He was Napo- leon, back from Moscow, where the Russians had all but shatter- ed him. Two days later he told France the story and France shuddered at the name of Rus sia.
 But today when I saw this street, France was thrilling with hope at the thought that some where, in the fog of war, hugh Cossacks from Moscow itself, perhaps, were coming by land or by sea, with their wild horses, to save this street and palace and the great art galleries and Paris and France itself from the Germans.
 The street was almost desert led. The great Tuillris lay in the golden autumn sunshine as empty and silent as if they had been farms in Iowa, after the crop time, instead of the most famous park in the world.
 The Louvre Art Gallery was locked. I don't know whether it's art treasures remain there or not. A soldier at one door told me he didn't know either. The wonderful pieces of marble and painting which Napoleon him. self when master of Europe seiz- ed as he pleased and took off as war booty to his great and pow crful Paris, have been hidden a. way perhaps ere now or will be when the sound of German guns which I heard booming to the northwest this afternoon grows louder.
 Here's the great building, right here; the great Louvre art gal lery. Stand and look at it this September afternoon and then listen to the cannon, not many miles away, and you'll have a thrill you'll never forget. We cross the river. I want to see Napoleon's tomb. We pass great railroad stations that are clos ed; somewhere the steel lines that run out from them have been cut by the Germans and the trains are not running. Here we are at the Invalides, the old soldiers home. I can't go in. I cant even go near the old can- mons, trophies which Napolean Bonaparte brought from the ends of Europe. I wonder if all the tattered flags seized in oth- CT days from other armies by armies of France are still in their glass eases in the Invalides or have they been hidden, ignomin- ously also with the trophies of lart2

Likewise any woman can be

it isn't quite up to her usual ex-

Positively the only thing that
will nail man to his own
hearthstone and make him gem
erous, attentive and interested
lover as well as a husband, is to
find in his own home a brand OF
f1attery so much more potent, so
much higher spiced and so much
more inexhaustible than any to
be had abroad that it puts all
other women into the amateur

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR
BY WILLIAM =. KIRK.

~ AY In, day out. night out night In,
| Where snow is thick and fees are thin,
@ He hustles with his CHEEKY grin
To fight with ills.
The drives are long, the nights are cold,
He suffers hardshps left untold
To call upon some mother old
Across the hills.
Little he says about his pay;
Often he gives his skill away,
And though he's getting bent and gray
He has no wealth.
His life has been an endless trial
His motto has been selfdenial;
Freely he gives from every vial
For some ones health.
The gallant soldier goes away
While fife and drum and bugle play
Bravely to conquer or to Stay
That is his part.
The country doctor rides alone
Through rugged roads, DER stick and stone,
To heal men, not to make them moan;
God hless his heart4

-HE estimate that one VIII pass
on the troops Of men and
Il women with whom, at pres
ent, ballroom gymnastics consti-
stute the sum and substance Of
life will depend on what one con-
siders to be the real nature Of the
delirium.
Even to call 1t delirium may be
a misuse Of terms, for 1t would i'm
ply a degree of mental infatuation
approaching to lunacy, and we
should be averse to supposing that
these stalwart men and beautiful
women are all of them candidates
for the madhouse. Such a posi-
bility cannot be quietly contem-
plated.
A broad view Of the entire situa-
ton leads rather to the conviction
that the phenomenon which we are
now considering is due not so
much to a disordered mind as to
emptiness of mind, SO that what
is now going on Is to be explained
on the familiar principle that ma
ture abhors vacuum, and that
these people are throwing them
selves into these fantastic gambol-
ings in order to satisfy an aching
void.
The object is to get rid of the
emptiness, and when that is the
object 1t does not make 80 much
difference what it is filed in with.
They are in this respect like GER
tain fish that always go through
the water with their mouths open,
everything being grist that comes

Its Purpose Is to Help
Them Until They Can
Stand Alone.

It's purpose is not to take people
up and transplant them bodily, but
to furnish them with a temporary
but reliable staff upon which they
can lean till they are able to stand
down, unsupported, upon their own
feet.
To encourage others to help
themselves is the only kind of as
sistance that we can reasonably be
called to render except In cases of
absolutely helpless poverty. Other
wise every nickel that is bestowed
in charity has only the effect OF
putting premium upon pauperism.
Only those who are frequently
approached by such as think they
have a claim upon our beneflcence
can realize how large is the field
which an enterprise like the one
under consideration can occupy
and cultivate.
1t is easy to say that II man
has the stuff in him he will win out
however adverse the circumstances
In which he is placed, but that IS
not the fact.
The best of seed may lie in the
ground without terminating unless
1t has the encouragement Of a lit
tie warmth and moisture. A
heavily laden train may be moved
with comparative ease after once
the wheels have begun to turn.
It is the start that costs the big
strain.

They're Not Insane; Just

Perhaps.

This acquits our gentlemen and
lady friends OF insanity, even if 1t
does carry with 1t a suggestion of
Intellectual imbecihty. Some per-
haps would prefer one and some
the other. This explanation is sug-
gested by the fact that what we
are now witnessing is nothing new
so far as the essential features of
the case are concerned.
Some years ago it was bicycling.
Then, as now, it was the neither
extremities that were worked in
compensation for the inaction of
the cerebral extremity.
But people are, by the kind prov
idence of God, so constituted as to
be unable for long to forget their
brains, even If they make no prac-
teal use Of them; and so, after a
couple Of years, the bicycles we're
sent to the pawnshop or stored in

Then later on came the epoch

as was recently remarked by a lady
who used to teach bridge whist,

What will come next no one can

voices will conclude that their mis-
taken craving will better be met by
more substantial and creditable
satisfactions.

There are traces, e is true, Of

after the great fire in London. In
