SCORED ONE ON THE HOTEL
Simeon Ford Tells How He Once En-.
tertained Guest With Lively
Sense of Humor.

Simeon Ford, who accomplished the
extraordinary feat of running the
Grand Union Hotel and being a
humorist of nationwide reputation at
the same time, and, now that the
hotel is defunct, is presumably turn
ing his whole attention to the con.
vulsing of dinner guests over their
coffee, expressed himself with much
modesty in reply to a question Of the
Boston Herald.
Il never tell stories" wrote he, NOR
can I remember them" That looked
damaging. But presently Mr.. Ford
frightened up amazingly and finished
his communication in this way:
Here is a bit Of humor, however,
and a true hotel happening:
Our steward lad printed on the
bills of fare the following notice:
CAN articles brought into the hotel
and used at the table will be charged
for as though furnished by the house,
Some one mailed me one of these
bills and under the notice he had
written:

play lost a diamond necklace, relates
a veteran actor. She searched care
fully for it everywhere, but with no
success, and was on the verge of col

pany found the necklace and took it
to her. She received it with great
Joy and instantly offered him a re-
ward of $50, which he politely de-
cltned. The actress insisted, however,
that he accept some sort Of reward.
WELL" he answered very modestly,
since you press me, l should consider
a kiss an ample reward"
Needless to say he was paid in full.

SOME POINT IN OBJECTION
Chunky Applicant for Army Service,
Rejected, Had Proved Superior
ity Over Accepted Man.

Gen. Arthur Murray said at a din.
ner in San Francisco, apropos of the
height Of soldiers:
THE British army has raised the
height limit for volunteers to five feet
five. Short Britishers object to this
and with reason.
For consider the japanese. They
are Incompatible soldiers. Yet the
five feet five limit would bar most
of them out.
Consider the Gurkhas, the Hill
Tribe soldiers of India. They are as
valiant as the Japs, yet their height
runs from four feet eleven to five
feet four.

stations, just after the establishment
Of the new rule, a short and chunky

Les Annales, is said to have been told
by an officer Of the British embassy at
Paris. One morning, when the officer

HORROR AND COST OF WAR
Judge Ebert H.. Gary Tells Of Con.
ditions as He Saw Them in the
Wake Of Armies,

On Sunday, August 80, in company
with another, | rode by motor car
ABOUT two hundred miles in a semi
circle on the north and east Of Paris,
gong within ten or fifteen miles Of
the line of battle, but taking good
care, OF course, to keep beyond the
limits Of danger. I was forcibly I'M
pressed first with the horrors Of war
and. secondly with its enormous cost.
| saw everything pertaining to war
except actual fighting; large numbers
OF re-enforcements going to the front
and many wounded returning to hos
pitals; troops Of all kinds, and anna
ment, ammunition, supplies, facilities
Of every kind for %offense and defense;
engineer corps, aeroplane corps, etc.
Thousands of refugees were fleeing
from their homes to places Of sup
posed safety.
The next day much of the territory
traversed was occupied by the forces
engaged in deadly conflict. The in
struments of destruction, the methods
OF using them and the facilities for
moving armies have greatly changed,
and therefore as the destruction OF
life will be SO large and rapid 1t
would seem as though the war must
necessarily be sooner ended than in
times and under different con.
ditions. l saw temporary hospitals in

GEMS OF OLD WORLD
FRENCH cATHEDRALS MARVELS
OF ARCHITECTURAL ART.
Rich In Historic Interest, and OF Sur
passing Beauty, Their Damage IN
Present War Is Matter for
Keen Regret.

Reims cathedral, partly destroyed
during the recent bombardment, was
regarded as the Westminster ABBEY
of France. On its site, according TO
legend, Clovis was baptized in the
fifth century, and there Joan of Arc
saw the conservation Of Charles VII.
There also, the kings Of France were
crowned and anointed.
Two of the chief features or the
cathedral, which dates back TO I'LL,
We're the most famous rose window
of the world, almost forty feet in d.
ameter, and the $50 statues adjoining
the portals and facades, including AZ
colossal statues of French kings.
Near the north portal was one OF the
masterpieces Of Gothic sculpture, rep
~resenting the Last Judgment with
a figure of Christ in the attitude OF
benediction.
The interior was world-renowned
for It's exquisite stained glass, it's six
te%enth-century tapestries and great
organ, one of the finest in Europe.
Although not quite SO rich in his
toriAl interest, the cathedral OF Notre
Dame In Paris is more ancient than
that of Relms, the main building hav-
Ing been begun in the twelfth CEN
fury. 1t is said that if the pillars OF
Notre Dame could speak they might
tell the whole history of France. The
only coronation celebrated there was
that of Henry VI of England in 1431.
Perhaps the finest feature of Notre
Dame in Paris is the Sainte Chapelle,
built by St. Louis in 1245.8 for the re-
ception of the various relics which he
brought from the Holy Land. This
chapel is perhaps the greatest exist
Ing masterpiece of Gothic art.
Amiens cathedral is another OF
Frances thirteenth century churches
to which the world pays visits. This
was the church which Ruskin and
other people have described as the
finest existing medieval structure"
Its Incompatible facade. galleries
filled with the statues of kings, it's
superb windows and tapestries, and
above all it's beautiful choir-stalls and
make the Amiens cathedral
Incompatible in many respects.
OF special historical interest to the
English is the cathedral of Rouen, for
1t was there that the heart of Richard
Occur de Lion wag buried prior to it's
being removed to the Museum of An.
Equities. Another interesting fact re-
garding the Rouen cathedral is that
the notable south tower was built at
the end of the fifteenth century with
what was termed Indulgence money,
received by the church for permission
to eat butter during Lent.
The glorious cathedral of Charities,
built chiefly between 1894 and 1860,
Is noted for its solidity as we'll as
n of its two spires being
generally regarded as the most beau
tlful on the continent. Like most 9TH
or famous French cathedrals, it has
some magnificent windows.
