SPY CAUSES DEATH OF 500
Signaed to German Guns, Which De-
stroyed the Church They
Slept In.

London.-How 500 French troops
were betrayed by spy is told in dis
patches from Dunkirk. The French
soldiers were sleeping in a church at
Lampernisse. A spy in some way
gained access to the belfry and dis
played lights which notified the Ger
man artillery of the presence of the
troops.
A bombardment Immediately fol-
lowed, and, the exact range being
known to the enemy, the sleeping
men, before they could make their es-
cape, were cut to pieces by exploding
shells, which also set fire to the
straw ON which they had been lying.

could not help being impressed by the
great change, but somehow they never
were quite satisfied with the new or
der of things.
One day the creditors of the old firm
of Hoffman, Gerhardt & Shultz got
checks in their mail, together with a
note from the junior partner. He re-
called the promise he had made years
before. He was paying, he explained,
not ony his one-third with interest, but
the other two-thirds with interest, for
neither Hoffman nor Gerhardt had
prospered or seemed likely to be able
to pay
1t is thirty-odd years since the firm
of Hoffman, Gerhardt & Shultz failed
and Shultz was so shocked that the
papers paid little attention to the hap
pening. 1t would be different matter
today if Shultz failed, for Shultz'
name is known the world over. His
business has spread until his factory
buildings cover many acres of ground
and his employees are numbered by
the thousands He has farms in the
East, the South, the West, the North
and the middle West to furnish sup
plies for his great kettles. He has a
big glass works in which he makes his
own bottles. The volume of freight
he furnishes to the railroads each year
is immense. He is millionaire many
times over. And he is as plain as an
old shoe. For Mother Shultz, whose
$1,000 was the basis of his fortune,
he shows his respect in a way that is
unique. She has been dead some
years. but her sons Office is a memo
rial to her. The windows and the
partitions are of stained glass, and
on them are the homely proverbs the
good old German woman cheered her
SOL with in the days of darkness and
of struggle.

SINGS TO SOLDIERS
Breton Bard inspires Spirit OF
French Armies.
Under Orders of Minister of War He
Travels From Camp to Camp
Entertaining Men With
Stirring Ballads.

Paris.-The role that the minstrel
Taillefer played at Hastings, that Ro-
land took at Roncevaux and Blondel
filled when he found the imprisoned
Richard Occur de Lion in an Austrian
castle is being played in the present
war by Theodore Botrel, the Breton
poet, who has been sent to the fight
ing line by M. Millerand, the minister
of war, to sing and recite patriotic and
warlike chansons to the French sol
diers, to inspire them to mighty deeds.
For the last month or more the
picturesque Breton singer, with his
sleek hair, his wide hat brim, his
flying ribbon and voluminous velvet
breaches, looking for all the world like
the painted figure on a piece of Breton
pottery, has been travelling, staff in
hand, from camp to camp, entertaining
the fighting men of France with stir
ring ballads. BotrePs work smacks
of ancient warfare and it's customs
more even than the breastplates,
hand grenades and spears which have
proved their value on several occa-
sions.
The soldiers are gathered together
in a big hall, an impromptu and gener-
ally insecure platform is rugged up
and Botrel stands forth to recite his
songs, some in the Breton dialect,
others in French, but all touched with
the lyric flame that carries simple
words and simple thoughts straight
to the hearts of the hearers.
Botrel's inspiration is not of the
face to face with the troops who are
bearing themselves so CALAMITY in the
east, he has found again the fire of his
earlier days and the flame Of patriot
ism burns bright and strong in these
metrical chants which he utters with
a touching simplicity and childlike
earnestness.
The war bard is filling useful role;
he helps to promote cheerfulness and
optimism, and does much to relieve
the monotony of life in a fort. He
cannot complain of monotony. Since
August 80, when he set forth on this
novel mission to defensive army
Botrel has seldom slept in a bed and
perhaps never twice in the same place.
But as he himself remarks, he fares
no worse than the soldiers to whom
he is sent, and he travels and tramps
as best he can, arriving always in
good spirits, and exuding cheerfulness
at every pore, however weary he may
be.
He is adored wherever he passes
naturally, and indefatigably he travels
on. Goodnight here; good-morrow
there.
1t sounds strange, the presence of
this middle aged bard with the fight
ing forces of the land, in the fortresses
and garrisons of a modern fighting
machine. Yet a singer of patriotic
songs could nowhere get better inspi-
ration than with the colors, and one
almost wonders that poet laureate is
not always to be found in camp, as
near as possible to the place where
the battle may be raging.

out speculatively got q aumber OF or
ders. His territory was extended, and
then another travelling man was put
on the road. Their success proved
embarrassing. Shultz had to enlarge
his little factory and employ more
hands. That part was simple, but it
was not so easy to obtain supplies.
The farmers Shultz had been patroniz-
ing could furnish SO much and no
more Making purchases in distant
cities was not always satisfactory.
Sometimes the fruits or vegetables
were not in condition, and the addi-
tional freight charges cut into the
profits. To protect himself Shultz first
rented farm or two and devoted all
the land to the supplies he needed.
Later he bought these farms and 9TH
ers.
Success had it's own perils and hand
leaps. Shultz came near being ruined
through the rapidity with which his
business increased, once ii really be-
gan to expand in earnest. Hardly
would he complete one addition to his
factory when another would be need
ed 1t costs money to build and it
takes years to get it back. The inter
ruptions and the changes consequent
upon interminable rebuilding or ex-
tending of factory affect the econom-
ical operation of a plant and the eff
cheney of the organization. Shultz
would have been pleased to take a
breathing spell, but competitors,
aroused by his growth, were aggres-
sive. He had to go on or he would
lose the trade he had been spending
good money to gain. And to go on
he had to do some elaborate financing
that entai1ed the borrowing of sum
that would have seemed staggering
to him few years before.
Women Able to Retire.
With the expanding of the factory,
Mother Shultz and his wife no longer
worked at the kettles or acted as SUI
perintendents. Occasionally they
came in and looked about at the hun
dreds of men and women who had re-
placed them. Possibly the new house
Shultz built for them was not all their
hearts desired, for they loved to lin
ger about the great watts and caldrons
that had taken the place of the small
vessels they had employed. They

went to printer and had heart-to-
heart talk with him. AS a result,
he got credit for some advertising
matter that was sent into many homes.
He watched the store sales carefully,
to note the effect 1t was gratifying.
A little later, when he made some good
collections, he did daring thing. He
spent all his ready money in display
advertising in the home papers. In
each advertisement he told where his
goods were for sale, and he was not
stingy in the amount of black type he
gave to the retailers. The grocers
We're pleased with this, and some Of
them went out OF their way to push
his product.
When the year closed Shultz had to
do some hard scratching to meet his
bills with the baker, the butcher, the
landlord, the drygoods man and the
others who had trusted him, but he
was able to pay every cent The wom-
en- were hard-pushed to make up all
the stuff for which he had orders, so
as soon as he could with safety he en-
gagged two girls to help them. He had
been compelled to pay cash for all
his supplies and make trips into the
country TO buy his fruits and vegeta-
bles. AS his orders became larger the
farmers took confidence and were sat-
isfied with monthly payments. Before
the second year closed his business
outgrew his home He had to rent a
little building and hire more hands.
His wife and mother supervised the
factory. They were scrupulously neat,
and so intensely jealous of the good
name the preser es had won that they
had no hesitation in throwing away
anything that was not perfect. They
inspected every jar before it was sent
c,.u, and watched over the kettles with
q care that was remarkable.
Extended His Territory.
Some one suggested 70 Shultz that
there was a market outside the city
for his goods. He had been thinking
so himself. A bright young man sent
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1914-12-25

the vegetables according to the time
honored recipes. Shultz looked after
putting the stuff into the jars. He had
very attractive labels printed. He
had his own ideas about advertising.
He put his name in large letters on
his labels and brought out prominent
ly the fact that the preserves were
homemade, were of the purest OF
goods and prepared with the greatest
of care. When he had pretty fair
stock on hand he went out through
the town TO sell them. Some he placed
in grocery stores, the grocers taking
them without any risk to themselves.
They were only to pay when they made
sales. After he lad made fair dis
tribution through the grocers he went
from house to house. 1t was slow, te-
dious and dispiriting work. Many a
time he had the door slammed in his
face. Occasionally he had dog
sicked on him.
Once in a while he made sale.
Many night he returned home utter
ly worn out from carrying his samples
mile after mile through the city
streets. Sometimes people bought
from him and promised to pay at the
end of the week, and when he went
for his money he was put off with
some excuse or laughed at for his
folly. He made lots of mistakes and
once or twice lost heart, but his moth
er never did Shultz and the two wom-
en- discussed affairs every night and
planned the program for the next day.
The women never complained, no mat
ter how many hours they put in over
the pots or how tired and worn they
were from the days labor. The old
woman was philosopher. For every
situation she had a homely proverb.
Nine times out of ten it was cheer

Sales Began to Grow
Shultz kept books as carefully as
if he were doing large business. For
the first four months there was
loss. The bad debts he had made
more than overbalanced the small
profit that should have been his. Two
months later there was little to the
credit side of the ledger. The sales
in the stores began to pick up, for
some people began to see virtue in

There, at all events, the French
forces have theirs. Botrel has set the
example. There are many poets serv-
ing with the colors, of course; poetry
does not exempt a Frenchman from
his military services. and some of
them find time occasionally to send
a sonnet or a strophe home from the
trenches.
Only Botrel has gone cut with the
bard's mission, and he is earning his
medal in his way. When the war is
over, and the country has time to
think of recompenses, and prizes, and
medals, the French academy will per-
haps award one to the Breton Bard.
