ser Venus ran ashore in the storm to-
day, striking with her full force.

bridge was carried away by an enor-
nous sea. The warship was run

Figuring on Casualties,

Paris, Dec. 7.-Thc French war
Office does not issue lists of war cas-
ualtics. \ correspondent. by inquiry
in various quarters, estimates the
French dead up to November 10 at
something over 100000 men. The
number of wounded and sick being
cared for in French hospitals NOvem-
bcr - appears TO have been about
100000. The Swiss governments
bureau for the exchange of prison.
ers has the names Of 10000 French
prisoners III Germany. These fig
ures added put the total losses Of
the French army at about 10000
men.
The French estimate the number
OF Germans Killed in battle on this
frontier as considerably exceeding
100000 because OF German tactics
having been more continually on the
offensive.
The French military administra-
ton does not share in the popular
view that the German losses have
been enormously in excess Of those
OF the French. Neither is credcnce
given TO reports Of bad provisioning
OF the German army and of soldiers
famished and driven by overwOrk to
exhaustion. French commanders
find German prisoners defiant and
confident, and there is no indication
of starvation except where troops
nave been cut off from the main
bodies.

have interviewed some of these people.
and they tell me that no matter how
trying or how exasperating their work
or how vexatious OF annoying the cOndi-
tons may be about them. when they get
bit of leisure they can instantly lift
themselves out of their troubles into a
harmonious and blissful mental condi-
ton which nothing material can touch
or mar. They have so educated their
imagtnations that they can create new
places, new worlds, people them, and live
in them.
How few of Us realize what a great
gift We have in the imagination-that
ability to fly away at will from our
harassing, embarrassing. poverty-stricken
surroundings. from things which discour-
age, disgust. and annoy: away from
grasping. grinding. sickenfng drudgery;
away from our poverty. our worries and
anxieties, and our physical ills. into a
paradise Of joy. an ideal world, where
harmony and beauty and truth reign.
The great mass Of people do not ex-
tract 10 per cent Of the happiness possi-
bic in their everyday life. largely because
they were never trained to think OF the
normal sources Of enjoyment. Their
minds are blank. except for the little
grooves which their daily routine has
stamped in their brain tissue. They are
as ignorant OF their possible mental re-
sources as the early Indians were of the
natural resources of this continent when
the Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock
One OF the great secrets Of those who
surprise everybody by the enormous
amount Of work they accomplish Is their
ability to take frequent mental recesses,
or little vacations, their ability to shut
all the doors through which little vexa-
tionS and worries enter the mind, and
watt themselves on on little excursions in
the Imagination, recalling the pleasant
memories and reliving the scenes which
have once made them happy.

Back to Master.

Sterling. Colo, Nov. ga. A. Smith, Of
Sterling, received a telegram declaring
that dog for which he had conducted a
wide search after losing the animal in

friends. The dog, a Scotch collie, made
his way on foot from Denver to the Ida

from Idaho July 16. He was placed in a
baggage car and fastened with a collar
and chain. The dog was on the train
when 1t reached Denver. Smith went to
the baggage car to claim the dog. He
and the baggageman were astounded to
find the dog missing. The collar, securely
fastened to the chain, remained to tell In
what manner he had made his escape.
Smith spent four days In Denver hunt
ing for the dog and advertised extensively
In the newspapers. He finally gave up
hope OF ever hearing of the animal again.

the deg at Americanl Falls Informed
Smith that the dog had Just arrived there
