HARD TIMES TO FIGURE OUT
With Nobody Making Any Money Vaca.
Zionist Could Not Understand
Who Had Got His.

We called on a friend at his office.
Wednesday morning, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. The reason We
called was that he had been on a va
cation, and we wanted to ask him If
he had had a good time and to tell
him how We had missed him. But as
we were ushered in, he didn't look
up from his work. He Just went on
scribbhng, waved US to a chair, and
said:
Now, don't distrust me any more
than you Il help. Call me a liar, but
don't rub it in"
What do you mean?" We asked.
Then he looked up, and said:
ooh! l thought it was my wife.
That's what was going to say to her.
Ill tell you how it is. The summer
hotelkee2ers say they amt making
any money this year. The railroads
say they are running at a loss. Every
public servant is whining about hard
ti~mes-hasu't been able to make a
cent. See? Well, I spent $3.50 in the
last ten days. and I'm trying to figure
out how l could have spent that much
for board and bathing suits"

as Napoleon's Island, we found the
railway station demolished and a line
Of trucks which the French had used
as a barricade. These trucks were
almost shot to pieces, and many were
stained with blood. Outside the sta
ton the roof Of a small restaurant
had been shot away, the windows
smashed, and the furniture destroyed.
Nevertheless, the proprietor had rear
ranged his damaged premises as we'll
as possible and was serving customers
as If nothing had occurred.
Just outside this village there was
a large common grave, in which both
French and German soldiers had been
buried together, in their uniforms. A
large mound marked the site, and
here again the villagers had placed
roughly hewn crosses.
In several villages the schools,
churches, and many cottages are filled
with wounded French and German SOL
diers. Everything is being done to re-
lieve their sufferings.
In the stress Of fighting many
wounded soldiers are left from three
to ten or even twelve hours lying
in the fields or on the route. The am
bulance equipment Of modern armies
appears utterly inadequate. and most
Of the wounded n picked up by vii
layers.
IL saw a French aeroplane coming
from Belfort, accommodating the Ger
man positions behind M%uelhausen. AS
it passed over the German fortified
positions at Isteinkotz there ensued
much firing from machine guns and
rifles. The a%eroplane, which swerved
downward, gave the two occupants a
closer and clearer view of the German
positions and Immediately rose to a
much greater altitude, escaping at
tack.
This aerial reconnaissance, car
ried out In part at an altitude as low
as 1000 feet, was undertaken at great
personal risk, but the aeroplane es.
capped all injury, and returned in the
direction Of Belfort, doubtless with
all the information it set out to COL
lect."

PITIFUL SCENES IN BELGIUM
tants Of LouvaIn Forced to Flee
From Their Homes.

London.-The Chronicles woman
correspondent sends the following dis
patch from Client:
II left Brussels IN a train crowded
with refugees. At the station hun
dreds of grief-stricken men and wom-
en- from Louvain arrived at the mo-
ment the well-to-dc residents were
departing for Client and Ostend.
"One white haired woman, verging
on 80, was led from the entry through
the densely packed streets by a chiv-
alrous boy scout, her worldly posses
sions wrapped in a small bundle.
1T was tragic in the extreme to
hear the refugees asking in trembling
tones If Brussels was safe; dare they
remain in the Belgian capital or would
1t be wise to journey still further
afield?
Most Of them were advised to go to
London. Brussels would probably be
quite safe for a day or two, but after
that who could tell?
early yesterday mOIuluS dI Hou-
vain, I was awakened by the roar Of
cannon. It was obvious that the Ger
mans were close at hand. Tirlemont
was In flames and Louvain might
share a similar fate.
II saw the most awful scenes pos
sible to witness when the people real
lied that they were defenseless and
that there was no alternative but
flight. The civil guards were ordered
to lay down their arms and dress as
ordinary men.
Every one was told to clear out
as rapidly as possible. There was no
confusion or panic, but the sorrow Of
these poor people driven out Of their
homes is indescribable.
Many Of the town folks OF Louvain
had never travelled farther than Brus-
sells, and some had never been out Of
the immediate district. At a few mo-
ments' notice they were ordered to
leave their beloved homes and hurry
away. There was not even time to
pick GU. their most treasured posses
sions. The little bundles they car
ried contained, for the most part, food
and drink"

Grateful for the Assistance

A burglar, in the act Of breaking
open a safe, was greatly astonished,
on raising his head, to see a man in
tently watching his proceedings. He
tried to escape, but the man stopped
him, saying:
Go on, my friend. l am deeply in
terested in your work"
How SOP" the thief inquired in great
surprise.
Because I have lost the key to this
safe; and if you manage to open it you
shall be handsomely rewarded for your
trouble"

At ia in the Shade, Farmer Didn't

Macedonian cry for help from the
Kansas wheat fields tells this story:
THE farmer told US We were to

it got hot he would knock off an hour.
One day, after We had been out in the
blazing sun until we were painting for
breath, we came in to dinner to find
the mercury up to ia. We thought
the farmer would say something about
short hours that afternoon, but he
didn't. AS We started out to work

War a Teacher Of Geography

A British premier said once that one
of the great advantages Of a foreign
war was the impetus that 1t gave to
the study Of geography: Today the
whole world is porting over the map Of
Europe. Names that hitherto have
been little more than names have be-
conn suddenly lurid with Importance
and interest. Frontier lines that have
seemed to belong to the permanences
of the world are shifting and waver-
ing before our eyes. When this pres
ent confagration has been extin
suished it may be that the map-mak'
ers will have a busy time of 1t and
that we shall all have to go to school
once more to study the new geo.
graphy of Europe and the new appor'
tionment Of that continent

HERE IS A GOOD WAY
TO GET RID OF PlMPLES

Battle your face for several minutes
with resinol soap and hot water, then
apply a little resinol ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with resinol soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
Of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing, antiseptic resinol medication
soothes and cleanses the pores, re-
moves pimples and blackheads. and
leaves the complexion clear and vel
vety. All druggists sell resinol eoap
and resinol ointment.-Adv.
