night of August 10. Two farms were
destroyed. the crops were destroyed or
carried away. six houses were burned
and all the men were compelled to
hand over their arms.
"It was found that none had been
discharged recently and finally the
men were separated into three de-
tachments. Two of the detachments
disappeared. A third. consisting of
eleven men, was driven at the point
of the bayonet into a ditch and when
they piled in the German soldiers sat
upon them and beat their brains out
with the butt ends of their rifles. The
eleven battered bodies were found
later by Belgian troops.

Little Ellen passed away to the great be- yond on the night of the l1th and Hellen on the 18th.

FOUND THE MEANEST MAN
Little Doubt That Turks Request Was Bestowed as He Intended
 It Should Be.

A Turkish story runs that, dying, a pious man bequeathed a fortune to his son, charging him to give $500 to the meanest man he could find, and $500 to the most foolish
 The most foolish man is another story; as to the meanest, accounts agreed that certain cadi filled the bill. Accordingly the dutiful son of fered him $500

MEANS A GETTING TOGETHER
Idea Of Father-and-Son Dinners Un- doubtedly Good and Need Not
 Stop at That.

dispatch from Cleveland, the proud originator of the father-and son movement, states that mayors of more than a hundred cities have heartily indersed the idea of closer mental and moral union between dad and his boy, and have even issued elo- quent prociamations on the subject Dinners are planned in these and other cities. and, we doubt not, a good deal of digging is going on in libraries and quotation books.
 Mayor Nye of Minneapolis In his proclamation made a palpable hit In phrase that like a historic shot will be heard all over the world
 tlome.' he said, should be more than place in which to sleep and eat" Who will not heartily indorse thts-adding, however, that home" would not have the meaning and sound 1t has if it had been nothing more than place for sleeping and eating? With or without mayoral proclamations and inducements. the home will thrive for some centuries vet, and It Is to be hoped that fa- thers and sons will not wait for pub lie dinners to draw closer together. Every family meal affords an oppor- unity for cementing the ties and pro- noting understanding in the home. After dinner smoking or reading, walks and amusements, civic and other movements also provide such opportunities.

Rubber-Plated Battleships.

The Globe is informed that a new invention in regard to armor-plating is being tested unofficially by the admir- atty. The principle of the invention consists of sandwiching rubber in be- tween layers of Harveyed steel in place of the solid steel slabs used at present.
 The matter Is being kept secret. no names or places being given. but it is claimed by the inventor that the thick wall of rubber would tend to act to- wards shell much in the same way as sandbag does to a bullet, only, if anything, more efficiently, on ac- count of the buffer-like consistency of the rubber.
 The new armor plate would be es- pecially adaptable to dreadnoughts, and the total thickness on and below the turrets would be about eighteen inches to twenty inches.

Distance in Bavaria.

In the Bavarian highlands sign posts along the roads, instead of stat ing the number of miles or kilometers to the various villages, give the amount of time which the average pedestrian will supposedly take to traverse the distance, an exchange states. This is merely an official ex- pression of the very general custom of the peasants in the region, whe Invariably tell inquirers on the roads not how far it Is to place, but how long 1t takes to get there
 For instance, one asks: How far Is 1t to Oherammergau?
 "A small half hour" will be the an. swer, or perhaps "A good half hour" or "A big half hour
 Which is puzzling until the stran- ger learns that a small half hour" means 25 minutes, "a good half hour" 30 minutes and "a big half hour" 35 minutes.

THINGS EVERY BOY WILL DO
Standards of Conduct Have Remained Onaltered Through All
 the Ages.

Instituting comparison between boys and girls, in which it correctly states that the girl of today partici- oates very little in household work and does practically nothing to re- duce expenditure. the Minneapolis Tribune states:
 Boys have not reached that stage ot civilization which affiicts girls. Boys can be set to amuse themselves just as they could in more primitive times
 Boys, indeed offer a fixed standard of conduct. which the mutabilities of thousands of years, including diverg- ence of race and climatic conditions, have not been able to alter We see the same characteristics in the boy of the slums. up to a certain age, that we do in the son of the million aire. It is only when boys grow up that they yield to environment and habit.
 Here are some of the things com mon to every boy which civilization has not been able to affect:
 Every boy will fight at the drop of the hat
 Every boy hates to be dres3ei up
 Every boy hates girls.
 Every boy will lie to save himself from punishment
 Every boy throws stones
 Every boy says naughty words
 Every boy will associate with any other boy he likes. regardless of any thing, such as money, position, etc.
 When, say, up to twelve, a boy docs not conform to these rules, tkere is something the matter with him Re- garded from the standpoint of the other boys, he is No good Life

Contractor Joseph McCoppin has completed the laying of the 13 miles of sewer mains provided for under his original contract, and is now at work on few. extra mains decided upon by the commissioners to be added to the system. These extras include sewers in the alley between Oak and North streets from the railroad to Locust avenue, in the alley running north and south between the public square and Chesnut street, from Oak to Main street and a short stretch on South Front street to make connection with the new passenger station.
 The septic disposal tank for the eastern division of the district Is now completed and will be connected with the mains this week. When this is done all those living in this part of the district will be given permission to make connections with the system The tank for the western division of the district has not yet been complet- ed, but the material for it is on the ground, and it is expected that it will be finished within a short time.
