Mrs. Bowser wrote that her mother
was much better and that she could
be home the next week, and Mr.. Bow
ser wrote her in reply:
DO not think of coming home for
the next three or four weeks. Your
dear mother is liable to have a re-
lapse, and if she does, it will be the
grave for her Things are running
happily and smoothly. Your affection
ate husband" etc.
The cook was not taken along when
Mr.. Bowser selected the covering for
the chairs and the new carpets She
kindly offered to go but was purpose
ly left behind. If the above said Sc
lections were not bowling successes it
was not the fault of a devoted hus-
band. The salesman the carpet store
started in to tell Mr.. Bowser what the
latest thing in carpets was, but was
met with a reply:
Sir. I was selecting carpets before
you were out of your cradle, and I
think I know what 1 want
This settled the salesman and also
sold some fifty yards of carpeting
which had been in the store for the
past twenty years.
Mrs. Bowser wrote again that her
mother had got well enough to throw
a tramp over the fence and that she
wanted to be in her own home again.
And Mr.. Bowser replied:
Don't chance a relapse. Wait I'M
til she can turn a grindstone a thou
Ssi1Io LILIES without stopping Tor
BREATH
All things have an end and Mr.
Bowser's refurnishing had one two
weeks later. He hustled. He made
others hustle He used the telephone
and his legs unsparingly. He coaxed
and he threatened and at length all
the changes were made and the house
awaited Mrs. Bowser's homecoming.
She came. The cook had been
through the house several times and
shook her head at every change and
said to herself:
Harmony! Wait till Mrs. Bowser
gets home and see if there'll be har-
mony. Red, green, blue, brown, all
mixed together. It's no wonder the cat
shows signs of going insane"
Riding home from the depot, Mr..
Bowser was very enthusiastic, but he
did not even hint at what had been
done at the house. He let Mrs Bow
ser find out for herself. She found out.
Before she had taken off her hat, she
had gone through every room. and
noted every change, and just as the
smiling Mr.. BOwSer looked for her to
break forth in words of praise and
gratitude. she fell full length on the
floor in a dead faint, and did not re-
cover from it till three or four of the
neighboring women had rushed in and
worked over her a quarter of an hour.
The harmony was too much.
She was a brave, strong woman, but
she could not stand it.
AS for Mr. Bowser-but he had done
his best.-(Copyright 1915, by the

William Tells Feat Recalled By Action
 of Tyrolese Soldier

Vienna, Oct. t6-A remarkable feat of marksmansKip is reported from the southwestern front, where many of the famous Tyrolese rif1emen are fighting against the Italians A troop of the so-ca1led Kaiser Light Infantry, which was fighting on the Doberdo plateau, got into a most precariHus position in advance of the Austrian lines They could not retreat as the 9round over which they would have to run was fully covered by the ItaI- ian guns They held their ground for several days. while suffering greatly for lack of food and water.
 The Italian artillery was playing upon them with accuracy, being di- rected by means of a post of observers on higher ground-than that held by the Tyrolesel 1t was regarded as necessary to get rid of that post, which consisted of eight A1pfni, and a, soldier, who had made a reputation for himself in the OetzthaI as a highly expert poacher volunteered to under take the difficult task Climbing stealthily by night. as if hunting chamois, he reached a hiding place in easy shot of the post, and when the eight Italians began to stip the next morning he quickly picked them off, one after the other.

Reality of War In Germany Kills All
 Theatrical Mimicry

Berlin, Oct. 6-Berlin's second the atrical season since the war has begun is notable for its lack of warlilxe offer ings. In all the mass of plays and operas now presented or to be pre- sented in the immediate future there areb ut two of a military nature. Both of these have been running for months, and are continuing because they have genuine dramatic value, rather than because the public fancy clamors for anything warlfke
 Old timers call this beginning of Ber1ins theaetrfcaI season so nearly like the opening in peace times that it is hard to distinguish the difference. They base this opinion not alone on the attendance, which certainly is good, but on the very character of the offerings and the absence of plays suggestive of the war.
 The season in 1914 opened with a tidal wave of war" plays. Something of their general character and excel 1ence may be gathered from the words of one of Berlin's we'll known dra- matic critics, who wrote, This flood of we'll meant and poorly rhymed, |, hastily thrown together productions fortunately has ebbed, and the tenn pies of the joyful muse even, follow

 The Quakers are the, foremost of several societies engaged in assisting g the former population to return tosth e land The Society of Friends in Eng land and America have raised over $250, 900 by voluntary subserip ption, aand are constructing these one, two and three-room houses-dependin on the size of the famiIy-for sums rang ing from $4 to $11 apiece. At present there are about 13O workers aiding the, government in the work of restor- ation. The departmental authorities supply the lumber, while volunteer arr tisans of the Society, aided by soldiers who in civil life are carpenters and join detailed by the ministry of war for this work, do the building Two hundred of these houses, accom- : modating more than 800 persons have already been completed while 129 are under construction.
 In many instances furniture is sup piled by the Society, the French gov
 ernmeHt defraying half the expense. In the majority of cases the Fireside IsComfort Society, whose sole aim is the distribution of furniture among the needy, supplies the few simple neces- sities. The tenants pay no rent, but agree to certain per cent. of their eventual war indemnity, being with held by the government Besides building new houses, many others which were only partially destroyed have been reraired
 The Friends conduct many other forms of relief At Chalons-sur- M arne a maternity hospital was established. It is now used for all civilian cases, many injured during the bornbard- meKfts of Rheims and Pontt-a-Mous- son being treated. At Bethancourt a convalescent home beyond the sound of the cannon, insures speedy recov- cry under more favorable. surround ings- In several localities open air schools are conducted; at Hueve a modern school house has been erected. Garden tools, quantities of vegeta- b1e and flower seeds, as well as pouI- try and rabbits have been supplied the small agricultura1ists. Through t4ee aid of the American Clearing House five reaping and binding ma
 chimes were sent with the 20 received from England to those CornnuneA in greatest need.
