A Mobilization incident.

IS a 7 times of overwhelming trag.
~ edy," says a young American
diplomat who saw special service at
our embassy in Paris during the first
weeks of the war, lat such times. when
on every hand are to be found scenes
of patriotism, self-sacrifice and daunt-
less bravery, when whole nations are
stirred by great calamity. the fervor
of public sentiment sometimes gives
rise to anonymously comical situa.
lions. Such an incident occurred in
Paris during the French mobilization.
August 3, 1914, a captain who was
carrying his equipment stopped q
horse cab on a crowded street and ask
ed the driver to take him to the east
and the cabman, who was in an ILL
and shook his head.
but it is urgent. said the captain.
I am late! l must get there immedi.
ately!'
"a group of bystanders witnessed
the claimants refusal. They spoke to
one another in an undertone. Suddenly
they rushed forward, picked up the
captain bodily, thrust him, equipment
and all. into the cab and slammed the
door. Some one pulled the driver from
his seat man from the crowd leaped
up and caught the reins In almost
no time the captain was rafting away
to the railway terminus. AS he looked
back he saw the crowd cheerfully roll.

m HE tongue of the Liberty Bell has
probably carried the message OF
4 freedom to more people than the
tongue of any other bell in the world
and Its tones have carried farther than
the tones of any other bell. but there
is another bell in the United states
which shares honors with Liberty Bell,
and is several years older. 1t is the
old Kaskaskia bell, which, on the attn
of July, 1878, or it might have peen
the 5th day of July, 1878, proclaimed
to the world that the valley OF the
Mississippi, an empire in ITSELF was ho
longer under the dominion OF Great
Britain, but was a part OF the .ohileo
States. This bell, which is or ofohze'
rests in a church in New kashaskia'
ILL.,, and there is afoot a proposition
that it shall be turned over for preser-
walton as a priceless relic to the ILL
nofs Historical Society.
In 1742 this bell was given to the
parish of Kaskaskia by Louis XIV, KING
OF France, and grandson of Louis xiv.
The inscription on the bell, though
nearly illegible, tells that 1T was cast
the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception, which stood at Kaskaskia
Iilnois. under the rule of the french,
mad six settlements, one of which was
hve miles above it's mouth, and two
miles from the Mississippi river: When
IT was French town it had between
1000 and 5000 Inhabitants. 1t became
Brltish territory by reason OF the
French and Indian war. Early in July.

act together, but even then there was
question whether. such action would
be effective if it were not backed by the
United States.
These incidents were sufficient to
raise doubt whether the A. e. c. alli-
ance, by its automatic operation, could
supersede the Monroe doctrine
X i.
notwithstanding the part taken by
the A. B. c. powers in the Niagara me-
diation and in the more recent Mexican
developments, a feeling exists that the
alliance is hostile to the United States.
A number of people in this country,
some of them of prominence, have re-
impression.
That some support in the different
countries has been secured for the al
lance through distrust of the United
States is probable, but it is not a
threatening sort of hostility. 1t rests
rather on the sentiment that South
America Should have some sort of unity
of policy which would offset North
American policy whenever that policy
should threaten South American inter-
ests. The public men of the three coun-
tries. while they sometimes seem to
sympathize with this feeling. are not.
nevertheless, antagonistic to the United
States.
Any superficial manifestations of
antiAmerican sentiment which may
crop out may be viewed with equanim-
ity In this country. The United States
really made the alliance possible by
placing the three powers on a plane of

In discussing her most popular bulle-
tin, weeds Used in Medicine" Miss
Henkel disclosed a number of interest
ing facts.
The weeds named" she said, :are
for the most part very well known;
every school child is acquainted with
them. and as many of them are great
pests it would certainly seem desirab BILE
to convert them into sources of profit
wherever possible. Among them also
are many which have heretofore come
mainly from Europe.
THE burdock," for instance, "a large
leaved weed, which overruns city lots
and meadows. has a root which is of
medicinal value. Large quantities are
imported annually, and the best and

article. However, this grows only in
certain parts of the west, but it has
there assumed the character of weed.

BLACK and white mustard are also bad
weeds in California, covering thousands

California on a large scale, the seed
being used for medicinal as well as for
continental purposes. The rank
smelling jimson-weed comes in for it's
