travellers find themselves in a condition

that is, abroad.
opea who have visited US are con-
stantly amazed at the utter indifference
with which Americans confess to a lack of
acquaintance with the natural wonders Of
our own country, which they had seen
when on our side. 1t Is high time we did
know our own country, and while our
toWn halls and churches are not a thou
sand years old, our Niagara fails and
Rocky mountains and Glacier park are
older than either Rome or the ruins of
Herculaneum. And where on earth can
one go in a palace car and find a Yellow
stone park. or a Grand canyon of the
cave. or a Great Salt lake? Ours is a
land of wonders. and though new In a
constructive sense, Is not lacking in In
~terest. The south is full of surprises. the
vast prairfes of the central west nave no
counterpart in Europe; our great lakes
float steamers with all the luxuries Of an
ocean liner. The magnificent Pacific coast
this year has the added attraction Of a
great worlds fair.
Even the ~adventurer need not miss the
excitement of mountain climbing: both
Washington and Alaska furnish all the
danger the most reckless might desire;
and the explorer may spend years among
thy ancient cliff dwellers' towns in New
Msxico and the petriied forests of the

Blessed Are the Peaeemaker Presidents

Josephus Daniels in the World Outlook.
The heart of the American people is for
peace. In the last half century the three
presidents most beloved by their country
men were the three who strove most to
prevent war or did most to mitigate its
horrors.
lincoln hoped, up to the shot at Fort
Sumter that the conflict might be averted,
and never by word nor act added fuel to
the flames. but strove steadfastiy Tor
peace. When unable to prevent the I'M
happy fratricidal struggle, he a~ssuaged
the war ternpest in every possible way,
and died with the love of the American
people,, nGrth n south.
Mckinley, a brave soldier, knew the
horrors of war, and exerted his most earn
est effort to prevent war with Spain,
though virulently assailed by men whom
the war spirit dominated. The people OF
America have forgotten those who criti-
cised his peace policies. but nave immor-
taliZed William Mckinley.
President Wilson, like his two peace-loy-
ing predecessors, has exerted every inf1u-
#ence of his great office to prevent a hos
tile outbreak between this and other coun-
tries. His influence has averted war, and
the passage Of the peace treaties renders
war with any one of 26 nations difficult.
The American people take Lincoln, Nc
Kinlely and Wilson as their models rather
than those who would supplant our en-
lightened policy Of peace with a crushing
militarfsm.

Soup may well be chosen for the main
dish at luncheon in winter. It is
easily eaten and. if not too rich, is
easily digested. It is warm and

together with a sliced onion and a
couple OF carrots, strain the result, add
q few noodles and serve this broth in
cups. If there are bits of left over
vegetables, make a delicious vegetable

TO KILL A GERMAN
IS W0MAN'S AMBITION
Vengeance For Destruction Of
Her Whole World Is ALI
She Lives For.

BY Herbert Corey in Kansas City Star,
Vlissingen, Holland, (by mail).-At
the hotel in Flushing where by great
luck l found q shelter under the roof,
were two Belgians. One was q tall,
erect, soldierly looking mar of 78. His
wife was eight years younger. Once
sHe must have been uncommonly pref

filrt. At 70 she was o very charming,
elderly woman Her hands were slen-
der and very white. A diamond or two
We're lustrous upon them.
We lived outside of Antwerp" said
she. we did not know that tho
Bosches were coming until one night
we heard a banging at the door. Ger
man soldiers were cutting 1t down with
axes. They drove my husband and
myself into the street in our night
clothes. We had no time even to pick
up a coat"
AS they stood there in the street,
bewildered, frightened by the soldiers
who pressed about them. dazzled by the
torches, their home roared up in
flames. They had lived there all their
married life. 1t was filed with the in
innate associations brought by life and
birth and death. The village street
burst into fire behind them. With the
other villagers they were driven into
the open country-crowding, crying, a
half dressed, shivering, shouldering
mob-as though they were SO many
cattle. They were never able to return.
My husband had been a general in
the Belgian army" said she. Some
years & he retired. He had enough
money to live comfortably. Today we
have nothing, We have not heard from
our two sons. My Husband"
She need not finish her sentence.
The old mans vacant smile as he sat
c~ontentedly in the sun told his story.
And then the old woman completed her

the world. She had been gently
reared. Her years had been spent in
works n little, pretty vanities.

she. Il want to kill a German with my

Crying kase his little heart is sore.
All the children playing round have skin
SO white and fair,
None of them with him will ever play,
So nanny in her lap takes the little
weeping chap,
And says in her kind old way:
CHORUS.
Now honey. you stay in your own back
yahd,
Don't mind what dem white chile do,
What show you 'spose dey's agwine to glib
A poor little coon like you?
So stay on dis side oh de high boa fence,
And honey don't you cry so hahd.
Go out and-a play Just as much as you
But stay in your own back yahd."
Every day tho children as they pass old
mammy's place,
Romping home from school at nigh or
noon,
Peering through the fence would see this
eager little face,
Such a wtstfnl looking little COON.
But one day the little face had gone for
evermore,
God had called the dusky little elf,
But maTnmy In b door sat and rocked ~
oft before,
And crooned to her own black self.

RENDERS HAVE HELPED
TO CIVlLIZE ALASKANS

I'm 20 years the reindeer industry has
made the Eskimos of Alaska civilized
and thrifty men," says the United
states bureau of education in a bulle-
tin Just issued.
The reindeer industry began in AL
S in 1892 when the bureau Of edu-
cation imported from Siberia III rein
deer. The object OF the Importation,
according to the bulletin, was to fur
dish a source of supply for food and
of Boring strait. This importation
was continued until 1902, and a total
of 1880 reindeer were brought from
Siberia, There are now 47,266 rein
deer distributed among 60 herds, and
30,532 OF these are owned by the ma
tives.
This Industry has given to the Alas
kan Eskimos not only food n cloth
ing, but a means of transportation SUI
perior to dog teams. Instead of being
nomadic hunters eking out a precarious
existance on the vast untimbered lands
of the Arctic coast region "the Eskimos"
according to the bureaus bulletin now
have assured support and opportunity
to acquire wealth by the sale Of meat
and skins to the white men"
The reindeer industry Is carefully
guarded. mo native is permitted to
sell or otherwise dispose of a female
reindeer to any person other than 9
native Alaskan" This is done, the
bulletin states, Test white men deprive
the natives of their reindeer and de-
stroy this great native industry which
the bureau of education has in the
last 20 years built up n fostered."
The reindeer service is an integral
part of the educational system of the
bureau of education for northern and
western Alaska. The district superin-
tendents of schools are also superin-
%tendents of the reindeer service.
Promising and ambitious young ma
dives are selected by superintendent
as apprentices in the reindeer service,
receiving, six, eight or 10 reindeer at
.he close of the first, second and third
years, respectively. and 10 more at the
close Of the fourth year. Upon the sat
~lsfactory termination of his apprentice
ship, the native becomes a herder and
assumes entire charge OF a herd.
