LACONIC AND MODEST ADOLPH
Baden Private's Directions to Wife to
Keep Boy Well
Spanked.

Berlin.-Prizes for brevity, and a
few more besides for modesty, go to
a Baden peasant, who for some time
has been with the forces in Flanders.
His wife has just made public the fol-
lowing laconic letters from him. The
first reads:
Dear Wife: l am still alive, and
have received your bundle If the boy
is bad, spank him. Greetings, Adolph. -
Shortly after came a second:
Dear Bertha: am still alive, which
surprises me very much. If the boy
still is naughty, spank him again.
Greetings. Adolph."
The third was in the form of a
photograph of Adolphs troop, showing
him decorated with the iron cross. No
mention, however, was made Of the
medal, and the picture merely bore on
the reverse side this brief note:
Dear Bertha: I was wounded but
am well again, and tomorrow I go at it
again. If the boy is naughty, box his
ears. Greetings. AdoIph"
PerpleXed, the wife wrote her hus-
band demanding to know how he had
received the iron cross, and received
the following reply:
at was very simple about the iron
cross. The major ordered me to stand
still, and the sergeant-major pinned it
on. Greetings. AdoIph."

Germany Thoroughly Organized
to Meet War Strain.
Neutral Observer of London Times De-
cIares Empire Shows Less Disturb
ance Than Other BeIIigerents-
Determined to Fight to End.

Cologne.-The neutral observer of
the London Times, who has been trav-
cling through Germany, declares that
the efficiency of the people is as great
today as ever and that the force of all
the people is concentrated scientifically
on the work of defense, says a dis
patch to the semioficial Cologne Ga
zette. The neutral observer to his
great surprise, arrived in Berlin pune
tually and without mishap. He thus
describes the capital:
Il found in Berlin the cold metallic,
precise click of great machine, not
the throbbing heart of an empire. 1t is
the most magnificent organization the
world has ever seen. 1t is man reduced
to an equation of efficiency. OF each in
| dtvidual is required about one-half the
effort Of which he is capable. The re-
suit is that not only is the nation am
ply provided for any emergency, but
ordinary life is less disturbed than in
any other belligerent country.
After six months of war Germany
seems to me almost as strong as on
the first day, closely united, little dis
turbed. The civil life of the nation
appears to continue as in time of
peace.
To underestimate Germany's mill
tary reserve would be very shortsight-
ed. Military authorities state that her
class Of 1915, some 100000 ablebodied,
picked men, has not been called out
Apart from these, the numbers of 'un-
trained landwehr and fandsturm' would
run into millions. Though arms and
ammunition factories are working day
and night, l have it from a reliable
source that Germany is only just be-
ginning to use her 1914 small arms
ammunition.
Every possible effort is being made
to preserve for the future such perish
able stores as are now in the market.
It has been carefully determined
whether, under given conditions, it
will be more advantageous to keep a
COW alive and obtain milk, butter and
cheese from day to day and the meat
at some future time or by slaughter
ing it to save the food which it would
consume and which might be of great
er caloric value to man. An under
standing of German character will pre-

Eafinn AnYfhinr-

DR.. Lucy Barney Hall, in a letter to
the women Of the Boston Business
league, said: you can eat anything
you are inclined to without injurious
effects" That is not true, unless one
is hale, hearty, robustious or has
stomach inherited from a grandfather
who fought Indians back in the corn
bread and venison days. But most
stomachs are not OF this kind. We
took lunch with a gentleman the other
day who seems as rugged and healthy
as big boy, and yet he took only hard
rolls, tea and custard pie, and then
scraped the custard out of the shell.
Another gentleman said he ate pie
every lunch for four days last week,
and on the fifth day he was laid up
for repairs, and then had to sober off
on crackers and tea. Doctor Hall is
wrong. A person must be careful of
his eating. We are all constituted diff
ferently, each one as different in his
stomach as in his clothes. If there is
any rule that applies to all, and which
is of itself the best guaranty against
sickness, it is not to eat so much.

Dark Hollow, very near the time of
the onslaught on Mr.. Etheridge; and
he certainly hated the man and want
ed him out Of the way. The whole
town knows that, with one exception.
You know that exception?"
81 think So" she acceded, taking
a fresh grip upon her emotions.
That this was anything more than
a coincidence has never been ques-
toned. He was not even summoned
as witness. With the judges high
reputation in mind I do not think a
single person could have been found
in those days to suggest any possible
connection between this boy and q
crime so obviously premeditated. But
peoples minds change with time and
events, and Oliver Ostrander's name
uttered in this connection today would
not occasion the same shock to the
community as it would have done then.
You understand me. Mrs. ScovilIe?"
You allude to the unexpected sep
aration between himself and father,
and not to any failure on his part to
sustain the reputation Of his family %
ooh, he has made a good position
for himself, and earned universal con-
sideration. But that doesn't weigh
against the prejudices of people,
reused by such eccentricities as have
distinguished the conduct of these two
men"

to the soul for the first time, both by

with a gTimness possibly suggested
by his subject, that no mere whim
lies back of such a preposterous Sc
clusion as that of Judge Ostrander be-
hind his double fence. Sons do not
cut loose from fathers or fathers from
sons without good cause. You can
see, then, that the peculiarities of
their mutual history form but a
poor foundation for any light refuta-
ton of this scandal, should it reach
the public mind. Judge Ostrander
knows this, and you know that he
knows this; hence your distress. Have

THIS CHICKEN WELL DRESSED
Idaho Biddy Has FuIl-Dress Flannel
Coat and Seems to Be
Proud of 1t.

The proudest chicken in Boise lives
on West State street.
The bird has no medals for pedi-
gree, no certificates for being cham
pion layer, no diplomas for good be-
havior, or unusual size. Yet without
any of these attachments, this fowl is
the observed of all observers Citi-
zens go blocks out of their way to see
the bird, which struts with pride be-
fore their view.
This fowl claims the distinction Of
being the only bird in Boise to pos
sess a swallow-tail overcoat. It's own
er, takes a personal interest in all her
hens, and it was with some concern
that she noticed during the summer
that one of the late spring chickens
failed to develop any feathers on its
back
When the cool evenings came on
last fall the bird seemed to feel the
cold, and its owner made from an
old flannel shirt unique coat, mod
eled after a full-dress coat, with no
front to speak Of, but plenty of back
and tail Sits were arranged for the
birds wings, and the fowl seems to
others in the coop to be particularly
proud of the costume

No Profit in irish Sugar Reets.

While sugar beets can be success
fully grown in Ireland, writes Consul
Wesley Frost, from Queenstown, their
culture would probably not be profit
able, according to a statement just
issued by the head of the department
of agriculture and technical instruc-
ton for ireland. The fact has been
established that a normal price for
sugar beets will yield less per acre
than the normal prices for potatoes
or mangeIs. AS the sugar beet indus
try would not be successful under the
ordinary conditions of peace, the de-
partment does not feel prepared to
take, directly or indirectly, any re-
sponsibility for advising Irish farmers
to grow beet root" It is added that
whatever may be the results of Eng
lands exclusion of sugar, therefore, in
Scotland and England, it seems safe
to assume that sugar production will
not be developed in 4reland.-New

CHAPTER XII.
Changes.

"Reuther, sit up here close by
little while"
Eyes, mother; oh, yes, mother"
Deborah felt the beloved head pressed
close to her shoulder and two soft
arms fall about her neck.
Are you very unhappy? Is my
little one pining too much for the old
days?"
A closer pressure Of the head,
more vehement clasp of the encircling
arms, but no words.
They were sitting in the dark, with
just the light Of the stars shining
through the upper panes of the one
unshaded window. Deborah, there
FORE had little to fear from her daugh-
ter's eye, only from the sensitiveness
of her touch and the quickness OF her
ear. Alas. IN this delicateIy organized
girl these were both attuned to the
incest discrimination, and before the
mother could speak Reuther had
started up, crying:
"Oh, how your heart beats! Some
thing has happened, darling mother;
something which"
Hush, Reuter-; it is only this:
When l came to Shelby it was with
hope that I might some day smooth
the way to your happiness. But it
was only a wild dream, Reuther; and
the hour has come for me to tell you
so. What joys are left US must come
in other ways; love unblessed must
be put aside resolutely and forever"
She felt the shudder pass through
the slender form which had thrown
itself again at her side; but when the
young girl spoke it was with unex-
pected bravery and calm.
L have long ago done that, mamma
I've had no hopes from the first The
look with which Oliver accepted my
refusal to go on with the ceremony
was one of gratitude, mother. I can
never forget that. Relief struggled
with grief. Would you have me cher
ish any further illusion after that?"
Then you will not think me unkind
or even untender if l say that every
loving thought you give now to Oliver
is hurtful both to yourself and to me.
Don't indulge in them, my darling. Put
your heart into work or into music,
and your mother will bless you. Won't
it help you to know this, Reuther?
Your mother who has had griefs, will
bless you"
Mother, mother!"
The next morning found Deborah
pale-almost as pale as Reuther.
Knowing its cause herself, she did not
invite the judges inquiries; and anoth-
er day passed. With the following
morning she felt strong enough to
open the conversation which had now
become necessary for her peace of
mind.
She waited till the moment when,
her work all done, she was about to
leave his presence. Pausing till she
caught his eye, which seemed little
loath, she thought, to look her way,
she observed, with perhaps unneces-
sary distinctness:
81 hope everything is to your mind,
Judge Ostrander. l should be very
sorry not to make you as comfortable
as is possible under the circum-
stances
Reused a little suddenly, perhaps,
from thoughts quite disconnected with
those Of material comfort, he nodded

All Outdoors Their Enemy.

These Korean children, living in
mud huts and playing in yards circum-
scribed by bamboo paling or mud
walls, have not a square chance at
cleanliness. Sanitation is unknown in
the ordinary Korean household. Fresh
air is considered an enemy rather
than a friend, and all apertures
through which a little air might enter
are carefully closed. The smoke from
the fire, where the family rice is
cooked, runs through a pipe under
meath the earthen floor of the living
room and finds an exit on the side of
the wall, and not upon the roof, and
these blackened exits are a part of
the side-wall decorations OF Korean
homes.-Christian Herald

SYNOPSIS.

A curious crowd Of neighbors invade
the mysterious home Of Judge OStrander,
county judge and eccentric recluse, fol
lowing a yelled woman who proves TO be
the widow OF a man tried before the judge
md eleCtrocuted for murder years before
Her daughter is engaged to the Judge
son, from whom he is estranged, but the
murder is between the lovers. She plans
70 clear her husbands memory and asks
the judges aid. Deborah SCOville reads
the newspaper clippings telling the story
Of the murder Of Algernon Etheridge by
John ScOyille in Dark Hollow, twelve
years before. The Judge and Mrs. SEQ
vile meet at Spencer's Folly and she
shows him how, on the day Of the muir
der, she saw the shadow Of a man, whit
ting stick and wearing a long peaked
cap. The judge engages her and her
daughter Reuther to live with him in his
mysterious home. Deborah and her law
yer, Black, go to the police station and
see the stick used to murder Etheridge,
She discovers a broken knife-blade point
embedded in it. Deborah and Reuther go
to live with the Judge. Deborah sees a
portrait Of Oliver, the judges son, with
black band painted across the eyes. That
night She finds, in divers room, a cap
with peak like the Swallowed one, and
knife with a broken blade-point. Anon
ym0us letters and a talk with Miss
Weeks increase her suspicious and fears.
She finds that Oliver was in the raYine
on the murder night.
