DOGS DEVOTION TO MAN
Canine Pet Of French Soldier Saves
His Wounded Master.


His Wounded Master.
The dog Of a French soldier follow
ed him to the war, lived with him in
the trenches and shared his blanket
at night. A shell killed a dozen men
and buried this one, badly wounded,
in trench which the explosion half
filled with earth. The dog dug franti-
cally for his master and managed to
expose his face before he suffocated.
Then he seized other soldiers by their
clothing and finally succeeded in draw
ing them to the scene. They unearth-
ed their comrade and put him on a
hospital train, into which the dog also
managed to force his way. At the
hospital, near Paris, the mans leg was
amputated, and the devotion of the
dog was such that the attendants
found a kennel for him near the
kitchens and allowed him to visit his
master twice day. His love for the
wounded man was so great and his
sympathy with his suffering so evil
dent as to touch the hearts Of all who
saw it.
What does it mean? Here Is devo-
tion which exceeds that Of many
mothers, Of many men. Here Is af-
fection manifested in a lower order Of
life which equals our own. 1t is prob
ably true that the dog is Of all ami
mails the most capable Of sincere,
self denying attachment, these high
er qualities having been developed by
long and close companionship with
men. He can subordinate himself
more completely and enter into mans
feelings more sympatheticalfy than
any other form If life; yet how
friendly and how loving to the extent
Of their capacity would all the furred
and feathered folk Of the woods and
fields be If only man would meet them
half way. How the birds would de-
light to sing for him If their confidence
had not been destroyed by ages Of
persecution. There are Hindus who
assert as a fact, within our expert
ences. that there are kindly men who
respect all animal life whom neither
tigers nor snakes will harm. An
immunity Of this sort was assured Of
old to believers, but it would seem
that nobody has sufficient faith to
make trial Of it nowadays-Rocheste

scarce and is even scarcer now than
was the case more than a year ago,
when the shoes with putty, pearl,
tan and other colored cloth tops be-
gan to be worn. The style originated
in Boston. AS Is we'll known, the
greatest shoe manufacturing center OF
the United States is around Boston
Manufactures are even now running
day and night making shoes for Europ-
can soldiers. The tops, however, are
leather, not cloth. The supply Of
leather was becoming exhausted and
the manufacturers Of shoes realizing
something must be done, decided that

troduce shoes for women with cloth
tops. Accordingly, number Of mod
els were put out and they Immediately

shoes lacking the cloth tops Is con-

When a Mexican woman prepares
her tortillas, or daily bread, she Is
usually sitting on the threshold Of her
habitation for purposes Of light and
neighborly gossip. She has brought
forth a grinding stone or fiat mortar
known as a metate, for the purpose of
grinding the maize-an article shaped
out of a block Of special kind of
volcanic stone, called recinta, an i'm
plement inherited from Aztec times.
The maize has been boiled with lit
tie lime and is somewhat softened,
and she places handfuls Of the grain
upon the metate, adding water, and
shortly reduces II to a stiff paste un-
der the grinding of the upper stone.
The tortilla is then patted out into
the form Of a thin pancake and baked
in an earthenware dish, or casuela II
1t Is to be our fortune to partake Of
this preparation-and II we have been
travelling in remote part Of the coun-
try 1t may be so-it Is advisable not
to inquire too closely into the cleanli-
ness of the operation, for the Mexican
peon and his woman do not consider
morning ablutions at all a necessary
part of their toilet. The supply Of
tortillas being finished, they are suff1-
cient for the days requirements and
take the place Of bread and. indeed,
Of plates, knives and forks, for the
poems scoop up their food or put it
upon these handy pancakes for de-
posting it in their mouths and MUNICH

Vain Regrets

1t is a common experience to hear
men who have one or more policies in
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company that have been in force
for five years or longer, and often for
shorter time, and also have insur-
ance in other companies, that they
have been carrying not less than five
years, and cannot let go without Sc
rious loss, that they regret seriously
that
All their insurance Is not I'm the
Mutual Benefit.
Each one has learned that There is
a difference" by experience. The man
who fails to look before he leaps Oft
en- regrets his action.
I shall be pleased to show you the
difference between the MUTUAL
BENEFIT and All Other companies.
1t will be better to find out Before
you buy life insurance than to learn
After you have plaC ed yourself in the
position Of the people referred to
above.

Although Sheriff Kinkead made an
appeal to the crowd TO disperse, they
answered with showers Of clubs and
stones and were only quicted after
strike leaders appeared and Coun-
selled them to return home. Many
shots were fired, but the only known
injuries consisted Of sore heads and
bruised limbs.
While riOting was going on the two
mediatOrs from the federal depart

officials of the Standard Oil com
pany In an effort to bring about a
settlement Of the strike at the oil
plant OF the Standard, which caused

make no statement tonight regarding
the conference.

regular payday at the plants. When
the strikers were told they would not
be paid until Monday. they became
