.CLOYELLY..

The particular charm Of England is
her ancient villages, where life has
moved 1eisurely for centuries and
taken on quaint and settled perfec-
ton that is found nowhere else.
Clovelly on the Devonshire and
Bristol channel, ten miles from the
nearest railroad. set at the waters
edge and banked by forested hills, is
one Of the most perfect of these Eng
lish villages, and one that has changed
least since the generous days of Eliz-
abeth's reign. You come to it by a
White road over the hilltops, between
tall hedgerows filed with climbing
roses. and then down into a forest of
oaks that are centuries old, and hung
With moss and mysterious with age.
These ancient forests OF England
stir the imaginat alton as no others can.
Where You to come upon Robin Hood
and his jolly bank Of huntsmen max
ing their camp in shadow-dappled
glade, they would seem but fit and
part Of the picture
Out of the forest you look down
the one street Of Clovelly-a street
that has never known horse or wag-
on, forEit is but a steep, cobbled stair
way. and all the traffic Of the village
is carried on the backs Of sure-footed
donkeys. On either side OF the street
are White-%ashed houses with roses
and fuchsias and lilies, luxuriant
products Of the damp sea air. growing
in the strip of turf on either side Of
their doorsteps. How old these houses
are, nobody knows. The keeper OF
the Red Lion. Inn says his establish
ment was built six hundred years ago,
and that nothing has been added to
the village since he has been old
enough to know.
At the foot or the street is an old
stone quay. and about it are drawn
up fishing boats, and beyond it reach
the hay blue waters or the channel.

fathers tell, a young man went to a
nearby town and took too much ale
and had to be spoken to. But time
has healed the bitter memory of that
scandal. When evening falls on, Clos

!. FuIl-EIedccd Calamity TIoWler.

r
As calamity bowler the local So
called Democratic newspaper Is be-
coming fu1l-hedged It cannot even
let Sunday pass without indulging
itself In that particular. at this par
sticnlar time it is engaged in point
ing out that there would be no bus
mess at all in this country, II 1t were
not for the European war. Then II
proceeds to tell in its crude way just
now Europe is begging Uncle Sam
TO .fll monster orders, something
that would not be at all If 1t were
not for the war. 1t admits that
what business this country has is
because of the war. which means
that there would be no business IN
this country, il it were not for the
war.
And, after so much franltness con
nerning what would have been. had
there been no war. and what would
he now. if the war did not exist, it
caps the climax in Its calamity
Fliowls by giving the following local
touch:
So far as ClarKsburg is concern
ed the city has nrofitei bu- little to
date. The greatest local industry Is
coal mining. The nations of the Old
World have scarcely entered the
coal market up 10 the present time.
consequently the great black dta-
mond fields OF this section are half
paralyzed by the losses sustained at
the outset Of the war.
Thus It Is seen that it contends
that what prosperity this country has
is. based on the war, and it assigns
ms the reason for the condition OF
business here the fact that war or
8ders have not yet reached this city
its talk is strange for a Democrat
sic newspa per, but its admissions are
true, indeed. so true that it is read
lily seen that it finds itself forced TO
accept the contention Republican
newspapers have made all along that
the war has been the only salvation
of the Democratic party and that
what prosperity this country has IS
the result of the war. and not caused
by Democratic Legislation.

Day.

PARIS. Dec. a.--There has been given
out in Paris the following official recital
of the principal events Of the war between
December Is and December 26;/
This period of nine days resulted in
consolidating the successes won by us
during the ten days preceding. Our ag-
gressive attitude has been continued with
ever increased energy; everywhere the
enemy has been reduced to a defensive
attitude. The violence Of counter attacks
has been evidence that he accepted this
attitude reluctantly. The checking OF
every movement made by him in his en-
deavor to recapture ground lost to us
made our advantage the greater.
1T is proper to say that at various
points along the front, particularly near
Arras, on the western boundary OF the
Argonne district, and near verdun. we
have made ourselves the masters OF inn
portant points OF support
THE operations to the north of the
Lys have been attended by great hard
ship because OF thes bad weather; the
cold. liquid mud. in which the men have
had to move. has gotten In the breeches
OF their rifles. This made it impossible
to shoot. The fighting consequently has
been with the butt end OF muskets and
even with fists.
According to an expression used by
one of their leaders. our soldiers are
literally blots OF mud. There has been
organized for them system by which
they can now battle and change clothes
upon leaving the trenches"
