Immediately after Charles Howard

WOULD TAKE A LITTLE TIME
suit and Probably Real Estate
Agent Missed the Train.

The real estate man from the city
was eager to close the deal for Uncle
Billy Wcatherman' 40 acres, which
would front on a beautiful lake after
the big White river dam in the Mis-
souri, Ozarks was built.
The papers lay on the table, await
ing Uncle iillys signature. The real
estate man was impatient. He was
in a hurry to get back to Hollister, the
nearest railway station, so as to catch
the only train that would get him back
to Kansas Cisy the next morning.
Now if you'll sign right thereon
the dotted line" he said, handing a
fountain pen to Uncle Billy.
Uncle Billy took out his spectacles,
and read the papers carefully.
Il reckon I'd better not be in too big
a hurry about this hyar," he tempo
riZcd, with the shrcwdness of the
Ozark mountaincer. Il don't read as
peart as | used to | b'lieve I'll have
my sons read them papers, mister"
1T would be great favor to me,
Uncle Billy" remarked the Kansas
City man, looking at his watch, IF you
could manage to see them in time to
finish up this transaction by noon.
You see, I've got to get away today.
How many sons have you, anyway
Uncle Billy scratched his head a
minute, and said, Eighteen. Youth s
Companion.

VALLEY OF MEUSE
VALLEY OF DEATH

London, Jan. 6-Herbert G.. Hoover,
chairman of the American Commits
sion for Belgian Relief, returned to
London today from tour cf inspec-
ton in Belgium and issued this state
mGnt:
can appalling situation has been
presented to the commission with re-
gard to the French peaSantry in the
valley of Meuse, where there. are
10000 persons absolutely without
food. Our Investigations there showed
a large number of deaths already
from starvation.
''Desr::1 = the shortnesS Of rations IN
Belgium oar Belgium colleague ag-
reed that Wc must share rhe last cruSt
with thaS. people. W. therefore sent
them food out of our limited Belgian
stores"
MIR. Hoover also issued a report of
the commissions work in Belgium, in
which he said the orgaization for dis
tributing food is nearing completion.
1t is aided by $4,000 volunteers and
there are only few localities to
which relief has not been extended.
"It must be borne in mind" Mr..
Hoover said, that our problem falls
into two phases. The first is to pro-
vide bread for those who are able to
pay for it, and the second to supply
all the food for those who are desti-
tute.> Broadly the former comprise
some 5,600,O0O persons They require
about $3,50O.0O0 worth of bread a
month.
THE destitute comprise about l.
100000. The cost of supporting them
is about $2,5OO000 a month for which
we are depending on the charity of
the world"
Mr.. Hoover paid tribute to German
assistance in the work of distribu-
on. He said:
"The occupying army has been ex-
traordinarily Scrupulous in its OBJ
servance of the agreement that no
foodstuffs imported by us were to be
consumed by them. The German gov
ernment has issued a general order
that no provisions which would in the
ordinary course have to be replaced
by the relief commission shall be re-
Questioned.
despite the volume of food placed
at our disposal we can provision only
until February 10. Great as has beer
the generosity of the American people
it is well to bear. in mind that if we
fail after that date the world will be
faced by the greatest tragedy it has
yet witnessed in the possible eXtinc.
ton of an entire nation"

779 MEMBERS OF GERMAN
NOBILITY HAVE MET DEATH
Some Died Upon the Battlefields
While Some Succumbed to,
Wounds in Action

Berlin, Jan. Capitalization of the
Almanac de Gotha for 1915 and the
various genealogical anpuals which
has just taken place here reveals tr.~'
up to November first ITO memh . t
the German nobility had .sosaCI ,.s ssaoi
on the battlefields c,tf 4 succumbed
to wounds rece; r' n actlon.
II ;s sh- =. chat of members be-
,o,, >s;.s co the "graefliche" houses, or
,"-milies carrying the title of count,
IA had fallen in battle or died of
wounds by November l. The "freiher-
rlichen" or baronical families had
lost 200 members through the war,
while the very essence of German
nobility, the "Urdeligen" families,
who trace their ancestors to the year
of 1850 or beyond, had lost 246 mem
bers in all. The families hit hardest
are the Armins with 8, the Wedels
with 8, the Oerbens with and the
DICKENS with 6 members. But the
class of nobility which seems to have
suffered most, though it is by no
means the most numerous, is that
whose members have been knighted
by letters-patent, and who are known
in Germany as "briefadeliger" houses.
This class lost $50 members.
The total number of losses through
death on the battlefield or as the
result of wounds received in action
of the German nobility is, therefore,
ITO, up to November 1.
According to the Almanac de Gotha
the following members of German
and foreign reigning houses still re-
tain their honorary commands in the
enemies armies: Prince Henry of
Prussia, colonel Second Russian Hus-
sar regiment; Grand Duke of Olden-
burg, colonel 9th Russian infantry
regiment; German empress, colonel
Russian Garde de Corps Hussars;
Russian empress, colonel German Sec
ond Guard Dragon regiment; Queen
Mary of England, colonel German
Fifth Hussars; Duchess of Connought

ment. The large number of honorary
commissions held formerly by MEM
bers of the reigning houses of Europe
in foreign armies has thus sunk to
six-an infnitesimal fraction of the
numbers of other years,

MERCIER'S ARREST
STARTLES EUROPE

London, Jan. 6.-An Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam
says kilograms received there from
Berlin assert that Cardinal Mercier's
arrest has caused CONSERVATION in
Catholic circles.
Catholic leaders, it is stated, openly
declare the arrest was an unpardon-
able blunder and that if-the reichstag
were in session, the members of the
centre party would demand an ex-
planation from the chancellor.
Berlin dispatches say that messages
from Rome declare the arrest of Car
dinal Mercier has aroused indigna-
ton in vatican circles and that it is
expected Pope Benedict will ask for
speedy redress.
Reuters Amsterdam correspondent
says:
"The arrest of Cardinal Mercier has
created profound sensation through
out Belgium. According to reports
received here, the Germans also ar
reseted the printer of the cardinals
pastoral letter, who until recently was
burgomaster of Malines, but released
him on BAIL
at is stated the reading of the pas
toral letter has been prohibited. Sew
eral priests were arrested for reading
it. Fugitives from Antwerp say all
the rectories around Malines and Ant
werp are guarded by sentries"

NO PARDON TOR CLEMENT.

Spartanburg. Jan. 3.-Another
batch of pardons and paroles by Gov
ernor Blease and no mention of par
don, parole or communication for CLYDE
G.. Clement, the Wofford Fitting
school student, held in the county jail
here under life sentence for murder,
serves to accentuate the controversy
that has arisen between some local
friends" of the governor over this
matter.
Clement was convicted in this
county last February of the murde"
of his infant daughter, a child Of
Fleda Pendleton, of Durham, who
was tried at the same time and ac-
quilted, and has since been prisone?
in the county Jail pending an appeal
to the supreme court. The infant, il
will be recalled, was drowned in Law

and Miss Pendleton admitted on the
stand that they were together on the
bridge when the child was thrown
over into the stream each swore that
the other committed the crime. Miss
Pendleton's acquittal created a ssnsa.

The Curfew.

III there is curfew in your vicinity,
it is probably Il signal, imposed by the
town authorities. which, when sounded
in the evening, requires small boys to
retire within doors. In it's beginning
the curfew served Il far different pur-
pose, and applied TO all classes of
Whatever age. In the middle ages,
when we first hear of the curfew, the
curfew bell was commonly tolled in
cities as warming to all inhabitants
TO eXtlnSulSh or cover up all fires and
tNShts. This was a common practice
throughout Europe and was a very
necessary precautiOn against fire All
OF the houses were of wood and the
fires were kindlcd in a. hole in the
floor. with no other vent than another
hole in the roof above the hearth. Tn
der such circumstances il was all too
easy for Il fire TO start, and wooden
buildings and crude frc-fghting appa-
ratus offered small check to a fire
once ii was under way.
Many histories state that the curfew
was introduced into England by
W.lliam the CCuqucror. who in 1868
ruled that ON tn" ringing OF the curfew
bell at s p. m. all fires and lights
should be Immediately eX,iuguishcd.
students of history have discovered
traces OF a currc yuin England in much
earlier times and insist that it was in
use IN GXfCrd in the time of Alfred
