I'VE don't know was the reply.
Perhaps In 10 minutes. perhaps In

Have you been under hre?"
I'VE don't know" said he. THE
Germans fire often, OF course. We
don't know that they have been
firing at u.s.
The officer asked for some novels.
He said he was bored.
An odd story comes from Ponta-
Mousson. At one point there the
trenches OF the two sides closely
approach each other. One morning
a German called across the 80 feet
that separated him from the French
man:
Don't shoot. want to throw you
a note"
Then he rose above the rampant
and threw over . stone to which q
note was tied. The note read a.
follows:
I'VE will attack at II o'clock. Get
ready for u.s."
At IL o'clock the Germans At
tackled. and were cut to pieces By
the concentrated gundre Of the alert
French. Ever since then the French
soldiers have been wondering why
that warning was given. The note
was not signed. Somewhere IN that
incident IL q great story.
War Is becoming an oddly matter
Of fact occupation In some parts OF
the line. At 2 o'clock each day. tor
example, the Germans shell IA

OF Elverdinghe. of course, but That
makes no difference. The old stones
are kicked about a bit BY ths she'll
ire, and the town n rendered a
! little more utterly uninhabitable
than It had been before. At Ave
minutes of two the members Of the
Elverdinghe garrison 90 into their
bombproofs, only leaving sentries
on guard. When the shell flre ENDS
they 20 out and methodically clear
the streets of the broken stone that
has been thrown into them.
This Is to be In readiness for
any German attack that may be
launched. The thoroughfares to
the various parts of the line are
kept clear. Meanwhile. day and
night, horses stand harnessed to
guns in Elverdinghe. ready to re-
spond to an alarm instantly. They
are for all the world Ike fire COM
panies on the Fourth of July. The
men sit about with blouses unbut-
toned and smoking cigarettes, ex-
hibiting that same combination Of
ennui and readiness that hremen
do. This has been the rule for nine
weeks.
Charges that the Germans have
shelled hospitals are as rule to be
taken with a grain OF salt. In most
cases they have merely shelled the
part OF town In which the hospital
happens to be. and the house Of
mercy has suffered. But In the

Zuydcoote hospital consists Of a
group OF buildings, "a In all. II has
never been used for any other pur-
pose than that of a hospital. No
other building OF any sort Is within

II could hardly be mistaken for any

said the oficer In charge. "and one

as much as it would be in the myth7 ologys ysconnected with them" RT
 In a like manner the ID physical train ing of Winifred, Jr., most modest of prodigies, who recites Cicero's ora tons to interested guests merely be- cause it is polite, and with no least desire to show off, began when she was but few weeks old. When she was six weeks old she was raised by her hands, hanging to a stick. -
 Director of Twenty-Five Schools.
 Mrs. Stoner is the director of twenty five schools in America. and one each in Brussels, Paris. Rome. London and in Berlin. And in all of these she teaches the children how to play, and teaches them more easily chan most people can fancy.
 There are five principles of educa- ton, and here the children ~acquire them in actual tuition of two hours a day. observation, intense interest, concentration, imitation and expora- ticn. These five attributes belong to education. Once child has learned them it has acquired what our educa- tional institutions primarily and fun damentally desire for it During the remainder of the day, while the child is not at school, it has acquired enough helpful play material with which to occupy it's attention until the next period.
 Public School Systems Wrong
 ''The public school systems are all wrong. They get the child when 1t is far. too old, and suddenly, without any previous training on the part of the child, attempt to force Knowledge subjects which are not interesting to it. If children do not love school that is the fault of the child but of the schools. which teach him not what he wants, but only what he does not want Everything may be pre- scented at some time in a, pleasant light to the child and everything which can be of any possible service to him at any time should be taught him."
 But it is the education of the parents, not only the mother, or only the father, but Of both, in which Mrs Stoner is interested. Such changes as individualizing the public school system, having not more than ten children for each teacher, and having better paid teachers, who are given shorter hours, so that they may be ,lrudgeS, will make a difference she thinks. Each boy and each girl should have courses in school to teach parenthood. But the real education must come from the home. e3

"CALL OF THE NORTH
 IS DRAMATIC STORY

'The Call of the North in which the Poli Players are appearing this week, in Hartford is a dramatic story that holds the attention of the au- dience throughout. Not a few. draA matists have woven stories about the call of various sections, |but the real call that took Ned Trent back into the territory .controlled.by the ddnd- son Bay company is vastly different from anything else that theatergoers have ever seen.
 Ned Trent is a courageous, herioc young man of wealth whose father has been wilfully murdered in the ter ritory which later calls young Trent into it's midst. The young man takes an oath that he will avenge the wrong done his father and he travels in the forbidden territory so consistently that the factor of the post finally sen tences him to travel the long tra- verse, a journey that means certain death inasmuch as the traveller is compelled to go on foot over 600
 miles of desoate country with but a days provisions and without a rife.

MAY ELECT GRAHAM
AS SPEAKER TODAY
Illinois House viii Meet at Four
O'Clock and Perhaps End the
Long Deadlock.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 10.-The
election of William j. Graham, OF
Aledo, as speaker of the Illinois house
at 400 o'clock this afternoon, looks
highly probable. After adjournment
of the house shortly after noon today,
after three ballots with Graham lead
ing. the Dunno democrats, led by
Michael Igoe, agreed to vote for Ora
ham.
They have a strength of fourteen.
During the morning, part OF the sew
enteen Hubbard Houston dry" demo
Gratis voted for Graham and all are
expected to do So this afternoon.
Graham has the support of forty-eight
republicans. If the democrats stand
by him as, agreed. forty-six republic
cans will be sufficient to elect.
David e. Shanahan is believed to
have blocked Graham's election be-
fore the close of the morning session
by moving a recess after the sixtieth
ballot. On the sixtieth ballot Graham
received f1fty-five votes but 1t was
imminent that the Dunno men would
swing to him If the balloting con-
tinued.
