with relatives. Her husband is in the
army. She waited neal by until night,
and then, avoiding the roads, sought
the thickest parts of the forest. She
lost her way and wandered for a day
and a half with the children, carrying
the youngest, a babe, in her arms.
On the morning Of the second day
she suddenly found herself between
the fire of the French and the Ger
mans. She ran hither and thither,
maddened with fear, until finally she
met some French artillerymen, who
called to her: Come this wayl You
must be crazy! You will be killed
with your children!
The woman remained several days
with the artillerymen, who did every
thing possible to nourish the family
and find milk for the babe, which,
nevertheless, died from privation. The
men had great difficulty in tearing the
mother from the child's corpse and
they saw her walking a long time car
rytng 1t in her arms, the other five
children following her. She is now
back in her W house, not far from
Baccarat. Fright still seizes her when
she speaks of her adventure and she
dreams every night that she and her
children are under the terrible rifle
fire and amid the bursting shells.

PRACTICE SAVING IN KITCHEN
Proper Use Of "6y-Produets" VIII 20
Much to Reduce 6Ilis From the
Butcher.

TO apply a manufacturing term to
our household materials and methods
our kitchen "by-products' should be
carefully considered than they
often are; and by this expression is
meant waste materials. The by-pro-
ducts OF meat are more often lost than
those Of other foods, and this is a great
loss, since this group of foodstuffs is
increasing in expense. Bones are chief
among them, and fat. All bones NAV

gravies or soups. We must learn to
use these meat flavors to help reduce
tne cost OF living by making gravies
n vegetables more palatable.
AS to the fats, they are not always
made as full use of as is possible.
For shortening cakes, etc., for deem
trying and for soap every bit may
be used with little additional labor.
To prepare it suet is cut in small

Correspondent of the Chicago News. J
B~accarat, France.-The French and
German lines are separated by a dis
lance varying from half a mile to four
miles, and this neutral zone is tray
ersed ceaselessly by patrols of the two
adversaries, whose mission it is to
compel the other to remain quiet while
more important combats take place on
other parts of the front. However. no
day passes without rife shots and a
few shells being exchanged.
was a witness of one of these daily
combats from a distance of about half
a mile. A company of chasseurs went
forth on a scouting expedition through
the magnificent snow covered forests,
but the men were soon stopped by the
enemy's volleys. l was able to see
very little except that the entire wood
seemed to be alive and ~quivering. The
chasseurs threw themselves fat on
the snow and answered the fire. The
engagement grew in intensity and the
cannon began to growl. Then the
chasseurs having accomplished what

ly, to see what force the enemy had in
front, returned to the rear, bringing
one comrade killed and two wounded
on improvised filters made from
branches of trees. Some were sing
Ing, all seemed happy and they car
ried themselves proudly. A captain
with whom l was talking said: 1T is
difficult to believe how the instinct of
the chasseurs guides them. AS soon
as they sec a German they almost
fight among themselves for the privi-
lege of killing him. They start out on
scouting expeditions daily as one goes
out to hunt"
While shots fired by the Germans
were reawakening the echoes in the
forest we met peasants peacefully re-
turning to their homes. Many of these
peasants live between the hostile lines,
careless of the terrible dangers they
run.
One poor woman had a sad expert

near her house she set forth with her
six children, hoping to reach a distant
village, where she could take refuge

the death of a seventeen-year-old AL
satan boy in the hospital at st. Ma.

fought successfully in Belgium, on the
Marine and Ypres. At Dixmude he
was wounded in the left thigh, right
arm and other parts of the body.
The youth showed wonderful stoi-

asked him If, now that he knew what
war was, he would be willing if he
lived to undergo his sufferings again.
The boy answered unhesitatingly:
There is no doubt about it, moth

He then babe farewell to all the

BATTLE is WON BY AUTOS
Re-enforcements by Motor Turned
Scale for Germans at sois-

Berlin.-The automobile played an
important role in deciding the battle
of scissors. 1t is now learned that
re-enforcements, brought up by a col
m Of more than two hundred auto
mobiles on the night of January ~
and thrown In on the German left
flank at Vregny, turned the scale
when the Germans we're making their
commensurate and enabled them to
sweep the French from the plateau.
Hitherto automobiles have been
used by the Germans but little in this
campaign, except for the transporta-
ton Of rilemen attached to cavalry
divisions, owing to, the length of time
required for loading in motor cars
large bodies of troops, which, to a
great extent, neutralizes the extra
speed in the actual movements. On
this occasion the troops we're drawn
up four abreast in a column along the
road. As each automobile arrived men
clambered in quickly and without con-
fusion.

Last Wishes of West Virginia Man
Are Carried Out at His

Smith, a prominent team contractor
and pipeline man, in the oil fields of
West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
was carried out recently at his home

Tuesday of acute indigestion.
Owing to his heavy build, weighing
$50 pounds, IN ordinary hearse would

A few years ago, when Lord Duff
FERN became ~viceroy of India, among
his gifts was a young elephant whose
tusks had been sharpened and who
had been taught to open the daily
mail of his master. Oriental rulers in
all ages sought collections of wild ami
males whose savage instincts have in
some way been overcome and made to
do the bidding of lar In 1897 the
people of Beirut saw a wonderful col
lection of tanned animals SEN by the
negus of Abyssinia to the former sui
tan Of Turkey. I once helped tame a
small bear from Mount Hermon until
he was as playful as a kitten, though
not easily handled by reason of his
strength. The promise in this reign
of peace is not the extirpation of
predatory animals, but having their
habits and instincts changed.-Chris-

To Clean Glass oven Doors.

Glass front ovens are frequently
complained of as not sufficiently light
and clear to be satisfactory. Such
glass doors will do their duty if the
housekeeper does hers, for the glass
needs frequent thorough washing ON
both sides with some fine securing
powder or securing soap; ordinary
soap and water will not accomplish the
results desired, as in baking the fumes
and steam generated sometimes make
a coating difficult to remove. In add.
ton a small ~searchlight may be used

adoption of the spelling of Serbian"

"Servia."
The latter spelling" says the lega-

our people, mainly because it suggests
a false derivation from the Latin root,
meaning to serve 1t is a source of
hidden pain to Serbians to see that
some journals persist in using the cor

PROPOSE MONUMENT TO CAT
Residents Of Old English Town Would
Remember Feline That Saved
Soldiers Life.

London.-The residents Of the
quaint old Pembrokeshire town Of
Newport Tin England) are discussing
a proposal to erect In the grounds of
its feudal castle a monument to the
French cat which saved the life of
Lieutenant Lloyd of the Grenadier
Guards. After becoming detached from
his regiment near the French frontier
the officer found refuge in an clubhouse,
where he remained in an exhausted
condition for three days. When he
was found a cat was curled round
his neck, and his rescuers say that
but for this cat he would have per-
ished from the cold.
