COURIER STRICKEN

(By Associated Press.l

PARIS, August 10-The Journal
Official" reports the exploits of Cor
poral Emile Grangeorget of the first
company of the African battalion. A
shell burst in close proximity and
threw Grandergoet several yards away.
When he arose it was in a silence that
astonished him because he saw shells
exploding all around him. He tried to
call to one Of his comrades, but was
unable to speak. The shock had rend-
cred him deaf and dumb. He had an
unfinished mission of reporting upon
the position his section had just &C.
cupied. Being unable to speak he tore
a leaf from his notebook, made dia-
gram of the position and passed it
back to the captain Of the company.

LIBRARY ATTENDANCE
GOOD DURING SUMNER
CHILDREN HAVE SHOWN MUCH II.
TEREST IN READING DURING
SUMNER VACATION

During the present summer the
Carnegie Library has been one Of the
most popular places in Americas. In
popularity has grown and not dimin-
ished during the summer and there is
every indication of an increased at
tendance during the sall.
Since the advent of August the at
tendance has increased for some rea-
son and just now the daily average is
70. One feature of the attendance is
the different daily records. Saturday
is always the heaviest day at the Ii
brary. This is due to the fact that
great many persons want to have
something to read over Sunday. Mon
day is also busy day, as many books
taken out on Saturday are returned the
first of the week Other days are
more or less variable.
The attendance record of the child
dren is one of the encouraging fea-
lures of the library work. Every dav
a number of children go to the library
and read. Others go to take out
books for home reading. The child
ren's hour has been discontinued dur
ing the summer months, but will be
taken up again in the fall when school
opens. However, the unusually large
number of children who read at the IL
brary is highly encouraging as ii
shows great interest on the part of the
youngsters of the city.
The library is an institution which
is open to the entire public Some per-
sons have an idea that the library is
expensive, that only those who pay
dues are allowed to take out books
This Is wrong impression and one
which should be dispelled at once. EY-
cry resident of the city is allowed the
privileges Of the library and all are
urged to attand oud show intarpst in
the work. The more persons attending
the more the value of the work done
Almost every month new books are
being added to the already large col
lection on hand. 1t appears that the
stock will soon be a very fine one
There are many fine books in the IL
brary and tn epublic is urged to real
them as often as is convenient.

STILL SHIPPING
GEORGIA MULES
BR|TONs ALLIES
TWO CARLOADS FROM AMERICUS
GO FORWARD.

Americas is again the shipping
point for mules purchased for the
British and French armies, and 4
second carload will soon follow a
similar shipment of the old plow-
pullers made last week The sturdy,
singful South Georgia mule is quaking
in his boots" figuratively sepaking,
just now, as he doesn't know whether
his hide will be thick enough to with
stand the bullets of the contending
armies in Europe or whether some
torpedo will send him down to form a
new diet for the whales. Agents fo-
the British government are advertising
all through this section for a large
quantity of mules and many of the
farmers are of the opinion it will be
better to dispose of their stock of them
now, save feeding them and buy more
when it is time to pillow again for the
new crops. Of course the sales will
only be made if suitable prices can be
obtained.

However, as l was saying some time
ago, Peaches and l dined with Hep and
he handed us a few lessons in the gen.
tie pastime Of tipping. he surely did.
From the very moment WI entered
the ar~istocratic beanery he began the
giving of aims.
The attendant at the revolving
doors imprisoned a nice old lady in
cell No. 8 and kept her there, cut of
from communication with the world,
while he waited for Hep to dig in his
jeans for the customary quarter.
A hall-boy, paging q missing hus-
band, stopped short as he saw our
party approaching, arranged his face
in imitation Of a Spanish mackerel,
saluted Hep and received ten cents for
his trouble.
Battling Bill, the house detective,
doomed bulkily in our pathway and
without warning suddenly stopped
down to pick up a pin. Hep did a
hoodah over the tame Cops feet and
when they both came smilingly to the
surface Battling Bill clutched a fifty
cent piece in his Westphalia and the
procession moved on.
Then from some dark recess or
niche in the wall something in brass
buttons and with a whisk broom in
it's hand darted out like a pickerel
and pointed the whisk broom at Hep.
The latter pointed a quarter at the
something in brass buttons, where
upon the brass buttons and the whisk
broom and the quarter darted away
again, thereby bringing to a conclu-
sion the incident of the pickerel.
AS we approached the coat room
the girl in charge vas seen to close
her eyes in prayer. She didn't open
them again until after Hep had ex-
planned to her that If she spent the
money he gave her for a new hat she
wouldn't have to give it to the in
come-tax gatherers. Whereupon she
was glad and showed her gum chew
ing instruments. Then she glanced
at the inside of my hat to see if it
was expensive and sighed deeply as
we passed IN.
At the door of the soup room we
were met by Effendi Bey, the head
waiter.
Hep whispered something to Eff
fendi but the Bey wasn't listening.
He was looking at Helps hand which
he knew must contain money. 1t al
ways did. Hep gave Effendi a flash
at a Treasury note. With the swift
ness Of thought the money changed
hands, ~whereupon Effendi Bey began
to hum, "In my harem-my dinky
little harem!" and turned US over to
Murad Pasha, one of his li%eutenants.
Murad Pasha led US to a table and
stood there-counting the spoons
until Hep could find another pocket
containing money.
Then Murad Pasha, clutching his
share of the plumber, with many bows
and ~obeisances, faded out of our lives
and Giovanni Handsandfetsi, the ON
