the side Of the allies.
The most significant development Of
the day was the statement here of Bull

decision would not long be delayed and
possibly had already been taken. 1t was
intimated that arrangements with Tur-
key had been definitely abandoned, and
that Turkey was awaiting Bulgaria's s in
tervention in the war as an opportunity
to sue for peace. Turkey. it is said, Is
hopeless of defense against Bulgaria for
lack of munitions.
From Rome it was reported that the
Turkish Ambassador no longer showed
his former confidence and apparently
viewed with grave anxiety the news from
Sofia He declared Turkey was still un-
conquered: that Bulgaria will join the
quadruple entente, but that his country
nevertheless was ready to face an attack

When I was a young girl was asked
to take class in Sunday school. The
first class that was given me was a
class of little boys from to 10 years
old. l suppose the superintendent thought
that young teacher could manage young
children better than she could elder
ones. There never was q greater mis-
take. Those boys should have had a
woman of years and untold experience
to guide them.
The class met in a small room on the
main room after the opening exercises Of
the school. and every Sunday for five
months / spent forty-five unhappy min
utes trying to keep it in order. / never
taught 1t anything. The first Sunday OF
two after I took it. the boys were fairly
attentive and respectful. but then my
trouble began. l noticed that one boy
seemed to be the center Of surreptitious
interest on the part of the rest of the
class. Presently / saw him take some
thing out OF his pocket and hold 1t down
by his side. close to his chair. but SO that
the next boy could get good look at 1t.
l was a little afraid of the boys myself
and did not dare ask him what it was.
l supposed that emboldened the rest
pof them, for the next Sunday they all
seemed to have something to show.
By the third Sunday there was no

antly they were taken out-birds'

feathers. nuts. even worms and dead
bees.
II was my first introduction TO the
collecting habit, and 1 did not know
then, what I know now. that it is a
phase of development through which
every child goes. II I had known, I
could have made a success of that
Sunday school class and bound those
boys to me In friendship for the rest
of our natural lives. In my ignor-
ance. 1 treated them as malefactors
breaking the moral law: as soon as
We retired to our class room 1 made
them empty their pockets and l heap
ed all the priced collections in one
mass on the deep window sill and,
at the close of the lesson hour,
swept them all indiscriminately into
