the weird pantaloons I ever saw these are the most grotesque." he remarked, as he took them down and surveyed them. Riding brooches, l suppose, but my word-hey there, that you, Claribel7" f1e called, hearing a light me these pants? They have come to the wrong house. I couldn't get one leg in them"
 "Why, John, don't be such a silly! Don't you see, theyre-why they're part of my riding habit. That's all. haven't a rack like yours in my closet, and just brought them in here so that they'll keep in shape. Put them back please. where you found them!
 John reinstated them in their former position and observed while he did so that a long tailed coat of the same ma terial had been added to the contents of his closet.
 That's the top part of the riding suit, I suppose" he said.
 "Yes, and I don't want it to get all wrinkled up in my closet. You needn't whistle in that provoking way! You have loads of room here if you would only systematic things more."
 You have the real system" re- marked John, but Claribel was too far down the hall to answer.
 Sunday morning while his sister was at church. John took down two eve nlng dresses, one fur CtOak, one motor wrap, one golf skirt, one riding suit, one muslin frock, one rain coat, one mackinaw jacket and one crepe negh- gee and laid them, as he thought care fully on his sisters bed. Then he painstakingly rearranged his own wardrobe, which had been graudally converging toward the narrow end of his closet. When he again saw his garments neatly disposed, each hang ing separate and alone in plenty of space, he sighed with satisfaction and went out for a walk before dinner. It was not until after that meal that he went to his room. But when he did he was astonished to see that feminine raiment had once more taken posses sion of his closet. He called his sis ter sternly.
 Now, look here, ClaribeI, I think"
 'Tll tell you what I think, John Kay she quickly interrupted, 'T think you are perfectly horrid to heap all my incest things cn my bed the way you did in a regular mess. Of course l put them all back, and if you aren't nicer won't let you keep any of your things in that closet at all! You'll just have to put them in the hall closet with the linen"
 Well, I like that!" breathed John but his sister had marched away with dignity. Talk about an custer! Next thing she'll be dispossessing me- Chicago News.

EVERY VOTER HAS 4 DUTY,

Next Monday Norwich holds it's an- nual city election. It is an occasion Df much importance despite the fact that it is the year when the mayoralty Is not involved. There is reason for giving consideration to the conduct of city affairs and the placing of the best men in office whenever that opportu- nifty presents itself. It Is on election day that the individual has the chance 10 express his mind, to say who he wishes to represent his interests in municipal government and thereby in- dicate how he wishes it to be done The voters of Norwich should there lore resolve to go to the polls in re- Eponse to the duty which devolves upon them.
 It is not the stay at-home who con- tributes the most to his city. It is not the voter who neglects his responsi- bility who contributes anything to a business administration of city and it is not the fellow who refuses to par ticipate who is justified in sitting back and criticising when city matters do not go to suit him or are not handled in an efficient and satisfactory man ner.
 There has been placed upon the gz- publiCdi l4Ch0L tI4S year HIGH WHO dGG well known. They are men of &C., knowledged ability, who have been se- lected because they command the con- fdence of the citizens. They stand for sound principles in the conduct of the city's business and that is the big corporation in which everyone is di- rectly interested. Norwich needs men at the head of it's affairs who will give it conscientious service, who will run it economically with the community placed before the individual and who will get results.
 From the men who compose 1t, if the supporters of good government get out to the polls there can be no ques- tiOn as to the election of the repub- Hcan ticket next Monday. Desirable attachments are not secured, however, without effort.

WEAK LEGISLATION.

The nation and the various states have suffered more from half-baked legislation in great many instances than they have from the lack of laws. This is especially brought to view at the present time by the situation which surrounds the five per cent. rebate clause which was placed in the last tariff bill.
 It was passed by the house as a straight reduction of that amount for foods brought into this country in American vessels. The senate knowing this conf1icted with existing treaties changed it so that there should be no discrimination against favored nations.
 Because of the trouble which was anticipated through putting such a rebate into effect no such rebate was allowed and full customs have been collected. The matter was taken to the courts for interpretation with the result that, regardless of American ships carrying the cargoes, all coun- tries must be treated alike where treaties would be violated if there was any discrimination. Unless this decision is reversed by the higher court, which seems highly improbable, this country has in it's posssion $18,- 0O0,000 which it must return to those from whom it was collected inasmuch as the Underwood law declares that the five per cent. should be allowed, whereas it has not been.
 It is a case of enacting a law with out knowing the consequences. It is an instance where an improper amount of thought was given to what was be- ing made law. It is not believed that any such rebate was intended as the court holds must be paid, but that is what is called for by the work of congress. The revision of the tariff without the rebate was an unwarrant- ed s1ashing and to have to rebate SIS, 900, 900 more from an empty treas ury emphasizes anew the effects of weak law-making.

WHO WILL GET THE AID9

Just as long as the revolutionary spirit prevails in Mexico and that re- public is kept iE an unsettled state through war, it must be expected that maintenance must be provided for the fighters. In order to live and fight they must eat and they are going to get sustenance somehow, even if those who are not engaged in the struggle have to go without. Nothing in the eyes of the revoIutionists comes be- fore the armies
 Thus it is easy to understand that conditions are in a sorry state in that country and so long as the war con- tinues they are bound to grow worse. No one can sit idly by and know that humanity is suffering or starving as the result of the practices of the fight Ing factions and it is with it's custom ary alertness to extend relief that the appeal sent out by the Red Cross in behalf of aid for the starving people of Mexico is made. It is what is being done for the Belgians, for the devas- lated sections of Poland and for those not involved in military operations among the other countries engaged in war who are in need of assistance
 If, however, the claim is made now hat the Mexican soldiers are the cause of the distressing conditions in the republic to the south, what can be ex- oected will happen to supplies which may be sent from this country for heir relief? If the army is appro- oriating everything to its use, is it yofng to mean better support for the ighters and a prolongation of the war,

GERMANY's GUARANTEE,

Even though Germany had shut it's teeth and said nothing about it, it is impossible for it to cover up the fact that it is much wrought up over the action of Italy in entering the war. This was indicated well in advance of Italy's decision by the changing of it's ambassador to Rome and the send ing of Prince Von Buelow to lend his influence and diplomacy to the defeat of any such possibility.
 Germany, however, has not remain ed silent upon this point. It has not swallowed the bitter pill and estab- lished fashboards to hold in check it's wrath. It has on the contrary opened it's 1oodgates and poured forth its opinion in no unmistakable terms, and with Chancellor von Bethmann- HoI- veg as the spokesman before the reichstag has denounced it's former ally by declaring that Italian states men have no right to measure trust worthiness in other nations by the same measure as their own loyalty to the treaty. and that Germany, by her word, guaranteed that the con- sessions to Italy would be carried out; there was no occasion for distrust'
 Ordinarily such might be looked upon as proper attitude for Germany to take It might be safe to view it as Germany has. but in view of what has transpired in tho past ten months, there appears to be no great cause for surprise that Italy has discounted the worth of Germany's guarantee and judged it upon the same basis as others must when it made a scrap of paper" of its neutrality treaty with Belgium and declared that necessity came before law. It was at that time that Germany laid the foundation for distrust by others and Italy has not considered it advisable to ignore it or the disregard Germany has main tained for international law. Germany has suffered by it's own acts and if it is being misjudged no one is to blame but itself.

Stories of the War

tween twenty and thirty of them were killed or wounded.
 Not far from Ypres our anti-air craft guns brought down a hostile aeroplane. which fell headlong on a paraparet of the German trenches within sight of the French lines. Both the pilot and the observer must have been instantly killed. The French, noting that the falling machine was exciting considerable interest among the occupants of the enemy's works, trained machine guns on the spot and waited until a sufficient number of Germans had collected, then they op- ened fire on them"
 Continuing, the eye witness relates how detachment of Germans, at tempting to make use of their deadly gas at Ypres, were themselves suffo- cated by this gas after a French shell had burst the cylinder containing it.
 Notable among the recent German losses, the eyewitness asserts. were those sustained by the Fifty-Seventh Prussian Infantry in the action of May 16-17. This organization lost 240O out of 5000 men,
 The Germans are still extracting the utmost from the country they occupy, the recorder says. Mention is made of one incident in connection with the recent sporadic bombardment of Lens by the Allies. "Six shells fell on the Lens Station," the writer says, "and the town was fined $750 for each pro- jectile, or a total of $4,500, part of which was distributed among the sol diers. The ground for the fine was the allegation that some of the inhab- itants must have ben in communication with the enemies of Germany; hence the bombardment.
 That some of the enemy at least are not enjoying themselves in F1and- CTS is shown by the following message flung into the British trenches:
 we are too few to attack and too many to reire, and too proud to sur render but we all want to go home"
 "A few days ago kite was flown over our lines. On it was written: Please send this back when the wind is favorable. Wouldn't you like to come over here? AS you have no more ships left, won't you give up soon? We do not like it any longer
 Similar overtures have been made at different points on our lines"
 The only considerable advance by the British forces that the Eye Wit ness chronicles was on the evening of May 20, when they seized points to the northeast of the Festubert- La QuinQue road, gaining ground a quar- ter of mile deep and a half a mile wide. The German attacks to retake this terrain broke down under very heavy loss.

When the Rays moved into their new apartment the middle of last month, John arranged his wearing ap- parel in the capacious closet off his room with a sense of commodious com fort.
 This seems like living" he said to himself, as he hung each separate garment on it's own hook. "A fellow can't be well groomed when his clothes are all damned together into a two iby-four space"
 He beamed as he viewed the meta row of hangers that swung free and un- crowded i'll the light and airy closet. Indeed, he was so pleased with the sight of his wardrobe bestowed in such orderly fashion that he really hated to tear himself away from his new quarters to go to business. The moment he returned home late in the afternoon he opened his closet door to assure himself that it was as luxurious as he had thought, and he was sur prised to see a long fur cloak hang ing in the particular place where he had just lift his winter overcoat. He was just in the act of taking the in terloper down indignantly when his sister knocked at his door.
 q Just wished to tell you, John, that as you have so much room in your closet, I thought you wouldn't mind if 1 hung my fur coat there tempor- arily. I'll be sending it to storage for the summer in a few days"
 "Oh, all right, Claribe1." He hastily restored it to the hook. Say, isn't this a bully place for my duds?"
 ''Yes, indeed, all you need is some clothes. Your outfit looks a little in adequate"
 Nonsense, I've got everything I need, aud it's certainly a satisfaction to have decent place to keep things. I've often thought I'd rather have a place to put things than things to putt
 The next night when John went into his closet to get his evening clothes he was startled by the sight of a ghost like figure hanging beside his swallow tail which was now suspended from the same hook where his frock coat hung. He pulled aside the shrouding white cover and beheld what looked to him at first like a shapeless tangle of chiffon, lace and roses, but which in moment he recognized as one of his sisters dancing frocks.
 Well, of all the unmitigated nerve,' D he calculated. He moved it into the corner of the closet, leaving vacant the space originally allotted to his dress coat.
 A few days later he was astonished to find a strange looking pair of trous- CTS dangling from his trouser rack.

Effects of Turkish MiIitarism.

With the landing on the Gal1ipoH peninsula of an allied army the re- f1ective Turk is probably thinking with regret of the great days of the Turkish empire of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is a curious fact that the greatness of that empire and the decay of the present is due to the same cause.-the control of it's mill itary machine by the alien races. Just as the German today is leading the Turk to ruin, the stranger of other days led him to glory. During the great age no Turk was permitted to direct armies or govern. Future rulers were taken as boys from Christian families in Europe. made slaves, and taught the art of government with Teutonic thoroughness. Sons of these
