starn In +he Davtin,e.


 'SWhere are the stars in the day tfme?" 8 child asked. and the wise man said:
 'sThe stars in the daytime are just where they are at night. and if some thing could be put over the sun we should see them again. Something is put over the sun sometimes, for the moon comes in the way. so that for a time he cannot be seen. even though 1t is daytime and there are no clouds 1n the sky. When that happens one of the most wonderful things in the world is to see the stars como out again They were there all the time. shining as brightly as ever. buf61 he sun is so very much brighter to us, because he is so very much nearer to us, that we could not see them
 When you are listening to thunder or to a cannon you do not hear the quiet sound of your own breathing, al though the thunder is far away and the breathing is near, and just as the great noise swallows up the little sound so the great light of the sun swallows up the little light of the stars "-Kansas City Star.

the British society for the prevention of cruelty to animals is called, have been waging a fight against 1nocu1a- Uon- A large proportion of army re- cruits have in consequence refused to submit to the serum. Scientific men and the army doctors then got their ire up but none went so far as Dean Inge, who prescribed hanging for the members Of the league. This brought the retort from the leagues secretary that the dean was an apostle of cowpex.''
 Dean Inge is ordinarily not a friend of science. since only a year ago he prophected the coming extinc- ton of Darwinism and atheism, which he held to be allied. On ac- count of his pessimisttc views of so- ciety, he is commonly referred to in the London press as ''the gloomy. dean."

Salvation Army Sends
 10000 Soldiers To
 the British Forces

London, March 9-The British SaI- vation Army has given ten thousand of it's men to the British army. These men are either at the front or in training. In addition, the Saliva tionists' social institutes have trained a thousand men who on presenting themselves were unfit physically and morally for military life, but are now up to standard.
 One SaIvatfonist officer has -four sons with the coIors and d daughter on Red Cross duty at the front. This daughter is herself a Salvationist captain. She is only one of the many SaIvationists working with the hospi- tai corps at the front. A dozen mo- tor ambulances are manned entirely from drivers to attendants, with members. The first five of these am balances were purchased out Of a fund of SIP, 2,50O raised by Salvatio on ists in addition to the sum of nearly $40, 1000 for the Prince of Wales Fund So efficient has been the man agement of the Salvation ambu1anc nces that one of the men was entrusted to the command of a complete anbu- lanes section of 21 cars belonging to the regular troops.

Laconic Letters
 of Baden Peasant

Berlin. May 9-An prizes for brev= ity, and a few more besides for mod esty, go to a Baden peasant who for 5ome time has been with the forces in Flanders. His wife has just made public the following 1aconic letters from him.
 The first reads:
 Dear Wife: am still alive, and have received your bundle. If the boy is bad, spank him. Greetings, Adolph."
 shortly after came a second:
 Dear Bertha: am still alive, which surprises me very much. If the boy still is naughty, spank him again. Greetings, Adolph-"
 The third communication was in the form Of a. photograph of Adolph's troop, showing him decorated with the Iron Cross. No mention, how ever. was made of the medal. and the picture merely bore on the reverse side this brief note:
 Dear Bertha: was wounded but am well again ,and tomorrow go at it again. If the boy is naughty, box his ears. Greetings, Ado1ph.s,z
 Perp1exed, the wife wrote her hAls- band demanding to know how he had received the Iron Cross, and re- ceived the following illuminating re- ply:
 ssIt was very simple about the Iron Cross. The majof ordered me to stand still, and the sergeant-major pinned 1t on Greetings. Adolph-"

The FaIkIands.

Buried in banks of fog. drencl1ed in drizzling rains. swept by bitter winds from the Antarctic, the Falkland ts- lands are surely the most dismal Of Great Britain's family of organized col ontes The rain ceases only when the wind blows the fiercest, the fog hangs low and heavy except when the gales whip it to shreds. It is treeless land. part barren rocks and part grassy slopes. A day of sunshine Is rare joy
 Tierra del Fuego is its nearest neigh Dor. The people. some 1000 in number. are sturdy descendants of Scotch i'm migrants. and the sheep that browse on the eternally damp hills are their only source of revenue Yet there is a capital, government and g6vernor duly appointed by the crown and sent to suffer virtual exile for time among the moist shepherds of the antipodes. The Falkland islands appeal to the i'm agination as the remotest. loneliest and least desirable of all lands inhabited by Europea Cleveland Plain Dealer.

London, March 9.-Daring work Of the Frenchman Pregoud is described in a Scotch ofTiced'a letter:
 ssWe often see fights in the air be- tween Pegoud and the German avia- tors,'' he says. ssAlone on his fast machine, he manages to keep it fly ing while he fires his machine gun. This Is no small feat, considering that he must let go of his levers while firing.

LONDON PAPERS MAKE CONSTANT REFERENCE
 TO DOCTOR WILSON

London, March e.-The constant reference in London papers to Presd- dent Wilson as Doctor Wilson is undoubtedly not intended, as it some times is in the United States, as a. sIurring or sarcastic allusion to his academic career Robert Donald, the editor Of the London Chronicle, a journal altogether friendly to the United States, in whose editorial col umns the title of Doctor" is con stantly applied to the president, said the title was other than most respect full and he was confident no London papers had the slightest intention of minimizing the office or the respect due it when they used this term.

With the exception of the one occa- sion in 1863. when the quotas of the states did not fill up as rapidly as de sired, there has been no conscription in the United States The draft riot in New York was the outcome Of this conscription, and, as it happened, the muster rolls were filled in the mean time without need of the men original ly drafted
