little incident was told me by the off,

which is now being used as GONZALES
cent hospital writes correspondent
of the London Times. His hospital Is
housed in a Cistercian monastery.
Among the wounded were consid-
cradle body OF Pathans, who, after the
manner of their kind, had no sooner
had their wounds attended to than they
began to wander about the building
and explore what kind OF place II
was to which they had been brought.
They chose for this amusement the
hour-between two o'clock and three
o'clock in the morning-when the
monks we're at complins. Some OF
them even went so far as to get into
the monks beds and settle down there.
In due course the monks returned
and there was a scene of frantic ex-
element. The Pathans, seeing these
white figures walking along the cor
ridors and coming into the rooms,
thought that the building was haunt
ed by ghosts, while the monks sudden
ly confronted by crowd Of black hu-
man shapes, became obsessed with the
idea that their monastery had been
invaded by a host of black phantoms.

fury of fear at the other. Luckily,
they made such a noise that the at
tention Of my informant was attracted
and he succeeded in putting matters

Winning Philosophy.

While Francis Ouimet's golf wasn't
quite SO good, or nearly so good as
it generally is, in the recent open
championship his rare philosophy was
still better than par.
Il played badly" he said, but
could have played worse. But that
part of it didn't matter. had cork
ing good time, which is what | play
golf for | don't ever want to win an
other championship if winning one is
going to spoil my week. For some
times you can win, and sometimes you
can't, but in the end you generally get
what is coming"
When you are at the top of your
game" added Ouimet, ''the game plays
itself. And when you are not at the
top of your geme you are not going
to win, and it is worse than foolish to
fret or bother about it. since there
is nothing to be done except to take
what you get"

LEAVE NOTHING FOR ENEMY
Soldiers Are schooIed to Become Ex-
pert in the Matter Of Destroying
Weapons Of War.

Military men are taught how TO
destroy surplus stores which may be
useful to the enemy and which are in
danger of capture.
1t may be necessary to destroy
guns to prevent them falling into the
hands of the enemy, or to make cap
tured guns useless. If small
amount of dynamite or other explosive
is available of course this can be done
very effectively.
If not. the breech Of the gun is
closed and the hinge-1oints smashed
as much as possible with a handspike
or pick. II there is time a few rife
shots fired at the vital points of the
gun effectively jam the mechanism sc
as to make it useless.
With rifles, the butts are broken
off and the barrels destroyed as much
as possible. To do this the rifles
are well heated over a fire and
smashed up with heavy hammers. The
army hand books lay down that party
Of five soldiers should be able TO
destroy 90 rifles an hour.
Ammunition is destroyed by plac-
ing it in a deep pit and setting it on
fire.
Telegraph wires are cut up into
small pieces and the poles cut down
and broken up.

MANY KINDS OF ARTICHOKE
Plant Really is a Variety of Thistle,
but Man Has Greatly improved
Its Edible Qualities.

The artichoke, which originally
came from Barbary, is not botanical
species, but a variety of the thistle,
which grows spontaneously all along
the African coast of the Mediterra-
mean from Morocco to Palestine. 1t is
now cultivated extensively in France,
where those which come from Brit
tany and Algeria are the species most
highly esteemed. Even of these there
are many varieties, such as the Ca
mus artichoke of Brittany, the
bronzed artichoke of Roscoff, the big
green artichoke of Laon, and the VIC
let artichoke of Provence. There are
also varieties which come from Italy
Spain, India and Canada, to say moth
ing of the Jerusalem artichoke, IA
nous for the enormous size OF it's
leaves. In the south of France, when
the crop is abundant, the heads are
carefully picked of all their leaves, and
the hearts dried in the sun, put w
in sacks. and stored away for winter
use. These hearts, when boiled in
water, or in a rich beef broth. become
soft and recover their form, color anO
flavor. They are then taken from the
pot, the water and broth strained
away, the center is filled with forced
meat, and they are eaten either fried OF
baked.

the matter of prunes was discussed,
and the best ways and means of Grad
icating these nuisances from the board
ing house menu were considered. Ezra
Standridge, who is one of the towns
most successful boarders, stated that
prunes had been a staple three times
a day at the hash emporium which he
patronized until about six months ago.
Mr.. Standridge said that he cured the
landlady of the deadly prune habit by
the use of mice. Mr.. Standridge REQ
commended that the remains of a
shredded mouse be placed in the prune
dish of the landlady, and advised It as
a sure cure. The association will dis
