"C'etait LIE Roll"

The mere exhibition of himself to
the men in the trenches is not enough
for King Albert of Belgium. He
fights as his men fight, and he moves
about among them without the bril-
liantly uniformed staff or bodyguard
that additionally surrounds the king.
Here is a story, ringing with the
clear note of imperishable romance;
it is told by a Belgian soldier in the
Nieuwe Rotterdammer Courant:
81 was in the trench, and my broth
er-in-law was some yards from me.
Between US there was a tall officer
without arms and silent. Suddenly a
shell burst near US. My brother-in-
law was struck by a splinter, and
fell in a heap at my side. The tall
officer took up the rifle and continued
the shooting. Then he slowly left the
trench. His extraordinary calm
struck me. I ceased to fire and turn
ed to him. He also turned to me.
Mon Dieu! C'etait lie Roll" Ut was
the king. )-Youth's Companion.

Pay Day in the Trenches.

The pay department of the British
army now employs nearly 700 Off
GERS and about 1000 clerks. This is
nearly ten times as many people as
were required for the work in times
of peace. The housing of the con-
stantly growing staff of the paymas-
ter's office was one of the first diff
c~ulties, and the London main office has
moved twice since the war begun
Lately it has taken to adding private
houses to its office area. Much OF
the time since the first of August
the whole army pay organization has
worked day and night.
The soldier receives his pay, if he
wishes it, not only at the front, but ev-
en- in the trenches. The cash,in French
currency notes, is issued by his com
pany officer in the field, and is ac-
counted for on the so-called sac
quaintance rolls" Every soldier car
ries his paybook right through the
war. AS far as possible he is paio
weekly. Men in the advanced trench
es draw their pay almost as if they
were in the barracks at home.

The Spaniard in Mexico.

When Cortez landed at Vera Cruz
and in honor of the day being "Good
Friday" gave the place the sacred
name, he set the style of Mexico for
the land to be called after saints and
sacred things rather than people.
The glory of the spirit of Crusader
appealed more to him than perpetu-
ating his name as the cognomen
of country. Following in the wake of
this warlike Spaniard came troups of
friars, some of them pious and truly
noble, while others were no more hui
mar than the average type of men of
that day and generation. A Catholic
priest, Hidalgo, occupies a prominent
place in the calendar of the country's
liberators; while dreams and visions
aetuated others to explore the coun-
try and set up the cross.

FOUND THE MISSING BROOCH
Loser of Jewel Went to Work in Her
Own Way, and it Turned Out
Splendidly.

Detective work, following faint
clues, dark hints and the like, is not
the only method by which robberies
may be solved. The wife of a promi-
nent officer in the marine corps, who
resides in Baltimore and has a coun-
try place in Virginia, is authority for
the statement, and offers the follow
ing little story in proof of her c%onten-
ton.
1t seems that while she was at her
Virginia place, she one day missaI
from her jewel box a valuable dia-
mond brooch. She had the servants
search high and low for the trinket,
but it could not be found. All of her
servants except one had been with her
for years, and were absolutely trusted
by her. The one exception, a mulatto
girl, persistently urged upon her mist
ress the possibility of the brooch being
at her Baltimore town house.
"Tain't Ground heah, Mis- Alice"
mot the real name of the mistress, of
e~ourse). 81 know dat it amt Ground
heah," persisted the girl.
Whatever suspicious the mistress
may have had she kept to herself.
After a while she returned to Balti-
more. bringing her servants with her.
as you found it, Mis- Alice?" asked
the mulatto girl, after a search of the
house had been concluded.
Her mistress shook her head.
NO" said she, 81 have not found it,
Mary, but" lowering her voice and
Speaking impressively, 81 have no
cause to worry"
"Ain't you?" inquired the girl.
NO." continued her mistress. "You
see, l went to a fortune teller today.
She told me that whoever had the dia-
mond would die shortly, and that the
brooch would be found among their
effects. l only have to wait for their
death to know who took my brooch"
"Mah graciousl" breathed the mu-
latto girl. "Did dat voodoo woman
say d~at?"
"She did," replied her mistress, SOL
EMMY.
The mulatto girl p~recipitantly de-
parted, and, strangely enough, her
mistress found the missing brooch
that very night pinned to n of her
gowns,

Riley's Lost" Works.

The search for the "lost" works of
James Whitcomb Riley, which has
been carried on for almost a year in
connection with the preparation of the
first complete collection of his works
in prose and poetry, has brought
to light a great a of material OF
which little or nothing was previous
ly known. More than two hundred
hitherto unpublished poems were dis
covered. One of the most typical of
the Hoosier poets works dating back
to the earlier days of his caree is
an illuminated manuscript of a poem
entitled "Man's Devotion" Another
interesting find was a baby book con-
tanning pictures of the child friends
of the poet. He wrote a poem to each
of the little portraits.

Carpets on yemen
Bell Phone SAB

Analine dyes have not added to the
reputation of the carpets of Persia.
At n time the only dyes used in the
Persian carpet industry came from
indigo, madden, and vine leaves. From
these were evolved many delicate
shades impervious to the action of the
sunlight. With aniline dyes the col
ors fade much more rapidly. In Per-
STA you may see new rugs spread on
the 1oors of bazaars, so that many
feet may tread on them. By such
hard wear-provided the colors are
fast-the genuine article improves in
appearance, acquiring an attractive
gloss. A Persian carpet of the best
kind has a marvellous number of
stitches, and a hearthrug of pure silk
may cost hundreds of dollars.

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving memory of CHARLES A.
CAMPBELL, who departed this life
May 18th, 1918.
They never quite leave us, the friends who
have passed,
Through the shadows of death to the sun
light above;
A thousand sweet memories are holding them
fast
To the places they blessed with their pres
ence and love.
The work which they left and the books
which they read
Speak mutely, though still with an elo-
quence rare
And the songs they sung, and the dear words
they said,
Still linger and sigh on, the desolate air.
We, too, will go home DER the river of rest,
AS the strong and and the lovely before
us have gone;
Our Sun will go Town in the beautiful west,
To rise in the Glory that Circles the throne.
Until then we are bound by our love and our
faith
To the Saints who are walking in Paradise
fair
They have passed beyond sight, at the touch
ing of death,
But they live like ourselves, in Gods inf
mite care.
By his WIFE, DAUGHTER AND SON.
