"ReolcIdes" tn America.

Three of the men appointed by Oli. yer Cromwell to try King Charles fled to Massachusetts and were ill hid ing there for quite while. Cromwell appointed 15O commissioners to try the king, of whom 70 acted and 59 signed the death warrant. After the restoration 29 of those who had signed the death warrant were tried, 13 were executed. anc three fled to Massachu. setts, viz, William Goffe. Thomas Whalley and John Dixwell. They were all men of good families. stood high in Cromwell's confidence and had fought in some of his hardest battles. They lived in Massachusetts several years. in cOncealment. and then in Connect. cut, one or two of them dying at New Haven. DiXwell assumed the name of James Davids, married Massachu setts woman and reared a family of Davids children, whose descendants may still be living. After coming to this country Goffe corresponded affec- tionately with his wife in England. but never saw her again. He was buried at Hadley. Mass, where at one time he led the inhabitants in repel!ing an attack by the Indians.

When Peg Tankard Was Used.

It Is true no doubt that among tho early Anglo-Saxons-oft the same stock as the Germans-th was a great deal of hard drinking and good deal of drunkenness although after the incursions of ths Normans the habits Of the country in this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some of the reg. ulations which were adopted for the purpose of compelling thirsty souls to practics moderation At the instance. t Is said, of St. Dunstan, archbishop of Canterbury, King Edgar, for the pur. pose of regulating the quantit. a E.aE might drink, ordained that pegs or pins should he inserted In the large drinking vessels then in use. The first person who drank emptied the tank: ard to the first peg from the top. the second to tEe second peg, and so on. Anyone who went 5eyon! one pin was liable to a penalty.

Ar Scouts' Phonoaraphs.

When the military aeroplane is scouting, it usually carries two men. Ore is the pilot, who runs and steers the craft; the other Is the observer, who marks the placing of the hostile troops, the position of their guns, the movement of trains, and the like. The observer also makes many sketchea cf the ground over which he is flying work that often interfere3 with his writing notes and memoranda. In certain conditions of flight, too, 1t is often hard for him to use a pencil and paper To obviate that difficulty the military aeroplane now frequently carries a photograph, with a speaking tube running to the mouth of the ob. server, so that by talking into the machine at any time during the flight 'te can record his observations, and still have his hands free for his field glass or his sketching pencil.

Some AnachronlsmS.

It is question, parenthetical1y, whether it is truly sportsmanlike to five in quaint old colonial cottage with a furnace and electric lights. I have heard amateurs of the colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colonial cottage. The anach- ronism horrifies them: they would have death or candles. Probably they feel the same, way about a furnace and a bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this colonia! cottage would have opened their hearts to all these inventions; and I am not sure that they would have regarded as anything but funny the idea that their own kitchen paraphernalia would some day be used to decorate my dining room. I go further. Granting that electric light furnace, and a bath room are anachronisms in this quaint old colonial cottage-what am I but an anachronism myself? We must stand together, the furnace, the cleo trio meter, the porcelain bathtub, and I, and keep each other in countenance. From the Atlantic

American Literature.

If one were asked what Is the dom- 1nant tone in American literature and life, the answer would be youthful nese;' but this youth has attained all the vices of age. and has conserved . few of the charms proper to it's period. It Is very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on 'boy:sh. ness is unhealthy; more, 1t is de- prayed These boyish boys and girl fish girls of the writer and the artist are the indications Of a real cancer in American public life. Perhaps in portraying them the writers and illus. trators are describing something which 1s as true as it is detestable. The cult of youthfulness in America Is a national calamity. far graver than anything for which Europe has to mourn. Youth has nothing to give life but it's energy: it has even less to give literature. for literature is an expression of the spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate rial experience. It is not the retail. ing of petty gossip about petty peo- pie: and when this youthful energy is divorced from the control of ma turity nobody can benefit from 1t ex. cept the middleaged woman for whom American literature is now be- tug written."-James Stephens ID the CautuEy

GAS MAY BE USED
 HERE AGAIN MONDAY
Expected Red River Will Have Receded Enough to
 Permit Work Today.

Monday may see Pine Bluff peo- pie again enjoying the convenience of natural gas.
 This was announced yesterday by Manager c. E. Bair of the Arkansas Natural Gas company, following a telephenic conversation with Gen. eral Manager H. IS. Snyder. who is at Garland City, near which place q break in the main was caused by food waters from Red river.
 Mr. Snyder reported that the river was rapidly receding, and that indi. cations were repair work could be started today or tomorrow He be- lieved that the main would be re- paired by Monday, and service re- stunned.
 Manager Bair said users of gas should be carful, assuring them selves that all stop-cocks are closed. By exercising care, the escape of gas and possible accidents averted.

Why Joseph Was Sad.

Forlorn little Joseph had called upon me with crumpled note which he re. luctantly dragged from pocket. It was from the admitting agent of an orphan. age, explaining that Joseph could not be taken into the institution until his head was "cured;" and 1t gave some details regarding the family, the worthiness of the mother, and her ex. ceeding poverty. The agent hoped that l might relieve her by expediting Joseph's admission. I tried to make the child's daily visit to me interest. ing. The treatment was not painful. but the end of each visit-he. came with patient regularity every day. left me as dolorous as himself. One day tried. by promise of a present or any treat he fancied, to bring out some expression of youthful spirit all unavailinsly. But you must wish for something" I urged; q never knew a boy who didn't" For the first time the silent little lad showed en. thuslasm. "I wish you wouldn't cure my head. so needn't go to the orphan asylum. Lillian w. Wald, in the At. lantic.

UPON MAKERS OF SHELLS ENGLAND'S
 FUTURE DEPENDS
Lloyd George Pictures His Country's Condition in
 Speech to Workmen.

Manchester, England, June H. David Lloyd-George, minister of mu- nitions, the newly-cre ated office in the new coalition cabinet. in. speech here tonight, brought the most urgent message ever told a British audience. He declared that it depended more upon the masters and men of the workshops of Britain than almost upon any other section of the community, whether Britain emerged from the colossal struggle, beaten. humilated, and stripped of her power, honor and influence, and the mere bondslave of cruel mili- tary tyranny, or whether she should come out triumphant. free and more powerful than ever for good in the affairs of men.
 Referring to the fall of Przemysl, he said:
 "The Germans achieved success "a great success, not because of the superior valor of their soldiers, but because of a shower ot shot they poured upon the Russians. Two hundred thousand shells were con- centrated in the course of single hour upon the Russians.
 Had We been in a position to ap- ply the same process to the Germans on our front, they would have been turned out of France, and we should actually nave penetrated into Ger many and have seen before us the end of the war;
 Mr. Lloyd-George. referring to the proposed ccnscrip ion decree, said it would be Q great mistake to resort to conscription unless it proves ab- solutely necessary.
 The, number of recruits raised on the voluntary basis is far ahead of the equipment for them.

New Glass Cutter.

To facilitate the cutting of glass in any desired shape 6 uevice has been patented which consists of a base on one side of which is a metal groove that holds a sliding portion to which is attached a straightedge. The straightedge can be adjusted to any angle by loosening the set screw. The sliding member is made in the shape of a protractor and graduated accordingly. On the straightedge slides a member holding piece of marking chalk. In use, the straight edge is set at right angles and it's sliding member is moved to tho de sired width. By sliding the straight edge at right angles a chalkline is drawn on the glass.

BATTLE FOR SUGAR

Except for Daring Sally of French Airmen Activity on Western Front-Berlin Reports Destruc-
 tion of Ypres Church Tower.

London, June 3.-Swooping from on high in the gray light of early dawn, a French ar flotilla composed of 29 aeroplanes. this morning dropped IFS bombs on the field headquarters of the German crown prince.
 The air squadron left it's base be- hind the French line while it was still dark. and between and , o'clock appeared above the German headquarters. Amid hail of shell and shrapnel, the aviators took turns dropping their supplies of high ex- plosives and, their work ended, flew away unharmed.
 The French midnight communique received here from Paris, fails to state the location of the crown princes Headquarters, but it is be- lieved his army is now on the east ern portion of the western front
 Besides bombs, the airmen loosed hall of steel arrows, several thou sand being thrown. A number of the bombs, it is stated reached their mark, but no estimate of the damage done is possible.
 Battle For Refinery.
 Outside of this daring sally, there was little activity in the western theatre today. Violent fighting con- tinues in the German field works known as the labyrinth, southest of Neuvelle St. VaAsk. and the French report further gains in the trenches and ross-trenches of this maze.
 Berlin reports that lively fighting is still going in the region north O. Arras. the struggle for the sugar re- finery at Soachez, which already has changed hands several times, being particularly violent. At last reports the French held this position.
 Fighting Hand.tO- Hand.
 Repeated F'rench attacks in the Souchez-Neuvelle front, which as times ragged at hand to hand were repulsed with heavy losses to the at tacking forces, Berlin reports. The German war office also states that the Teuton artillery was forced to destroy the tower of the church of St. Martin in YpreS, as artillery ob- servation posts had been discovered there.
 On the British front. around Ypres heavy fighting. in which the Germans claim the advantage, has been gong on around the village of Hooge, a point strongly fortified by the Brit ish. Only, yesterday the British re- ported the capture of chateau Hooge
 Raids by German aviators in the Vosges, on the French supply sta tion at Remirec:snt, and a French camp at Holmes. are reported by Ber- lin. Bombs were dropped at both places. No estimate of the damage is possible.

 Jacques Fourner of the White Sox.
 he 1915 batting sensation of the American league. furnishes an excel batter who tries to outgue:s the pitcher-and one who doesn't. Cobb, Jackson, Wagner, Collins, Lajoie, Speaker and the other famous hitters of the present era of baseball don't try to outguess pitcher They swing at tvsry good ball that comes along, not worrying about how it is going to break. But they're always followed that course. Fournier's case is diff rent
 In 1913 Fourni>r hit for .234. Up to mid-season in 1914 Ile didn't hit much better than .250.
 And then I took tumble to my Eslf" said l'Ourner. "All along had been working on the theory that a successful batter was one who out guessed the picher. Every time I'd step to the place I'd try to figure. out in advance wha. the pitcher was going to throw and then I'd set myself for such a delivery.
 Sometimes u did outguess the pitcher. Oftener l didn't. But all ways was worried over the uncer- tainty of the guessing game. Had l guesscd wrong. or was l right? The continual worry took .ry mind off the fact that T was in there to bat not to play guessing game.
 Well one day last summer we stacked up against Walter Johnson. l figured it wasn't any use trying to cutguess him so l just walked up to the place and banged away at what he served up to me. made two home runs that day. Ever since have not been trying to do any out guessing. T keep in mind only one thing when l.g> to the place-that l must hit the ball, l think that sys- tenn has been a success"
 It surely has. Fournier began to hit like fiend from that time on and ended the 1914 season with mark of .311.
 vThis season Fournier started off at a whirlwind pace and he has been maintaining it. He swung into May with batting mark around .450 and has entered June with vsry little of it shrunken away. If he maintains his present clip he will have a fine chance to grab away the 1915 batting championship from Ty Cobb and all the others who give him battle.
