Fire Destroys Window College at
Montevideo.

Montevideo.
Fire starting in the roof of Window
college at Montevideo destroyed the
Institution and dormitory in connec-
ton. The loss is estimated at $40,-
coo.
About thirty girl students, living in

was discovered. Some were able to
save clothing and other personal ef-
fects, while others were less fortu-
nate.
The college building is of brick We
Heer. The fire department was handi.
capped, as the college is some dis
lance from hydrant. By the time
water was turned on the flames had

The coZiness of home life is SO ap-
pealing and woman's influence SO com
pelling, a man cannot resist love
words springing to his lips, asking her
to leave her happy home for one of his
making. Ere the winter evenings
have passed they have named the joy
full day. The lover who wends his
way to your firside on winter eve
nings is worth cultivating. He may
not take his girl to many balls, the
aters. or dances, but he should not
be censured for this. He is learning
the stay-at-home habit, which wom-
an may thank heaven for when she Is
his wife. Her cheerful firesde has
saved him from roaming about with
careless male companions or staying
at clubs far into the wee sma' hours.
Winter betrothals are said to be
lucky. Philosophers of old pinned
their faith to it. So why should we
doubt it? Unfortunate is he who has
no sweetheart to while away the win
ter evenings with. A man does not
need advice when he has got that far
along.

After voyaging $4,000 miles between
the United States and Brazil, both of
which countries have denied him ad-
mission, Nathan Cohen, appropriately
termed the Wandering Jew" has just
been doomed to another six weeks
trip back to Brazil. He originally
came here from Brazil, but the author
tiles deported him back to Brazil be-
cause it was reported he was mentally
unsound. Our neighbor in the south
ern hemisphere refused to allow him
to land and the steamship company
has been forced to furnish him with
passage back and forth between the
countries. He has Travelled $4,000
miles for $45, the price of single
steerage ticket, and there is little hope
that his ceaseless voyage will soon
end. The Hebrew Sheltering and I'M
migrant society has interested itself
in the case and maintains that the sea
life has made Cohen sound of mind
and it has applied to Washington to
have him examined before board of
special inquiry.

IS WELL PREPARED
Germany Thoroughly Organized
to Meet War Strain.
Neutral Observer of London Times De-
clares Empire Shows Less Disturb
ance Than Other BeIIigerents-
Determined to Fight to End.

CoIogne.-The neutral observer" of
the London Times, who has been trav-
cling through Germany, declares that
the efficiency of the people is as great
today as ever and that the force of all
the people is concentrated scientifically
on the work of defense, says dis
patch to the semiofficial Cologne Ga
zette The neutral observer, to his
great surprise, arrived in Berlin pune
tually and without mishap. He thus
describes the capital:
Il found in Berlin the cold, metallic,
precise click of a great machine, not
the throbbing heart of an empire. 1t is
the most magnificent organization the
world has ever seen. 1t is man reduced
to an equation of efficiency. Of each in
dividual is required about one-half the
effort of which he is capable. The re-
suit is that not only is the nation am
ply provided for any emergency, but
ordinary life is less disturbed than in
any other belligerent country.
after six months of war Germany
seems to me almost as strong as on
the first day, closely united, little dis
turbed. The civil life of the nation
appears to continue as in time of
peace.
TO underestimate Germany's mill
tary reserve would be very shortsight-
ed. Military authorities state that her
class of 1915, some 100000 ablebodied.
picked men, has not been called out.
Apart from these, the numbers Of 'un-
trained landwehr and landsturm would
run into millions. Though arms and
ammunition factories are working day
and night, l have it from a reliable
source that Germany is only just be-
ginning to use her 1914 small arms
ammunition.
Every possible effort is being made
to preserve for the future such perish
able stores as are now in the market.
1t has been carefully determined
whether, under given conditions, it
will be more advantageous to keep a
COW alive and obtain milk, butter and

consume and which might be of great

LACONIC AND MODEST ADOLPH
Baden Private's Directions to Wife to
Keep Boy Well
Spanked.

Berlin.-Prizes for brevity, and a
few more besides for modesty, go to
a Baden peasant, who for some time
has been with the forces in Flanders.
His wife has just made public the fol-
lowing laconic 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 second:
Dear Bertha: am still alive, which
surprises me very much. If the boy
still is naughty, spank him again.
Greetings. Adolph."
The third was in the form of a
photograph of Adolph's troop showing
him decorated with the iron cross. No
mention, however, was made of the
medal, and the picture merely bore on
the reverse side this brief note:
Dear Bertha: / was wounded but
am we'll again, and tomorrow go at it
again. If the boy is naughty, box his
ears. Greetings. Adolph."
Perplexed, the wife wrote her hus-
band demanding to know how he had
received the iron cross, and received
the following reply:
"It was very simple about the iron
cross. The major ordered me to stand
still, and the sergeant-major pinned it
on. Greetings. Adolph."

man when he calls. If after repeated
visits, he should take it upon himself
to make too ardent love to her the
mother tells her how she must behave
to subdue his impetuosity; what she
must do if he insists upon holding her
hand when he bids her good-by at the
door.
The timidity of such girl increases
under such tutelage. She is always
in terror lest she will not say or do
the right things. She has not the abil-
ity to decide in a critical moment what
is the right course to pursue. She has
not had an opportunity to talk it over
with mother.
There's another class of girls who
take quite different viewpoint as to
their heart affairs and what is best
for them. They argue that they can
discriminate as to what young men
should be their associates, and as to
those whom they should turn down,
the delicacy of the courtship preced-
ing the marriage proposal; how to act
bold; when to speak, when to remain
silent; just how to touch the silver
cord that will win for herself hus-
band.
Who shall say which is best for any
one mother to do-coach her daughter
or depend upon her to rely upon her
own experience to guide her. She
knows how she won her heart mate.
She has heard her husband discourse
on this subject from a mans point
of view, while he laughed and told
her of the stories he had snapped
with other men. This gives woman
insight into a mans character which
she could not otherwise possess.
The experienced mother unerringly
divines a mans intentions as to
whether he is on marriage intent, or
only fooling time away. The ineXpe-
rienced daughter can simply guess.
She learns too late, if she has been
entertaining a tickle lover, when he
gives her up without ado and HES to
new sweetheart. Summing up the
situation, it would seem that if a girl
is old enough and sensible enough to
have beau, the reins should be put
in her hands for guiding him. 1t is
she who will have to live with him if
they wed. A word of motherly coun-
sci now and then if she is in doubt,
should be sought, appreciated and &C
cepted. Lovemaking is not always the
same. Each case is law unto itself.
Much depends upon the lover. Most
men are honest and true in lovemak-
ing. They uphold innocence and pur-
ity in women, the rosebloom which
jewels existence. Rascals in winning
hearts are few and far between, moth
ers find.

MEN IN HALL BEDROOMS.

Impelfd with steps unceasing to pursue
Some f1eeting good, that mocks me with
the view;
That, like the circle bounding earth and
skies,
Allures from far, yet as I follow flies.
When your pity is aroused by the
lonely bachelor, who infers that he
has dreary life of it and is unutter-
ably lonely in the comfortable hall
room of boarding house, size up his
situation in this wise: A man is sell
dom or never bachelor save by his
own free will. He has lodged Cupid
whenever he has seen him approach
ing with his arrow pointed toward him.
If he showed an inclination to be pleas
ant toward women, there would be
plenty of doors thrown open to him to
dine or pass the evening.
The rosy freight glow and pleas
ant woman sitting opposite him has
had no charm for him or his heart
would have been warmed toward such
home picture, which many woman
whom he has met has probably uncon-
sciously suggested. He has knowingly,
aye, willingly. passed by opportunities.
Modest women can do no more than
to smile at him with their bright eyes
when they meet him and extend him
an invitation to call. They would
willingly get up just such appetizing
dishes as he would like if he were to
be at their table. No one knows bet
ter than the single man that no mat
ter where he would choose to dine,
whether it be at restaurants or hotels,
he is expected to select what he wants
with dispatch and make no delay in
getting through with as little time as
possible. There's hungry crowd Of
people ready to dine standing in line
waiting for his place. No one bids
him welcome as he enters or expresses
the hope that he will soon come again
when he takes his departure.
He goes out into the storm with no
one to care whether he has an UNI
brella or what becomes of him. How
different had he been dining with
some sweet woman who was interest
ed in his welfare. How gratifying to
know that there was no undue haste
and that he could take time to enjoy
the wholesome, appetizing home cook
ing set before him. Who but woman
interested in him would be anxious to
know if he were pleased with his din
ner or not, glad to have him linger as
long as he would at the table?
Every single man understands both
sides of the picture. He knows better
than you can tell him that his loneli-
ness is self-inficted. He who gives
himself up to day dreaming over the
happiness of others and his own dis
comforts should remember that he is
the architect of his own good or ILL
fortune. Even that hall bedroom with
a wife beside him to love him would
be changed from cold and gloom to
a veritable coy paradise. Two can
live with economy with but little more
expense than will keep one, with no
regrets, the joy of loving being theirs

How Birds Eqqs Are Marked.

Even the same kind of bird often
lays eggs that show a great difference
in their marking. And often this is
true of the same individual bird. At
least one long, infertile egg is included
in the clutch of house sparrow, be-
sides several eggs that are of a dark
er or lighter shade than the others
One may find a dozen clutches that
contain some one type quite different
from the rest.
The tree sparrow also lays one al
ways different from the others in the
clutch. Some birds always lay an I'M
colored egg, such as the golden eagle,
osprey and others. Some birds eggs
vary much more than others In color
and markings. A result of experience
shows that the following are among
the common birds that lay eggs which
vary considerably: Robin, linnet,
rock, skylark, cuckoo, hawk and
snipe.

Politics Not for Father.

According to DR.. Hadley of Yale,
''the man who makes politics profess
sion and has wife and children will
have the choice of doing that which is
not quite right and staying in office
or doing that which is right and get
ting out of office, permitting his wife
and children to starve."
The statement is somewhat large
and professional, but if taken as SOL
emn truth, the moral seems to be that
politicians should be bachelors.-New

If it's a stormy winter night, the
woman who is expecting her would-be
sutton to pay her a call is fearful lest
he will Tot venture, out. This fear
shows how little most women under
stand the heart of man.
The worse the evening the more a
man longs for the warmth, comfort,
and companionship of some nice, pleas
ant woman in her coy parlor. His
boarding place offers little or no at
traction; his room is cherries. Books
do not warm his heart, but the gentle
clasp of woman's hand in his has
that effect. The glow of the freight
easy, comfy chairs have delightful,
cheering influence over him. It gives
him a taste of home life, no matter
how much of rover he is inclined to
be. Even the plainest of women will
look fair to him as he watches her
homelike, domesticated feminine ways
Although he may have dined late,

It may be only sandwiches or crackers

cup of tea; but they taste like am
brosia to the world-weary man who
dimes at club, restaurant, or boarding
place. He wishes from the depth of
his heart that the hands Of the clock
would not go round so fast those coy
winter evenings.
If he does overstay by half an hour
or so the proper hour for leaving, who
can blame him? 1t is hard for a man
to tear himself away from warmth and
genial companionship that is slowly
but surely resolving itself into the one
great love Of mans life to go forth
and face the cold and the storm. it is
no wonder that winter evenings draw
beaux TO women's sides; that constant

feel the irresistible charm of the 9th
