1t was three weeks ago to-day,
That first we heard the allies say,
Tomorrow morning you'll have
learned
How o Kluck's right flank .has been
turned
Somehow the turning movement stuck,
He didn't bulge, did Herr Won Kluck.
A few days later word from Paris
Announced that two new corps would
harass
Won Kluck's right wing, and rank by
rank
Manoeuvre round and turn his flank,
But these new corps had rotten luck.
It's no dead cinch to turn Won Kluck.
A week went by when we were glad
To get a cable from Petrograd,
1t said Won Kluek's Communication
Was threatened with annihilation-
But he stood pat and passed the buck,
He's got some fiank, has Herr Won
Kluck! .
And all last week our headlines
whirled
With the various ways Won Kluck war
hurled
Won Kluck's right flank was being
pounded,
Won Kluck's whole army'd been sur
rounded,
The hour for turning that flank had
struck!
But the TANKS still there, and SOS Won
Kluck. !.
SO take your Kaisers and Princes and
Crafts,
Your Iron Crosses and General Stats,
Your General Joffres and Sir John
Trenches,
With all their men in the shelter
trenches,
I'll take for. mine that game old buck
Who won't be ~turned--ja, Herr Won

TOOK THE CREDIT, ANYWAY
Man Who Had Intended to Disregard
Wife's Advice Made Her Think
Otherwise.

When am going to be extravagant
l always like the encouragement of
my wife, and l usually get it. writes
A. Edward Newton in the Atlantic
Monthly. l determined to talk over
with her a proposed purchase. Her
prophetic instinct in this instance was
against it. She reminded me that the
business outlook was not good when
we left home and that the reports
received since were anything but en-
couraging.
That amount of money" she said,
may be useful when you get home"
The advice was good. indeed. her argu-
ments were SO unanswerable that l
determined not to discuss it further,
but to buy anyhow and say nothing.
Early the next morning l went back
and to my great disappointment found
that someone more forehanded than
l had taken the treasure. My regrets
for time were keen, but upon my re-
turn to this country l found myself
in the height of the 1907 panic. Secu.
rites seemed almost worthless and
actual money uncbtainable. Then
congratulated my wife on her wisdom,
and pointed out what fine fellow
had been to follow her advice.

Made Point for Defense.

OF Sir Thomas Egerton, who was
gifted with quick perception. this story
is told: "A poor woman had been in
trusted with the care of large sum
of money by three farmers. who told
her to keep it safely until they ap-
peared together to claim it. Shortly
afterward one of them went to her
and. representing that he came at the
direction of the other two, he received
the money and forthwith disappeared
The other two brought action to re-
cover the whole deposit Egerton hap
pened to be in court during the trial
in which an intimate friend defended
the woman. Seeing that the case was
going against his friend. Egerton vol
unteered to speak as amicus curiae
Permission was granted. Emphasiz
ing the condition on which the money
was left in the womans care, Eyer.
ton said: 1T is clear that the plain.
tiffs cannot recover. because II is to
the three appearing together that the
defendant agreed to deliver the money
Where is the third? Let him be pro
duced" Thus Egerton saved the day
for his friend.

QUEER USE OF eRAMoPHoNe
That instrument 10 Not Designed
Merely for Amusement Has
Been Proved.

The gramophone is sometimes put
to strange uses. The leader Of an Al
rican hunting expedition. who set out
on motor trip from the Cape to Cairo.
recently used 1t as decoy for tigers
and hippopotami. In tiger hunting 1t
is usual to tether lamb to tree;
its bleatings attract the tiger within
reach Of the hunters. Before leav-
Ing England, the explorer had some
records made by bleating lambs, and,
says writer in Answers, he tried
them on the unsuspecting tigers OF the
African jungle with considerable sue
cess.
The record makers gained one of
their greatest triumphs when they sue
ceeded in getting good nightingale
and blackbird records. The chief diff
ficulty was the objection that the
birds had to the sounds of the re-
cording machine. The clever men got
round that by setting up a dummy
recording machine, in the horn of
which they put some of the birds IA
vorite food
get the food the clockwork was set
in motion. The little creatures soon
grew accustomed to the sound, and
SO, after much tedious and discour-
aging labor. successful records were
made. These records are selling in
thousands all over the world.
The gramophone is also of service
in more serious and more scientific
undertakings. Records of all dialects
and languages spoken in Great Britain
have been made and preserved in the
British museum for the benefit of
posterity. The people of the thir-
tieth century will know by the help
of these records just how Manx and
Gaelic sounded, and how the cockney
lingo differs from braid Scots" Sew
eral of the universities also have col
lections of the same kind.-Youth's
Companion.

Literature sert cut by the State
Teachers college gives an ordinarily
good speller the jim-jams. If sim
plified" spelling is to be used, there
should be some rstioral system in the
simplicity. On whst common sense
principle is ''scoSd' substituted for
school? Except in the mbination
"ch" or in chair, &C" always has
the sound of IS" or TX" and it would
be logical to substitute them in sim
plified spelling, as "skool," but why
not spell it "skul"? The excuse for
using these incOngrr Gus forms is that
our graduates are poor spoilers. The
