Playground Children Give Program
Before Large Crowd at Walnut HILL
One hundred and fifty children of
the various Fairgrounds gathered at
Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon
and carried out a pleasing program
of folk dancing under the direction of
Miss Marion Roberts.
The half holiday afforded a number
Of the; employees of the, stores an OPP
portunity of witnessing the dances
and they were highly pleased with
the clever manner in which the chill
dren performed.
The music was furnished by Ted"
Lang who presided at the piano.
Folk dancing has become one of
the most popular features of the activ-
tiles at the Fairgrounds this season
and the children evidence much in
terest in it. Miss Roberts has proven
to be an excellent teacher and director
of this form Of terpsichorean art.

THE GREAT SOLITUDE
FOUND IN A BIG CITY

A German girl who has lived in
New York nine years writes to a
New York paper as follows:
II live with my family, but we
have hardly any acquaintance. and
certainly none which we know inti-
mately enough to consider as friends.
While we go to theatres a great deal.
this cannot make up for the necessity
of my always going with one of my
sisters; and though ! meet good
many people in my place of business.
being a stenographer. have not ac-
compIished the task of acquiring "a
fellow as yet. SO there you are. And
the question nov is. What can one
do about IT."
There is more of the letter, which
discusses intelligently and cheerily
the problem of the lonely girl in a
great city. A great city is the great
est of all solitudes for those who
haven't the. means of making desira-
bic acquaintance and means"
means more than merely the finan-
cial well being that admits of maxi
ing friends.
Smaller cities have their social di-
visions and alignments, but they are
in many respects like one large fam
lily. All classes know one another.
individuals of all stations meet. HUI
man nature in all of it's phases is an
open book for the student. Social
opportunity, limited somewhat, of
course, by circumstances, is far
greater for the average person than
it is in metropolis.
There are certain compensations
which life offers to jewellers in small
cities that should not be overlooked |
when the question of future residenc
is under the young mans or young |

A FRENCH WINE GROWER
GOT BEST OF GERMANS
When He Turned Them Loose
On His LOADED" Wine
Cellar.

A few months ago 1t was stated II
a news cablegram that the German'
captured a French town, and de
vastated nearly all else in 1t, but
spared the brewery Now IT is re
lated that 5000 Germans have beer
killed because they drank French
wine. The New York Herald gives
the particulars as follows:
Even the wines of France are
fighting against the invader" said
Mr.. Aston Knight, painter. in tell
ing of some experiences in the zone
of operations of the Marine battles.
He related the experience of a
friend. wine grower at La Fere
Champeniose. with the Germans.
Mr.. Knights friend. who is an Off
Ger of reserve in the French army,
told his steward that when the Ger
mans came he should open all the
doors of his establishment to them.
In one corner of his cellar he care
fully walled up the best vintage of
wines. Then in another corner he
placed a great number of bottles of
very inferior wine, and walled that
up carelessly. He hoped the Ger
mans would think there was valua-
BILE wine there and, breaking down
the wall would look no further. The
main part of his cellars he kept as
usual.
Only tell me-. he said, where
the Germans go when they have got
ten through with the cellars
The Germans came, entered the
cellars and began pillaging them.
They took what they saw, hundreds
of bottles, without looking further
and left. The steward managed to
get word to the owner, who know
ing the country, informed the near
est artillery commander that he
could probably get results by she'll
inging certain patch of woods near
by.
The woods We're bombarded for an
hour with shrapnel. Two days later
when the French retook lie Fere
they found in the
woods the bodies of more than g.
600 Germans surrounded with debris
of the wine bottles. The winter had
been correct in his guess; the Ger
mans had retired to the woods for a
drinking bout and the French guns
had caught them when they were
helplessly intoxicated

UPAS TREE NOT DEADLY
Is THE LATEST REPORT

Among the ong-established beliefs
which have in recent years been
sadly disturbed is that of the deadly
character of the upas tree. The ex-
halations of this tree were held to be
so deadly that no animal life could
survive within $50 feet of it, DR..
j. D. Gimlette, an Englishman, who
has lived among the Malays for
eighteen years. cites a story that
when the poison from this tree is
wanted by Malay witch doctor,
twenty condemned criminals are
sent for it. Usually only one or
two return alive, and these are par
doned. He says that, as a matter
of fact, the deadly upas" is largely
a fake; that the tree may be chop
ped down in safety by anyone with
a strong arm and a keen AK. The
Malay smears his creese or arrow,
says the doctor, with the inspissated
juice of the tree, and if the wound
is deep enough, the poison produces
a toxic effect on the heart similar to
that produced by digitalis or by
strophanthus. climbing vine of
West Africa. which yields an arrow
poison which acts directly on the
muscles of the heart.

WHAT COULD BE DONE
IN OUR RURAL SCHOOLS

The South and the West and the
Northern agricultural States have
much TO learn in the way of rural
thrift from the New England rural
communities. The constant cry is
easier credit for the farmer, but
what the farmer most needs is more
thrift. Some of the Southern States
are cursed with crop lien laws which
are holding back the rural commune
tiles by allowing a man to mortgage
his future work and hopes and keeps
him continually in debt instead of
allowing him to lay something aside.
II is an astonishing fact that Mas
sachusetts has five times more saw
ings bank deposits than have twelve
Southern States. In Massachusetts
there are 3 100000 people and 1880
600 of them have savings bank de-
posits. In three years the savings
banks in connection with the public
schools showed $1,4O0,OOO deposits.
Every schoOl IN the rural COM
munities ought to have course OF
thrift talks" whereby the teacher
could lay before tbs scholars the
necessity OF saving portion of
Whatever money they might earn
This money could be deposited in the
savings banks and. later, wlen IL
has grown, could be used to purchase
good. nfe bonds paying three and
one-half to five per cent interest.
The child mind. as well as the
minds Of those who are Older. should
be impregnated with the fact that il
is not what one earns that makes
competency for old age. but what
one lays aside.
