MOST BELOVED CHILD

There is a homeless little girl in
Europe-a ray of bright sunshine in
the bloody murk of a great national
tragedy-who, being symbol of
sweet childbcGi, has by that very
magic transformed the world Of
Sympathetic hearts into hearts OF
children-children the world over,
who regard her as the most beloved.
She is Princess Marie Jose of Bel
GUM, exiled with her mother in Eng
land, where there are being dis
tributed thousands and thousands of
postal cards bearing her portrait;
also charming plaster busts, souvenirs
for her small friends, whose ages
range anywhere from six to sixteen.
The post cards have already circled
the earth.
This is what Lars Anderson, for
H1erly American minister to Belgium,
says of the little princess:
-. II knew the little Princess Marie
Jose when was minister at the Bel
gian court, and she was like a fairy

EXPONENT OF SAFETY FIRST

If one enters into conversation

mission, on matters that relate to his
work, it is almost a certainty that
he will talk about "safety first" for
Mr.. McChord is the leading exponent
in official life in the United States OF
the effort to make the railroads in the
country less deadly. Twelve years IS
service as member of the Kentucky
railway commission and more than
four years as a member of the inter-
state commerce commission have
made him a master of the subject.
His is the voice of authority.
In the organization of the inter
state commerce commission the work
of that body in it's administration is
divided among the members. To Mr..
McChord, when he was appointed in
December, 1910, was assigned the
safety work, and that includes the
administration of all the federal laws

memories close to father and mother,
brother and sister. We thought little
OF him at the time, as he was almost
as much a part Of our existence as
hands and feet, but we missed him
when he was gone.
He taught us many things-obedi-
ence, kindness, forbearance, cheerful
ness. charity, companionship, how to
command, respect for the rights of
others-al these and more have been
tucked away into subconsciousness
shaping our lives towards better
end. We were not aware of this at
the time, but it is true, notwithstand.

FIRST JEWISH GOVERNOR

Moses Alexander, Democratic gov.
ernor of Idaho and the first Jew to be
elected chief executive Of any of the
United States, knows that poor boys
can win fame and fortune. for that is
what he himself has done. Person

may be said to be responsible for his
success in life. Perhaps it was main

The Greatest Mistake.

It is a silly sort of pride that makes
one ashamed to own up that he has
been mistaken. No one, old or young,
is always right, and if you are ready
to admit that you are sometimes mis-
taken, why should you be ashamed to
own a special mistake. The greatest
Of all mistakes is to pretend that you
never made on Girls Companion.

MUCH LIKE THE HUMAN RACE
Made to Suffer Greatly With Their NerveO.

Except in structure, plants are much like human beings, Dr. Ja- gades Chuder Bose. Hindu physicist of the Presidency college, Calcutta, informed an audience in the conserv- atory of Columbia university. They are distressingly nervous, the least annoyance setting them on edge.
 Cold weather is nuisance to them, hot weather an atfiiction, and they dread electric shocks like a man condemned to the chair. In uncon- genial company they become easily bored and droop with weariness. and when they can't stand it any longer they have convulsions and die in ex- cruciating pain.
 On the other hand they reciprocate love and declare their happiness to those in real sympathy with them.
 Doctor Bose said he had learned these things and many nor about plants by means of machine with a "frictionless" needle, which he has invented. The machine enables him to feel the pulse throbs of plants and thus diagnose their condition.

CAME TO PREFER THE MICE
Sad Tale of Man Who Tried to Get Rid of Nuisances by Using
 Cayenne Pepper.

In this hour of changing maps and making history aud reversing eivili- zaton somebody slips in quietly and remarks that cayenne pepper is an admirable remedy for mice. All you have to do Is to scatter the pepper about the mouse runs and the base boards, and then let the sleek little nuisanccs sneeze their condemned heads off
 A man heard about this new cure some time ago He tried it.. He says that after he had gone to bed he could hear the mice gently >neeling all about the house. and for d time 1t was soothing But even the sneeze of mouse can get OH your nerves, and when the nan tired of the gentle .'kerchoos" he finally arose in wrath and his pa amas and stumbled downstairs and brushed up the scattered pepper and flung it in the ash barrel. and then went back to bed and sneezed out two lights of glass and blew a crayon portrait of his maiden aunt clear down the back stairs and half way through the china closet.
 Pepper for mice may be welcome diversion from the war news. but that's all 1t Is.

holding tiny babe in her arms,
who walked slowly away with
tears in her eyes on discov-

BY this time the townsfolk had
gathered below, beseeching the
white-faced children in the win
dows not to leap until they
brought blankets to use rs life
nets.
Some of them obeyed. Crying
and protesting they crowded tho
windows while the flames drew
nearer. Others jumped while
men below tried to catch them
in outspread overcoats.
Then the blankets were
brought. Forming ring the men
firmly held the edges of the Inn

children when they plunged from

Because there were no fire es-
capes the children were held in Z
trap without a chance. Pushing
through the flames many reached
the main door to find it jammed
with bodies. It opened inward,
and they were compelled either
to jump from the windows or
perish.
The firemen found a pitiful
sight when they finally forced the
main entrance. Piled behind IL
were tiny bodies, charrei and
crushed. Some of the children
had been suffocated. Others had
been trampled. Many were UNI
recognizable.
Sister Aldegon proved her.

flames roaring behind her,
she rescued 25 children by
dropping them from n win
