Thus when about a dozen uhlars
came and lodged at the farm there
was no able-bodied man to protect the
women. The uhlans ate and drank
heartily, then began to make remarks
which frightened the mother, who ran
to hide In the cellar. where she had
already concealed her two daughters.
Presently the uhlans began to search
the house. One came down the first
steps to the cellar and shouted in
French:
See here, madame, were there no
woman domestics on this farm?
Where are they?"
Terrified, the daughters crouched
behind a large barrel. Seeing only
the mother the uhlan disappeared and
all went away.
Nothing Is more remarkable than
the simplicity with which the coun-
try people relate their terrible expe-
riences. They utter no EXPLANATIONS
OF horror or dread, and one feels that
they are incapable of inventing the
details. They merely tell what they
have seen or heard in the same quiet
tone with which you might remark
that you had mutton chop for lunch.

Paris.-Although regimental stand

warfare have not altogether eliminat-

German regiments carry their colors

trophies, the fiercest recorded being
that for the standard of the Sixth
Pomeranian regiment, which now
hangs in the chapel of the Invalides

WORLDS RAIN CYCLE ENDS,

French Forecaster Now Predicts Sc

PARIS, October %. $40 a.m.-The
worlds rain cycle, beginning in 1902,
which the French meteorological au-
thority, Able MoreauX, director of the
Mourges Observatory. predicted as the
result of his study of the suns face, is
now. the able says, ended. He fore
casts a series, though not perhaps quite
unbroken. of twenty-six hard winters,
beginning the present year.
According to the able, it is impossi-
BILE to say where in Europe the winter
cold will be excessive: but the proba-
bilities are France will have to face
many rigorous winter seasons during
this period. He bases his prophecy re-
garding coming winter temperatures
upon the supposition that the tempera-
ture curve all over the world can be
calculated on the same principles as
the worlds rain curve.
