That Treacherous OmeIet.

For some time, so runs LIE Matin,
many Partisan merchants noted the dis
agreeable fact that eggs were being
subtracted regularly and with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision from their cases in
the merchandise station of Vanguard.
An inquiry finally localized the place
where the numerous thefts had taken
place, and the surprise of the police
was great to note that the perpetrator
of the greedy deed carried out his dan
gerous scheme in the station proper,
right under their very noses. Although
the strictest surveillance was exer-
cised, all attempts to secure the cul-
prit were vain. A few days ago an
employee, one Jerome Gennekerque by
name, having finished his daily work
started for home. AS he was leaving
the station, the "bon homme" had the
ill luck to fall. Immediately an I'M
slightly yellow stream treacherously
proceeded from the pockets of his
jacket, thus proclaiming the unfortu-
nate Jerome as the pilferer of the COW
eted edible. He is now taking a pro-
longed rest at the "depot."

Officers Daring Cost Life.

An accident during bombing practice,
which caused the death of Lieut..
George Stanley Charles Baker, twenty
years old, of the Duke of Cornwall's
light infantry, was investigated at
Freshwater, Isle of Wight, says the
London Chronicle.
The young officer, who had been to
the front, was in charge of bombing
class, when the last of the party, a
young soldier named Boyle, in throw
ing his last bomb, failed 10 clear the
parapet. Lieutenant Baker endeavored
to catch the grenade when ii rebound
ed, but let it slip and while trying to
regain it the missile burst and killed
him.
Sergeant Instructor Allen. who
grabbed Boyle and threw him into safe
ty, said Lieutenant Baker had time to
reach safety if he had not attempted
to throw the bomb clear. He had sue
cessfully thrown away bomb dropped
in u similar way the previous day.

Uncle Sans Chemists.

Despite the monumental work of
such government experts as Doctor
Rittmann, the discoverer of new gas
oline process; DR.. Harvey Wiley of
pure-food fame, and the whole corps
engaged in fertilizer experiments, pub
lie opinion will not give credit for
any good thing to Uncle Sans chem
lists, the Wall Street Journal declares.
After making a low-cost record for
producing smokeless powder at Picka-
tinny arsenal and producing 'dannite"
our famous secret thigh explosive
'D'"-the workers in explosives have
succeeded in producing flashless pow
der. The great heat developed in
smokeless detonations causes flying
particles to become incandescent, pro-
ducing flash, but this new explosive
produces only pear-shaped iridescent
flow at the muzZle, invisible at two
miles. At night, mask as high as a
mounted man technically known as

glow; the "defilade" required at night
for our present explosive is not exact
ly known, but artillery officers have
been known to declare, pessimistically,
that mile would be none too high.

Lot of the Poor Peasant
In ROumania Is Hard One

From time to time, since 1910, the
Roumanian government has divided
the land among the peasants. This
land, then, must remain In the family.
AS families increase, however, this
patrimony becomes less and less suffi-
cient for the clan, and there is moth
ing left for some Of them to do but to
take service out. That Is putting one
self in the hands of the manOr-lord or
his steward. The usual method Is to
assign the peasant a section of the
immortal lands, to be titled by himself
and his family and oxen on "halves"
of the crop. Over 70 per cent of the
people are illiterate, however, owing
to laxity in the enforcement of the
compulsory school laws; and so 1t re-
quires no very great degree to fleece
them out of their proper shares.
Should the man complain, no work
will be given him the next year; and
In some of the villages round Gradobor
one sees peasants, half-starved, lolling
In the little inns and gossiping, not be-
cause unwilling to work, but because
there is absolutely nothing for them
to do; and they have no money to emf
CRATE elsewhere.
On what the peasant does get, more
over, the taxes are exorbitant. A viii
lage mayor receives salary of but
$40 a year in order that he may be
forced to live from one-tenth of the
tax yield Of his commune, and so see
to it that everything is actually listed.
So where a peasant has managed to
scrape together something, it means
for him an additional tax.-Christian
Herald.

JEALOUSY AND Love
THEY ARE QUITE DISTINCT AND
SEPARATE ATTRIBUTES.
Idea That There Can Be No Love
Without Large Admixture of Jeal-
ousy Is Not by Any Means
Well Founded.


The prevailing idea appears to be
that there can be no love without a
pretty large admiXture OF jealousy, and
that, conversely, almost every case of
Jealousy springs from some misguided
love affair.
Whether this idea is the right one
or not is decidedly open to question.
Ideal love affairs preclude jealousy al
together, and where absolute trust and
confidence exist there is no room at
all for the green-eyed monster.
1t is only when the course of true
love ceases to run smoothly, or where
the passion is an unlawful one, that
jealousy creeps in lik II canker at the
root.
One curious attribute of the jeal-
RIVALS out of the way is that she gen
orally shows marked lack of brains
in her methods. Jealousy is popular
ly supposed to arouse IA diabolically
clever ingenuity In the breast of the
Jealous fair one-but, as II matter of
fact it seldom does anything of the
sort.
In my opinion, jealousy makes wom-
EN- do the most stupid things in the
world! Not only does ii blunt all
their finer feelings, but at the same
time it causes curious confusion of
mind, which fails to take the proper
grasp of consequences and which is
utterly illogical and childishly reckless
in its workings.
One has only TO glance at the daily
papers to see this fact practically illus
trated. The schemes OF the jealous
woman are the most childishly imma-
ture in the world, and in almost every
case fall to pieces and bring speedy
retribution on her own head. For not
alone does the victim suffer. The
worst generally comes upon the plot
ter herself.
Love very often does bring GER
tain amount of jealousy in its train.
But at the same time it is entirely up
to ourselves to curb those feelings and
to keep them from outward and visible
sign OF expression.
Moreover, it is perfectly true that,
although love generally does admit of
jealousy, the latter can exist and -four
ish pretty successfully without love.
A woman may be desperately jealous
of the attentions which u man pays
to another woman without in the least
loving that particular man.
Jealousy may spring from hurt
pride, or from baked hopes, or from
the fear of what people may say, quite
as frequently as 1t springs from love.
Therefore, in the last analysis, we
may most assuredly claim that jeal-
ousy and love are two distinct and
quite separable affairs.-Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Russian Enterprise.

The enterprise of the Russian peas
ants is continually giving evidence Of
the nations readiness for progress.
The phenomenal success of the con-
sumers' leagues has enabled the estab-
lishment of numerous factories and
distributing centers on capital owned
by the peasants themselves. The mis-
taken impression of the mujik as a
m0neyless dweller on the soil Is
brought into sharp contrast by the real
ization that the Russian peasant is
now thriftily investing his savings in
Industrial enterprises. Thus, the credit
society of Sapojok, government of
Riazan, has just bought factory for
the purpose of manufacturing agri
cultural machinery for $4,000 rubles.
Members of the society alone will be
employed in making the winnowing
and crushing machines.

Artist ExeeIs in Making Splints.

Here's an artist who attained fame
by deserving her art. She is Miss
Grace Gassette of Chicago, and Gen
eral Joffre has just received her at his
Headquarters, the first and only Amer
lean woman he has so distinguished.
Miss Gassette is known as the painter
OF portraits fine enough to be hung
in the Paris Scion, but 1t was not for
that that General Joffre received her.
1t was because. leaving her art, she
devoted herself to inventing devices
to make wounded soldiers more COM
Portable. So many ingenious splints
did she contrive to make war victims
easier that French surgeons asked her
to write textbook on the subject.
Not long ago she went to the front
to introduce new surgical bandage,
and General Jof1re, hearing of it, ex-
pressed a wish to see the clever young
American woman.

THE MYRNHDON.
Above us arch the spacious skies
While here and there a cloud

While here and there a cloud of
fleece
Floats dreamily, content it dies
Embosomed in aerial peace.
No wars alarm nor battles roar
Disturbs the vast of limpid blue
Here, here alone does anguish pour
It's tears, its tides of CORY hue.
Dread war, the myrmidon of Death,
The mind of man with fury fills
A madness" this indeed the breath
OF this destroyer blights and kills.
How long? we query-He who tells
The number of the stars will keep
The record dire that mounts and
swells
While children moan and mothers
weep.
