MARRYING OF the nRroken Heroes. !"

yttA vi htG SsONCU TIOEOOos
A League for the Marrying of Bro
ken Heroes has been formed In Eng
land. and its founder, Bristol clergy
man, is hunting for women who are
prepared to take broken heroes to
their hearts. There is a sharp d.
vision Of opinion on this interesting
human problem among women who
lead various movements" Sylvia
Pankhurst says, Marriages ought to
be made in heaven. don't think the
league will serve any useful purpose"
Lady Limerick, on the other hand,
finds the idea splendid" and believes
that the utter darkness of these lives
can be dispelled only by woman's
love-" The Warehouses Of Townshend
calls the plan ridiculous" and would
not think much of girl who Joined
the league" Lady Byron, however, is
in favor of 1t and thinks 1T might be
carried out in all classes Of society"
We do not know yet what the
heroes" think.-Harper's Bazaar.

DOCUMENT IN AMERICA
HARRISBURG HAS A COPY OF
PENN's CHARTER.
Claim 10 That Only Three Were Made
and One, az ls Proper, 10 In Penn
sylvanla's State
Capital.

Arguments pro and con are being
heard for the determination of the
location of the genuine, dyed-in-the-
wool. original charter which conveyed
as . gift to William Penn the lands
which since have become known as
the state Of Pennsylvania. The city
OF BrOtherly Love has heard that
there is on exhibition in the city Of
Father Knickerbocker, along with
some other relics of the Quaker foun-
der whose name was latinicized into
that of the third state In the Union,
what purports to be that original
charter. And The Investigators de-
clare that what is shown is not the
charter, nor copy of the charter, but
merely a copy Of proclamation to
the Inhabitants and planters of the
province of Pennsylvania, which was
dated April 2, 1881.
OF each of the official papers con-
nected with the gift of Penn 8
Woods" to William Penn there are
said to have been three copies made.
OAS COpy VI cdCA paper WdS O0pOblt6u
in the Public Record Office In London:
one was kept by the Penn family In
England, and the third was brought
to America.
The consequence is that in the state
archives of Pennsylvania at Harris
burg there is a copy OF the proclama-
ton. In Harrisburg 1t is said also
that the owner of the collection on
show in New York is mistaken in
thinking that the original charter is
sued by Charles II for the province
is not in that city, for as matter of
fact 1t is in Harrisburg. and more
over 1t was copied in facsimile and
published by the state in connection
with copy of the Duke Of Yorks
laws for his territory, the lands that
now constitute the state Of Delaware,
and which later were decided to Penn.
There is q copy Of the charter in the
London office as q mater of course.

WHEN LONDON FALLS
GERMAN WRITER FoREsEEs TRl-
UMPHAL ENTRY.
Won HIndenburg Selected by This En-
thusiast to Lead the KaIser's
Troops Into the "Proudest
City In the World"

An anonymous German writer has
produced an extraordinary work en-
titled "Hindenburg's March Into Lon
don" says the London Times. The
book is delighting the German popu-
lace. Some extracts from the last
chapter OF the book, in which the au-
thor describes the passage OF the vast
German army through the streets of
the captured capital, follow:
The triumphal entry had been pre-
coded by a great battle in which the
Germans had dispersed the last levies
Of "decadent England At Croydon
the field marshal passes troops in re-
view. Comrades" he cries. I'VE have
the proudest city in the world in our
hands,"
The subdued lights Of the imperial
city are seen by the soldiers as they
camp on the night before the tri-
umphal entry into the outer suburbs.
The march across London bridge be-
gins at nine o'clock in the morning.
Hindenburg seated on his horse, with
Count Zeppelin at his side, watches
intently the first regiments as they
swing past doing the goose step, as
If they were on the parade ground at
Berlin. The soldiers look curiously at
the docks burning or smoldering from
Zeppelin attacks. The goal OF the
troops is st. James park.
The Wellington and Charing Cross
bridges had been demolished on the
previous day by heavy German artil-
lery, and all the traffic, tramways. ON
nibuses, tradesmen's vans, cabs and
motor cars are concentrated upon Lon
don bridge. Thousands and thousands
swarm on the tops of omnibuses In
order to get glimpse Of Hindenburg
and the HUNS" The troops march
through King William street to the
richest place in the world" that be-
tween the Mansion house, the Bank Of
England, the Stock exchange. Round
the bank the troops saw an angry mob
clamoring for money.
The lord mayor Of the dev looks
down upon the strange procession
from the Guildhall balcony, unkempt
and worried looking; members OF the
stock exchange are huddled together,
angry. but curious. Past st, Paul's,
up Fleet street, along the Strand,
through the Mall into Clubland, the
conquerors march.
Mournful clubmen peer out from
their privileged positions in the club
windows at the troops. Hindenburg
and some Of the higher officers visit
the houses of parliament, where.

months, but on Hindenburg's instruc-
tons he strikes the hours again on
this historic night.

lust LUCK"

An open-air vaudeville show was q
novelty for Quartzville and drew big
crowds. The cowboys and rustlers
from neighboring territory rode in en-
masse The less demonstrative citi-
zens took it enjoyably, but quietly.
To the rougher outside element of
the district 1t was period for gen
eral jollification.
Dan Purnell was an attendant en-
regle He had some money to spend,
and he lavished 1t on pretty Mollie
Dion until she demonstrated.
Don't discount the future, Dan,
she said in her pretty, practical way.
Remember, you are not sure of your
great fortune"

optimistic Dan proudly. why, once

WOULD HAVE GAME REFUGE
Writer Tells Of Remarkable PossibIIl-
ties Of the Gatun Lake Region
for the Purpose.

While there is little likelihood Of
any species (of fauna) living within
the Jungle becoming extinct, it would
require but little effort to make the
Gatun Lake region wonderful out
door geological garden that would
prove almost as interesting to visitors
as the game refugees along the govern
ment railroad in British East Africa.
While breakfasting on the house
boat a strange, uncouth sound came
from the hills to the west, rising and
falling in torrent of cultural notes.
It was the first greeting of the black
bowler" the largest of the South
American monkeys, whose uproarious
conduct, whether in tribal converse
ton. in protestation against man or
the weather, was source of astonish-
ment thereafter
My friend Fuertes, the bird artist
and naturalist, whose mimicry of bird
notes is quite equal to the fidelity of
his brush, declares that the noise of
the "howler" is by far the most strik-
ing sound in the American tropics,
being "a deep, throaty, bass roar, with
something of the quality of granting
pigs or of the barking below of bull
alligator or an ostrich The noise was
as loud as the full-throated roaring of
lions, and its marvellous carrying pow
er was frequently attested when we
heard 1t from the far side of some
great Andean valley.
1t Is a popular belief on the 18TH
mus that the black bowler" Is an in
fallible weather prophet. and espe-
cially so in predicting a shower.
So far as we could discover, it was
only when the clouds blackened over
head and the first preliminary drops
began to fall that this prognosticator
considered it safe to commit himself
IN the forecast.-George Shiras III, In

IRON JEWELRY NO NOVELTY
Patriotic PrussIan Woman Wore Such
Ornaments With Pride More
Than Century Ago.

Many months ago, almost from the
beginning of the war, we were told
that German women, following the ex-
ample of their great-grandmothers
voluntarily gave up their gold rings,
necklets, earrings, bracelets and orna-
ments of every description, to be
made or coined into money for the
national need.
whatever truth there may be in this
story, there Is no doubt that many
herman women have been presented
by the government with iron rings to
replace the gold ones they have parted
with.
But that happened century ago.
Then Prussia, crushed by Napoleon.
and bankrupt, was in dire need of
money, and the Prussian women gave
up all their jewels and ornaments to
help cope with the prevailing poverty.
And out Of this sacrifice a new indus
try arose.
This was nothing less than the man.
.ufacture of cast-iron jewelry to replace
the gold and silver ornaments which
the great ladies of the kingdom had
given up. At first sight no material
would seem less promising as a sub
stitute for the precious metals than
iron. 1t was entirely owing to the
wonderful craftsmanship of the iron
workers that the results were SO ex-
traordinary.
Strength, Of course, would be a dis
tinguishing mark Of such jewelry, and
a complete set of these iron orna-
ments, now in the possession of q To-
ronto (Canada) jeweler, is as rigid
and firm as on the day it was made.
This particular set, comprising a pair
of earrings, necklet, locket and brace
let's, has not been looked after until
lately.
The ornaments have wonderfully
fragile appearance. due entirely to
the exquisite workmanship. Their
weight, too, is astonishingly small, the
lightness of every article being quite
feature Of the set.

Beer Glasses to Be stsrIIIzsd.

department OF course whisky glasses
will come under the same rule.
Up to the present the karkeepers
have used only cold running water to
clean glasses after use The health
department believes this treatment is
not sufficient to destroy germs. The
new code requires not only that the
glasses shall be washed in boiling wa
ter, but that they shall be rinsed In
cold water afterward.
The same rule applies to glasses
used at soda fountains.

Leprosy In Boston.

A case of leprosy was discovered in
Boston a few days ago. This makes
two cases within five weeks. The
latest victim is a sailor, about seventy
two years old. He was born in the
United States and has followed the
sea for many years, having visited
Asiatic ports, where he evidently con-
tracted the disease. 1t is said that
hts present illness began about ten
years ago, but that he never before
applied for treatment in Boston. When
he appeared at one of the local hos
pitfalls the case was recognized and
was reported to the health depart
ment. The other case of leprosy, that
Of a dishwasher, was not diagnosed for
seven months, though the man was un-
der treatment much of the time at
the same hospital.

"The most astounding extravaganza
of the women of America is that we
spend $10,000,000 each year fol
poodles." Mrs. r. L. Barker told this
to the delegates to the annual meet
ing of the Women's International Mis-
sionary union recently in describing
how American women make the
money fly. She continued:
I'VE spend more for hats yearly
than it takes to support the army and
navy and several other federal de
partments. We also spend $107, 900,
900 for soft and cooling drinks and
SITS. 0O0,0 900 for candy. It is time tc

ways of our mothers"

Deadly Cotton.

It takes 400 pounds of cotton to
make the powder for one shot from
the Queen Elizabeth's guns. or from
one Of the German 17-inch guns. The
same quantity Of cotton would provide
ammunition for 400 shots from a field
gun, or $4,000 rounds from a rife.
Some idea Of the consumption of
cotton in the war may be had from the
fact that 1000 tons day are required
to supply the German and Austrian
armies with powder.
The British cordite consists Of two
thirds guncotton. The raw material
is dipped into nitric acid, washed and
dried. and the material thus supplied
becomes the base Of the explosive.
Guncotton can only be made from
raw cotton. Woven cotton is of no
use. and any attempt to use it would
be dangerous.-Tid Bits.

all summer and the same will be done this year"
 Manager Tinker is more than pleased with the manner in which the players have responded to his instructions. It has been unnecessary for him to up- braid any of the men for their failure to comply with his demands. They have taken to his system like duck takes to water, with the result that they are improved, disclose smarter baseball and stand a much better chance to win than they did last sea- son.
 Methods New to HurIers.
 Vaughn, Pierce and Lavender have had a hard time in pitching since they joined the Cub team. They have had their methods changed so often that it is like starting out new this year Pierce and Lavender Joined the club in 1912 and listened to Frank Chances S ideas about hurling. Vaughn came in 1913, while Evers was at the head of the club. Since 1912 the club has changed managers every year and con- sequently new instructions have been l imparted to the hurlers each year. With the different courses they have obtained they ought to know all there is to know about the art of serving to the batter.
 This season Manager Tinker took them in tow and instructed them on how he believed a pitcher secures the most effectiveness out of his assort- ment. This was new to Vaughn Pierce and Lavender, but they have listened attentively and executed the managers orders to the best of their ability, and they give promise of be- ing much better than at any time since l they joined the club.
