DISTINCTLY A "wAR BABY"
Kittens String of Names Left No
Doubt as TO the Sympathies' of
Its Small Owner.

A certain little Philadelphia girl is
distinguished chiefly by her fondness
for cats and kittens, which she much
prefers to dolls.
Several days ago she was sitting on
the sunny steps of the front porch
tenderly nursing on her lap a coal
black kitten; very small as yet, but
sturdy and full of promise.
What a pretty kitten!" remarked a
neighbor in passing. What do you
call him, my dear?"
Il call him Allies" was the reply.
Allies! / think you must mean

with smile.

Two neighboring football clubs had

several men had been wounded and

HIS NEW

red restfulness of divan, the
stained curtains for models, the dis

mental hours, the blotched floor, the
elegance become interesting and taw-
dry, an atmosphere which suggested
the lingering of moments-it all
seemed apart from the day outside,
from tho north light peering above a
half-rolled blind.
The artist-occupant sat examining
some drawings. He was strongly built,
in his early thirties, not handsome,
but with eyes remarkable for their
glance. His face had the brood:ng,
sensitive quality. The drawings, i'm
pressions in wash and crayon, which
he went over slowly and of which
there were scores. presented an art
that only few have been capable of.
He had caught character and life in
a thousand moods and stories, had
done it with that intimacy which can
not be defined. He finished the draw
fngs with something of a sigh, then
with something of smile as his eyes
dwelt on picture set on an easel.
Slowly his face filled with mocking

satire. The painting was that of a
Voung woman done with almost IRA
aiance. 1t seemed to portray, not
aesh and blood. but the thousand
.hings of feeling which the blood
served, the throbbing music which is
played on temperament. The char
lcter was conceived and translated
poetically, but its very nuances were
striking because of the grasp of the
artist. Yet did one fancy it-did the
smile on the lips change with an inde-
Unable stain to what was coarse and
light even as you looked at it? Had
Hastings repeated gloatings Of satire

brush unintentionally brought out be-
meath everything the feminine eternal

Of bloom shown the nesting worm? In
the varied mystery of life in which
nothing dies, where perhaps even
thoughts become colors of flowers,
who can know or dispute anything?
1t was New Years day and the aft
ernoon was melting away. Hastings
threw himself on the couch and for a
long time rested, regarding the paint
ing with changing aspect. The gray
ness of thousand days seemed to set
tie over him, of drifting and not car
ing, yet carrying downward with him
that gift supreme, of knowing that
beauty was the necessary dream, but
that the world and woman always
made of it a lie. that truth could be
spoken of only after money. He could
think in those terms and yet he did
not altogether. His reed to appreci-
ate was too strong. In art, at least,
he could follow life in tone, however
deeply and personally he understood
its irony. But he was no longer sure
that he cared to follow it. The laugh
and bitterness of the intervals must
Increase. He would become a dilet-
tante, glorious perhaps. but careless.
And he would be careless, that
was the worst of it. At any rate
be could color desuetude with
bright aspect, could gamble like a
good fellow what was left. He would
lot appear hard hit.
At this point he invariably added
postscript to his thinking. If she

Coming from her, 1t was unimaginable
and left him fiat. He could not point
out that she had much money OF her

very soon, and that it was his great

IMPOSSIBLE TO
 CRUSH SPIRIT
 OF THE GERMANS
Class Distinction Is Now Wiped Out Declares Speaker in City
 of New York.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-A regener- ated Europe with a better under standing of the meaning of "interna- tional brotherhood" was predicted as one of the results of the present war by Kuno Francke of Harvard i University. in a lecture here before the Germanistic Society of America. He spoke on Germany's future
 "I know no better than any of the belligerent nations, or the command ing officers of the armies, when the war will end" said Dr. Francke, "or what will be the grouping of the world powers'
 He added however, that "only ig- norance and hatred could deny that in Germany has come the com summate ability Of greatness"
 At the supreme moment, he as- serted. every class in Germany feels itself as one"
 Dr. Francke predicted that the fu- ture would harmonize the Protest ants and Roman Catholics, as well as the various political functions of Germany. including the Socialists, to a greater extent than ever. Ger tain industries, he declared. probably would have to be nationalized for the common good.
 "I do not believe" continued Dr. Francke. the war will end with German political and economic de- struction. but should her armies be overwhelmed by numbers and money ! do know her spirit will never be crushed"
 There is li;tle hope, Dr, Francke said. that there will be less need of preparedness after the war. The vast accumulation of hatred, jealousy, and fear will make nations feel. he added. that they will have to rely on military forces to preserve peace. Germany would not disarm. he de- clared. unless she received pledges that her interests would not be jeop- ardlzed. He asserted that it was hard to see how such pledges can be given"

THE FARMER AND WIFE TEACH

the teachers supervision, the farmer
and his good wife took charge. The
farmer took the youngsters out to see
his cattle, while he explained what he
considered the best plan of feeding to
make them a profitable proposition.
Horses and mules, cows and calves,
sheep and hogs were judged for points.
Tobacco patches, cornfelds and mead
ows were inspected and estimates
made of crops still on the land or in
the barns.
The girls we're taken in hand by the
good housekeeper and shown through
her home from cellar to garnet. Her
methods of handling her milk and
cream and butter were explained in
full. Her turkeys, chickens and geese
were visited. She told them what she
considered the best breeds, and gave
them her ideas of the feeding and the
care of fowls. She even got out her
winter supply of jams, jellies, pre-
serves and canned fresh fruits and
vegetables and told her audience what
she considered the safest plan of put
ting up garden an orchard sass" so
that it would be certain to keep.
The farmers were delighted because
it made the children see the farm from
proper viewpoint. The housewives
were charmed because the children
saw how closely connected good farm
ing and good housekeeping were. The
neighbors were pleased because the
day became an informal social gather.
ing which centered about the school.
The teacher was glad to be able to
have the children busy with real
things and real problems, while their
own parents and neighbors looked on.
If every county in the state could
have a Farm Day" or half dozen OF
them scattered through the year. il
would force the matter of education
close home to every parent. AS was
mentioned above, one OF the great
stumbling blocks to definite and well.
organized advancement in the schools
of the state is that the school system
is tied up in politics. This is not the
fault of the school men and women,
but the fault of the people. If the peo-
| pie love their children, and they do,
they will see to it that the schools are
lifted out of politics for all time tc
come.
