USE RECRUITS FOR MANY
THINGS BESIDES FIGHTS
IBy Associated Pressl

LONDON, Eng.-Instructions have
been issued to local recruiting officers
not to reject prospective recruit
simply because he is unfit for general
military service Men who are not up
to the physical standard required in
active campaigning will be accepted
for home service, garrison duty at
home and abroad and clerical and
ether sedentary army occupations
Also reservation is made for men cap
able of helping to build roads and of
working on defenses. This new or
der has come into effect since the
close of the original Derby enrolment
scheme, and. perhaps a large number
of rejected Derby men will now have
to be re-examined. ...-

the problem .eMnat can we do for the
soldier"
Having been in the army for the
past Is years, have found men from
all walks of life anu men who were
well educated. many who were not
only high school graduates. but from
some of the higher universities, of
not only the United States, but of for
eign countries. | have been ell over
the world, and in the cities of the
United States near where the army
posts are situated the soldier is, pro-
viding he behaves himself, thought
just as much of as If he were a civil
ian.
AS the Reader" has stated, why
don't local people try and be a little
more sociable and try and do some
thing for the uplifting of the soldier
in these islands? lie has no place to
go, no one to associate with except
the lower class OF women. and If he
does not want to go to these places or
the saloons, all he can do when he
goes to the city is to stand on the
street corner, for as far as the moving
pictures 60 we have the same in the
posts at a smaller price than Is
charged in the city.

knew that he could go to the city and
mingle with a clean and upright gath

does now, because now if he goes to
any churches in the city in uniform
he is not welcomed, and is looked up

TOXIC. Japan.-Leading Japanese
bankers have decided that a new do
nestle loan should be raised to re
deem foreign loans.
This decision is a result of the fact
that Japan has about 100000 900 in
foreign loans which mature in 1C
years. The idea is that upon the con
elusion of the European war the none
tary circulation of the world will be
come stringent owing to the financial
readjustments of the powers con
cerned How Japan tshould deal with
the situation forms difficult Ques
ton. The bankers think it advisable
to raise domestic loan with view
to redeeming foreign loans while the
money market is now in a slack con
dition. They think that the flotation
of domestic loan at this moment
would not only help adjust foreign
loans but would also moderate the
monetary circulation at home.
Acting on this conclusion the bank.
ers probably will make representa-
tions to the government In view of
the satisfactory result of the railway
bonds issued some time ago, it is pro-
posed to issue the domestic loan at
price of So IL yen, with interest at
per cent, redeemable in 20 years.

Trying to Put the Dog In the Stove.

that he had bought atropine paste Of
a druggist; also that he had won d
prize Of game in a local lottery, and
his prize was six thrushes. When the
evidence thus became formidable the
old doctor confessed, but said that he
was merely trying to play a practical
joke on Tournatoire. The courts Of
France, like those Of the other coun-
tries, had not much appreciation Of
humor, so Eustachy was convicted and
sentenced to eight years of toll with
out recompense In prison.
So this eminent physician, wearing
fetters, left the town where he had
long been honored and respected, to
take his place among felons, and all
because he could not overcome his
jealous spirit. 1t is unnecessary to
tack moral to the story.
The case is celebrated in criminal
annals because 1t is the only one Of
its kind. Doctors may. and doubtless
do, hate each other now and then, but
Eustachy was the only one on record
who tried to remove q rival by
poison.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-09-29

For many years Doctor Eustachy
had been the leading physician Of Per-
tuis, a town in the south Of France.
His professional reputation was so
high that he often was summoned to
distant places. and many people won
dered why he persisted in hiding his
light under a bushel, by dwelling in a
country village; but the doctor held
that it is better to be first in Per
tuis than second in Paris.
Personally he was not exactly popu-
lar, because Of his temper, over which
he had poor control. Small things ex-
asperated him to an unseemly de-
gree, and when he was warm under
the collar it took him a long time to
cool down. So it happened that when
Doctor Tournatoire arrived In Pertuis,
announcing that he had come to stay,
and was prepared to furnish pills in
any quantity. many Of the leading citi-
zens, who were tired Of Doc Eus-
tachy's tantrums, gave the young man
the glad hand.
Tournatoire had been graduated
from the best of medical schools, he
was highly recommended, and he soon
demonstrated that his skill was great
His manners were most engaging. and
he had a comforting way with patients
that was quite as effective as his medi-
cine. He became popular at once

old doc was convicted and fined, and
returned to his Office madder than
ever.
Six weeks later Tournatoire invited
some Of his friends to a little banquet
at his home. and ON the afternoon Of
the festive day a basket Of game ar
rived at the house. Half a dozen beau
tiful thrushes were In the basket. The
thrushes were cooked, but there was
such an abundance Of good things at
the feast that nobody ate them. The
guests dispersed at q late hour, well
fed and happy, and no doubt "One
Who Was There" wrote a story Of the
joyous occasion for the local paper.
On the following morning Doctor
Tournatoire returned from his Office
to his home ON some errand, and. upon
entering, was astonished to find his
wife trying to stand on her head. As
sisting her to her feet, he asked hef
what she was trying to do. and she
began explaining that all her relatives
were dead, her husband killed In q
duel, and she wanted to die herself.
The pupils of her eyes were extraor-
binary dilated, and she acted like a
woman both crazy and blind. The
doctor, alarmed, went into the Kitchen
to question the cook, and found her
trying to put the dog In the stove.
The dog was large one, and defended
itself heroically, but the cook seemed
to have superhuman strength, and she
considered the work of cremation
highly important. The doctor rescued
the dog, and tried to get some in
formation from the woman, but she
would talk of nothing but death. Ev-
erybody was dead, she said. and she
had received spirit message ordering
her to put the dog in the stove. Her
eyes also were dilated, and she seemed
half blind.
A layman in such a painful position
would have thought it a plain case Of
insanity, but the doctor, after a mo-
ment's consideration, decided what
was the trouble.
"They have been poisoned with sui
phate Of atropine," said he, and gov
erned himself accordingly, to such
good purpose that the two women were
convalescent In a few days.
They explained that they had each
eaten a thrush that morning. and sick
ness followed, and they remembered
no more. The doctor examined the
remaining birds, and found them sat
urated with the poison. The news waa
made public. and it was taken for
granted at once that Eustachy had
been playing another Of his pranks.
The old doctor was arrested, and
strong evidence against him soon wal

YF THE occupation Of Ruanda, Ger
man East Africa, by Belgian troops
from the Congo, and their estab-
i lishment Of a provisional govern
nent in this territory prove to be per-
nanent Belgium will possess the most
aensely populated as well as one of
he most fertile and salubriOus terri
tories Of central Africa, says a bulle-
in of the National Geographic society.
Ruanda lies to the east of Lake
Kivu, through which runs the bound
ary line between the Upper Congo re-
gion and the German possessions. To
the north lies British East Africa. The
Kagera river, also known as the Alex
andra Nile, flowing in irregular S
shape, east, north and west, and empty
ing into Lake Victoria Nyanza, is the
eastern boundary.
While there are two considerable
tracts of forest in Ruanda, the central
portion Of the territory is bare OF
trees, but on the mountain slopes there
ls to be found wonderfully rich grass,
on which Craze magnificent herds of
cattle that constitute the chief wealth
Of the natives. The agricultural possi-
bilities of the region are almost unlim-
lted.
One Of the most striking advantages
Of this territory is its high altitude, an
average Of nearly a mile above sea
level, SO that although it lies under
an equatorial sun, the temperature Is
usually about the same as that Of a
warm summer day in central Europe.
Nalarial mosquitoes are not known
here, nor does the dread tsetse-fly how

sickness to human beings and quicker
death to cattle.
Contrasts In the Natives.
Two remarkable contrasts are to be
found among the natives Of this re-
gion. The highly developed, intelli-
gent Watussi are magnificent physical
specimens, 1.-the, well-propOrtioned and
athletic. 1t is not uncommon to meet
men from five feet eleven inches to
seven feet two inches tall. On the 9TH

We see in one of these New York
papers that women have a "Heredi'

come prowling down the ages from
the time when woman was not safe

Yes, we can prove 1t. Some twenty
odd years ago or more we came face
to face with our teacher over a small
difference of opinion concerning q
matter of department. We looked her
right in the eye as lion tanners do now
in moving pictures, and we talked up
as United States senators have al
ways done. We remember very clearly
the haste with which she grabbed into
her desk for her ruler. That hereditary
fear was working. Over what fol-
lowed we draw a veil-no doubt she
did 1t In self-defense and the interests
Of culture. We are still sorry we
scared her so badly and 1t Is rather
nice to know that It was really her

and his practice grew in a manner
that must have been gratifying.
All this was gall and wormwood to
old Doc Eustachy, who found himself
almost abandoned by his townsmen.
The calls for his services became SO
lnfrequent that he spent most Of his
time in his dingy Office, calling down
maledictions upon his young rival. He
hadn't pride enough to keep quiet. He
talked of nothing but Tournatoire,
whom he denounced as a quack, an
impostor. and everything else unpleas-
ant. He became such a bore that peo-
pie avoided him, and when he went
for a walk he had the whole street
to himself. Meanwhile business was
humming with Doctor Tournatoire,
who frolicked over the countryside,
cutting off peoples limbs and feeding
them with pills, in the merriest way
imaginable.
This went on for two or three years,
and in 1884 Tournatoire was urged to
run for local Office, so he placed him

planning that he always was ready to
bleed and die for the flag at moments
notice. This public spirited conduct
was more than Eustachy could stand.
He determined to be candidate him
self, and thus bring humiliation to his
rival. He had the idea that he had
enough friends and sympathizers to
elect him, but when the votes were
counted Eustachy was the most pro-
nounced kind of an also ran. He didn't
have a look in. And he was so mad
over it that he howled like wolf.
A day or two after the election the
people Of Pertuis woke to find the
town plastered with handbills in which
Tournatoire was held up to scorn as a
moral leper, and a professional shy
ster, and a few other things. All
the wire-edged words in the French
language were used in the effort to do
him justice. The people were called
upon to rise as one man and run the
faker out of the community. Doctor
Tournatoire stood by a deadwall and
read the hand bill, and his lips whit.
ened. and q cold sweat stood ON his
forehead.

marched through the territory with an
impressive retinue of carriers in 1907-S.
In his report he said of this region:
"Ruanda is eminently adapted for col
onization by white men. The country
possesses fabulous amount of wealth
in its herds, to the breeding of which
it's pastoral people are particularly de-
voted. Also agriculture may be car
ried on in a remunerative way, for the
quality Of the cattle itself is as ex-
cellent as that Of the milk they yield.
As to the quality of the soil, it simply
leaves nothing to be desired, so that
it is evident that there is splendid
opening here for the establishment Of
business on a vast scale"
Immense Territory Involved.
When the American public reads
that the troops Of the Belgian Congo
have defeated the colonial troops of
German East Africa at Shangugu and
that the victors are proceeding south
ward from Lake Kivu in the direction
Of Lake Tanganyika, 1t is hard to re-
alize that the two colonial possessions
involved have a combined area four
fifths as large as all of continental Eu-
rope, the Russian empire excepted.
Belgium's territory alone in this quar-
ter of the globe is so times as large
as the mother country. while the pop
ulation Of the jungle wilds of the
Congo basin Is variously estimated at
from 14,OO0O 900 to 3O,0OO,O00. The Ger
man colony is nearly double the area
of the home country, while the popu-
lation is estimated at 100000. In
both possessions, however, the number
Of Europeans, chiefly officers of the
home government, does not exceed q
few thousands.
Shangugu lies on the southern shore
of Lake Kivu, which has an area al
most as large as the state Of Rhode
Island and is nearly mile above sea
level, with gigantic volcanic peaks
looking down upon it from the north.
The most interesting settlement in
German East Africa is Ujiji, town
Of 14,0O0 inhabitants, chiefly Arabs.
This slave and ivory mart Of the nine
teenth century was first visited by Eu-
ropeans in 1853, when Richard Burton
and ]. n. Speke discovered Lake

entirely to the chase. The aborigines
belong to neither of these tribes, how

sorship of the European resident or

There is abundant water In Ruanda,
the small mountain streams never rum
ming dry. When the grass becomes
parched on the hillsides, the natives
burn it OF and Immediately there
springs up fresh, tender pasturage for
the cattle.
The perfunctory salutation among
friends is one Of the interesting Gus
toms of the country. Upon meeting
