decided to place an advertisement in
Illinois papers and last week he re-

was on her way to Bismarck. She ar
rived the first of the week from her

Mrs. Wright will remain with her
brother as long as necessary. Mr..
Parsley has been patient in the hos.
pital since July 20.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The widely

in aid of the striking carmen, which
was supposed to have started yester-

refused to give the public the names

The police declared they were unable
to find any evidence of a general

Physician

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 2S.-Margaret
Corey, trained nurse, was arrested
here today in the Offices Of DR.. A. c.
L. Reed, a prominent physician and
surgeon, charged in an Indictment re-
turned earlier in the day by the Ham,
ilton county grand jury, with black
mail. The arrest brought to light a
series of attempts by the police, one
of which they claim, finally resulted
in success, to obtain confession
from Miss Corey through the means
of telephone device.
In a statement directly following
the arrest, DR.. Reed said Miss Corey
had sought employment from him,
that she had been refused and, follow
ing repeated attempts on her part to
induce him to employ her, she had
threatened to bring suit against him
based on charge of immoral con-
duct. DR.. Reed stated that Miss Co
rey had confessed, while the police
were on the other end of the tele-
phonic device, listening ito the entire
conversation, that she knew the
charge to be false, but she likewise
knew he could not prove that it was
false, and she would settle the mat
ter for 100000.

Paris, France, Sept 9S.- How. after
the @fe,clstions of Tins var, any one
can take much stock in national
traits" or "nat:o.lal characteristics
is beyond me.
The war has not only upset all our
old fixed beliefs on this subject, but
has reversed them. What do you
know about that?
Coming over from New York we
had on board an English major that
Obliged those present with scenic eff
fects in khaki and decorations while
he enlivened the conversation with
peculiar gifts. He had also mus
tache that he treated with wax or
pomade or something, to make the
ends sharp-pointed like an awl, and
he greatly cheered dropping spirits
by diligently cultivating this work
of art in public.
One day the talk fell upon the
French defense of Verdun, and the
major said, without intermitting his
labors on the awlpoints:
"Ah yes-the little Frenchmen!
They've done quite well, really, you
know, considering what little beggars
they are; but, of course, we shall
have to go in and finish the job"
That's the idea-little beggars. He
believed it implicitly, and so do nine
teen in twenty Of his countrymen.
For a century and half the English
have believed the French to be a ma
ton of little folk and meager, and
have succeeded in making most of the
rest of us believe it, too. "One Eng
lishman can lick three Frenchmen,"
was the serenely beautiful English
creed after the accident at Waterloo.

And yet, in this war the true "little
beggars" are to be found among the
English themselves. and not the
French. The most astonishing thing
