most sensntionally interesting docu-
ment the British have captured, which
is called "thc experience of the Fourth

shortcomings of every branch of the
German army in view of the uncXpect-

have shown.
The document starts out by paying
tribute to the British infantry,
(which undoubtedly has learned much
since last autumn's offensive. Ii

Explicit instructions are given in
the document to the artillery to
change their methods of placing bat
Icries in villages and behind steep
slopes, because of the British method
Of distribution of their artillery fire,
which prodigully searches all obvious
shelters. Owing to the terrific concen-

says the document, front lines of

Garden Plots and Patriotism.

We farmers, as rule, are not q
class of men who can boast Of bank
accounts upon which we might draw
to purchase American flags, so our
patriotism must manifest itself in
some other form. One of my patriotic
ueighbors, by the way. has become so
enthused over the matter of prepared
ness that he has laid out his small
farm to resemble Old Glory, seven
rows of red-top beets representing the
CORY stripes, with six rows of white
turnipS alternated between them. On
one corner Of the plot six rows Of cab
bage heads indicate the 4S stars of the
Union Jack, and on the fence post at
the upper corner of this American
vegetable flag sits stuffed henhawk
with spread wings resembling the
American eagle. This is not all. No,
indeed! He has arranged set Of
bugle calls for the dinner horn which
begin at the hour of reveille and at
which every member of his patriotic
household tumbles out. Military
salutes have taken the place of "Good
mornin', SAL" and "How-do, Hank"
and other unpatriotic expressions Of
cordiality.-Zim in Cartoons Magazine.

Make Silk Sausage Skins.

Germany now is making sausage
skins of raw silk, according to the
Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung.
Even before the war experiments were
being conducted in the making of a
hollow casing of raw silk to be filled
with sausage meat. The Elberfeld rib
bon factory Is now turning out great
lengths of this sausage casing. Just
now, however, owing to the shortage
of meat, very large quantities of cas-
ing are not needed. With the ordinary
prices Of raw silk prevailing the new
casing is no dearer than the usual sau-
sage skins.

HAPPY IN SERVICE
WHERE WOMAN REALLY FINDS
HER HIGHEST JOY.
Ambition and Success, According to
Writer, May Give Peculiar Salts
faction, but Not Always the
Greatest Happiness.

Who is the happiest woman in the
world? Is it the woman who has writ
ten a successful book, or painted a
great picture, or done some other note
worthy thing to bring her into the
public eye?
No, far from 1t. Fame never yet
made any human creature truly happy.
On the contrary, it usually seeks to
spoil his peace of mind; it interrupts
his private life and makes all sorts
Of insolent demands on his time and
thought.
When you are famous you belong to
the public, you cease to belong to the
little private circle of those who love
you.
"Oh, for quiet hour to sit down
and read a book with my family"
sighed man who Is famous on two
continents. But, no, l belong to the
public, and the public does not give
ME time to live"
Ask any woman who is doing what
the world calls great things, and she
will tell you, doubtless, that she Is
happy in having satisfied her desire to
achieve some particular thing; but II
her face glows and she cries joyfully,
81 am the happiest woman In the
world !" you may come to one Of two
conclusions: either she Is very, very
new at her accomplishment, the reac-
ton Is yet to come, or else it is some
more intimate, more personal joy than
either her book or her picture that
gives the real crown to her happiness.
Ambition is a beautiful and neces-
sary thing; but 1t Is not happiness,
any more than a ten-mile tramp Is
rest. And 1t never yet satisfied the
heart that was made for ioy--as what
woman's heart Is not even though her
joy gets half its bliss from sorrow.
Nay, the happiest woman in the
world Is not she who Is filling some
lofty seat In the full glare Of the pub
lie eye. 1t may be right for that wom-
an to be there. 1t was not meant that
all women should be happy to their
fullest capacity. Doubtless she is of
great use there. But she is not the
happiest woman in the world.
The happiest woman in the world Is
she who is contentedly serving those
she loves.
That is the truth in a nutshell and
any honest woman who looks into har
own heart with understanding eyes
will confess it,
What Is life. anyway, but servicef
All of US find that out sooner or later.
And the woman whose privilege it is
to minister to those she loyes-whose
place in the world is TO make life glad
for those who love her--is the hap
piest woman in 1t.
1t Is a privilege not given to ALL
But let those to whom it is given
the sweet homemakers, the loved wives
and mothers and sisters-awake to
their Joy while they yet have it, and
sing all through the glad days, for
theirs is the happiest lot on earth

parison was therefore easy and the

Judging from this frock, skirts re-
