How He Was CAUGHT.

He had no stomach for the army,
but presented himself for examination
with sure trick" up his sleeve to
"work his ticket" He was physically
perfect, but his cycslght was shock
ing-so bad, indeed, that tie sergeant
thought the doctor should see him.
First class physically" pronounced
the doctor, but when the medical man
applied the eye tests the would-be re-
cruit's sight appeared much worse than
when the sergeant had him in hand.
mo, no, my man; with sight ike
that you're no use for the army" said
the mcdico. "But you ought to at
glasses. Stay. I've pair like micro
scopes, and If you see with them you
can have them"
The spectacles were produced and
fitted on, ana the recruit at once cried,
"Oh, ! see splendidly"
''Do you now?' snld the doctor, with
sarcasm. Take him along, sergeant,
and get him sworn In. There's no glass
in the spectacles. London TitBits.

Horrors of War

One of Germany'S most noted sur
gcons, who has spent months at the
front and in hospital service in writ
ing of the effect of the terrible strain
of war us depicted upon the faces of
those released from the firing line,
says: physically these soldiers may
he as hard aS IRON yet they are not
intact. The officers nearly always de
velop an uncanny, marble, staring look,
rs though they had been accustomed
TO gaze shudderingly AT all the terrors
and desolating orgies of destruction,
as though they had been obliged TO wit
ness this with unblinklng eyes and
finally felt that their eyes had become
Il mirror of the horrible. II is as though
the claw of a demon had seized their
faces and made their eyes sink deeper
into their hollowS. The more highly
civilized n man Is, the better educated,
the deeper his feelings, the more does
he bear the indehnable something in
his face, the sign that he has seen ter
ribe things. Christian Advocate.

WHEN FOES MEET IN AIR
German Lieutenant Tells of Engage
ment In Which French Aviators
Lost Their Lives.

zone afternoon French flyer APP
peared," says a German lieutenant.
1T circled over Douaumont and then
rose higk above the clouds. For long
time it seemed to be just hanging in
the air. And then-from our side there
arose a bMzing, fierce sharp buzz
zing, and it made straight like bee
line for the little French flyer. 1t
went through the clouds and disap-
peared. Nothing could be seen. The
clouds covered all. Five minutes OF
suspense passed, and then shot, and
after that roaring. Wexwaited
breathlessly, and then two little black
spots were seen breaking through the
clouds. Tiny little spots, and these
spots were the two French aviators.
They grew bigger as they fell. A mo
ment after the men came the flaming
machine. 1t came down roaring and
crashing. Its wings were yet on fire,
and the red, white and blue of the
tri-colors looked like revolving
American barber pole. Everything
crushed to the earth, hopeless man
gled mass. Again spot broke through
the clouds. 1t came swift and straight,
without any spectacular showing 1t
was Boelke returning home"

OLD FRIEND GONE
ED S. ELLIS, FEATHER OF THE
DIME NOVEL," is DEAD.
No Doubt There Are Many Gray
Headed and Highly Respected
Members of Society Who Will
Remember n lis Books.

The father of the dime novel died a
six. Many of us are old enough to re-
member those Bendle 4 ~Adams dime
novels with the Salmon-cOvered paper
covers, not too large to slip inside Il
pocket and hide there until favorable
chance came to devour its pages, for
our elders had strong prejudice
against the yellow backs" and be-
leved that a boy VINO read them was
hiking straight down the center of the
road to perdition.
Ed :. Ellis, the man who died re-
Gently, wrote the first of the dime nov
els that made hit, and he wrote hun
drcdS of them afterward, and many
other books beside. He was nineteen
years old when he wrote seth Jones"
in 1859, and sent ii to Beadle 4 Adj
ans, New York, who had just begun
To publish their dime novels, but had
not made Il success with them. They
saw Il winner in Seth JONES' Before
they sent it out they plastered the
painted inscriptions with the ques-
ton: "Who is Seth Jones| and
when the people had guessed and Won
dered for weeks the whole country
broke out in another rush of posters
bearing the picture of n froutcrsman
in coonskin cap, with the inscription.
Il am Seth Jones'" The book made
the fame of Ellis and the dime novel
and the fortune of Beadle x Adams.
1t was translated into II languages
and IA million copies were sold
A queer thing about ii was that
Ellis was brought up 10 be preacher
and that he was teacher of n Sunday
school class when he wrote this first
dime novel. He used to Clothe Bible
stories in imagery of his own, vivid
and exciting, and always closed the
lesson with the tale unfinished and
the remark: Boys, We'll continue the
story next Sunday" All the boys in
the village We're in his Sunday school
class.
He wrote SO many stories for boys
and girls that he lost count of them.
He was the author of the boy Pho
neer," Log Cabin" "Dcerfoot,' "N v
oming' and Forest and Prairie Sc
ries, and he wrote many serious-mnd-
ed books, such as a history of this
country in eight volumes, of which lU0,-
600 sets were sold
1t is said Of him that he was n good
man, of kindly nature; that children
loved him, and that, in spite of the
preaching that has been done against
cheap novels, there was not an immor-
al situation nor anything that would
tend to influence for wrong in the hun
dreds of novels he wrote. His heroes
were manly and clcan-minded, his NOR
ais good and he exalted the nOhler
qualities of honor, loyalty ana courage.
He said just before he died that he
did not regret anything he had written
and he felt he had contributed TO the
joy of living for millions of boys and
girls. The Star knows from expert
ence that this is true, SO here's n
wreath 10 the memory Of the father of
seth Jones'" the hero of boyhoOd

PREPARATORY WORK FOR
WINTER

What about the winter window gar
den?
Now is the time for much work that
cannot be delayed.
One of the best winter blooming
geraniums is Mrs. e. G.. Hill.
Many odd plants should now be dis
carded and new ones started.
DO not let the geraniums get leggy.
Pinch into shape.
Pinch out the buds from plants in
tended for the window garden.
Late started plants are not satisfac-
tory. Begin now.
Get your soil, sand manures and pot
ting materials together.
Clean, scour, sun and put in place
the pots for winter. Have every vessel
clean.
Use charcoal in your drainage. Dead
Goals from wood-ashes are good as any.
Repot all plants needing it, cutting
back severely. Don't try to keep every
thing.
Try to have your plants at their best
when it is time TO take them in doors.
Pinch and prune into good shape.
Drops of water must not stand on
leaves of the gloXinia, as water will
rot it.
Get Seeding primroses from the flor
list now, keep growing and thrifty for
winter boomers.
The peristrophe variegata is a good
bracket plant and a free bloomer.
For winter blooming, get dormant
tuberous-rooted begoaias; give each
tuber a pot by itself.
If one has no plants and cannot af-
ford to buy, the seedlings of many gar
den plants are easily cared for. Many
are satisfactory.
The Zanzibar balsam-impatiens sui
tara is always I'm bloom, always beau
tiful, easily cared for. A fine win
dow plant.
Slips of fuChSias, heliotropes, pctu-
MAS, coleus and other soft-wocded
plants, root readily in moist sand. Slip

THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY e. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Give the windows at which plants
are to be kept little attention at this
season. Go over the sash, and make
sure that the glass in it is well fas-
tened in place by putty. If any panes
are loose, reputty them. See that the
sash fits the frame we'll.
These little crevices are the ones
through which n great deal Of cold
may come when the temperature drops
below zero and there is stiff wind
blowing.
1t is an excellent plan to fit the
windows of the dwelling with storm
windows-storm s0shes. Not only for
the benefit of the plants, but the hu-
man occupants as well.
At windows protected by storm sash
plants can be allowed to stand against
the inner glass, on the coolest night,
without injury, as the air space be-
tween the two sashes is most eff
Gent non-conductor of cold.

Farm Lands Increase in Value

The value of farm lands of the Unit
ed States is estimated at S45.55 per
acre, as compared with S40.S5 year
ago, $40.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and S36.23 four years ago.
The census reported the value of
farm lands in 1910 as $32,40, and in
1900 as $15.57 per acre.
In recent years the value Of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
of about per cent year, or approx
mately 81 per acre per year. The eX-
ceptional increase of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac-
ton in the southern cotton states fol-
lowing temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices, particularly of
grain.

HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS

Protection is the prime requisite for
Increasing the number of birds In an
area, and the results of protection are
in direct proportion to the amount
given.
Besides insuring birds against every
form OF persecution by human kind,
we must defend them from various
natural foes. The most eifectual
single step is to provide place for
the birds free from the cats.
Although considerable lumber of

Shrubbery and trees for nesting

Roofing

sakes its place in the sun" and holds il longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft aSphalts,
and coated with blend Of harder asphal:s
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General"
is tic result Of long experience. 1t produces
a roofing more pliab'c than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
AT each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
mentor possible Improvements. Their constant
cndeavor is to make the bes, roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS years, according
to thickness Il, 2 or 3ply). Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
