A Son OF Bishop Gailors
Writes OF Verdun Attack

and incendiary shells.
1.-The cathedral, with its bishops
palace and cloisters, all fine old struc-
lures, of which the foundations were
laid in the eleventh and Twelfth CEN
turtles, must from their commanding
position overlooking the town be sin
gled out for, destruction. l watched
ten shells strike the cathedral that
one morning and some of them were
the terrible $685. the shells of the
sixteen-inch mortars, which make no
noise as they approach and tear
through the ground before their ex-
plosion.
1.-THE interior of the cathedral,
blurred with halfinch layer of stone
dust, is in most "unchurchly' disorder.
Four or five shells have torn large
holes through the roof Of the nave
and twice as many more have played
havoc with the chapels and aisles at
the side. One has fallen through
the gilded canopy over the high altar
and broken one of the four supporting
columns, which before were monoliths
like those of st. Peters in Rome. OF
course, most of the stained glass
windows are scattered in fragments
over the floor, and through the open
ings on the southern side l could see
the ruins of the cloisters, with some
chairs and bed literally falling in
to them from a room Of the bishops
palace above.
This destruction of the cathedral
is typical of the purposeless barbarity
of the whole proceedings. The wip-
ing out of the town can serve no mil
itary purpose. There are no stores
of munitions or railway communica-
lions to be demolished. Naturally
there are no troops quartered in the
town, and now all extensive move
ments of conveys are conducted by
other roads than those leading through
the town. Yet the bombardment con-
tinues day after day and week after
week. The Germans are sending in
about $25,OOO,O0O worth of shells a
month. It's spite poilu said to me;
they have made up their minds to de.
stroy the town, since they can't cap
ture it-but it will be very valuable
as an iron bine after the war;"

STUART letter, little DOCK. nave
just been lying here, with dear Alice
to take care of me, Iuxuriating on
the great knowledge of getting well.
No matter how much we try not
to be egOtistic we human beings are
more or less seIf-centered. 1t is only
after countless ages Of agony and
growth when the animal develops a
soul and becomes human, that he
begins to think of the world about
him as apart from himself.
When we are in physical or mental
pain we go back to old instincts, All
the world is only a part of us instead
of our being a part of the world.
think perhaps in the last year
have lived too much in that world
Of pain to have been quite human,
but am going to come back"
Coming back to ones old self is like
coming back to- ones old home
rather disappointing in a way.
While we have been away we have
been investing the old home, the old
existence, the old self with a kind of
romance. And it is always with some
disappointment that we open the
door to our long-closed home or
shut-Up soul and enter the more or
less dusty, airless dOmicile.
Little book, l have been finding out
since I have had this operation that
souls as well as homes, to keep
sweet, must be kept open to the air
and people about them.
I am glad, little book, never &C
cepted my illness with passive &C
quiescence, for that would have been
to decay before death. Even while
was lying like log 1 seized every
minute of life and sometimes joyful
Iy, sometimes despairingly pressed
all the wine out of it and drank it
eagerly were it sweet or bitter. Every

the mere mechanism of existence,

WEIR TO MAKE HER WELL AGAIN
ing forward to most, when 1 shall be
well enough to walk, is not to dance
or go out among my own kind; it is
to get into a bath tub of hot water
and let my whole body feel its CRATE
full, soothing power.
Such a silly confession I would
not dare to make to any one but you,
little book, but am so tired Of being
washed with a rag and a piece of

want to splash my hands in it ike
child and then lie flat on my back
with my head against the hard white
enamel of the tub until my hair gets
little wet in the back. And then I
want to stand up straight and turn
on the shower, to feel its pricking
tonic all over my body-to gasp and
catch my breath at it's chill!
AS l tell you this, lite book, it
seems to me that only when 1 take
my first bath in a tub will I feel real
well again.

imal that waits impatiently for the
spring to come that it may rush to
the river, which has been for months
frozen over, and frolic in the still,
cold water.

"SOONERS" WARNED

The lakes north of town and the
meadows around them are the abid-
ing place just now of large numbers
of ducks. This is the nesting season,
and if they are left undisturbed there
will be great deal of game for the
duck hunters this fall, when the sea-
son is open. Unfortunately, how
ever, they are being hunted now, and
if this hunting continues there will
be very few left at the time when
the law allows them to be shot.
The game laws have the best rea-
sons for existing. and we cannot be-
lieve that any man who respects the
laws of his country and will give this
subject moments serious thought
will continue to hunt these birds now
when the death of the mother means
the destruction of dozen young ones
We make this appeal to the human
ity and love of fair play that ex.
lists in every heart-give these birds

Nothing satisfies the faultfnder
and no era has been free from his
tantalizing presence. The faultfind-
ers exasperated Moses on the mount
until he dashed to pieces the stone
tablets inscribed with the first written
laws of: Ged. But the Ten Command
ments remain the law of God and man.
The faultfinder is the bane of the
family circle. He undermines af-
fection, destroys peace and breeds
discomfort. He is the fly in the oint-
ment, the unwelcome intruder. He
makes the task Of the genuine re-
former more difficult. ..
He blocks the path Of progress. He
cumbers the statutes with unnecess-
ary and unworkable laws. He die
tates destructive policies to those in
authority and makes them cover be-
fore his xitriolic tongue, his poison
GUS pen and pestiferous persistence.

WRONG END TO

In commenting on the fallacy of too
liberal buying on credit the Saturday
Evening Post hits the nail suuarelv
on the head when it says: -
ut is our impression that a good
many farmers-and other people. too.
no doubt-get their cash and their
credit wrong end to. They are care
ful about making a purchase for cash.
but rather less careful about making
one on credit; they would, hesitate
somewhat longer about buying the
new implement if they were going to
plank down the money for it than if
they were only going to sign a six
months note. ~~ ~" ." -"
:;Q: course it ought to - 1last the
ether way round. A man can. afford
to take more chances with his cash
than with his credit. He ought 10
be more wary about making a'Esven
purchase when he cannot pay for it
but must give note than If he had the
money in the bank. If a man loses
a hundred dollars in cash through an
improbable purchase he has lost a
hundred dollars, and that is the end
of it If he signs a note and cannot
pay it he stands to lose finally not
only the money but his credit too.
Obviously a man can afford to take
chances in proportion to the width Of
his:margin over and above necessities.
If he makes questionable purchase
on credit he is gambling below the
margin. This will look pretty self
evident, we think, to anybody who
studies it over"

w J. Bryan may gain q reputa-
ton for hunnor, but he is likely ia
lose a reputation for .candor, if he
continues to deal with export sta:
tistics. In the last issue Of his Com
noner, in a column headed "Funny
Things" he gives several items Of
exports and says that smost Of the
increases were in exports to countries

trolled by the present belligerentsg., !"
lfls,Ithis was intended to convey the
impression that our unprecedented irfs
crease in export trade is not due to
the war, it is far wide Of the truth,
and every man and woman in the
United States knows it: 4 The farmS
ers of Nebraska know who has been
buying their wheat, their horses and
their cattle. The woolen mills Of
the East know who ordered the hun
dreds of thousands of yards Of khaki
cloth for soldiers uniforms. The
men who work In powder and shell
factories are not deceived as to the
destination of their product. Even

tion have warned American business

tinuance of this abnormal market af-

cuses his palpable Misrepresentation.
