COARSE Joke IS PUNISHED

Made Him See Things In
Different Light.

Some years ago II was the custom
IN France to conduct condemned GRIM

spectators to the public guillotIne.
On one such occasion, the unfor-
tunate, seated upon his coffin In the
cart, heard wouId-be wit In the
crowd remark to companion:
"Well, I'll bet utat fellow doesn't
feel much like laughing"
The coarse attempt at joke stung
the prisoner, and when he arrived at
the scaffold, he asked that the proceed
ings might be stayed a moment as he
had confession to make.

Great excitement ensued.
The person designated was seized BY
the gendarmes with no gentle hands
and placed on the scaffold beside his
accusef.
Such a fearful spectacle Of abject
terror as the Joker presented was
never before Witnessed in that SOM
Der locality.
After enjoying his helpless fright
for a few moments, the fated convict
said to the Official In charge:
HE tried to make sport Of my suf-
ferings, but the man is innocent. And
as soon as he seemed to be sure that It
was no laughing matter for me to be
here. was curious to see how much
such funny fellow would laugh IN

In Spain the outer bark is harvested
from the same tree once every nine or

trees that are fifty to one hundred

Much Work to Mako Helmet.

Sixty-four distinct operations are
necessary in turning out one of the
plain steel helmets worn by French
soldiers. The first step is stamping
out disks from larke sheets of steel. A
special machine is used for this pur-
pose, exerting pressure Of $50 tons,
and capable OF cutting out 5000 steel
disks day. Each disk is placed under
a shaping machine, which presses the
disk into the form of a helmet with a
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all irregularities in the
helmet, after which holes are punched
in the crown, some for ventilation pur-
poses, others for fastening on the regi.
mental crest. Each helmet is cleaned
and dipped in special mixture, which
makes it a dull, inconspicuous blush
gray. A lining and leather chin straps
are then fastened on, and the helmet
is complete. Since the French army
has been protected with the helmets
tie number Of deaths due to wounds
in the head has decreased to remark
able extent.-Pearson's Weekly

How Not to Sneeze.

Everyone who attends church or
goes to the theater or other place
where people are assembled knows
how embarrassing 1t is to have to
sneeze with the usual unpleasant
sounds that accompany such an
outburst Of our real nature, an ex'
change says. Such may very easily
be avoided by thinking quickly and
following a simple little rule which
will save us much annoyance.
When the feeling comes over US
which always precedes a sneeze, ali
we have to do is to lay our finger
across the upper lip directly beneath
the nose and press firmly upon the lip
for a few seconds.
The sneeze will leave without max
ing itself heard.
The same result can be obtained by
laying the finger across the lower lip
Just above the chin and pressing rath'
er firmly for a few moments.
Either of these acts will not attract
attention and in almost every instance
the person will be saved the annoy
ance of disturbing the entire audi
ence.

Safety First In London.

H. H. Kohlsaat, the Chicago pub
Usher, registered at a hotel in Lon
don and was assigned to room on
next to the top floor. The following
morning he rang for bellboy.
When there was no response to the
second call he lifted the telephone
receiver and waited in vain for Are
you there?" Failing to establish any
communication with the Office, he
dressed and started for the office to
register indignation. The elevator
wasn't running. He began to walk
down. On the fourth landing he met
q housemaid and asked In strong Chi
cago language what was the matter
with the hotel.
well, sir, you see, SIR came the
answer, 'the Zeppelins were reported
and we were all ordered to the cellar
for safety"
Then Mr.. Kohlsaat's language grew
still stronger, and he completed his
remark by saying: We'll, I'm on
the next to the top floor, and wasn't
warned"
mo, sir" was the bland reply;
"but you see, sir, you don't come un
der the employers liability act, Sir.

What cathedrala Mean.

James Lane Allen has avowed that
his purpose in writing "A Cathedral
Singer" the new romance, Ia to estab-
lish the new Cathedral of st. John the
Divine in New York more securely in
the heart of the nation.
Nothing that man has ever been
able to build, he says, is loved for so
many reasons as a cathedral. 1t is
loved for its spiritual meaning, for
the arts that enter into its structure,
for the action of nature upon it through
sunlight and rain, and the brief NOR
tality of the blossom on its walls.
But it is above all the literature
which gathers about a cathedral, Mr..
Allen says, that makes 1t loved, link
ing it to innumerable human lives and
transfiguring it to human affection.
American literature entering the
service of our great cathedral can
complete its destiny as an American
cathedral, Mr.. Allen believes.

POWER OF THE SUBMARINE
So Far as Its Guns Are Concerned
Il Is Just About the Weakest
Thing Afioat.

The first and most striking fact
about the submarine is its capacity to
enter into and operate in waters that
are adversely commanded.
But, once in those waters, the
power of the submarine is extraordi-
narily limited. Indeed, its capacity to
enter those waters can also be limit
ed. The use of nets, of mines and OF
patrols-especially when assisted by
aircraft-these, at any focal point
which submarines coming or going
must pass, can do much to obstruct
their free passage. The narrower the
waters the easier their control by
these means, and even in comparative
ly open waters great destruction can
be and has been done by surface craft
upon them.
Apart, altogether, from the dangers
to which the submarine is exposed,
what is its value when 1t Is at work
in hostile waters? 1t has two weap-
ons-the torpedo and the gun. 1t can
carry but few torpedoes-few, that is,
compared with the number Of rounds
of gun ammunition that 1t can stow
away. The torpedo, too, Is an uncer-
tain weapon at the best OF times, par
ticularly uncertain when aimed while
the submarine is submerged.
Wherever it is possible, then, the
captain of the submarine has done his
work with his guns. But as gunned
ship, Arthur H. Pollen writes in the
North American Review, the subma.
rine Is the weakest thing afloat. Hence
it's guns can be used only against un
armed craft. 1t dare not approach any
armed ship on the surface at all. If il
has to approach an armed ship sub
merged. its speed of approach is great
ly limited. The highest submerged
speed does not exceed the half-poweI
speed OF the slowest warship. Hence
speed and high standard of vigilance
in ships which are armed make then
altogether immune from submarine at
tack except in rare cases, when, by
pure chance, their course takes then
within the submarines striking radius
The point is that II the ship Is armed
the submarine must keep submerged
and II it keeps submerged its maneu
vering speed is low, its capacity to ge
within striking distance Is very limit
ed, and it's weapon very uncertain. l
the ship it intends to strike is boil
at speed and accompanied by destroy
ers of fast craft, the area Of DANCE
to the submarine and the intensity o
the vigilance are increased, and th
danger from submarines becomes al
together negligible.

"Oh! why did you bring me here
why did you ever tell me?
Mrs. Lura Dayenal, two years q
bride, moaned and wept and drew
back from the window whittier sus-
pense and suspicion and the subtle
plotting Of a woman she should never
have trusted, led her.
She deemed Minna Burton friend.
She should never have placed faith
in this false counselor. She knew she
had been one of group Of admirers
of her husband before his marriage,
who had been particular never to go
out with her, for her reputation was
not clean one, but he had been cour-
teous to her. Minna had not seen
much of him until the last month.
Then a lady friend of hers had inti-
mated to Laura that Minna had told
her secretly that she felt sorry for her
because her husband was deceiving
her.
The lady friend had brought about
q meeting between the two. Lura
had demanded to know the occasion of
Minna's insinuation. The latter, crafty
Jealous schemer that she was, had
hemmed and hawed and feigned en-
barrassment. Then, when firmly
pressed by Lura, she had spoken OF

something / overheard this afternoon
that you are here to meet Minna Bur
ton"
If was-if-if-has she been
here?" faltered Lura.
"She will be soon and you must 90
away at once. Listen, lady, fly from
that woman. All she has had you meet
her for is to compromise you, for
this is a den no respectable person
should enter
Lura turned white as a sheet. Her
deepest suspicious were aroused. She
hurried from the place. She fairly ran
until several squares distant.
Now she was more hopelessly
wretched than ever. She thrilled with
horror as she thought of the wicked
snare set for her feet. We're all wom-
ankind unworthy and cruel? She shud-
dered, a score Of wild thoughts in her
mind. Even the dark, deep river
seemed to invite her. Gradually the
distraction grew less intense. She re-
membered a married school friend.
Surely she, her closest companion for
four years, would offer her a refuge.
Lura resolved to return home, destroy
the note left for her husband, write
to hor friend asking her to take her
in, await q reply and then leave the
house forever.
She was faint and trembling from
excitement and despair as she neared
the house. She entered, stood dazed
as she saw her husband coming from
upstairs. He was never home at that
time of the day. He must have found
the note, and yet with a beaming face
he came towards her.
"You dear little wanderer," he cried.
wherever have you been, when
have a great surprise for you?
"A surprise?" she repeated, scarcely
knowing what she said.
"Yes, come" and he entwined his
arm about her and drew her past the
drawing room draperies.
"Lura, my nearest and dearest OF
kin, Myra Blodgett," spoke Sydney
and Lura faced the young lady that
Burton had pointed out to her. She
extended hand, but her senses were
reeling. What did it all mean?
cousin Myra is responsible for the
first secret l ever kept from you'
dear" proceeded Sydney. "She is a
runaway-cruel papa and all that! She
would not let me bring her here for
fear she would be located, but within
an hour her gallant knight errant will
be here with a clergyman and then
we can face the ISSUE
IT will be down in moment" STAN
mered Lura and almost unceremon
iously left husband and guest. Hel
nerves were at fever heat. The note!
Sydney must have found 1t. Yes, II
was gone!
Lura sank to a chair, gasping FOL
breath. What would Sydney think
How could she explain it all? Ther
suddenly a great cry of Joy left hel
lips.
The note! The breeze comint
through the open window had blowi
1t where she saw it-under the bu
reau.
And Sydney Davenal marveled a
the strange clinging devotion of nj
