about a mouse; the only mouse that
ever got away from me-that is, the
only one that | ever saw. Of course

house when / was very little kitten,
and right away | began to catch the
mice.

mice, so | became great pet in the
house.
And while | always had plenty OF

and those mice thought they owned
it until | came.
They ran about everywhere, on the
pantry shelves and all over the rooms
at night, and they would even run
over me sometimes when | was taking
forty winks, but | soon stopped that
played | was asleep when | wasn't,
and caught those silly mice until the
others began to learn that | was a
thing to be feared and not to be taken
as a joke.
But there was one mouse | could
not catch. He was larger than the
others and had a little piece taken
out of one ear, SO | always knew him,
and it gave me no end of worry to
think he always escaped me.
"The others called him Tip, because
it was the tip of his ear that was
gone, and Tip was some runner,

the smallest hole in the wall and he
could get away from you when you had
your paw right over him. | made up
my mind to get Tip, if | had TO let

and not a few feet OF good comedy
The achievements of the camera are
remarkable. The company which was
employed in making "The Battle Cry
of Peace" must have left devastated
region behind it like Belgium in the
path of the Germans. A train is
wrecked merely to point passing ar
gnment for the hero, and building
after building goes down under heavy
gunfre or bombs from the sky.
Enormous crowds are employed in
the scenes of panic and big masses oil

large scale naval battle and some de-

'mancuvering of submarines. But the
best of all the picture concerned one

WOMANS PART
IN THE NEWS
TODAY

Lebanon. Pa.-How an aged French
woman. hungering for affection to as
suage the deaths of her husband and
two sons, adopted a man, only TO dis
inherit the foster son when he joined
the German army-is the remarkable
war story beneath the contest
against the will of Resale Parent
Coleman. Instituted by DR.. Guido
Tauern Hinkel, involving an estate
of $l.0O0,0 900 and scheduled to come
into court in this county next month.
The foster son charges undue influ-
ence on the part of the new heirs, who
so played on the patriotism of the
aged woman, who was intensely de-
voted to her native France, as to
cause her to forget her natural love
for her adopted son and leave him
penniless. The Coleman family has
been for generations the leader in
the iron industry here, having amassed
vast wealth in the Cornwall ore mines,
a few miles south of Mount Lebanon.
Robert Coleman, member of the fam
lily. expatriated himself, going to
Paris, where he married Mile. Rosale
Parent and remained till his death.
Two sons were born, and it was after
the death of these and of her husband
that Nine. Coleman adopted Hinkel
and made him her sole heir in her
original will The young man. who
is now 81 years old, was born in New
York of German parents and became
a physician in Paris. He attended
Nine. Coleman during an illness and
so won her regard and affection that
she turned to him as successor to
her dead sons He is said to have
attained a skill in surgery which has
already brought him to the attention
of great men of the profession in
France and Germany. When the war
broke out, he felt that his services
belonged to the country of his for
bears. and in spite of his foster moth
er'S pleadings and indignation, he en-
listed with the enemy of her country.

Barrett's Hand Picked Flax.

"Dick" Barrett was down from
Glenburn Tuesday. Dick is feeding
235 head of cattle this winter and he
has just installed modern hot water
heating plant in his residence, giving
his farm home all the conveniences Of
the best city homes. We remember
during the early days when Dick was
MT living in the affluence that charac-
terizes the present period, but the re.
sourceful Barrett always managed to
"get by in some fashion. A good
many years ago Dick owed the Inter
national Harvester Co. $1,000. The
company wanted the money, in fact
just had to have it. They sent for
Dick. Like the accommodating gentle
man that he has always been, he came
across country and explained that he
hadn't threshed his flax yet. That year
an early snow fell. Dicks flax was

ed up onto the carpet the second time.
Again he explained that he couldn't
do anything until after his flax was
threshed. allow much flax have you,"
he was asked. "About ten acres" he
replied. "How much will it yield ?"
"Well, if I hand pick it, l may get a
quart to the acre." he explained. Dick
wasn't bothered any more that fall,
but he met his obligations in time.

PAYING TAXES CHEERFULLY

Oh, let's us wear the cheerful grip,
and mugs that shine like new made
tin, when we are paying taxes; tits GUS
tomary then to scowl, and lean against
fence and howl, and brandish battle
axes. But since it doesn't pay to roar
what is the use of acting sore, as tho
bereft Of senses? Why not produce
our little rolls, and say it warns our
hearts and souls to help to pay expen-
SEES? 'Twere better far to sing and
smile as we cough over our meagre
pile, to keep the wheels Affirming;
twill help us on future day, when in
the good old fashioned way, for public
trusts we're yearning. Some day to
make your store increase, you'll run
for justice of the peace, or something
of that nature, or you may higher yet
aspire, and through the press voice
your desire to join the legislature.
Then, if you always raised bawl
when paying taxes in the fall, the
story will confound you; you'll see
true patriots arise to dot you one be-
tween the eyes, and flash their knives
around you.-Walt Mason.
