REAL SPIRIT OF
 FRANCE SHOWN IN
 SOLDIERS LETTER

MANISTEE, Mich.-(By mailD- We Americans pride ourselves upon our patriotism. Are We more patrio- tic than some of the soldiers in Euro pean trenches?
 A copy of a letter written by a French sergeant as his last message to his wife and babies, and found on his body after a Somme engagement, has just been received in Manistee from a fellow officer of the fallen man. Censors have deleted the name and address of the fallen hero.
 The soldier wrote:
 My darling:
 q am writing this letter to you in any event-for one never knows. If it reaches you it will be that France will have needed me unto the end. You must not weep, for l swear to you that I shall die happy if l need to give my life to my country.
 "My only care is the difficult situ- ation in which you will find your self-you and the children. How can you provide for yourself and the babies? Happily you can count upon your former profession of teaching and the full assistance of all my peo- pie. How I should like to feel sure that some arrangement will be found

 There will be the baby whom l shall not have known. If it is boy, my wish is that he should be a doc tor, unless after the war France still has need of officers. You will tell him when he is old enough to understand, that his papa gave his life for a great ideal-that of our country reconstructed and strong.
 q think I have written the most necessary. Goodbye, my darling, my love. Promise me not to bear a grudge against France if she has ask cd my life. Promise me to console papa and mamma and to tell the lit tie girls that their father, however far he may be, will never cease to watch over them and to love them.
 "We shall find ourselves one day reunited, hope, near Him who guides our lives and who has given me, near you and through you, such happiness.

OPERATED UPON
Sam Moran, Second District Farmer,
Has Leg Amputated.

Mr. Samuel Moran. well known
farmer of the Second District, this
county. whose home is near the
Water Works. was subject to deli
cate and serious operation yesterday
at the Emergency Hospital.
The right leg was amputated above
the knee The operation was per
formed by Surgeon Speare. Of the
Navy, and was most successful
The bone of the leg was said TO be
diseased and it was necessary to am
putate the limb to save his life.
The patient is doing as well as can
be expected. and ii is hoped will
make a good recovery.
Mr.. Moran has been a sufferer for
over thirty years from this diseased
leg. and has scarcely slept night
for the past year.
Much interest is felt in his case,
as. he and his aged mother, about
ninety years old. lived together. and
he was his mothers caretaker and
nurse as well as the housekeeper and
farmer.
Some anxiety was felt for the aged
mother whose son is so afflicted, but
it is learned through the attending
physicians that friends and neigh
bors are looking for her welfare.

EDUCATION OF THE STREETS
Children With Poor Environments
Stand Low in Higher Forms OF In.
telliqence, Tests Show.

1t is a common belief that the chill
dren of the poorer classes in large cit
les acquire certain amount of valua-
BILE education by running the streets.
Actual tests usually indicate, however,
says the Journal of Heredity, that such
children stand very low in all the high
er forms of intelligence, and this might
have been suspected from an examlna-
ton of the environment IN which they
are brought up. Association with old
err people is one of the most important
factors In a child's education; but In
the poorer classes the dwellings are
so small that child must spend most
of his waking hours outside, and no.
where does he come in close contact
with many older persons of ability.
No matter how much one may adj
mire the development of modern indus
trial society, he can hardly believe that
1t offers O full and rich environ
ment In which a child may unfold
If child had inherited ability (and
many of the children who roam the
streets have not) 1t could hardly be
called into full play by the stimulus
of modern city street which, COM
pared with the country, offers little
for a child to do. Much has been said
of the evils of child labor, but under
modern city conditions 1t Is conceiva-
bic that child idleness may sometimes
be equally injurious.

PERsIANS FOND OF SHERBET
Of Beverage, Of Which There Are
Many Varieties.

The great beverage in Persia is
sherbet. which is plentifully supplied
and of which there are many varieties
from the bowl OF water with a
squeeze of lemon 10 the clear concen-
trated juice of any sort OF fruit TO
which water is added TO dilute 1t.
The preparation of sherbet, which is
done with greatest care, is a very Inn
portant point in so thirsty a country
as Persia, and one to which much time
is devoted. II may be either expressed
from the juice OF fruit freshly gath
cred or from the preserved extract of
pomegranates. cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar and submitted to u
certain degree of heat 10 preserve
1T for winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk is
called guzangebben; il is made from
the honey of the tamarisk tree. This
honey is not the work of the bee, but
the product of small insect or worm
living In vast numbers under the leaves
of the shrub. During the months Of
August and September the insect is
collected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet 1t is mixed with
vinegar and, although not so delicious
as that made from fruit, ii makes an
excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other cases sher-
bet is served in china bowls and drunk
from deep wooden spoons carved in
pearwood.

Artists Who Are "PeeuIiar."

There are in this country number
of men who sacrifice beauty of color
for popularity of color-to announce
to the world their individuality" that
they are here, on the map of the earth,
writes f. w. Ruckstuhl in Art World.
They go either to the anemic and
bloodless, or to the redhot and vulgar,
or to the neutral and leaden, or to the
shocking and caoplonic color-to Gre
ate notoriety bringing sensation. Be-
cause they know that the newspaper
and magazine art writers-who need
one sensation per week-will advertise
their work and annex them as fruitful
sources of mutual profit. Such vulgar
color nongers the layman can ignore,
for their fate is settled in advance.
They begin to pass into oblivion as
soon as they are born, like will o. the
wisps. The very constitution of the
human mind and soul insures that.

King Names British Premier

The premier or prime minister of
Great Britain is nominated by the
reigning sovereign. to form q cabinet
and organize the government. The ap-
pointment of premier does not have
to be confirmed by parliament, but no
prime minister could carry on the
government of the country for any
length of time who did not possess
the confidence of the house of COM
mons. He selects HIS colleagues or
other members of the cabinet, and his
resignation dissolves the ministry.
Members Of the British house Of lords
hold their seats by virtue Of heredI-
tary rank and titles, some Of which
were conferred by sovereigns hundreds
OF years ago. Canada has no repre-
sentative in the British parliament. It
has a parliament and government of
its own with governor general, ap-
pointed by the king Of Great Britain.
