NOT THAT KIND OF CASE.

As a rule there is more than one way
Of overcoming q difficulty. Not all Of
us, however, are as ingenious in solu-
ton as the corporal of a famous Irish
regiment who recently went to the
front.
While on a march In a very remote
part the pioneer corporal went to the
qu~artermaster to borrow a horse to
carry provisions to another tent. The
1dartefmaster refused, saying:
II have only the cart and this spare
horse I am keeping for a case of emer-
gency."
"Well," reflected the corporal, "can't
you put the case of emergency on the
cart, sir, and let me have the horse?"

One of the courageous girls in the
"Legion of Death" on parade. When
the soldiers at the front refused to
fight and became laggard of discipline,
a number OF heroic Russian women or
ganizcd themselves into the Legion
Of Death" and took the places of the
men at the front. They fought furi-
ously and the Germans were put to
flight at the sector, where they were
engaged,
The wonderful story Of their deeds
has thrilled the world and made his
tory. Every girl in the battalion car
ries a dose of cyanide of potassium to
use in event of her capture. They do
not fear death, but they dread capture.

EXAMINED SAME EAR TWICE
Army Surgeon Examining WouId.Be
Soldiers, Fooled by One Whose
Hearing Was Defective.

There is one young fellow in n of
the Indiana companies stone deaf in
one ear who "got by" the examining
physician by a ruse during the physi-
cal examination of his company, says
the indianapolis News. The members
of the company will not tell who he is,
and the examining physicians do not
know of the incident. The only way
to eliminate the young student officer
who, of course, despite his enthusiasm,
is unfit for service, would be by re-
examining the whole company at Fort
Harrison.
Ears are examined one at time,
and after the examining officer had
completed the examination Of the IAN
didate's good ear, the candidate
stepped forward and engaged the Off
Ger in conversation, asking some trivial
question. The incident broke the
smoothly running routine and agra
waited the officer, and he spoke sharply
to the candidate.
"Get back in line there and don't
ask foolish questions. We don't have
any time to waste. Let's have the other
ear"
And the candidate submitted the
same ear for a second test and passed
with flying colors.

William C. Buell. Describes Life
 Aboard Ship Somewhere"

In the following letters William c. Buell. tells of his experience while on board ship in a harbor Somewhere in the Atlantic" He also describes the target practice which the gunners have each day and of their wonderful craftsmanship. The letters follow:
 July 26, 1917. Dear Father and Mother:
 We are anchored off shore about a mile from Halifax. Had life boat drill. I am in life boat No. 1. Mail will not reach you for some time as it is being taken to Washington to te censored. 7, There are eight other vessels here waiting-for what no one knows We imagine the U-boats are extra thick and we have put in here until it Is safe. Expect to stay here until next week. We got a great ovation from the other ships and the Canadian troops. They certainly do seem glad to see the U. s. in the war.
 A boy comes out to the ships in a skiff and we get things from him. We have time with English money. No one knows how much 1t is worth so when we buy anything we hold out a handful and he picks out what he wants
 It is very warm here. Yesterday we were wearing sheepskins and to- day we are sweating. We had fire on board last evening. No one knows how 1t started. It looked pretty se- rious for a while. We were all or dered to put on the life belts The flamesN were from 12 to 15 feet high. Now for lunch. We have breakfast at a. m., lunch at 12:3O, tea at 4 and dinner at 6:30.
 July 27, 1917. Dear Father and Mother:
 It IS much warmer. l have not been on shore since we left New York. How is everything at home? I wish we could get a paper from the States. I have mailed several 'et- ters to you since we have been here.

ployed by the Remington Arms Co.,, was arrested on Hartford avenue Sat- urday night for drunkenness. En route to the police station he gave a hard battle to Policemen Michael Meehan and George Ellinger and this morning faced the additional charge of resisting an officer. Prosecutor Klett also brought out warrant charging Scott with breach of the peace on July 5, 1916. On motion of Lawyer P. F. McDonough the case was postponed and Scott will appear for trial one week from today.
 Other Morning Cases.
 Charged with shooting craps" Walter Kovalski of Lawlor street, ar rested in the rear of Moores East Main street blacksmith shop by Off, fcer Hayes yesterday pleaded not guilty. He said he was headed for Ne ri's store but saw the gang shooting crap and "steered his course that way" Judge Meskill advised the boy to ''steer his course different way" next time and discharged him.
 Charles Pranitis of Kelsey street was also given a warning. Pranitis was charged with breach of the peace, the trouble arising out of an alleged neighborhood feud in which, Prescott tor Klett declared, the Pranitis fam fly, the McKenna family and tho French family are interested and bel ligerent parties.

Have you ordered your Liberty bond?
New Britain herald., 1917-10-15

I do hope you Will get them. we
 can't go in shore or communicate with
 anyone on shore. Had corn on the
 cob today.
 Last evening we all got in the front
 end and sang for awhile. You see we
 are away back in the harbor so we
 can make as much noise as we Wlsn'
 also have lights. There are several
 submarines here that practice every
 day. There is a fort at the entrance
 of the harbor, from which they prac- tice shooting at submarines. They make targets of slats as large as the periscope and tower of a U-boat and then tug tows several of these around the harbor at a distance of a mile or two from the guns The gunners are good shots. l wish l
 could snap a picture as they sail around us. But we cannot even take our cameras out of our grips. TWO
 more ships came in this morning. What a cheering. Believe me. 1t
 makes a fellow feel good to belong to Uncle Sam.
 This afternoon we have boat races in the life boats, the engineers, aVi- ators, Signal Corps and Field service. am coxswain of one boat. The avi- ators will win as they have several crew men.
 We have a woman on board who is insane. She is English and going back to England. She does nothing but down the Americans all day long. She got down in the soldiers quarters last evening, calling them all sorts of names The men would have han | dled her pretty rough if some of rhe ofR ho1 ho o1D | captain called her to his cabin this l morning and told her she would be l put in the jug if she did not behave, For dinner we had soup, roast beef, l beans, two kinds of potatoes, olives, | corn on cob, coffee, rolls, ice cream and pudding. Must try and get this l on shore now
 Lots of love,

realm where evolution does exist And so evident was it that these illus- trations proved evolution, that they may be said in charity to have hypno- tized themselves into believing their theory, and to have hypnotized all the world pretty much. Their @. E. D. rang around the world, and was upon almost every tongue.
 Science took it up. Literature took it up. Every Tom. Dick. and Harry, who wished to be thought a scholar took it up. Ministers took it up. College and theological pro- fessors and secular and religious powers took it up. Teachers in our secondary and grammar schools took it up. And presently even our babies cried for the evolution bottle. The whole world had gone mad after the beast. It was masterly trick, a mighty victory. The whole inhabited earth crying: Who is like unto the beast?'
 And the Christian world. now af- ter this debauch of three generations, Is waking up and rubbing it's eyes and discovering that it has been in an hypnotic trance. Some are not yet fully awake; and some belated
 
 however In reply to an inquiry, Prof. l.. T. Tomnsend of Boston. to whom I have already referred, replies as follows concerning those still asleep: Some grammar school teach CTS, possibly some belated teachers higher up, may still be teaching evo- luton; but during the last three or four years those best qualified to speak are silent in defense of the theory with hardly an exception That being the case. there is no doubt hope that in our own public schools, where recently there were some 'belated' ones. our Christian children may soon be freed from the necessity of listening to this exploded and mischievous teaching. As to the pulpits where it is tolerated or open ly taught, we may in charity and love pray for God to speed the day when these men. most of them as honest as any but unquestionably shared by Satan, will have their theological eyes opened to see the glories of Gods great revelation upon the pages of the old Bible.
 Dear Old Bible! Precious revela- ton of the pardoning love of God! Mighty Gospel, the power of God unto salvation, to every one that believeth!
 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord. is laid for your faith in His excellent word
 What more can he say than to you he hath said, to you who for refuge to Jesus have f1ed?'

THREE YOUNG GIRLS
 CONVICTED OF THEFT
Cheerfully Admit Skill As Clever
 PickpoCketS

Three small girls, admittedly skill full pickpockets, were arraigned before Judge James T. Meskill in cham bers this mo Ang and sentenced to the School for Girls at Middletown, and a fourth member of the alleged young gang is in custody and will be ar- raigned tomorrow morning. The girls sentenced are Agnes and Mary Am- prose, aged 12 and IS years respec- lively, and Annie Scopetski, also 12 years old. The children were ar rested Saturday by Detective A, J. Richardson.
 The two Ambrose girls admitted that for many weeks they have been practising their wrongful acts and on the big day when the soldiers went away they admit having picked a number of pockets. Their system was to mingle with the crowds on the street or in the various motion pic ture houses and remove the owners purses from either their pockets or their handbags. On one occasion they visited small jewelry store and while one girl engaged the clerk in a fake conversation the others rifed the cash drawer.
 Two other youngsters in the per- sons of Albert Dobruck and Vitey Waitkevich were also in chambers, charged with theft. They were ar rested by Officer William Hayes charged with having stolen a quantity of cookies from the storehouses of Minor, Reed & Tullock and also from the National Biscuit Co. They were placed on probation. Officials of these two concerns have notified the police that last month alone more than $6O worth of eatables were stolen from them.
 He Took a Chance.
 William Bailey admitted that he took a chance" and operated his automobile without license and then paid the fine of s7 and costs imposed by the court. William Smith and Maurice Riley, both of Main street, were riding along the Plainville road Saturday with Charles Travers of Mill dale when Bailey's ice truck collided with their car. Smith received in- juries which necessitated his re- rnoval to the hospital Bailey had no operators license and stated in court today that he had never held one but at times when business was rushing he operated the machine just the same, taking a chance" Traffic Officer Lamphere declared that Bailey has operated the machine on his sons license.
