The difference was said to be due

for themselves. There Is not particle of pounding in his method He sud- denly seizes a commanding ridge when the Turks are not expecting it. By the time thes are aroused their main posi- tion is being attacked on the south east, while the cavalry assails them from the north. The seizure of the ridge, it is to be conjectured, was made before daybreak. and by nightfall the Turks are penned in, with the Euphra tes on the north, the British infantry and artillery on east and south, and the cavalry on the west. The position held by the cavalry seems the easiest to break through. and the Turks spend the night in fruitless efforts; the cav airy always drive them back. Day comes, and the surrounding army at tacks from all sides With such fury that by o'clock the Turks surrender, thou sands of them, including their general and his staff.
 This is a victory won by strategy, dash, and determination, a victory of the old d-fashioned kind of fighting, a victory won in Maudes own way. Fol lowed by anxiety rather than hope, this general set out on his campaign in a region sinister with repeated dis aster to the British arms; an ill- omened region. The hopes that fol- lowed his fore-runners, but did not follow him he has more than fulfilled on every occasion.
 He has met with no defeats, only with victories, victories won with that satisfying thoroughness which leaves nothing to be desired. His plans seem to be perfect and are always carried out to the letter. Whenever he strikes he strikes like thunderbolt. This ac- complishment of his, the capture of l an enemy army, has no precedent on the side of the allies since the war be- gan; and in the fact that it was won by sheer strategy, combined with the vigor of action that is always his, il has no precedent on either side Maude is reminiscent of Wolfe.

TOYS TO . AID FINE WORK

 The toys in the main consist of sets Illustrative of old, familiar stories such as the Billy Goats," Snuff" "The Three Bears Peter Rabbit" etc. They are made of wood and are attractive and durable.
 Sample sets have. been placed at the porris-Heyman Furniture store where orders to certain limit may be left. The cause is a worthy one and the children solicit the patronage of the community.

 If one could be blinded by the sight of pie Gas Representative Prouty of Iowa claimed to be blinded by the sight of unts.xed diamonds) he would need an oculist in the Portland rail- road station.

well known accessories to the ordinary railroad restaurant; nothing but row upon row of pie.
 When the weary New England trav- eler is hungry he approaches the pie line and, walking down the counter, comes to his favorite-be it rhubarb or apple or lemon or custard or cocoanut. Then he anchors himself there, has a fork showed into his hand by a digni- fled pie shepherdess behind the bull wark and starts to eat
 The shepherdess will ask:
 "Cawfy.'
 He will munch and grunt his ac- quiescence and receive in exchange a cup Of aw-fy-it is certainly not cof- fee-and then, having had another piece of pie for dessert, will pay his bill and depart.

AN HONEST MATCH
 NEVER WAS BORN?
Gos Angeles Timesl


 There never was straightforward, honest match born yet. The whole pesky tribe is steeped in wickedness. There's the kind that goes off with a loud report and misses like a serpent. There's the kind that blazes up bril- liantly and then goes out. There's the kind that splutters and strives and sig zles but never really lights at all. There's the kind that light beautifully but breaks in the middle and drops on to the best carpet. There's the kind that will strike only on the box, but not the box they happen to be in.
 There's the kind you bought for your silver case which are exactly an eighth of an inch too long. There's the wax kind that drops grease down your best suit and there's the little flat, miser- able kind that deceives you with a modest expect and then blazes up and burns your fingers.
 And where do the pesky things get 10? Try to find them in the dark, try to reach across the table for them. Then spend half an hour picking the dratted thing up. And you have to pick up every last one of 'em, for if you don't the baby will, and the last lot upset his stomach awfully.
 When you have found em, find a suitable place to strike them. The bottom of your shoe, under the arm of your chair, down your trousers-the new light gray pair that shows the mark forever. Then, finally, get up and strike the plaguey thing on the plaster wall-quietly, surreptitiously- and spend all the next morning trying to get the mark out while the wife makes sarcastic comments.
 And yet we pity our ancestors. Why those old finder boxes were the acme of leasured comfort and refinement compared to the modern match of satanic prepensities.

A southern farmer walked into
a big hardware store a few days
ago to buy buggy. He wanted
the same kind of buggy as one he
had bought at the same. store
twelve years ago at $50. When
informed by the salesman that the
1917 price of the buggy was 800,
the farmer began to rave abou
how the city dealers are always
trying to skin the poor farmer.
The salesman looked buck ever
the firms books. and fouad that
the farmer really did buy.a buggy
in 1905 for $50. but he paid for il
in corn instead of cash. The books
showed $50 bushels of corn had
| been hauled in and tn. n d over te
the 6rm for the $50 buggy

When the farmer finished con-.
paitning about bow the city folks
keep on raising the price of every
thing the country folks have to
buy, the salesman had bis inning
short but emphatic. The farmer
admitted that corn was just as
plentiful on his farm in 1917 as it
was in 1905.
Said the salesman to the farmer;
IF you bring US t5O bushels of
corn now, We will let you have
this 800 buggy, a $40 set of har-
ness, a So horse cover, S5 lap
robe, hundred dollar gasoline
engine, 100 rallons of gasoline
and give you $50 in greenback be-
