long before he had high words with a
native who spoke very broken English.
Selling a dish from a stall close at
hand, Pat let fly with It, and the
Chinaman's head was cut On being
brought before the English consul he
was asked why he had insulted the ma
tive.
"sure," replied Pat, "he spoke broken
English, and just gave him broken
China In return."-New York Globe.

buildings and other educational facil'

One of the chief arguments of the

educational advantages offered thru

Color is given the story in circulation

it, and we are not contemplating an
nexing the habit, but if we were ON the
west front in France or any other front
where German shells were digging up
the dirt and killing men twenty-four
hours per day and some general should
come along in the cold, dark hours of
the night and order us to climb out
OF the mudhole in which we were Will
ing the idle hours away dreaming of
the little old United States and go
"over the top" after bunch of real
live Germans loaded down with Bill
Hohenzollern crosses for efficient
butchery-well, if we were in that par
ticular fix and we thought that a
smoke or chew would take the weak
ness out of our knees, dull the disqui-
citing song of German shells and make
Us forget temporarily the little pleas

this tempestuous world, why we would
ask for the makin's, that's ALL We
would even rather be caught smoking
IA cigaret than to be found with our
back to the Germans or trying to claw
enough ozone out of the blue sky to
cover us from their artillery fire. That

leave our traditions OF virtue if we
had to do the "going over the top"
act. And that's the reason why we

THE CITY OF VENICE.

Des Moines Capital: There is only
one Venice. There is only one clty
built on the water. Venice is one nj
the Oldest cities of the world. II is
in the edge of the Adriatic. Ia
streets are water; it's alleys the
same. There are no automobiles
carriages or drays in Venice. 1t has
been stated that there is not a COW
in Venice. There are no pastures.
The buildings in the water were orig.
inally supported by wooden posts,
The grand canal was made because it
followed the channel in the ocean
washed out by a river. When the tide
is out better idea can be had OF
Venice because many of the sand bars
are visible.
For thousand years there were
no boats in Venice excepting the fam.
GUS gondolas. Some Of the gondolas
were extravagant and costly. All Of
them were artistic.
The largest plot of ground in Venice
lis st. Marks square, where there is
a beautiful cathedral and a large
plaza surfaced with rock.
There is long ridge or belt OF
sand and earth at the outer edge OF
Venice which, In a measure, potects
the city from the direct assaults Of
the ocean. The city has eighty
islands, some Of which are not visible
and between these islands streets
exist. There are four hundred and
fifty bridges. The one famous bridge
1t consists Of single arch ninety
feet long and twenty-four feet high.
1t was built of marble in 1890. The
nriloa ~ or nj acrncc ba
canal and communicates with prisons.
When an accused person is conducted
across the bridge it is known that he
is on his way to death.
Venice, for many centuries, had
government of her own. Since 1866
she has been part OF Italy. Her
present population is 10000 but in
the days OF her glory she had more
than twice that number.
The foundation Of Venice was laid
In the year 421 as a place OF refuge
during the isvasion of Attila. Venice
lost her trade and her monopoly OF
the sea by the discovery of the route
to India by the cape. Previous 10
that time Venice was the most noted
commercial city of the world. At the
present time one Of her noted manu-.
features is that of glass. Venetian
glass is famous throughout the world
for church and cathedral windows.
For centuries the important facts in
relation to the making of fancy
glasses were kept secret and trans
mitted from father to son. This is,
in measure, true at the present time
The sand from which the glass is
made is shipped from Fontainebleau,
France. 1t Is pure white and is in
solid chunks, like newly manufacture
ed sugar before being broken up
Byron and many of the geniuses of
the world at different times made
their home in Venice on account Of
| the romantic and artistic atmosphere.
