Still Owns Violet Shop.

In the French chamber Of deputies
the lawyers and doctors are most nu-
imerous; but one deputy is veterf-
nary, another is a news agent, another
lis a miner, another comedian, an
other a tinsmith, another makes wood
en- shoes, another Is a confectioner.
Others are professors, and one, who
represents Upper Garonne, is dealer
in violets. Time was-and it is long
time ago-when he sold those, sweet
and modest flowers over the counter in
person. Now, with a modesty equal
to that Of the violet, he has withdrawn
himself from SO public position. But
he still owns shop alongside the Ho-
tel de la Poste in Toulouse, shop
where violets, and only violets, are
sold.

How They Shoot in China.

Details of the battle in Picking be-
tween Chang Hsun's ill-starred forces
and the besieging republican troops
Indicate that the hostilities were more
exciting than dangerous, remarks the
Salt Lake neutrality-suspicious..
The dictator was surrounded by
about 1000 of his followers when he
sought refuge in the Forbidden City,
and the attacking party numbered at
least five times as many.
Chinese soldiers have never been
noted for expert skill in handling fire
arms, as substantiated by the authen-
tic report that considering the enor-
nous quantity Of ammunition used and
the number of troops engaged" the
casualties were remarkably small, only
ten killed and thirty wounded among
combatants and three times the num-
Der of killed and wounded among Gin
nOcent bve nders."
For obvious reasons Uncle Sam was
simply giving the Chinese sound and
friendly advice when he told them to
keep out of the way and harmonic
their internal differences.

Master of Proportions.

An eager young teacher was review
ing the Sunday school lesson in a mis-
sion church in Brooklyn. The subject
was "MOses and the Bush That
Burned Without Being Consumed"
The boys of ten and twelve had been
greatly interested in the story and
were now eager to expose their
knowledge. Answers followed her

FRIEND OF THE FIRE HORSE
In Detroit Animals Showed Affection
for the Man Who Cared for Them
For Many Years.

For q years Martin Cooney has
been superintendent Of horses for the
fire department of Detroit, Mich, says
every horse used by the department
in that time; he has tended them
through sickness and has been obliged
to end the agonies of many of them.
So great has been his love for horses
that he has never taken furlough,
or even kept his Sundays for himself.
Night and day he has watched over
the horses.
In winter, when the horses, steam
have stood and shivered us the blaze
was fought, it was Martin Cooney who
hurried to the scene, and saw that they
were blanketed. Back in their barns,
it was Martin Cooney who saw that
they were rubbed down and made
warm and comfortable. When their
feet were sore it was Martin Cooney
who dressed them, and when the
strenuous life of fire department horses
made them unfit for such serv-
ice, Martin Cooney saw to it that they
drivers, who might abuse them.
But the endless tolls of days and
nights has taken toll of Mr.. Cooney,
and recently he retired from active
service. And because he has been
friend to horses he is glad that auto
mobiles are replacing them for fire
service in downtown Detroit.
Pounding over hard, slippery
downtown streets shortened the lives
of the horses Mr.. Cooney explained.
"When we used them all over the city,
the average life of horse in the de-
partment was four or five years; now
that they are confined to the envir-
ons their average is five or six
years. OF course some last much
longer. There was one that lasted
thirteen years, and is now comfortable
on a farm near Detroit.
''When I joined the fire department
we had about $50 horses. At one time
we had 234 horses; that was the high
water mark. Now we have about $50,
more than we had twenty-seven years
ago, despite the great number of fire
trucks. That is because Detroit's out
lying districts are more populous now
than the entire city was then.
'The horses knew me when I came
into any of the stations. They would
whinny and crane their necks. I broke
them in and they never forgot me.
"The thing which makes me happiest
is that all old horses are sent to farms,
where there are no hard roads to irri-
tate their weakened feet. A horse is
too Intelligent and too good friend to
be abused after fits full period Of use
fulness is passed.

The Boon Of a Short Memory.

A Canadian corporal writes that the
condition of the roads often appears
perfect pandernenium until one gets
used to it. Ones of the strains that
counts in this war is on coming out of
the trenches to go to a rest billet. Up
in the line man is keyed up to stand
a bombardment, and there is a fierce
Joy in getting to close quarters with a
bayonet. But when the relief is over,
and the regiment is on it's way for
:; four or five miles to rest billets, the
stimulus is lacking, the pack seems
doubly heavy, and the road is very
hard to feet softened by three or four
days Of wearing gumboots in the mud
!of the trenches. IN "a hours, with a
bath, shave, and clean kit, there will
be different men; for memory is mer-
lcifully short in this war, and the com
forts or discomforts Of the moment are
the things that count.

JOURNALISM THE JAPAN WAY
One Publisher Finds Suppression Of
Sensational News Does Not Meet
With Approval.

| To ascertain the tastes Of his read
ers with regard to sensational stories,
according to the East and West News
the Yomiuri, recently "held out" the
story Of the double suicide pact be-
tween the daughter of Count Yoshi
kawa, vice president of the privy coun-
ell, and her chauffeur, with the re-
suit that the following Gay he was del
uged with letters from indignant read
ers Of his paper, many of them charg
ing him with accepting brides from the
|Yoshikawa family. Every other news
paper in Tokyo printed the story Amer
lean fashion.
Eikichchiro based his action on a
desire to protect the public from
Iscandalous conduct. It is said the
iyoung editor is now convinced Of the
truth Of the saying of the late Charles
"A. Dana that whatever the Almighty
permits to happen is fit to print" To
deny the insinuation that the Yoshi-
kawa family paid him to leave out the
story, he printed: "The Yoshikawa
family at once engaged press agent
details Of the affair.""
He later INDUCED in long article
about the aims Of q newspaper, adj
Uniting that his attitude was q dar-
ing one. He confessed that if he fol-
lowed the advices Of the very few
readers who approved his course, che
would have no hope Of continuing in

Feeding the Soldiers.

.. Although he would a great deal
rather be taking part in cavalry raids,
Capt. John G. Pegram, for Is years at
States army, is now putting in some
very hard strokes in the way of COM
imissary preparedness, SO that if an
army travels on its stomach, as it does,
according to tradition, the United
States forces will be able to go very
far indeed. Captain Pegram has been
detailed by the war department to rep
resent the commissary department at
the camps Of the eastern and north
eastern departments. He has been in
New York for some time cooperating
with the hotel and restaurant men who
are enlisting cooks for the new army.

WILL USE HORSE CHESTNUTS
Heretofore Ignored, Weii-known Nut
Is to Have Place With Other
War Munitions.

"HOrse chestnuts for munitions" 1t
liz a sober headline in the English pa
ipers. Hooray for the horse chestnut!
but they are not going to shoot 1t at
the Germans. declares the Boston
Transcript. The horse chestnut crop
is being harvested in England under
the orders of the "director Of propel-
liant supplies'-direful title for use
in the place of large quantities of
grain used in connection with NUM-
lions, which grain is hereby released
for use as food.
We are not told just how this re-
Iufacture of munitions. That would be
giving information" to the enemy. But
in any case, horse chestnutS will do
the business, and all England is put
lat work by government circular col
.lecting them. Collection will be car
Iried out by local committees formed
in connection with the schools. 1t is
particularly requested that nuts should
not be gathered until they are fully
ripe, so unripe nuts are of no value
for the purpose.
Let us be glad that a patriotic use
has been found for the horse chestnut.
Heretofore it has been available only
for purposes Of juvenile ornamental
ton, or, when carried In the right
hand trousers pocket, for adult rheu-
'matism. Not even pigs will eat horse
chestnuts. But how many millions Of
them could easily be gathered in New
England! Do you want the New Eng
land horse chestnut crop, Mr.. Baker?
IF so, you have only to ask for it.
