Imprisoned Arm.

In the early days of California q thief with his knife slit hole in a neighboring tent at the head of |, bunk, thrust in his arm and extracted bag of gold dust. He was caught with the goods, indicted for burglary and convicted. His counsel moved for an arrest of judgment and new trial on the ground that he was not guilty of burglary, for he had not 'broken into and entered' the premises, as charged in the indictment. The court refused to grant new trial, but said that in passing sentence he would take the peculiar circumstances into con- Sideration. He did so. He sentenced the arm that entered the tent to ten years Imprisonment, but accorded to the defendant the option of accom- panying it there or of cutting it off, just as he should choose.

Evolution and Immortality.

There is an element in evolution which endears it to me and to every man; I think it throws bright gleams on the question of immortality. l see that the unfolding series in this world are all the time from lower to high CT, that the .dea is not reached at any point, that the leaf works toward the bud and the bud toward the blossom, and the blossom toward the tree, and that in the whole experience of hu- man nature, and in the whole economy of the providence of God in regard to the physical world, everything is on the march upward and onward. And one thing is very certain, that neither in the individual nor in the collective mass has the intimation of God in the human conscience verified and fulfilled itself. The imperfection shows that we are not much further than the bud i; somewhere we have a right to a pre- science of the blossom.-Henry Ward Beecher

Joke on Grandfather.

Seven.year-old Willie sat next to his grandfather at the dinner table and handed him a note from the principal of the public school requesting the at' tendance of the grandfather at meet ing of the Parents and Teachers as- sociation. The old gentleman, who is fond of joke, pretended to read as follows, Dear Sir: Your crOp-eared, bandy-legged, sniffled-nose boy needs spanking. There are no shingles in this school sufficiently heavy for the purpose. Will you kindly take him into the woodshed and administer a much-needed correctionT Everybody at the table laughed except the young ster. With perfectly grave face he said. "Oh, grandfather, should not have thought that you would preserve all these years a note that was writ ten to your father when you was a boy"

of their enemies who desire to dictate the conditions of peace. Under the pretense of following the principles of nationality. our enemies have dis closed their real aims in this wa, namely, to dismember and dishonor Germany. Austria-Hurgary, Turkey and Bulgaria. To the suggestion. of reconciliation they oppose the will of destruction. They desire to fight to the bitter end.
 "A new situation has thus been created which forces Germany to LFW decision, since for two years and-a- half England is using her naval power for the criminal attempt to starvation. in brutal contempt of in- ternational law, the group of powers led by England does not only curtan legitimate trade of their opponents but they also, by ruthless pressure, compel neutral countries either al- together to forego every trade not agreeable to the entente powers Or to limit it adcording to their arbitrary decrees. * After attempts to come to an understanding with the entente powers have been answered by the latter with the announcement of intensified continuation of war. the imperial government, in order to serve the welfare of mankind in the higher sense and not to injure it's own people is now compelled to continue the fight with, the employment of all weapons and all agencies at it's dis , posal
 Hopes Y. s. Understands.
 Since trusting that the people and that the government of the United States will understand the motive Of this declaration and it's necessity the imperial government hopes the United States may view the new situation from the lofty height of impartiality, and insist on the effort to prevent further misery and unavoidable sacri- flee of human life."
 An addition to the note specifies the zone around Great Britain, Frande, Italy and the eastern Medi- terranean in which, from February 1, 1917, "sea traffic will be stopped with every available weapon and without further notice," and declares that neutral ships navigating the blockaded zone do so at their own risk"
 The Blockade Zone. The forbidden territory for neu- trals, under Germany's warning. is bounded by line running from practically the center of the Nether- luand coast northward, blockading all of Denmark and the entrande to the Baltid sea- thence due west. skirt ing the western part of the Farce isl ands. then west and then south. in q grand square 300 to 400 miles to sea off the British isles, to the junction of Spain and Portugal. apparently leaving the latter country open and affording a 20-miles safety zone along the northern Spanish coast to tht | frontier.
 Practically the whole Mediterran- can is declared dangerous, except a 1 narrow strip almost parallelling the African coast to point dired'ly south of Greece. from which a 20. mile wide zoone to Greek territoria waters is declared open.
 Germany's solicitude for Greece Wa: interpreted in some quarters here as indicating that despite the Greek adceptance of the entente allies dc
 mands, Germany still hopes for ; change in the situation in that coun try. At best, however, this conces- sion to Greece is of little value to tha country, as it is still blockaded by tas entente allies.
