Copenhagen, June 14.-England is
by Herr Won Heydebrand, conserva-
tive leader of the reichstag., In a
speech he is quoted as saying:
I'VE hope-yes, we are certain
that in two months at the most the
condition of the English will be such
that England will be through
Herr Won Heydebrand gave warn
ing against hope of a separate peace
with Russia and a consequent easy vic
tory over Germany's other opponents.
In this connection he said he himself
formerly had cherished this hope, but
that such a peace would be possible
only IL made with a government strong
enough to control the situation in the
interior and face the consequences Of
a break between Russia and her allies.
The Russian government, he said, was
not strong enough for this.
Unwilling praise of British achieve
ments was given by Herr Won Heyde-
brand. He referred to the fact that
an army Of millions had been put into
the field and said England was like
a bulldog which could not be shaken
off after it's jaws had closed. How
ever, he was convinced that, owing to
the submarine, it would be unneces-
sary to endure another winter of war.
He concluded his speech by demand
ing that the government display
"healthy national egoism" when max
ing peace.

MIDWINTER'S TALE
FROM PARIS

Paris is laughing as much as Paris
can during these sad days over a lit
tie neighborhood quarrel that took
place recently. It seems that GER
tain well-to-do gentleman last win
ter, or even earlier, put in a big stock
of coal and kept it in his cellar I'M
der lock and key, for coal is mighty
expensive in Paris these days Early
in the winter the said gentleman
packed up his belongings, and with
his wife and children left for warmer
chimes. He had the money to do it.
so there was no reason for his not
seeking pleasanter skies. Meanwhile
there was neighbor with several
children who was not particularly en-
dowed with worldly goods. Winter
came to him, too, but he could seek
no relief from it's chills. On the con-
trary, his apartment went unheated,
his children froze and altogether he
was miserable. But he had a great
secret. He knew of the stock of coal
in the neighbor's cellar. Quietly.
without letting even his most init
mate friends know, he acquired a. big
bunch of keys and with them went to
the empty house of his neighbor. He
tried one key after another on the
coal cellar lock until-snap-it open
ed and there lay the black treasure
before him. He was cautious He
didn't bring around a cart and car
ry the whole load off at once but
went quietly back to his apartment,
fetched a pail, loaded it with the pre-
cious coal, locked the cellar door and
went back home. Soon warm fire
was burning and wife and children
were comfortable. The next evening
he repeated the performance and the
next and the next. So it went until
the warm weather set in. With it's
return came also the well-to-do
neighbor. He never gave the coal
a thought, or if he did. imagined it
safely stored away under lock and
key. One day, however, he did dis
cover that his bins were empty He
made great hue and cry and com
planned to the police. Did he get any
satisfaction? He did not. He was
told he had no business in the first
place to hoard coal. It was not only
against the law, but what was more,
such boarding was most unpatriotic.
That's why Paris is laughing as much
as Paris can laugh during these sad

To Preuent Old Age
Coming Too Soon J.!

"Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown
out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as
filters for such products. II we wish to
prevent old age coming too soon and in
crease our chances for long life, we should
drink plenty Of pure water and take a
little Anuric," says the worid-famed DR..
Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
When suffering from backache, fire.
Quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains
here or there, or that constant tired,
worn-out feeling, the simple way to over
come these disorders is merely to obtain
. little Anuric from your nearest drug
gist and you will quickly notice the grand
results. You will find it many times
more potent than lithia, and that it
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

the door, which led to its opening.
and the subsequent reading of the ver-
dict which gave to a smiling, yet
sobbing woman, the happiness Of free
dom. Outside the court room, where
men and women had gathered to re-
ceive the news of the verdict, there
were cheers and hand-clapping as the
news passed to them. Within, there
were tears of Joy and the sobs Of hys-
terical women as they crowded about
the almost hysterical Mrs. Smith to
congratulate her upon her acquittal.
Mrs. Smith sat as one craven for q
second. the features Of her face dead
and still. Then the muscles worked
Historically. A laugh and a sob Joined
themselves in her throat. And then,
her attorneys following her, she
rushed forward to clasp the hands Of
the jurymen and thank them for their
verdict.
Il can't tell you how grateful am"
she sobbed, 81 just can't tell you
you've made me happy again-I can
go home now, home to my little girl"
Then the whole forward part of tho
jury room filled with surging mass
of people, all of them anxious to touch
the hand of the woman who had been
freed, all Of them struggling to tell
her that they were glad and that the
jury had given just verdict.
