Henley and Stevenson.

W. E. Henley once met Robert Louis
Stevenson and found his friend dis
tressed because he was not a voltaire
or Dumas. though he had an equip
ment which ought to have made him
their peer. Stevenson put his failure"
down to the weakness of his lungs.

CHAMPION TREE FELLERs.
Beavers Are More Expert Than the
Fest lur,beriacks.

Beavers Are More Expert Than the
Eest Lumberjacks.
The most expert lumberjack is in
ferior to the beaver as a tree Teller.
He cuts down trees in the most Scien-
tific way. He can fell tree so 1t will
fall toward the pond where he wishes
to construct his home, thus saving
himself unnecessary work.
After the trees are felled the con-
struction work begins. He works
chiefly by night, for he is nocturnal
prowler. Tie moon is his lantern, the
quiet of the night his inspiration, his
sharp teeth are his Ratchet and chisel,
and his little paws are his means Of
conveyance, his spade, his hammer
and his trowel. His hard. fat hairless
and scaly tail is a propeller when
swimming and a balance when he Is
cutting timber, for he stands on his
hind legs while gnawing down trees.
The beaver is a strict vegetarian,
and his diet consists chiefly Of banks,
tender shoots and water plants.
To flood low grounds the beavers
sometimes have to build dam ex-
ceeding fifty feet in length. They
usually lay it out with the curve fac
ing upstream. The foundation is built
of poles four or five feet long by an
inch or two thick. These they lay
crosswise. filling all crevices with mud.
The beaver digs up mud with his
fore feet, then holds it close to his
breast with his fore legs, swims to
where he has started his dam, and
having deposited it in its proper place
beats the mud down with his paws
not with his tail, as has been believed

TIE NEGRO OF THE
SOUTH Is LOYAL
AND PATRIOTIC

Atlanta, Ga. March 21--That the
negroes Of Georgia and the south are
getting stirred up with as much pa
triotic fervor in connection with the
prospect Of war with Germany as are
he white people is evidenced ~ ut
terances OF negro lsadesr in Atlanta
and other communities which have a
large colored population.
Hundreds of Atlanta negroes will
enlist If there is a call for volunteers,
and in this connection the following
statement by a prominent negro lead
er is interesting
While in chains We fought in the
revolutionary war to free our masters
from the ycke OF Englands tyranny
and when the struggle was over re-
turned again to slavery. We have a
record to defend. and no treason,
thank God, to atone or explain. No
negro has ever insulted the flag. No
negro has ever struck down presi-
has ever sold a~military map or a gov
erAment secret TO a foreign power No
negro las ever run under fire Accuse
US of what you will. sometimes justly
and sometimes wrongly, but no man
can roint to 9 single instance of dis
loyalty to the land that finally made
US free"

both the British and French armies
in France have made further notable
gains.
On their part of the line the French
have thrown their cavalry to within

and also have reoccupied considerable
territory between the Somme and the
Aisne.
Paris reports that the losses of the
French troops in their pursuit of the
Germans have been insignificant
The British are also making nota-
bic advances toward Cambria
The theory that the Germans pro-
pose to halt their retreat on the Hin

military critics in the allied capitals.

Berlin of the plans of the German
general stag and the purpose and
meaning OF the dramatic retreat Of

that the German retirement has al
