How They Shoot In China.

Details of the battle in Peking 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 Herald-Republican.
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-
ber of killed and wounded among 'in-
nocent bystanders."
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 harmonize
their Internal differences.

ABOUT LILIES
BY E. VAN sENTHUYsEN,

If ordered early In September, lily
bulbs will reach you any time from
the latter part of the month until No
vember; and it Is well to have the bed
prepared in advance. Prepare the bed
now, and as the season advances cover
it with six inches Of litter of any kind,
and then If the bulbs do not come too
late. the ground will be in condition to
receive them when they do come.
Again cover the ground with a lit
ter, and in the early spring remove
it. Lilies like a well-drained, moist
soil, deep and well-worked over with
fine. well-decayed manure.
When the bulbs are set in the ground
handful of sand should be placed
around each bulb and through this the
root will reach the rich soil.
In my garden I would have all the
''lilies Of the field" as we'll as those
Of the garden. But those Of special no.
tice where space and purse are limit
ed, are the pure white madonna lily,
which blossoms in May or June; the
Canada lily, which is found in our
fields and is bright crimson in color,
with dark spots, and blossoms in June
or July; the coral lily which comes
to us in May; the longiforum multi
forum, another pure white beauty.
Then we have the speciosum, white
with a green band running through
the center; blood-red and white. the
latter heavily spotted with darker
crimson.
The golden banded Japanese lily is
one of the handsomest and comes
just when we need 1t most, in late
summertime.

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

For 27 years Martin Cooney has
been superintendent Of horses for the
fire department Of Detroit, Mich, says
the News Of that city. He has bought
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 a furlough,
or even kept his Sundays for himself.
Night and day he has watched over
the horses.
In winter, when the horses, steam
ing from their swift run to the fires,
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
were sold to farmers and not to city
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 a
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 farm near Detroit.
"When I Joined the fire department
we had about 13O 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. 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 its full period of use
fulness Is passed."

The Boon Of q Short Memory.

A Canadian corporal writes that the
condition of the roads" often appears
perfect pandemonium until one gets
used to II. One Of tn, strains that
counts in this war is on coming out Of
the trenches to go to a rest billet. Up
In the line a 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 its way for
four or I'VE 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 q
bath. a shave. and clean kit, there viii
be different men; for memory IL mer-
cifully short in this war. and the COM
forts or discomforts Of the moment are
the things that count. ~.

Burned Without Being Consumed"
The boys of ten and twelve had been

questions with the rapidity Of a ma

"Now, Harry, it's your turn"
"Yessum," was the confident an

has been slashed, and soon new plants
will appear.
Perennials sown IN the summer
should have developed into good
thrifty plants. by this time. Plant
where they are to bloom next summer,
or pot for the window.
Late in September pot the prim-
roses and cineraria seedlings grown in
frames. Do not allow them to become
pot-bound until they are ready to
flower.
If the mignonette is your favorite
flower, September is a good time to
insure a good supply for the holidays.
Sow three or four seeds in thumb
pots, and plunge them in a box of
sand. Sow orly the seeds Of the large,
Towering kind and thin to one plant
in a pot. Repot when the pot is full
Of roots until the plant Is established
in flve-inch pots.
Secure all the fallen leaves you can,
for they are invaluable about the gar
den. Use them as a mulch and protec-
ton for the flower beds and individual
plants and shrubs; bank pits, sold
frames and hot beds with them. Pile
them in a corner of the garden or bury
them and make leaf mold. Store them
near the chicken house, to be used for
the scratching shed.
Give transplanted flowers plenty Of
time to recoup. Do not water them too
much, or the soil will become sour
and further retard the growth of the
plant. Do not place in too warm a
window, for until the growth starts
they want to be in a shady place.
If plant looks sickly. do not at
once begin to stimulate 1t with liquid
fertilizer. Do not repot 1t until the
the growth starts. Amateurs are lia-
BILE to give too large pots.

~ lib 11OllASSos oCASoASSuo A -
Pope:
In acknowledgment of the communi-
cation of your Holiness to the bellig-
erent peoples, dated August l, 1917,
the President of the United States re-
quests me to transmit the following
reply:
Every heart that has not been blind
ed and hardened by this terrible war
must be touched by this moving ap-
peal of his Holiness, the Pope; must
feel the dignity and force of the hui
name and generous motives which
prompted it, and must fervently wish
that we might take the path of peace
he SO persuasively points out; but 1t
would be folly to take it If it does
not, in fact, lead to the goal he pro-
poses.
the stern facts and upon nothing else.
1t is not a mere cessation of arms he
desires: it is a stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again, and it must be a
matter of very sober judgment that
will insure US against it.
To Free Peoples From MiIitarism.
His Holiness in substance proposes
that we return to the status quo ante
bellum, and that then there be gen.
eral conformation, disarmament and a
concert of nations based upon an &C
ceptance of the principle Of arbitra-
ton; that by a similar concert free
dom of the seas be established and
that the territorial claims of France
and Italy, the perplexing problems OF
the Balkan states and the restitution
of Poland be left to such conctliatory
adjustments as may be possible in the
new temper of such peace. due re-
gard being paid to the aspirations OF
the peoples whose political fortunes
and affiliations will be involved.
1t is manifest that no part Of this
program can be successfully carried
out unless the restitution Of the status
quo ante bellum furnishes firm and
satisfactory basis for it. The object
of this war is to deliver. the free peo-
pies of the world from the menace and
the actual power of vast military es-
tablishment controlled by an irrespon-
sible government which, having Sc
cretly planned to dominate the world
proceeded to carry the plan out with
out regard either to the sacred obli-
cations of treaty or the long-estab-
lished practices and long-cherished
principles Of international action and
honor; which chose its own time for
the war; delivered its blow fiercely
and suddenly: stopped at no barrier
either of law or Of mercy; swept a
whole continent within the tide OF
blood-not the blood Of soldiers only
but the blood of innocent women and
children also and of the helpless poor:
and now stands balked, but not de-
feated, the enemy Of four-fifths of the
world.
Would Need Hostile combIna nations.
This power Is not the German peo
pie. 1t is no business Of ours how
that great people came under its con-
troll or submitted with temporary zest
to the domination of its purpose; but
i. is our business to see to it that the
history of the rest of the world Is no
longer left to its handling.
