French Woman Farmers.

Among the war recompenses that
will be handed down with greatest
pride from generation TO generation In
French families are the diplomas, now
framed and hanging on the walls Of
many a farmhouse attesting how the
peasant woman and farmers wives,
widows and daughters overcame war
difficulties.
The actual cash returns win equal a
record year in time Of peace, though,
excepting oats and potatoes, the yield
was below the average.
This country of Brie, which is gen.
orally second only to the Beauce in
wheat production and first of all for
oats, stands at the head Of both, yet
this crop was sown almost entirely
by women, girls and boys too young
or men too old to shoulder the rifle.
German prisoners Of war, volunteers
from the camps Of interned civilian
Austrians and Germans, a few terri
torials on leave, a good many Partisan
schoolboys and. last. but not least, the
American self-binder, helped with the
harvest; but with the exception OF
the self-binder, the help was available
only in scattered spots.

Andrew Carr agreed to take young
ErslSine into his law office because
he was the son Of his old friend. He
kept him there because he was max
ing good.
Erred hasn't done anything extra
ordinary so far" he confided to his
chum, but | trusted him with a pref
ty important case the other day, and
he put IL through. The trouble is he
has bee in his bonnet. Well, / sup
pose you've got to expect IL. Like all
young fellows he has fallen in love,
| and wants to get married"
"Well, what's to hinder?" asked the
other.
THE trouble is the girl has just been
| graduated from q law school, and he
wants me to take her into the office.
Well, / won't have it. l don't believe
in woman lawyers. 1 won't have the
office all upset. If she wants to marry
him let her stay home and make a
home for him. If he persists in his
fool notions l suppose I'll have to part
with him." And the old man heaved
a sigh of regret.
Fred Erskine had begun work on a
very important case. 1t seemed rath-
er strange to him that Carr had en-
trusted him with such a big under
taking, only STIMULATING that he was to
be occasionally advised as to the prog
ress Of the affair, and consulted If
necessary.
He conflded the matter to Edna Fer
ris, his fiancee, in whom at this stage
of his career he confided everything.

gentleman is Just trying me out. If

Why you could work alone for years
before you could get such a start ~
"Yes, know that. But you want to
practice-and you know we must be

fields demonstrative affection for her
famous husband is related by Lord
Mayo. He had gone to see Lord Bea-

he would wait for him in the library.
Accordingly he took his place there in
Lord Beaconsfield's chair, little think,

ladyship entered in the cleaning and
threw her arms round his neck, ex-

Then Fred kissed her, and wondered
If there ever was another such a girl

Edna became so interested in the
case, she urged him to let her help
him, and so instead Of the ordinary
talk of two young people very much
in love with each other the evenings
were given up to points of common
law and Jurisprudence. The young
man became more and more impressed
with the clear thinking and logical
brain Of his counselor.

A few days after this, Edna received
telephone call TO come to the Ben
welt hospital. Mr.. Erskine had met
with slight accident. and wished TO
see her. Almost distracted, the girl
hurried to the hospital. She found the
young man with bandaged head, arm,
and leg stretched on a cot He had
been struck by an automobile, and
was as he expressed rather run out

tried to reassure Edna by saying II
was nothing serious, and he would be

FORGET DATE HAS CHANGED
That SO Many Forgot TO Write 1917
Proves That Man Is Creature
Of Habit.

"That man is creature Of habit,
remarked the secretary Of large bust

the letters we receive. This letter
which hold I'm my hand contains IN
error generally made ut this time of
the year, not because the writer's are
careless but because they have culti'
waited the habit Of writing a certain
thing mechanically.
During the life of the year now ex-
pired the writer's had grown accus-
toned to putting down the numerals
1916. Doubtless at first II required Of
fort on their part to bear in mind that
the last figure of the set was 9 and not
5, but after n time the writing OF o
became a mechanical act rather than
q mental act. 1t became second ma
ture for them to write the date cor
rectly.
"With the birth of a new year, how
ever, the mechanical writer's must ex-
ert mental effort. When they don't
they err. Take this case, for instance.
You see the writer has turned out
what he considers a perfect letter. He
probably reread 1t and sealed IL salts
fed that 1t was correct. But he never
thought TO look at the date, at least
the year part of it. The result is that
instead of dating it January, 1917, he
has dated it January, 1916. Just q
mechanical error, that's all.
"a peculiar phase of the matter is
that the error is usually made by per-
sons who write their own correspond
ence, especially in long hand. Stenog-
raphers who are paid to write the cor
respondence of others on typewriters
have developed the habit of being ac-
curate."

full of vanity, was too poor to pur-
chase a watch; so he hung bullet on
the end of chain. The king, knowing
his foible and inclined to rally him,
one day said:

watch; what time is it by yours?"
"Sire," said the man, drawing the
bullet from his fob, my watch marks
neither five nor six o'clock; but tells
me every moment that it is my duty to
die for your majesty"

mine, that you may be able to tell the
