What Willie needs right now is
little friendly advice from cousin
Nickie
PIavinc blackboard,

Do YOU know what blackboard Is?
It's Il kind of Il game first played in
a primitive and mild sort of fashion
by Rocky mountain goats and since
moderniZed and made difficult by the
American army. The apparatus on
which one plays blackboard is Il mixed
breed contrivance, by Washboard out
of Corduroy Road, to use the racing
vernacuar. 1t is made up of narrow,
slippery strips of rounded wood laid
croSswise about two inches apart, and
is supposed to keep ones feet out OF
the mud. 1t does! While playing duck
board ones feet are usually in the air.
1t is called duckboard l suppose, be-
cause of some silly belief that duck
could walk it without falling. Even
airplaneS flying at height of less
than 5000 feet have been seen to wig
gle and dip drunkenly while passing
above trench lines floored with duck
boards. And when 1t is laid upon tho
surface of the earth and there are no
handy trench walls to help Out-well
it's lucky for Charley Chaplin that the
wide world didn't see me operate.
Nothing could ever again be funny to
man who saw me play blackboard out
there in the comparative open of that

DUBLIN BOOTBLACKS IN 1880
Polish Used at That Time Was CON-
bnation of Lampblack and
Rotten Eggs.

Among the populace of Dublin In
1880 the shoeblacks were a numerous
and formidable body. The polish they
used was lampblack and eggs, for
which they purchased all tlat were
rotten in the markets. Their imple-
ments consisted of three-legged stool,
basket containing blunt knife,
called spudd, u painters brush and
an old wig.
A gentleman usually went out in the
morning with dirty boots or shoes,
sure to find a shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner of the street. The
gentleman put his foot in the lap of
the shoeblack without ceremony, and
the artist scraped it with his spudd,
wiped it with his wig and then laid on
his composition as thick us black paint
with his painters brush.
The stuff dried with a rich polish, re-
quiring no friction, and little inferior
to the elaborated modern fluids, save
only the intollrable odors eXhaled from
eggs in high state of putridity, and
which filed any house which was en-
tered before the composition was quite
dry, and sometimes even tainted the
air of fashionable drawing rooms.-

SiIvery Bark of the Yellow Birch.

The bark of the yellow birch can be

Is unique among trees. The yellow

birch, has bark more tinsel-like than

do not allow the appreciation of the
useful to overcome your appreciation
of the beautiful. 1t is true that the
bark may thus be used for kindling
and it is also probably true that the
removal of the loose bark does not in

the beauty of the tree, as you then de'
prive it of it's chief characteristic. The
manner in which the bark breaks on
the main trunk, expands and rolls back
in ribbonlille curls and strips, which
long remain attached and rustic in
every passing breeze, could not fail tC
elicit the admiration Of every lover OF
the forest.
1t is noticeable that on old trunks
the character of the bark is different.

Soldiers Appreciation.

Recently woman well known in
America, who has devoted all her
time to relief work since the war be-
gan, was visiting hospital. The COM
manding officer had sent u military
car for her She entered the car just
as an ambulance filled with wounded
passed by. AS she noticed the thin,
pale faces, tears came into her eyes.
The soldier-chaufIeur asked if she
was ill.
"No," she said, "thcse are tears of
gratitude and pride"
Madame" replied the boy, simply,
"if l thought that my being a soldier
was worthy Of but one Of your tears,
l should feel that l had not lived in

BRITISH WIPE OUT TURKS
AIIenby Captures $4,000 and

Across tho Jordan, Where
Arabs Wait.

London.-Nazareth, the holy shrine
of Christian vilization-indeed, prac'
tically the whole of Israelitish Pales'
tine-is in the hands Of the British
army, whose victory over the Turks
Is much greater than was reported
day or two ago. The Turkish army,
although it was found to be larger
than was expected, has been complete
ly broken up, and the Christian pow
ers are again in possession OF the
Holy Land.
More than $4,000 Turkish prisoners
were taken west of the Jordan, with
12O guns, four airplanes and an I'M
mense amount of transport, railway
rolling stock and locomotives. The
total British advance from the start is
90 miles.
British cavalry are galloping toward
the shores Of the Sea of Galilee and
are finding little left to oppose their
sweep No estimate has been made OF
the number Of Turkish dead, but 1t is
very large the British casualties, on
the other hand, are remarkably light,
The Turkish losses are likely to be
very much greater than the figure
stated. as what Is left Of their army
Is in dlsorganized flight and the Brit
ish have cut off all methods Of egress
except a few fords over the Jordan
east of Nazareth. If they cross the
river they will fall into the hands OF
the Arabs, who are waiting for them.
The battle provided one Of the great
cavalry rides Of history. For 60 miles,
perhaps more, the British yeomanry.

RUNS HER OWN CANTEEN
Woman Reaches Goodies With Pole to
PASSING Troops.

Mrs. Scott Lee, an aged negro wom-
an Mt Ashtabula o., is happy because
she has found way at last to cheer
the soldiers on their way as they pass
through here en- route from camp to
coast for overseas service.
Mrs. Lee, who lives near a railroad
track, looked wistfully at the troop
trains as they sped through, wonder
Ing If there was any way in which she
could make the long trip more pleasant
for the men. But the trains went
through so fast she almost despaired
until she finally hit upon scheme
that works to perfection. She got
long pole, and to it she fastens bundles
Of magazines and lunches, and as the
trains whiz past she stands on the
station platform and reaches her gifts
to the men as they lean from the car
windows.

Our Men Now Battling Hun
Will Be Welcomed Home by
Veterans of Previous Wars

It Is certain that some Of the Amer
lean soldiers now battling the Hun
will be still living in the year 1000.
What world changes they will have
witnessed, observes Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
James Parton, the historian, says
that in 1888 he talked with two Eng
lishmen who had fought against Gen
eral Jackson at New Orleans 73 years
before.
There are still living about 500 vet
Grams, according to the pension rec
ords, who were in the Mexican war
which ended 70 years ago.
Eleven survivors of Bunker Hill
heard Daniel Webster speak 70 years
after that historic battle.
Since 100000 Union soldiers Of our
Civil war were only sixteen years of
age or younger, it is not surprising
that scores of thousands of Grants
Boys in Blue still enjoy vigorous
health SO years after Appomattox.
The last soldier Of Waterloo lived
more than 80 years after the fight.

CALLED FOR QUICK TRINKI,.U
Skipper of Burning Ship, With Cargo
of High Explosives, in No Posi-
ton to Hesitate.

The Cephalonia was deeply loaded
filled with II. N. II. for the Italian
army, writes Il. Il. Cropley in the At
lantic. She was well in the midst
of the convoy proceeding down the
Thames, and had just passed beyond
the submarine net, when Il thin pencil
of smoke was seen to rise from the
corner of No. | hatch. 1t happened
to catch the third officers eye first,
and ne called Sammy'S attention to it.
In two shakes Sammy had sounded
four blasts on the siren, and a flag
huttercd from the yard-arm, which
caused all other ships to give him
wide berth, as the propeller of the
Cephalonia churncd up the sea in her
frantic effort to ba'': and turn as if
to return to London. A ship on fire
should return to port. bot Sammy, with
Il cargo of II. n. r. wasn't the kind of
a skipper to risk blowing cottages and
kiddies into the next world in an eff
fort to save his own skin. No; he
turned the Cephalonia till her stern
was head to the breeze, and slowly
kept her backing seaward to restrain
the fire, if possible, from spreading
aft to his chambers of II. n. T.;
backed her away from port and other
ships, so that, if she did blow up, the
military loss would be confined to the
Cephalonia alone. And all the while
he was wondering what moment Il u
boat would pop up and send a torpedo
into him. or he would strike drift
ing mine.

Taking the Philosophic View.

II don't see you out In your auto any
more" said the first north slider to his
friend. Last summer you We're gone
all the time; no day was too hot, no
road too dusty, no storm too hard, no
discomfort too great to keep you at

"WeIl," mused the second, "the price
of everything is getting so high that
auto riding for pleasure is really
luxury and not necessity, SO that 1t
was no trouble at all for me and my
wife to find for the first time this sum-
mer that the roads are hot and dusty,
that it Is whole lot Of trouble to
clean up the machine after long ride,
