Yes, Dixmude was the younger sis

to tired eyes like prospect of green

crowd. The same old North and Roman
bridges, the bridge of the PEACE and Of
the Alice, which spanned the Krekel-
beck, were never trod by feet hurrying
from one table d'hOte to another. The
calm burghers of Dixmude had cross
ed and recrossed them, in the hard
frost of winter or in the golden eve
nings of autumn, when the sun
came to die amid prodigious magic of
light.
The charm of Dixmude made es-
pecial appeal to artists, and the Paris
ian Leon Cassel was one Of its most
fervent admirers. He left Paris every
summer to plunge again into the in
spiration which came to him from the
old walls peopled with ,old memories,
and it is largely thanks to him that
Dixmude is still living for us, though
many of his finest pictures have, alas,

lers and Poperinghe, drovers from
Ypres and Furnes shouted their
broad jokes at one another as they
pressed on to the Woumenstraat. The
butter market presented just before
the war spectacle as stirring and
as picturesque as it had presented for
centuries, and with little difference.

SEEMED TO UPSET THEORY
Meat Eater Had No Chance at All
With Vegetarian Supposed to Be
Meek and LowIy.

Many of the things we are quite sure
of are probably not true. For instance,
one cannot rely upon the theory that
the diet controls the man-that the
vegetarian is, by virtue of his diet,
meek and docile, while the confirmed
and habitual meat eater is ferocious
animal when aroused.
Mr.. Brandon, in our block, is con-
sistent vegetarian-not only believes
in it, but urges the merits of his sys-
tenn upon his friends. He was ecstatfc
about the fine, tender spinach he was
permitted to enjoy, and made the
neighbors weary singing its praise
says writer in the Seattle Post-Intel
ligencer.
Well, yesterday morning when
slipped over to pay my meat bill, Mr.
Brandon was wrangling with the
blu! Sher about his account. 1t appears
there was cipher too much in his to-
tai, or something-it was $40 and Bran
don thought it should be 81. Well, any
way, the butcher lost his temper and
called Brandon a liar, and you ought
to have seen that vegetarian land or
the butcher! He banged him first on
one side of the face and then on the
other, slammed him down in a corner
and kicked him in the ribs; it looked
like he was intending to take the
butcher apart when the help inter
fered.
If man can work up that sort OF
action on spinach, radishes and gra
ham gems, why should anybody buy
meat? And another thing, what was
the ferocious meat eater doing while
the vegetarian was at work on him
Nothing, absolutely nothing! No, in
deed; he didn't even have time to gel
modified. 1t seems to be plain thai
this theory Of vegetarian docility has
got to be revised.

CREDIT LOST FOR HOME RUN
Batsman Winning Game by Knocking
Ball Out of Park Should Be
Given Home Run Hit. -

When the baseball rules are getting
their next revision, whenever that
may be, an effort will be made to
change the present Interpretation in
regard to home runs which decide ball
games. Under the system now In
vogue a batsman may hit the ball
outside a park, but If the runners on
bases settle the game the hitter does
not get credit for his home run, and
it does not go into the records as
such. This is an injustice to the
batsman, says a writer in an ex-
change. While the run does not score
in the game, since it is not nee
essary, there is no reason why it
