A LONG WATT

From the Manchester Guardian.
 This story is well known in the camps, but somehow the soldiers have managed to keep it to themselves. On a certain part of the British line-so the story uns-information was leaking out, and a special reward was offered for the capture of the spy. The soldiers took up the hunt keenly, and one night while a member of a patrol was out in No Mans Land he entered shell-shatt ttered ruin and discovered wrnkled old man whose clothing was all rags and tatters "Got you at last!' said the soldier Come out of It. you old bighter; you're the man that's been spying on us for Jerry, are you?" The old man vigorously protested that he was a patriotic Frenchman. i've been here since 1S70.' he said, and I haven't been relieved yet"

families concerned had word to say. In the row which precipitated the dam age suit, there were female relatives in abundance, but the hapless bride groom was the only man present.
 The revelations made by Mrs. Wess- lau would indicate that asking her mother for permission to marry a young woman, instead of her father, is not limited to the lucubrations of joke writers. It happens in real life. If it is no easy matter to approach a stern father and ask for his daugh- ter what must be the feelings of that luckless suitor compelled to lay the case before a domestic czarlna! Even when father is to all intents and pur- poses under mothers thumb, there IS at least show of giving him prece- dence in such momentous decisions. Are we coming to a new order ot things, based not on woman's right to vote, but on her undisputed sover- eignty over the man whose name she bears, sweeping away that long es- tablished fiction, even in outward forms and ceremonials, that the head Iof a household perforce wears trou- |sers? :.

 Quietly, it seems; there was no racket when the Yacht am Rhein began. And yet what says the poet?

 Wogenprall, not a bit of it. "The troops, after their long hike, went to billets quietly"
 ''Zum Rhein, gum Rhein, gum Deutschen Wer will des Stromes Huter sein?'
 Why the First, Second and Thirty-sec- ond American divisions, to be sure; at least at Coblenz, while the Third Ameri- can division guards our Rhine at Mainz. "Lieb' VaterIand, magst ruhig sein; Fest steht und treu die Yacht die Wacht

 cal he-man, full of substantial thoughts and free in expressing him self. There is nothing of mannerism about him. Did you not know him to be King you would pronounce him wholesome good fellow, and man every inch of him. ready for fight or a frolic.
 And the King of England is not King as we have understood the ques- tion as applied to Germany or Russia or Spain. He is really figurehead who is called a King because the people like it. He has no power compared to our President. He is simply the head of a great democratic government who car ries out the will of the people in ap- pointing a Prime Minister. selected by the party which elects thA majority of members of Parliament. The cabinet of ministers and Parliament govern Great Britain-the most democratic of all governments.
 The present King George, of Eng land, mingles with the people. On state occasions he wears decided costumes, because it is the custom of his coun- try, and the people like it, but he at tempts to exercise no ,kingly powers as we over here construe such. He likes Americans and shows it in every way. He tells a good story on himself An American General was lunching with him, and the conversation turned on the subject of what the world would be like after the war

We do not know much about medi- cine. But we do know that a male pa- tient is never out of danger as long as the trained nurse is pretty.
 It is a good plan to look ahead But there are men who spend all of each day planning what they are going to do tomorrow
 As much. as young husband obeys his wife's instructions, her words never carry as much weight as her biscuits
 Strange as it may seem, Agnes, an aviator does not wear swallow-tail coat when he goes out flying.
 If you want to get your wife mad cut a paragraph out of a newspaper and leave the paper lying around where she can find it. She'll have nervous pros- tration until she finds out what it was that you were trying to conceal from her.
 The reason she thinks that he looks like a king when they are on their honeymoon is because few years later she will think that he looks like a deuce.
 When a young man has roadster and a steady girl it doesn't take him long to learn to drive with one hand. Funny how a girl would rather cook and wash for some no-count dub all the rest of her life than have people call her an old maid.

 The answer of the Christmas roll call for membership in the Red Cross Is not the gift of money. It is the greater gift of faith and personal devotion. Hen ry P. Davison, chairman, says: "A large membership in the Red Cross means more over there than money. This is why every man, woman and child will be en- listed under it's banner if the plans of those behind the great movement are carried out.
 The Red Cross is the great international erhood. of all-conquering humanity. The end of the war that has made the world safe for democracy will bring something that was not counted on when the ob- ject of libertys fighting forces were giv- en their first official interpretation. Fun hood will be those of the allies at the peace table.
 Tn the SlOW1ng OdWn oI pcdco tHc fNcu Cross signals the suffering to keep their spirit. It calls to it's own army to rally with even greater energy. now that the banners of the combating armies are being furled. The society carries to the men and women and cniicren who have come out of the hell of ruthlessness tho spirit of the Master who went about doing good. The message of the organi- zation is Aid and Cheer" and its spirit is Carry On.'
 l A Jewish rabbi beautifully says 'The Red Cross is the pittance of atonement we pay for the most moRsr-ous crime

 One from woman was: Why didn't you write your own story about your visit 10 the King and Queen at Sand ringham? Why did you send over and print one written by another?"
 "Chud," said I, "did you ever know a censor? He Is a big double jointed fellow with a pee-wee brain. He is so afraid newspaper man will write something worth the reading that he cuts his stuff out with shears. I wrote my friend W. P. G. Harding three page personal letter from England, telling him something about my trip. MT. Harding showed me the letter in Washington last week. It looked like 8 vacant picture frame. On the top side was My Dear Harding On the bottom of the vacant paper fcame was Hope to see you soon. Yours sin cer ely"
 An interesting letter, said Harding, as he exhibited it to me.
 Well, in England, when we were there, the censor dictated just the character of a wooden story you must chiseI out to pass his master intellect You couldn't even write that you landed in Liverpool or that you fell in a shell hole outside of Courtrai You had to mention a British port or Belgian town.
 In going into France we had to sign statement that we wouldn't tell the name of any place visited or where we were or who was thero. We were sworn to secrecy so long as the war lasted. Letters to my wife written in what now seems my infancy are com ing over occasionally, telling her of things in the forgotten ages.
