A QUIET LIFE THAT COUNTED

Mr.. Knight has recently returned
from a hurried trip TO Western
New York-his old home-where he
was called to conduct the funeral
services Of Mrs. Jane Harrington, a
lady 90 years Of age, whose long
life Of unselfsh kindness earned for
her the affectionate title Of Aunt
Jane"
During her lifetime she saw the
development Of transportation from
the first clumsy steam engines to
the great electric locomotive. She
watched the development Of the BIZ
cycle, the automobile, the flying ma
chine, and the submarine. She wit
messed the improvement OF lighting
from the tallow candle (which she
always preferred) TO the electric
lamp; the telegraph, telephone, pho
nograph, and moving picture have
all arrived since she first saw day.
She lived TO hear the news Of VIC
tory in the Mexican, Civil, Spanish
American and World wars.
She passed with serenity through
twenty-four presidential admins
tratiOns, and cast her first vote
last summer with the other women
Of the Empire State.
Since the war began she has
spent most cf her time knitting
socks for the soldiers. And in rec
ognition Of this service and her
great age she received personal
letters OF thanks and congratu at; IN
from President Woodrow Wilson.

FRENCH DECORATE AMERICAN
GRAVES

In recent number OF the Satur-
day Evening Post the writer OF an
interesting article describes the
scene in "a French cemetery on
All-Souls' Day. The occasion was
the decoration OF the graves OF our
American boys, who were buried
there, by a delegation OF French
citizens from a neighbOring village.
In conversation with the writer Of
the article a member OF the delega-
ton spoke as follows:
1--WE desire that the name OF each
family that adopts a grave may be
registered, So that, should the
adults die. the children Of the next
generation, as a sacred charge, may
carry on the obligation which is
now to be laid upon their parents
and transmitted as legacy TO all
who bear their name. We would
make sure OF this, so that no mat
ter how long your fallen braves rest
in the soil Of France, their graves
shall not be as the neglected graves
of strangers 10 us. but symbolical
at least, may be the graves OF our
dead sons.
1--WE wish 30 do these things for
more reasons than one: We wish TO
do them because thereby we may
express in our own small, poor way
the gratitude we feel to America.
We wish 10 do them because OF the
thought that some stricken mother
across the seas in America will
perhaps feel a measure OF comfort
and consolation in knowing the
grave OF her boy shall always be

The Norefos was overtakcn by the

communication with the undcrsea

gone eight days, and upon her return
to the Norefos the sailors heard that
she had been in scalch Of British

The Ncrcfos soon ran short of fuel
and an effort was made to utilize
green peanuts from the cargo, but
they soon developed Il gas which
caused numerous small "Arl0 ,ions in
the fire boxes and created such a
stream of sparks through the tunnels
that the ship nearly caught fire. So
no more peanuts w.rc used, and for
