A Little Girls Pride.

When I was youngster was anx-
ious to wear glasses and insisted that
my eyes were weak. My mother took
me to an oculist, writes Mrs. G. MD,
in the Chicago Herald and [ noticed
after he had tested my eyes he and my
mother had a consultation. I went
home with the glasses, with the in
struction was to wear them to school
the next day for the first time. I
obeyed the Instructions. On the way
to school / met several of my chums
who, of course, remarked about the
new addition. / was quite proud Of
them and said:
ooh, yes, can see so much better
now"
Giggles went around the class and
finally the teacher came to see what
the trouble was. Then she too laugh
ed. She asked me why I had to have
such thick, heavy glasses. Taking
them off | discovered only the frames
and no glass in them at all!
The explanation was that I didn't
need glasses and mother had leagued
herself with the oculist to cure me Of
the foolish desire.

How They Do Ii.

''What chances actors take!" you
may exclaim when you see a motion
picture showing a man and a lion, with
a none too pleasant expression, in a
hollow log together, each apparently
unaware of the presence of the other.
1t seems a pity to spoil the effect Of
such a good thriller by telling the truth
about the filming. The lion alone was
taken during one exposure Of the film.
When he had bowed himself out of the
log and back into his cage the man was
allowed to take the center of the
screen, or rather of the log, and was
photographed in proper relation to the
lion, on the second exposure of the
same film. But on the screen, of course,
they both appear in the log at the same
time.-Popular Science Monthly.

The old naval canteen is one of the
sights of Wei-heiwei. It was original

grated with Chinese carvings and til

When Brandon was taking off his

floor He must have gathered it up
with his coat when he took it from
the chair in Marguerite's room, he de-

It was a letter to Marguerite, and
when his eyes lit upon one sentence he
could not refrain from reading the
whole thing.
It was from a publishing house, one
Of the best-known ones, and it con-

her. "FOdds and Ends is one of the
best books we have published this

him to gasp. He finished the letter,
then dropped it with a groan. The
paper had gone to press half hour
before and his review on "Odds and

He didn't get much sleep that night.
He couldn't remember just what he

Miniature Cyclone Does Minor
Damage.

Lancaster Herald: A miniature cy-
clone swept through the south and east
part Of town last Friday evening about
80 and blew down a number of or
chard trees. It also tore the porch
from Fred Aupperle's house on the
Platteville road. People up town no
ticed the high wind but thought moth
ing of it. Further south it caused some
alarm. Reuben Holzinger, east of
town, said that his silo was moved
slightly but no harm done. The storm
was probably the taile of the Iowa

north part of that state and furthe

BLAMEs GERMANY FOR WAR
Milwaukee GermanIa- F4eroId, In a

MisIed by Teutonic Officials
Great Britain Exonerated.

Milwaukee, May S.-Milwaukee's
great German daily, which, with it's
weekly editions, circulates all through
the central West, has reversed it's
opinion as to the responsibility for the
world war now raging in Europe. In
remarkable editorial entitled San

old, prompted by the revelations made
public through the publication of the
diary of Prince Lichnowsky, imperial
German ambassador to the court of
st. James in the days Immediately pre-
ceding the opening of hostilities, an
nounces that it had been misled by
the German governments official state
ments into believing that England's
commercial Jealousy forced Germany
into the war. In announcing it's
change in opinion, the Germania-Her-
old exonerates Great Britain from re-
sponsibility for the war on the state
ments made by Prince Lichnowsky
and corroborated by the admissions of
Won JagOw and other German states
men, and makes the assertion that the
crime of starting the war must rest
upon the landed and Industrial junk

MUST Revoke EXEMPTIONS
City Is to Furnish 1877 Men and rs Are
Called from the Country District
Double Number Called from Keno
sha of Former Calls Camp Grant.

Members of the Kenosha city and
Kenosha county exemption boards were
staggered this morning when they re-
ceived the official calls for the May
quota of men for the national army.
Kenosha county from its two boards
must furnish two hundred and seventy
men for entrainment during the week
beginning May 25th.
This will be the largest number Of
men ever entrained from Kenosha in a
single day and nearly double as great
as the number of men sent when
the two volunteer units marched away
to war in the middle Of the summer
last year.
The cali on the city board Is for one
hundred and ninety-seven men, more
than double any quota yet called by
the government. This will mean that
a hundred men who had expected that
they would not be called for service
until possibly late in the fall will get
calls to arrange their affairs and be
ready to go to the training camps the
end of this month. Eighty men is the
largest quota that the city has been
called to send to camp Under any past
call. The call for one hundred and
ninety-seven men means that the city
board must call at least two hundred
and twenty men for mobilization for
May 25th. With the usual number of
delinquents it is probable that nearly
all of these men will be called into
service at that time The board must
work overtime to get ready Tor tht en-
trainment Of this record number of men
and it is probable that The formal
selection Of the men will not be com
pleted until some time the last of this
week. The members of the board will
announce the list making up the quota
just as soon as possible.
The call is going to fall heavy on the
farms of Kenosha county as the county
exemption board must furnish seventy
three men together with men to make
up such vacancies as may have resulted
from men being turned down after
being sent to camp in the last two
quotas. This is considerably more
than double the number ever sent
by the county before.
In order TO meet this call twill be

into the "deferred classification list"
and take men who have been granted
deferred classification on account of
their employment. It is declared that
less than score of men in Class 1
are now ready for service on the
county list and the other men must
be called at once.
"We have plenty of men certified in
Glass / to make up our list, :" declared
C member of the city board. In fact
we have nearly thousand men who
are ready to be called into the service
and it is going to be easy for us to
meet this call and succeeding calls. We
had not anticipated so large a call this
month and the work of getting ready
for the entrainment of the men win be
considerable, but we VIII be able to do
it and give the men considerable no
tice of their call to service. The order
closing up classifcations is going to be
distinct help to Us and we viii not
have to wait for lot of men to have
their cases re-considered In hopes that
they can still get deferred classified
ton. We will be ready with the men
Just as soon as the order comes
for entrainment. I"
The formal order issued on Saturday
night by the adjutant general provides
that all men drawn from Wisconsin
ILL - -on4 n Nor,o Grant ~ po.oI-
ford, Illinois. This viii be the first
quota of men to go from Kenosha to
Camp Grant, but this viii be a well
coined change. Camp Grant is admitted
to be one of the finest environments
erected by the government and many
Kenosha people who have visited there
declare that it is an ideal place for the
training of the soldiers. It is expected
that later on, possibly in June, Kenosha
and other lake shore county men win
again be ordered sent to Camp Custer.
Kenosha is going to have busy time
saying farewells to soldiers in the next
two weeks, as her quota is going
to be equal to nearly three full militia
companies
Men who know that their order num-
Der is close to the lists recently called
should be getting their houses in order
in order to be ready for the mobihza-
ton.
The adjutant general has given ont
with this call statement of volunteers
showing just what the various districts
in the state are furnishing. The gross
quota for Kenosha county under the
present big call is one hundred and six
men and the county is credited with
seventeen volunteers. Kenosha city
gross quota under the call was four
hundred and seventy-three and the city
is credited with one hundred and
ninety4one volunteers.
