Body of Water in Central Africa Has
Most Curious Effect on Minds
of Travellers.

Cold and gray are the waters which
Lake Tchad spreads over the lowlands
of central Africa. The traveller in
Africa finds the mystery of the dark
continent more haunting and unfath-
enable here than in the battling maZes
of the Jungle or in the silent smile of
the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the
shallow waters about and whisper their
secrets through the reeds" But the
lake makes no answering condolences.
1t stretches on and on, measuring its
miles of surface in sweeping wave
lengths.
AS far as the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rushes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses.
Here and there the line Of the gray ex-
panse is broken by slender islands
bearing up a few round-topped native
huts, outlined dimly against the sky
line. The effect is that of a painting
seen through gray glasses, reducing
the whole to a low key. 1t Is in the
grayness that the lakes effect of mys-
terry lies, the grayness that hovers
dull and cherries over waving reeds.
The traveller gazing across Lake
Tchad for the first time feels the thrill
of discovery. The knowledge that he
is not the first to stand upon the banks
does not dispe1 the feeling of entering
the most shut-off place in central
Africa.

In and Out.

There is some talk among a number
of the women folk of Woodruff place
of organizing a club to be known as
THE ms and Outs" Not thJt they
wish to be marked as gad-abOuts or
anything of the sort. The proposed
club title refers solely TO a recent
pamphlet issued by the authorities of
''the town within city," which con-
tains the directory of the $500 inhab-
itants The booklet is neatly arranged,
is embellished with pictures of the
towns beauty spots and contains plen-
ty of advertisements as all good direc-
tories should. But somehow In the
course from census taker to printer
the names of about twenty-five of the
good wives of the town were omitted.
The little club idea has been proposed
with one requirement for membership,
which is that the member shall be 'fn'
the town and "out" of the directory

Upheld Traditions of His Corps.

Fighting on his own hook or helping
out when it is somebody else's fight, a
United States marine is pretty likely to
be on the job. Private Carroll Mabe,
a marine attached to the Boston navy
yard, was i'll at the United States naval
hospital at Chelsea, Mass. There was
not much fight left in him. Near
by, in the same hospital, was another
patient, desperately ill, who could not
make his fight alone. He had to have
a TRANSMISSION of blood. Private Mabe
volunteered, and his blood saved the
day. He risked his life as cheerfully
for a fellow servant of the flag as he
would have done for the flag itself, and
the commanding officer of the hospital
in his report warmly praised him for
volunteering this dangerous and try
ing service. The marine proved that
there is as much opportunity for hero
ism ON a sick bed as on a battlefield,
and has been personally commended
by Major General Barnett for his self
sacrifice and heroic act. Private Mabe
enlisted with the marines at Winston
Salem, N. c., in November, 1916

PARIS ALL right"
@Doughboy" Fairly in Love With
the French Capital.
Politeness of the Men and Pleasant
Manners of the Women Impressed
American Soidier-Saw Lit
tie Gloom in City.

know you are crazy to hear what I
thought about Paris. it bein' the first
time l ever seen 1t. Well, Joe, all
can say is that Paris reminds me of
Philadelphia with a bun on The
streets Is all called 'rues" and the
main one is the Rue de la Paix. It's
whole lot like Broadway would be
without the electric lights, theaters,
hotels and cabarets. Avery other
place is restaurant, and the ones
in between is cafes.
The people here are so stuck on
their home town that they won't even
go indoors to eat, but sit right out
on the pavement at little tables for all
their meals, SOS they can keep right
on lookin' at dear Paris all the time,
not to say the danes which parades
up and down.
The girls is pretty near all knock
outs, and none of them is too stuck
up to give a guy pleasant smile and
pass the time of day. / must say that
anybody which gets lonesome here
amt got no one but hisself to blame,
Joe! The men is all in uneyform
and great little guys. 1 think us
doughboys is mixin' with the French
better than anybody else. They go
out of their way to make things nice
for us and don't laff at us when we
try to speak French and call eggs
'woofs" instead of whatever it is.
Joe, a Frenchman is the pOlitest guy
on earth. If you go into place Of
business here and ask a guy how to
get to a certain street and number,
he closes his desk, calls a taxi, stops
ordinaire and delivers you personally,
right outside the door, the while beg
gin your pardon for not gettin' you
there sooner! Can you imagine any
thing like that in New York? You
go up to a guy on Broadway and ask
him how to get somewhere, and what
does he do? He says: 81 never heard
tell of it; I'm stranger here my
self?" Am I right, Joe?
I heard lot of talk about Paris
bein up against it on account of the
war, the people all downhearted, and
food bein' as scarce as heat prostra-
tons in Iceland Joe, that is all the
bunk! They is plenty of food here
for everybody, and / put away some
of the finest steaks 1 ever seen. If
the people is downhearted, then I'm
vice president of Egypt! Joe. they
are the gamest nation on earth, and
we are proud to be in the lineup over
here with 'em. They've had a tough
time for four years, and they know
they been to the war all right, but
that amt gloomed 'em a little bit.
They're as full of pep as steam drill,
and pretty near everything that was
runnin' before the war here is still
d0in' business at the old stand Why,
Joe, one of these French guys could
kid tie kaiser to death, on the level !!

Weeds Always Troublesome.

1t is a fact that, with all the prog
ress along many lines, the agriculture
list has made precious little Roadway
against the vegetable trespassers in
his fields. Various tools have been
invented which excel the primitive
hoes made by the Indian women as
they pottered about their little fields,
but the weeds have increased with
the spreading of the cultivated areas
and are as much of q menace to the
farmers of today as they were to the
Indians of Champlains time. They
are intensely virile, else they would
not be weeds; floods fail to drown
them and droughts cannot prevent
them from producing seed, and while
the grain or the vegetables may fail
to terminate the weeds make no such
mistake. They are the first things out
of ground in the spring and the last
TO ripen their crop in the fall and
they outlast generation after genera,

Doctor in Wooden Shoes.

4 great Dutch daily publishes infor-
nation which throws a peculiar light
on the condition of public life in occu-
pied Belgium.
"At Malines," says the correspondent
of this Netherlands paper, ''the rich
are more and more setting the example
of wearing sabots. since the shortage
of shoes has grown so acute. Mr.. Gil
lis, physician and alderman, can regu-
larry be seen going around in sabots.
He is dressed as was formerly his hab-
it, not forgetting his high hat, but in
stead of wearing the usual shoes he
wears black sabots. He is setting a
good example in overcoming false
pride also. & number of ladies are al
ready following his example"
