THE EDELWEISS.
A Legend of the Alps.

Edelweiss means noble white" 1t
is a beautiful velvet flower, greenish
white, and of simple appearance. By
reason of it's modesty it is overlooked
except by thrifty boys who climb the
mountains and gather it to sell, and
by travellers who regard it as the type
flower of the Alps. In one legend the
Edelweiss is related to heaveni~so near
to which it grows.
1t is said that a very beautiful maid
she was in body. was saddened and
en-, as beautiful in heart and soul as
heart-broken as she saw all the misery
and hardness in the world, and longed
to be where such things did not exist.
God noted her longinss and listened
to her prayers, and took her to Him
self and made her an angel of Heaven
But even there she was not happy,
and she wearied of her celestial home
and longed to taste once more the bit
terness of earth. She appealed to
God, and He gave her permission to
take her human form and flesh again
But she was unprepared to minsle
again with a humanity that, even to
her sympathetic eye, was so full OF
the tragedy of poverty, of crime, OF
oppression and misfortune, of unhap-
piness and discomfort. So she chose a
home among the highest and the wild

American Trapshooters Break New

This editorial from the Pittsburg

that trapshooting is rightly named the

another truly American idea which
is saving many lives in the front lines

These squads are made up of crack
trapsh0oters. Instead of directing
their efforts on clay pigeons they de-
fleet the hand grenades which the
Germans hurl toward their trenches
The force of full charge of buck

to make it fall many yards short of
the object for which it was intended.

head. like the true altruist he is.
he simply enters someone's home
and proceeds 10 make il his own.
Last night, tired of wandering the
streets. ne stopped at the residence
of ". T. Van Dusen, 235 Front St,
and. finding the front entrance
locked. went carelessly round 70 the
back door, opened it and entered.
Finding the fire in the sitting room
stove low. he replenished it, selected
an easy chair and made himself
comfortable, after removing his
shoes and part OF his clothing.
At . o'clock this morning Mrs.
William Valentine, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Van Dusen, awakened at
the usual time and prepared to rise
20 prepare the morning meal As
she turned toward her bedroom
door, she saw an unknown man
standing in the entrance She
screamed and reused her husband,
who asked the intruder his business.
Treen assured him that he meant
no harm and accepted Valentines
invitation to be seated while the
latter dressed. He went quietly
downstairs with the young man and
made no objections when asked to
accompany him.
However. when informed that he
was on his way to the police station,
he demonstrated mildly. declaring
that he had just been released from
tired of prison fare He made no
effort TO get away and entered the
lookup without causing trouble. He
will be arraigned one a charge Of
trespass. and will undoubtedly be
subjected to an even longer period
of confinement since this is by no
means his first offense.
He was given Il days for the same
misdemeanor when discovered in the
fiat above the WOodka meat market,
three weeks ago. He is peculiarly
unfortunate in his experiences with
the police department, as he has been
several times araigned. Except that
he drinks. he appears to be entirely
harmless and has done no particular
harm. Mrs. Van Dusen, who heard
him Thursday night, supposed him
TO be her son-in-law and did not
raise the alarm.
