SI1akespeare "OverTated."

Mr.. Justice Darling has admitted
that he knows 50 bit about racing
He certainly knows more about liter
AZURE, however, and therein differs
from one Of his predecessors on the
bench, Baron Martin. Mr.. Adolphus
Liddell. who acted as the baron's mar
shall in 1872, states that he "had q
prodigious acquaintance with racing
history, and knew the winners Of all
the chief events for many years back.
'Tn history, literature and art he
seemed to take no interest whatever,
and if ever ne had any education
In these he had discarded 1t. Many
stories were current illustrative OF this
peculiar condition Of his mind, such
as his remark that Shakespeare is an
enormously oyerrated man London
Chronicle.

HELD ".3 ART ABOVE ALL
.Pen-:cS C::,d TIct Induce Beethoven
u F!2y for Emperor or
Dukes.

, Bcttina Won Arnim visited Beethoven
in the year 1910, and wrote a letter
Describing the event in August of that
year. 1t has recently been published
observes ali exchange. Very different
fro.4 her correspondence with Goethe,
when il IS Il question whether the lady
Is INDUCING in fact or fiction, this
Letter about Beethoven is serious in
tone. -
Beethoven had a ''so-called pride
that prevents him playing for the EN-
peror and the dukes, who have in vain
given him a pension; and it is the
rarest thing in all Vienna to hear him
play" she says. But he consents to
play for her when she tells him it
would be the joy Of her life to hear
him. He seated himself at the piano,
on the edge of a chair, playing softly
with one hand, as though trying to
overcome bis aversion to being heard
Suddenly he had forgotten his sur
rounl;ngs and his thought expanded
into IN ocean OF harmony"
She gc"s on: II got TO like this
man trcma- ious!y. IN everything that
has to - with his art he is so COM
mandiEg ard truthful that no artist
dares to approach him."

HAD NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD
But Officer Realized That Henceforth
Young Austrian/in His Command
Was an American.

The Second Indiana artillery IS re-
sponsible Yor this story: In ore OK It's
companies there is a young Austrian,
who loves America with q greater In"
tensity than he hates the despotism
"back home" He was one Of the first
men from MS home town to enlist in
that regiment.
4 superior officer had come to IN
spect the company. He gave direc-
tons as to the way he was 10 be sa-
iuted, etc. ."Now, We'll try you out
and see if you've got all my direc-
TONS" he ended. "WeIl begin by call.
ing the roll.
LAS your names are called advance
two steps, salute your superior Off
Ger and answer Here"
The clerk took up the list Of names
and began calling. And 10, the Aus
TRANS name, like "Abou Ben ADJ
hen's," led all the rest. For few
minutes the goung fellow stood hesi-
tating, because he had not understood
much Of what the officer had said.
Encouragingly the officer started to
raise his hand. 4 broad smile Of re-
lief spread over the Austrian's face.
a few rapid steps--he was across the
room, seized his superior officers hand
and gave it & hearty American shake.
Amid roars OF laughter the officer
ruefulIy examined his crushed fingers.
Hes an American now, all right" he
said sagely.

Somewhere in France
Cant I 1918

1 have not had chance to see
much of France, but hope to see
more of it in the future. We are
now busy moulding ourselves into
men of steel so that the Boche will
fall like grain before reaper.
Perhaps you have seen the picture
of our French billets in the movies
You may large upon a screen for
years to come, that is for instance,
town or landscape and you would
say to yourself that the scene is
typical to all others and it would
soon vanish from your memory but
coming from the vague to the real
istie, + think no. such scene could
ever vanish. The houses seem to
grow out Of the groud, all made of
crude stone planted into a layer Of
lnorter; the people seem to love
darkness rather than light for the
windows are few and far between.
The house which I occupy, the upper
and lower floors are made Of stone
and perchance if you are sleeping up
stairs you would be compelled to as
cend to your place Of rest on a lad
der similar to the one that lay in our
back yard last winter and lie down
to peaceful. slumbers on a pile CT
straw.
I went up to adwelling house last
night to buy some eggs and they
sold them for eighty cents a dozen
/ gave the lady an American dollar.
Take it from me before got out of
the house every word in the French
language was spoken and thought
with very strong emphasis butnever-
theless I got my change and with a
polite thank you'll made my exit.
All Of the University boys are in
the same branch of the service you
know what I wrote Sullie while in
New York. AS yet we have not
been transferred to truck driving
unit. Well, I pray for d speedy re-
turn to my native land.
With love to all.
