Sheen Has Wooden Leo.

Charles Krauter, living near Bucyrus,
o., had lamb get tangled up in a
fence and inture its leg. The veterin-
ary told him the leg had to come off.
Krauter did not want to lose the lamb,
so minus the leg he nursed it back
to health and then fixed up peg leg
for 1t.
Now the lamb has grown to be q
sheep and still stumps around on the
wooden leg. Occasionally the wooden
member becomes loose and falls off,
and the sheep then hobbies over to

comes along to fasten the leg on
again.

Krauter says, and wool is wool now.

SCHOOL
By BRIGGS

lFrom the North American Review.1
His seat was by a window; so he
dreamed.
How he could study when the sun
light cleaned
In small. sweet shapes like wild
things tame enough
To dart to him and touch his hands
for love?
While there were profiles carved in
every cloud
To mark as grim or ludicrous or
proud,
And agile. shadowings to writhe and
crawl
Like ghostly spiders up and down
the wall,
He could not help but turn their way
to look.
His eyes, that would not follow down
his book
The muddy trudgings of deliberate
words,
Reflected blue and silver flights of
birds.
You would not think that just a
window space.
Could hold so much of loveliness and
grace.
But once, when a frail scrap of pa
per moon
Enchanted him from 10 o'clock till
noon,
He learned his lesson then for very
gloom
Until, came glowing to a nearby
chair,
A little girl with sunset in her hair.
His soul rekindled, and the pale
dreams came
To warm themselves once more at
this new flame.
He pushed aside the dusty Greek, he
had
A different way to read the Had.
While through cold ashes others
groped to learn,
He lit the towers of Troy and saw
them burn.

SOWING TO THE WIND

forces now occupy in France and
Belgium. Their retreat is marked
by desolation and ruin. and they
must be given to understand that
similar conditions will prevail
throughout Germany when the Allies
are through with their big job.
Americans and their Allies every

prove any settlement that will not
directly punish the authors of the
atrocities and the barnarous war

than four years. They must be
whipped until there shall be no fight
left in them.
1t is a common remark among
German prisoners that in the event
of final defeat their government will
surrender and save their own coup-
try from the frightful destruction
which has been visited upon their
neighbors. 1t is on account of this
attitude that many American states

Uncle Ren1uS" Returns

On July 8, 1908, in Atlanta, Ca,
the creator of Uncle Remus." with
a smile on his lips, went "to see
what is on the other side" to use
his own quaint words. No longer
would the old darky uncle spin his
wonderful stories to the breathless
little boy" Brer Rabbit and .Brer
Fox and all the other friendly
beasts were dumb with sorrow and
would never speak again. The last
tale, rejecting the old plantation
life of the South, had been told, and
Joel Chandler Harris no more would
fill the Wren's Nest with laughter
which echoed all over the world.
Now, just ten years later, a loyal
public. who have never forgotten
him, are amazed to hear the old
darky's chuckle once more, for
Uncle Remus has returned! Ten
stories, scattered far and wide in
forgotten corners, have been found,
and are now published between
covers for the first time under the
allurlng title of Uncle Remus Re-
turns" And they are as good as
the best that he has ever told. full
of his SLY fun and homely wisdom.
One tells of Imply Umpty and the
Blacksmith and another is Tally
po." Like all the Uncle Remus vol
umes, they portray tho thoughts and
characteristics of a great race, rap
idly becoming a dream of the rast,
which. but for the labors of Joel
Chandler Harris would have been
lost to the world.

Where the War Must End

There is increasing talk of clear
ing the Huns out of Picardy and
Flanders this fall. and of ending the
war by decisive victory on the west
crn front next year. 1t is indulged
in by men of information and judg-
ment, and in part is not injudicious'
The fine strategy of Foch and the
fighting qualities of all the Allied
armies make it by no means impos-
sible that the first part of the pro-
gram will be realized. The Allies
are out-maneuvering and Outright
ing the Germans at every point. and
if our levies continue to be poured
in at the rate of the last few months,
they will soon considerably outnum-
Der them. In such circumstances 1t
would not be surprising to see the
enemy driven out of Picardy and
Flanders in the next three months.
May it be so!-North American Re-

LoDe as q Housing Problem

Sarah MacConnell, author of
MANY Mansions" just published by
Houghton Mifflin Company. is a
comparatively new writer, this being
her second book. Miss MacConnell
was born in Springfield, Ohio, but
has lived in New York for some
years. She was a designer of book
covers until she became associate
editor of ;Everybody's Magazine, and
since giving up magazine work she
has written numerous short stories
and given occasional lectures on
craft work. OF "Many Mansions"
she says: "The book was written
because love appears to me very
important housing problem, spiritu-
ally. and rather more neglected
than our material housing problems.
Our fiction usually presents it as
something that may be ordered all
ready to put up. like a certain kind
of collapsible bungalow-no archi-
tect needed"

cred it was shown that nothing was
to be gained by cutting out the
Christmas giving. Then the agree
ment indicated was reached to per-
NIT the usual holiday business. with
the understanding that the mercan-
tile forces are not to be enlarged as
has always been the case during the
last rush of the year.
In order to overcome these condi-
tions, the merchants are preparing
out further delay. This will be n
good thing, not only for the mer-
chants, but also for their customers.
There never was any reason for the
holiday congestion. save that the
average Christmas buyer waited un-
til the last horn blew to provide the
usual presents. The arrangement
for this year will probably set a
precedent for holiday operations in
the future.
Inasmuch as the merchants and
shopkeepers cannot enlarge their
forces to accommodate the ordinary
rush at the holiday period, it will
be necessary for them to begin the
season soon in order that there shall
not be any increase of employees
later. OF course, the public must
cooperate, so that there shall be no
inconvenience from the proposed
plan.
