II one were born a humble bee, his
idea Of life success would be 40 acres

yer no bee nor mortal ever knew; but
the bee. If human wise. would want all
that and more.
Invade his flowery honey farm at
the height Of the season, and he puts
out no restraining hand. There Is no
paddock on his gate. The whole field
is a-hum with polyglot plunderers COM
Ing from everywhere to carry away
the very goods that are gold to the
humble bee. But he puts up no de-
fense. He makes no vicious counter
offensive. as the yellow-jacket might.
If you search for him here you find
him diligently prospecting with his
honey pump humming a barytOne solo
as he works. loads of pollen strapped
to his running board his tOnneau bulg-
ing with Joy fodder. He is having the
time Of his life.
When the 40 acres Of red clover Is
a wilderness of dry stubble under
scorching July sun. and his millions
In clover are swept away by the hand

not be found hanging by spiderweb

from his pants pockets. Moreover, ne
has fair swig left In his honey jug,
and he Is still humming his song OF

/ As the season goes down the steep
slope toward chilly weather, the bum
BILE bee does not dig his reluctant heels
into the sod, lag sullenly back and turn
a regretful eye~over his shoulder, with
his heart In the lost red clover. he
takes the small sweets Of poverty as
he did the rich sea of June honey.
From a June millionaire's estate he
has fallen to the fortune of an au-

belated weed and begging nights
lodging in the last bloom of wayside
hollyhock. But he still retains his
well-brushed suit. his good deep barry

PROVED ABILITY TO REASON
Hard to Explain Monkeys Action IN
Putting Out Fire Unless That Ad-
mission Is Made.

A Louisiana planter who owns a pet
monkey which answers to the name OF
Jocko, tells an anecdote about him
which proves that such animals can
and do reason.
The children Of the house and Jocko
are boon companions, and of a sum-
mer afternoon, enjoy frolic together
upon the lawn. One day someone
threw a match down and the grass
ignited, making little blaze.
Jocko saw it and stopped and
looked, then glanced all aroSnd, and,
seeing a piece Of plank not far off, ran
for 1t, crept cautiously to the fire, all
the time holding the plank as shield
between himself and the flame. then
pressed 1t down and extinguished 1t.
What child could have reasoned better
and done more?
Although, perhaps, no danger could
have come from the fire, still no one
knows what the result might have
been, and the monkey evidently be-
lieved that prudence Is the better part
of valor.

He'd Forgotten.

The school dramatic society was CIV
ing It's first performance Of the sea-
son and the play they had chosen for
the momentous occasion was Julius
Caesar"
All went smoothly till Caesars dead
body was brought in, and Marc Antony
had to deliver his famous speech.
He put his heart into the part and
the audience felt acutely for the poor
citizens who were all presumably hor-
ror-stricken and overcome with grief,
when Antony gently but firmly
grasped, as he thought, the face-cloth
and slowly, very slowly, began to draw.
It back.
, Just then an excited whisper came
from the other end Of the corpse:
~This end, you idiot !"
But Antony was too much wrapped
In grief to hear. He presevered and
then suddenly disclosed to the intently
gazing audience Caesars boots!

GOLFERS KNOWLEDGE HELPS
British Airman Wins I'm Raid Because
He Knew the Field.

Correspondence of the Associated Press }
LONDON, May lila golfers
knowledge of the Belgian golf course
at Lombartzyde proved of high mill
tary value in a recent British air raid
on the Belgian coast batteries. A nav
al airman who had played over the
LOmbartzyde golf course hundreds of
times in the days of peace volunteered
to put out of action several guns which
the Germans had located among the
rolling dunes of the famous links.
He went about his task with a sue
cessful contempt born of familiarity.
He knew every hill and dip. every like
ly spot for a gun emplacement, and
found about a dozen targets during his
new game of laying them dead on the
green"
His only regret as he flew home
ward after completing his work was
that he had been compelled to ruin
the particular putting green that he
liked best on the links.

SOLDIERS ADOPT FRENCH BOY

American Regiment Raises 2,OO0
Francs for Education of 'Pat.r
| Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 15.-Though the Amer
ican troops have repeatedly made
themselves extremely popular by their
open-handed generosity to the natives
among whom they happen to be quar-
tered, it has remained for an artillery
regiment to distinguish itself especial
ly in this respect
The unit was quartered for some
time in little French town behind
the front, and on the first evening
found, almost dying from hunger, an
S-year-old boy whose mother had been
killed at Verdun. The boy had wand
cred aimlessly about until he reached
this town.
He was unanimously adopted by
the regiment, fed to safety had made
the mascot an idol of the men. The.
time came however, very recently,
when the artillerymen had to leave for
front service. To take the boy with
them was out of the question. He
had been given the nickname of Pat"
and they had grown so attached to
him that they felt something must be
done to assure his future.
So the men raised 1000 francs with |
which Pat" is to be cared for in a |
home and given at least a rudimentary
education. They hsve gone on to the
front and possibly never will see the
little town again; but the town and
Pat will not soon forget them.

AvIATORS GET TARGET PRACTICE
Cadets Fire on Reproductions of Ger

Rv AsSoeiatad praSs
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
LAKE CHARLES, La, June 20
Aviators from training camps through
out the country are completing their
education in aerial gunnery at the
new finishing school near here. From
sunrise to sunset the planes are dart
ing here and there, sometimes near
the earth and again at high attitudes,
and the rattle of machine guns is al
most continuous.
The targets at the first school of
its kind to be established in the Unit
ed States are reproductions of the Ger
mon 'taube" airplane placed on the
surface of the lake and with a black
cross painted thereon to represent the
enemy pilot, the principal mark for the
gunners. The students easily discern
the striking of bullets on the water and
are able to correct their fire almost
instantly if the shots go wide. The re-
suits, instructors declare, are more
than gratifying, but just what records
the young flyers have made is infor-
nation withheld from the public.
The training in gunnery is as COM
plete as it is humanity possible to make
it. Before being sent to the camp the
students are required to undergo a
course of ground schooling at Gerst-
ner Field, near here. From Gerstner
Field they go to the lake and in class
es of thirty are put to work on the
'taube" and small aerial target re-
leased at an altitude of about 5000
feet. The students are graded ac-
cording to their proficiency in firing
and when they make the percentage
Of hits required are discharged from
the school.
Both the small machines, carrying
only pilot, and the larger plane, with
a pilot and observer, are in use at the
school.

TRUST WILSON

Now comes the announcement that
Japan is preparing to state her inten-
tions as to the expeditions into Russia.
Had Japan gone into Siberia without
making any formal pledge or guaran-
tee of her intentions, the chances are
greatly against Japan's ever evacuat-
ing the territory. The British press ia
vored the expeditions. France favored
it, Italy favored it. Only Woodrow Will
son, the international thinker, held
out against the move until definite
statement was made. The rights of
nations must be inviolate in the East
as well as in the West
AS usual, there was frenzied dis
cussion in the press of America of
the proposed move, in spite of the fact
that no treaty gave us power to object
to the move. The papers in the east
ern part of the United States in gen.
eral favored the move, while the west
ern papers opposed it. Sectional
thinking, instead of international
thinking, promoted most of the dis
cussions.
Only the President was unmoved
by the clamor. He waited, in calm
ness, to ask for clear definition of
the reasons of Japan's move 1t is
to be imagined that shortly before the
Japanese troops were landed at
Vladivostok to protect the stores at
that place, he received an unofficial
promise of the good intentions of
Japan. Now comes the formal declara-
tion.
The President realized, as must |
every student of the situation. that at |
no time in history has it ever been
more imperative that straightforward |
declaration of aims and intentions be
made. Not only as a friend of the
new Russia, but also as a friend of
japan did he ask this open exposition
OF reasons. Japan has no better friend
among the nations of the world than
