BE CALM AND BE STRONG.

These are parlous times. HUI
mainly is on edge. Emotions are
set to the hair trigger. Brain
cells are heated to the point Of
explosion. A word may cause a
catastrophy. Go slow. Speak
gently, or at least with fore
thought. And if you be the SUBJ
ject of hot words do not accept
them. If untrue they cannot
harm you; if true, you are the one
to reform.
1t is told of Buddha that once,
being in a cave for meditation,
there came one who disagreed
wife his teachings and abused him
roundly.
If a man come to you bring
ing a present and you refuse
to accept it, to whom does
it belong?" asked the Brahm-
an teacher.
1T would still be mine,''
replied the visitor.
Very WE'LL" said Buddha,
Il refuse to accept what you
have offered me. :"
The logic is plain. If there were
harm in the wor Is of abuse it did
not remain with the patient man,
but returned to plague the impa-
tent and abusive one.
So the Greek philosopher, when
a knavish fellow snapped fingers
under his nose and cried: II in
suit you," replied: very we'll.
but am not insulted. Neither
was he. He had won by simply
speaking truth; and that is the
greatest thing a human being can
do.
No one can really hurt us but
ourselves. Feelings may be
wounded, pride may be humbled
by unmerited abuse, but real in
jury from such proceedings there
is none.
If a man tells another he is a
thief, liar, a scab, and he is
none of these and remain silent,
the opprobrious epithet remains
with it's opprobrium to him who
uttered it.
America is today facing a ire
mendously active, efficient and
INSCRIPTIONS foe. Not the SOL
diers in the German trenches, but
the spirit of demonism that has
swept German imperialism en-
tirely off its feet and made it sub.
ject to Satanic passion. Neither
is America alone in peril. Every
country on earth, either republic
OF kingdom or monarchy, is equal
ly menaced by this spirit of abso-
lutism. It is not men that are to
be conquered; it is this hell-born
lust for world power - this
Mephistophelean hunger to en-.
slave mankind. And all men who
would escape starving must stand
together against the demoniae
Dragon that symbolizes master.
Democracy or autocracy, which
shall it be? Lincoln said: This
nation cannot exist half free and
half slave" Say it now of the
world. It is no less true.
Forget special differences. Hot
words of debate on minor matters
(minor in the face of the one tre-
mendous event, no matter how
important before) should be with
held. The war will be won by
consolidation, by concord, good
against evil, not men against men.
Speak gently and carry a big
STICK" said Roosevelt, Fine!
But let the stick be for Satan ma
terialized in the Hohenzollern dy-
nasty and not for a brother man.
All men are DESTROYS to be free.

AROUSED TO FRENZY OF JOY
People Of Madrid Outdid American
Baseball Fans When Bull Fight With
Popular Matador Is Announced.

Madrid is the greatest bull fighting
city in the world. From her staid pro-
fessional and intellectual classes down
to the smallest and grimiest urchln
vending newspapers on the streets,
every Madrilleno is a connoisseur Of
bulls and bull fighters. Anyone who
thinks that baseball can turn its devo-
tees into temporary lunatics on the
day Of a worlds championship game
should see the people of Madrid when
a famous matador is billed to meet
some Of the ferocious Miura bulls.
Each of the well-known swordsmen
has his group of followers, enthusiasts
as they are called, any n Of
whom will stake his fortune or his
neck on the prowess of his own par
ticular master as compared to all other
slayers of bulls. On the day of a "cor-
rida" these enthusiasts flock about the
hotel, where their idols are staying, to
greet them hours before the combat
with cheers and adulation. Early in
the afternoon the streets leading to
the plaza are choked with surging cur
rents Of humanity, all moving to a
single goal.
The plaza itself Is a great amphithe-
alter with a sanded arena for stage.
The arena is surrounded by a thick
brick wall, broken here and there by
tiny doors-one door to the pens,
whence the bulls are loosed, another
for the %picadors, who ride in on de-
crepit old horses, a third for the he
roes Of the day, the swordsmen, who
take the money and the glory Of the
occasion without running any greater
risk than their humble subordinates.
On a sunny day the arena is q riot
Of color. Picadors are dressed in yell
low, the 'cape men," who turn the bull
wav gayly colored silk robes, the lit
tie darts which the banderilleros plant
in the neck Of the bull are tipped with
flags, even the mules who haul out
the debris carry huge Spanish banners
in their headstalls. The matadOr is

Possible to Be Too Ahrunt

It Is said that w. S. Gilbert, the
English dramatist, when he called on
his friends. always made a quick exit.
His alert temperament was evidently
opposed to dawdtng. He knew how
tedious lingering farewells could be.
Now and then one meets some n
of his kind, alert, definite, considerable
OF others and of himself as we'll.
But. Of course, in this regard 1t Is
possible to overdo. There are those
who leave so quickly that they create
a of abruptness and possibly Of
concern as well. Their departure may
be followed by such remarks as "Why
did he leave in that way?" or Gould

1t was remarked by resident from
the northern border county line, who
has been here since, 1887, while
detained in Langdon by Saturday
evenings doWnpour of rain, that the
run of weather we have experienced
since the opening of spring remined-
ed him of the season of 1895, which
of course was n of the big crop
years.
Wesley Mowbray of Wales, who
left here early last fall with Com
pany E. and after arriving in France
was transferred from the 1l6th
Trench Mortar Battery to a truck
motor company, in a recent letter
writes of having met over there
William Kartshan, a former Wales
young man. Mowbray is driving q
five ton Packard truck car.
John A. Fromke, principal of the
Wales school for the past year had to
lay aside his duties as a pedagogue
before the close of the term to take
up service under the draft as one Of
Uncle Sans soldiers in the nati.na

Cards and letters received from
different ones of the thirteen drafted
men who left here on the 18th inst.
indicate that their stay at Camp Lo

NOTES
T FOR KNITTERS

The packing committee reports a
waste of yarn still going on through
out the chapter. Many socks could
be made from the yarn wasted in
those knitted too long or too wide in
the leg.
Time is wasted in badly shaped
socks that are too narrow or too
wide in the feet and must be re-knit-
ted. Many toes must be ripped and
made over before they can be shipped
and while the packers wait.
Careful measurements should be
taken and all should strive to knit the
toe and heel asked for by our govern
ment. A hard pointed toe or a toe
with a ridge acros renders the socks
useless to a soldier.
There will be a knitting rally at
the home of Mrs. John Power Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. All interested
in knitting for the soldier boys are
invited. Come and learn to knit Of
come and teach others. No one neeC
remain more than to accomplish this.

BRAZILIAN MAN
 KILLER IS SLAIN

SAN PAULO: Agnelo Pedro Pinto, one of the last and most desperate of the bandits who have been terrorizing the people of the adjoining state of parana for many months has at last been killed by the police, after chase that was as exciting as most of Pinto's Hardly week passed that travellers did not bring stories of en- countering him. He always worked alone, but his absolute disregard of danger made him terror to everyone who went into that part of the state.
 Recently his robberies had become so frequent and the killing of his vic- tins SO numerous that the Brazilians called him "Agnelo the Man Killer" !" and the police were ordered by the state government to take him dead or alive. A searching party of five start ed in search of him.
 After 8 march of 2l miles, the searching party overlook the bandit in a lonely section known as Canivete which had been the scene of many of his most desperate achievements. Agnelo was hiding in the house of a friend and the police undertook to wait until he should leave his refuge. but their presence was soon reported to the desperado, who mounted his horse and set out at gallop to meet the police.
 When told to dismount and consid- CT himeslf prisoner, AgnelO dashed forward, shooting at the men who had attempted to arrest him. Dismount- ing and using his horse as shield. he continued shooting until the police began to close in on him, then he re- mounted and galloped away. still shooting at the officers who dared to pursue him and he was still shooting with a revolver, when a rife bullet killed him and he fell from his gallop- ing horse.-Ex.

LAWYER IS AFTER
 BIG WEASEIIS NOW

Judge Addison F. Stowe. formerly an Anchorage lawyer. who is employ ed by the Alaskan Engineering com mission stationed at Indian river, in charge of the government stores at that place has again leaped into fame as a weasel trapper.
 The judge. during his hours of rest runs 8 trap line. His experience has mostly dealt with lynx. bear and moose. Last week, however. when making the rounds of traps he dis covered weasel of unusual propor- tions. The judge not being familiar with such fur-bearing animals paid little or no attention to his catch un- til he returned to his headquarters. where some old-time trappers were amazed at the size of the weasel.
 The judge will now confine his at tention to weasels. as he says that there are a number of them in the i'm mediate vicinity of the government cache, and they are more readily caught than lynx or bears.-Ex.

FRENCH PAY TRIBUTE TO
THE AMERICAN DEAD
Beautiful Flowers Placed On
The Earth Above Their
Sacred Dust

Paris, November 7.-[By Mail. i
On the wooded slope of a hill that
rises in a bend of the Seine just on
the edge of Paris there is little Gem
etery that is doing much to weld an
other link in the chain of friendship
binding France and America.
Among the 7G0 graves of soldiers in
this cemetery are many graves OF
American boys who has succumbed
to their wounds in the hospitals in
the suburbs of the city.
Almost every one of the American
graves has been adopted by some
French family, which takes care of the
grave as though one of their own
dead lay there Many families have
adopted from three to five of the little
mounds, and one prominent French
professional man of Paris has
adopted" fifteen and insists upon
tending them with his own hands.
The duties of the foster parents" in
cludes besides the care of the grave,
an effort to get in touch with the rela-
tives of the dead hero in America to
tell them about the resting place of
their fallen soldier.
Graves Are Well Attended
Every one of the adopted graves is
tended scrupulously. Fresh flowers
are placed frequently and the Ameri-
can flag at the head of the grave is
renewed when it is faded. On Sun
DAYS it is lot unusual to see dozen
,oI, in, doom mourning
sometimes accompanied by a troop of
sober faced children, reverently car
ing for the grave of an American who
has fallen on the soil of France.
When a military funeral draws up
to the gate of the cemetery and
tenderly deposits another flag draped
coffin, the children gravely salute
and follow the little procession to the
new grave, and stand quietly while
the chaplain reads the simple cere-
n1ony and the bugler sounds the final
requiem.

Lieutenant Carried Out His Promise
to Old Contingent

Paris, November 7-[By Mail. j
Lieutenant Herbert Hudnut lately of
Primo eton and New York dropped in
on his old outfit the other day. He
came over to France in May attached
to an artillery unit After few months
he was transferred into an observa-
ton balloon organization. He shook
hands all around and expressed the
hope that he might drop in on them
sometime somewhere in France. Dur
ing the strenuous weeks that fol-
lowed he lost track of his old gang
In the fighting in the Argonne he was
observing the German lines from his
sausage balloon when a boche avia-
for sailed along and opened up
with his fachine gun. Hudnut took
to his parachute just in time The
balloon collapsed in burst of flame.
In a couple of minutes Hudnut
alighted gently in the top of tree
and started to climb down. From the
lowest croton he paused to survey the
crowd of soldiers around the foot of
the tree. '"WhateneIl you doing up
our tree shouted one of the officers.
1t was Hudnuts old outfit posted un.
der the tree.
