coverer OF the secret OF gravity was

thought that the dlscoyerer Of the

art of angling more than a waste OF

Walton being born in England nearly

Father Shot and Girl al

IA happy Belgian maiden,

dubbed to death with hte butt

from General Won Gluck; her fa-
-ther shet down and herself torn
from the arms of her aged grand
mother by a German officer, Cap

his evil purpose, this experience
of Ruth Clifford provides but a
slight idea of the atrocities of the
German barbarians in their ad-

faithfully and automatically

unknown .insights into the pri-

as played by Julian Rupert, in

Another "scrap Of Paper"

Twenty-seven years ago settlers at
Olympia, WASH, made treaty with
the Indians allowing them to fish any
where and at any time, says Commerce
and Finance. Now the state game
laws prohibit them from the sport dur
ing the closed season.
Saluskin, big chief Of the Yakimas,
with a number Of other Indians, after
protesting in vain to the local game
wardens, went to the city to protest
against the violation of their rights.
Imagine a chieftain, 80 years old,
straight as an arrow, vet half blind
and enfeebled, entering a court room
in a modern city. This man had seen
the victory of civilization in its strug-
gle against the wilderness. He had
seen his race pass control Of the land
to the white race. Still believing in
the honor of the white man, he came
to protest against the infringement Of
q treaty made quarter Of a century
before.
Saluskin was informed by an inter-
prefer that the district attorney could
not change the state game laws.
"Hoh ~ was his only comment.

LITTLE ONES WOULD INVENT

IT No Toys Could Be Bought

"No toys!" exclaims the fond and

mere mention of the toy business be.
ing one of those in danger of being
abolished as unnecessary during war
tinae.7 Oh, yes, little mother, there
would be toys-but they would not be
store toys. In fact, the children would
invent and make a great many of
them themselves. Dame Nature would
lend hand, and you could help bit,
too! There is o"doubt that children
must have toys of some sort-it is
the very cry of their little souls. "Ne-
cessity is the mother of invention" so
with dire necessity staring them in
the face-a pressing demand with no
supply-they would begin to invent.
Moreover, being the work of their own
little brains and hands, such toys
would more easily please. Simple
minded and contented types of chill
dren would once again be the rule, not
the exception. What has the nursery
piled high with the latest and most
expensive toys produced? Nothing
but that contradiction of nature-the
child with nothing left to wish for!
What is there to stimulate his brains
or his Imagination? Everything has
been thought out and imagined for
him. No wonder at the age of seven
or eight he finds life stupid" But
with nothing to play with would come
the wonderful idea Of making some
thing.-Chicago News.

MYSTERY H0VERs OVER LAKE
Body Of Water In Central Africa Has
Most Curious Effect on Minds
Of Travellers.

Cold and gray are the waters which
Lake Tchad spreads over the lowlands
of central Africa. The traveller in
Africa finds the mystery Of the dark
continent more haunting and unfath-
omable here than In the battling mazes
of the jungle or In the silent smile Of
the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the
shallow waters about and whisper their
secrets through the reeds. But the
lake makes no answering condolences.
1t stretches on and on, measuring its
miles of surface in sweeping wave
lengths.
AS far as the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rushes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses.
Here and there the line Of the gray ex-
panse is broken by slender islands
bearing up a few round-topped native
huts, outlined dimly against the sky
line. The effect is that of painting
seen through gray glasses, reducing
the whole to a low key. 1t is in the
grayness that the lakes effect of mys.
terry lies, the grayness that hovers
dull and cheerless over waving reeds.
The traveller gazing across Lake
Tchad for the first time feels the thrill
of discovery. The knowledge that he
is not the first to stand upon the banks
does not dispel the feeling Of entering
the most shut-off place in central
Africa.

Woman Frozen to Ground.

During cold snap last winter
Mrs. John Baker Of townsville took
a bucket Of hot water and went into
the yard to clean the concrete pave
ment. She splashed the water around
and used the broom vigorously, when
suddenly she realized she could not
move. She made determined efforts to
move her feet, and experienced fear
full cold chill as thoughts of paralysis
flashed into her mind. She screamed
loudly for help, and her husband, who
came running, found her shoes were
frozen to the pavement.
With vigorous jerk he yanked her
loose, almost pulling her out of her
shoes. 1t was thankful wife he led
into the house to warm her feet.

Can't Even Have "Near-Heer."

Germany's brewers hoped this year
to produce a beer substitute that
should really resemble beer, but the
Prussian minister Of finance has. is
sued decree that puts an end to the
dream of the foaming stein.
A new process has been patented
by which near-beer was to be made
from beetroot, hops, yeast and wa
ter. Many breweries had already in
stalled machinery required under the
patent.
The minister of finance has decided
that the sugar of the beetroot, upon
which the substitute depends for alco-
hol, cannot be spared for beer. Beets,
he says, are badly needed for manufac-
ture of sugar, dilution of jam and max
ing of coffee substitutes.

Somewhere in France.
April "a, 1918.
Rev. w. Frazier Smith,
Nogales, Arizona.
My dear Brother:
After an uneVentful Jrlp
across the Atlantic, | am
safe and very pleasantly loc-
ated in France. This is a
most wonderful country and
people; a more beautiful
country by far than | sup
posed, and that to in the face
of the, conflict that is raging.
| was some sea sick for
two days, but after that |
felt. fine and truly enjoyed
the voyage. but | will take
off.my hat to.old man Chris
topher Columbus for brav-
ing the briny deep in his lit
tie. old brigatine, for it
was enough for me, though |
came across on the third
largest vessel afloat, and Of
course had comforts that
many others did not have.
Lam now billeted in a little
townxof about two thousand
population, and have my in
firmary in a very fine home.
The people are all away;
the men are at the front, the
women have gone further
back from the line. There
are only five men left here
and they are very aged. All
the work is done by the
women. They tend the soil
and do all the work. | am
Sc glad that our own dear
women are not subject to the
terrible horrors that fill
these noble French women
with fear. / must say in
passing that our Sammles
are true knights, every one
of them, for they are as chi
valrous as can be, and as
polite and kind to these
women as it is possible for
men of high ideals to be.
The men are living clean
moral lives, and they have
been safe guard by our
men in authority. It is most
touching indeed to see these
French women try to ex-
press their gratitude and
appreciation. They say
they want to come to Amer
lea where the men are so
considerate of the women.
They say we idolize them,
and | believe we do. [ am
sure if a man should so far
forget himself as to insult
one of these women, the
men would deal with him
before a court martial could
be assembled.
The Sammie is absolute
master Of all he surveys over
here, and it makes one very
proud that he is an Amer
lean. These people worship
Wilson and the Americans,
and the school kiddies are
taught to love him as we
were Washington.
It is too funny to see our
boys try to talk to these
; French people. Today !!
was going down a street and
saw some of our men at a
house. l stopped to see
what was going on. One OF
the men was down on the
foor squalling and cackling
like a hen. He was trying to
buy some eggs, and took
that method to make them
understand. This is only
one of many amusing in
cidents that happen every
day. -:
