HERO IS SUSPECTED OF THEFT
Thought Bore So on his Mind that
George Harris Chose Heroic
Means for Suicide.

London, Aug. THE strain of liv!
ing up to his reputation proved too
much for Master George Harris.
At the Guildhall recently he was
bound over for IL months, after at
tempting to commit suicide.
Since the age of 13 this boy has had
an extraordinary career of adventure.
He was at Antwerp when it was taken
by the Germans, escaped from there
and afterwards accompanied Serg. o.
Leary, the famous Irish V. c., and at
tracted much notice by addressing re-
cruiting meetings at Hyde Park and
other places.
Several people interested themselV-
es in the boy, and he obtained an eX-
cellent position. he lost his situation
because he was suspected of theft.
The though of his friends disap'
pointment weighed so much on his
mind that he tried to kill himself by
drinking a concoction of phosphorus
match-ends mixed with vinegar and
various other evil-tasting ingredients

Oriental Statecraft.

The part which gesture plays in ORR
entail drama is set forth in a recent
Hindu volume, which says that there
is fitting gesture to represent every
emotion. The gesture, in fact, is de-
scribed as deaf-and-dumb alphabet of
the soul. There are nine movements
of the head, corresponding to nine emo
tions, mentioned by one authority, "a
by another; % movements of the sin
gle hands, and "a or 90 of the double
hands, etc. also 'hands" denoting an
finals, trees, oceans, and other things.
For example, certain position of the
hands denotes certain emperor,
caste, or planet. The translator says
rather naively that only cultivated
audience can appreciate Indian sac
tors art"

Let Children Read Aloud

Reading aloud In the home is of the
utmost value. Let the children listen,
and let them do some of the reading,
even OF interesting grownup books. It
gives them not only larger scope of
Ideas, but self-confidence In the use
OF rapidly growing vocabulary. The
right use Of the mother-tongue is a
very valuable accomplishment. But
II takes time and pains to acquire Il.
Ana It begins at the very beginning

Subtle Youthful Reasoning.

Jimmy had been coaxing his mother
all day for some Of the new jam that
she had made, and In order to dlscour.
age him she tried to tell him that 1t did
not turn out well and that she would
nave to give 1t to the little dog, Too
dies, next door. A few hours later she
found him in a corner in the pantry,
all smeared up with the jam and the
jar half empty. In answer to his
mothers questions as to what he was
doing he said: "TOodles don't like
Jam, and you mustn't frow anything
away, SO i thought / would eat It."

TO DESIGN OWN SUITS.
Women Will Select StIye and Cut of
Their Uniform.

London, Aug. MAN always did set
a bad example!
The clumsiness of the mems stand
ard suits has proven to the fair sex
that mere man must not attempt to
have a voice in choosing a suitable,
standard uniform for women.
Women are unanimous in declaring
they must select the style and cut
themselves.
A consensus of feminine opinion in
clines to have quality and price of ma
terials for standard dresses fixed, and
also prices for making. There is a
strong demand that steps should be
taken to place these standardized ar
ticles on the market in readiness for
the cold winter weather.
But says leading w. A. A. c. Of
ficer, don't let men make any mis-
take. Girls. are wearing uniforms for
the wars sake, but none of them
really like it. My girls are always tell
ing me how they long to break forth
into bright calors, and when the wars
over there'll be no holding them back
in this direction. They have the good
sense to wear plain things, and they
are sensible enough to work for the
nation, therefore they are sensible
enough to work for the nation, there
fore they are sensible enough to
choose the cut of their suits. And
woe betide the man who tried to LAY
down the law" on this point!

Fresh-Air Tonic.

The person who Is not overstrong,
who complains about not having any
appetite, would have an altogether diff
ferent story to tell If he or she kept
out of doors as much as possible.
Fresh air and sparkling sunshine are
doing more and have done more to
keep humanity feeling fit than all the
tonics and elixirs in the world. Only
a very foolish woman will dread cold
weather, or disdain the joys 1t offers.
On the other hand, If she would keep
up" and, incidentally, keep stronger
and younger looking, she will go out
every clear day, regardless of the tenn
perature.

Only He Didn't Show L.

Edward got into a fight with STAN
ley one afternoon at school recess. The
teacher had them up before her and
talked so feelingly Of the wrong of
fighting that Stanley cried good and
hard, and the teacher said: STANLEY
seems so repentant I won't keep him
after school. But here is Edward; I
don't know what to do with him, he
seems SO hardened" Edward said :
