FORTY LANGUAGES IN CAMP
Necessity Of One Tongue Has Renewed Efforts to Establish Schools
 for immigrants.

Recently an accurate census was taken concerning the different Ian guages spoken by soldiers training in Camp Devens, Mass, which showed that 40 languages were spoken by the men in that camp. There were 2,269 men whose habitual speech is Bremen 1,354 who speak Italian, and so on down to the relatively few who speak Japanese, Serbian, Egyptian Persians Assyrian, Flemish and Arabic. Of spe- cial interest were the G25 m@l who. speak German.
 This is just one solution to a puzzle like that. There must be one language which all understand and of necessity that language is English. The facts disclosed by this investigation have re newed the efforts made to establish system of schools to teach every imai- grant the English language.
 In the cooperative efforts in which the whole nation is engaged, such as war and many other things, one Ian guage is a necessity. Very little attes- ton has been paid to that in the paS. but the importance of it is being reccc- niZed among all classes of thinkers st the present time.-Omaha Werld-He aid.

The French Tricolor.

The Trieelor. the French national standard of blue, white and red, di- vided vertically, originated during the first French revolution. In 17S9 the leaf plucked by Camille Desmouins in the garden of the Palais Royal be- came rallying sign, and green was to be adopted as the national color but. remembering that green was the color of the hated Prince d'Artois, they rejected it on the following day. They at first chose, instead blue and red, tae colors of the city of Paris, and later added the white of royalty, that had been faithfully preserved by the national guard. This new standard was adopted with enthusiasm A few months after taking of the E; stile. Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis XVI the three-colored eoeard as a badge of reconciliation with the king.
 Thus the Tricolor originated as the symbol of the liberty of the French nation, and it continued as such even when afterward the reconciliation" with the king ended with his deeapita- ton.

 "We'H manage somehow" O'Reilly declared. Tt isn't far across to the Bahama Banks. I'll agree to come back if you so desire"
 Gomez shook his white head "No! You came to find and save your fiancee, and you volunteered to serve with us while you were doing so. We have no desire to keep any man against his will. Some one must escort Miss Evans, who in our guest. Why not you two?
 "I was looking forward to an inter- esting ceremony this afternoon Go meg went on. Has your arrival changed the plans?"
 'Oh no, sir!'' O'Reilly said, quickly. ''Pd like to make it doubly interesting, if Miss Varona will consent to such short notice"
 Bravo! You have a way of doing the unexpected. Why not? I don't think Miss Yarona will have it in her heart to refuse you anything"
 The old soldier was right. Rosa did not gainsay her lover and toward sun down the city among the leaves wit messed an unaccustomed scene.
 Rosa, very dainty in her borrowed nurses uniform. was round=eyed. timid; she evoked much admiration, but when she was addressed as Sonora O'Reilly she blushed to the roots of her hair and shrank close to her hus- bands side. Branch proved to be q happy choice as Esteban's proxy. for he relieved Norine's anxiety and smoth- cred her apprehensions.
 When Rosa and O'ReillY returned to Esteban's cabin they found Norine ahead of them. She was kneeling be- side the sick mans hammock. and through the doorway came tiie low, in- timate murmur of their voices. Rosa drew her husband away. whispering, happily:
 He will get well. God and that won derful girl won't let him die"

keen.EYed BelIhoy.

keen-eyed bellhoy at the Lincoln hotel and a mans hat prevented a se- rious loss to Mrs. b. Scott, 315 East Twenty-fifth street. one evening re- gently relates the Indianapolis News.
 Mrs. Scott was resting on the meg zanine floor with some friends after dinner. enjoying the niusIc and trying to keep cool and comfortable. She was comfortable enough but not so cool. In wiping the precipitation from her hands she pulled off diamond soli taire, which fell down in the lobby. Mrs. Scott and her party got down stairs hurriedly and soon guests, mu- sicians. bellboys and all joined in the search for the missing ring.
 The search revealed nothing until one of the bellboys became inquisitiye about mans hat that was leaning up against a column. There the ring was, inside the hat, and Mrs scott went away rejoicing.

NEW YORK'S POLYGL0T PRESS
in Foreign Languages Are Printed in City.

No fewer than 150 newspapers In foreign tongues are printed in New York. Japanese, Lettish, Persian and Slovak = and many other foreign peoples may in that city of diverse nationalities read newspaper in their own tongue.
 Socialistic and anti-Soeiaiistic. anar- chistie, Zionistic or anti-Zionistic are these foreign papers. They often are organs of workingmen's organizations, but most of all are the organs of city politics.
 When q Russian paper publishes an article entitled: 'Is Patriotism Incur able?" and an anarchistic sheet in quires, What would happen if the president died?" is it any wonder that church and government become uneasy and agree that this babel of tongues can bear watching?
 On the other hand, the influence of many of these foreign papers Is along the line of Americanizati0n "One who has once drunk out of America's foun- tain" declares one with enthusiasm twill always remain free slave of the country"
 The Greek who wants to 'ohey that impulse" may read Kapanos; the Pole. Molyl: there is also Yiddish big stick-aiming to rival Life in humor. There is a Spanish movie magazine. q baking magazine in Yiddish, a Greek emporium devoted to confectionery and of course a French fashion paper. The Japanese Nippon Jin parallels the Literary Digest. Surely here is mate rial to satisfy the most varied taste.

Norine agreed: 'Tm sure of it. And then-we'll all go back to our rain bows end and dig for that pot of gold"

 Esteban lowered himself into his chair and Norine rested herself upon it's arm. He lay back with eyes closed. From the regions at the rear came the voice of Jacket. The boy was in q declamatory mood. He had gathered an audience. as was his daily custom, and was addressing them in English:

This SWindler Up to Date.

Thought reading was the method claimed to have been employed by a man in Bengal, India, to win large sums of money on the race course. It turned out to be very ingenious form of swindle. Finding a man who is in- terested in racing. the confidence man produces a roll of money, and states that he won this by his fore-knowl- edge of the winners on the track. He then suggests that his friend test his knowledge. He induces his victim to hand him sums of money to be placed on the horses, and then vanishes. h. vestigation has proved that this Ben gali had swindled number of peo- pie of large sums of money in this way.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Rainhow,s End.

The journey to the coast was made by easy stages and Esteban stood it fairly well. Jacket, of course, went along. Upon the announcement of O'Reillys intended departure fer the States he had promptly abandoned Cuba to her fate. He foreswore her utterly and declared himself a loyal American citizen.
 Relying upon the best information obtainable at Cubitas, O'Reilly had counted upon securing a sailboat from a certain fisherman whose sympathies were known to be loyal, but in this he was disappointed. The party arrived at it's destination, a tiny clearing on an unfrequented part of the north shore, only to find it deserted and al- ready grown to weeds. The house was empty. the boats were gone-all but one old hulk, too rotten to warrant moving, which lay high up on the sand, it's blanks Worm-eaten, its seams wide spread by the sun.
 O'Reilly WIS in quandary. He gravely doubted Estebans ability to stand the rough return journey. and when he spoke to Norine of turning back she was panie-stricken at the sug- gestion.
 No, no :" she cried anxiously. "We must get him away. Ills heart is set on going through and 1t would-kill him to go back
 "Then I guess we'll have to go through" he smiled.
 For the first time in their aequaint- ance Norine lost control of herself.
 Promise that you won't go tack," she implored him.
 "Very we'll. if you'll consent to risk this miserable tub we found on the beach,"
 "I'll risk anything-a raft, even Is there an even chance of our getting across?"
 "Perhaps. It all depends upon the weather"
 When morning came O'Reilly made a closer examination of the abandoned boat. The result was not encouraging, but he determined to make use of it, and the crazy craft was launched. It was necessary to handle her gngerly, and when she took the water she leak ed abominably. But during the night she swelled and in the morning 1t was possible to bail her out.
 From the point of leaving it was per haps five miles across the sound to the fringe of keys which in this neighbor- hood bordered the old Bahama chan nel with its HHRlumbed depths of blue water. Here it was calm, so the run was soon made.
 When the coastline of Cuba had be- come blur astern Rosa crept back and seated herself beside her husband How much love you" she whispered But l never can tell you. for We are never alone. Was there ever such n courtship. such a marriage, and such q wedding journey as ours?"
 It proved to be a long, long night. for the boat, though roomy, was uncom- fortable. Daylight brought an in creased breeze which heeled the boat further. Fortunately the haze was not thick enough to wholly obscure the sun and so O'Reilly was enabled to hold his course. But he did not like the look of things. In time there came q spite full drizzle which completely hid the sun and left no indication of the course except the direction whence drove the rain.
 No one spoke now. Even Esteban lay silent, shivering miserably upon his sodden bed. Rosa finally straightened her aching back and smiled at her hus- band.
The Monticellonian., 1918-09-20

1 They're coming-here Yes! It's-it's O'Reillyw
 Young varona struggled from his hammock. "Rosa!" he called. loudly. Rosa !"
 There came q shadow, then in the doorway the figure of man, q tattered scarecrow of q man whose feet were bare and whose brown calves were eX- posed through Tapping rags. His breast was naked where thorns had tried to stay him; his beard, even his hair, were matted and unkempt, and the mud of many trails lay caked upon his garments.
 It was O'Reilly!
 Dumb with amazement, blind with tears, Norine found herself staring up- ward into his face, and heard him say ing:
 q told you I would bring her home"
 The next instant she lay upon his breast and sobs of joy were tearing at her.
 The story of Rosa's rescue came slowly and in fragments, for the news of O'Reillys return caused a sensa- tion. His recital was interrupted many times. "As a matter of fact, our get away was ridiculously easy" he said, ''for we had luck at every turn-regu- lar Irish luck. l made Morin inde- pendent for life, but 1t wasn't the money, 1t was Jacket who induced him to bring us clear to Turiguano. He landed us one night, thIs side of the Moron trocha. Since then we've waded swamps to our armpits, we've fought the jungle and chewed bark-but we're here" Johnnie heayed deep sigh of relief.
 "Where did you get the money to hire sehooners and corrupt captains?" Branch inquired.
 O'Reilly hesltated; he lowered his voice to a whisper. We found the Yarona treasure"
 Norfne uttered cry. Not Don Es- teban's treasurer"
 Exactly. It was in the we'll where young Esteban told us 1t was"
 Johnnie produced from his pocket handful of coins.

fully, then pressed 1t to his lips. He rubbed 1t against his cheeks and in his hair; he placed it between his teeth and bit 1t.
 Its real!' he cried "Now let me look at the jewels
 Rosa has them. She's wearing them on her back. Hunched backs are lucky, you know; hers Is worth Il fortune"
 "Why, this beats the Arabian Nights r" Norine gasped.
 Tt beats" Branch paused. then wagged his head warningly at the girl "I don't believe a word of it and you mustn't"
 Then Johnnie told the story. When he had finished there was long mo- ment of silence. Then Norine qua vered tremulously: ''rhat boy That blessed boy!"
 Its all too weirdly improbable" O'Reilly smiled, but ask Rosa or Jacket-the boy Is bursting to tell some one. He nearly died because he couldn't brag about it to Captain Mo rin. and there won't be any holding liIu llpW. III dlIdiu uG II tlp oll liic news about that treasure in spite of all my warnings.

 "Oh. Johnnfei" Norlne began. Hes very III. He isn't getting well. Help me, Johnnie! Help me to get him home"
 "Of course I will. We'll take him and Rosa away where they can forget Cuba and all the misery 1t has caused them. We'll make him well-don't worry"
 O'Reilly saw little of his sweetheart that day. for Norine promptly bore the girl off to her own quarters and there attended to her needs the most press 1 ing of which was clothing.
 While O'Reilly was similarly en- gagged in making himself presentable he and Branch talked earnestly with the result that they repaired later tc General Gomez. O'Reilly concluded by saying:
 I've done what I came to do. sir, but Miss varona Is badly shaken by all she has been through. She's very nervous

Reward Not Always to the Great.

A London booksellers catalogue an- nounces a copy of Browning's first book for $2,200. Yet, when it was printed. m lS}3. through the assist- ance of the poets aunt, Mrs. Silver thorne. the poet would have been glad to have sold a copy in its little drab boards for few shillings. The reason fl is worth so much money now iS that few of them have survived, and this particular copy Is described as i'm maculate. There may not be money in poetry for the poets. but if the poet only is thoughtful enough to become great his early trifies may bring a flood of gold to some happy possessor.

The cailor's Widow.

How many people realize the enor nous amount of mourning caused every time one of our ships goes down. But few of the heroes of the sea re- turn disabled to live at home in peace. It is sheer luck or widowhood for the sailor's wife. It is some comfort to know that several funds provide gen erously for the widows of the sea, es- pecially for those with babies; and it is touching to learn that the major part of these funds is raised by volun- tary subscriptions among the crews who take great pride in the knowl- edge that their mess cuts a good figure in the subscription lists to sail ors' charities.
