British Pilot Gets Lost Behind
German Lines.

quarters-Action Is Taken at Once
and Tide Of Battle. Is Turned in
Frances Favor--Maehine Is Wreck
ed Where He Lands In Shell Hole.

A British pilot, flying in France
from one airdrome to another, was
the last machine Of flight of five
which struck across country and soon
afterward ran into clouds. He lost
sight Of the other machines.
He looked around and saw several
black specks. Thinking they were
his companions he turned round and
few toward them. When he drew
near they Owed, firing their machine
guns. He fled.
His compass showed that he was
flying east-away from his own lines.
He flew on for 20 minutes, holly pur-
sued, and at last outdistanced the
Germans. Not knowing he was well
over German occupied territory, he
turned once more and few due west
for half an hour.
Far Behind Lines.
He then throttled down and drifted
slowly down through the sunlit cloud
barrier. He saw group Of hangers
some 10 or Is miles away and began
to land. To his amazement he saw
that all the machines were marked
with the black cross. The Germans
began firing while the excited me-
chanics began to swing the propellers
In order to start up the airplanes.
The airman realized that a consid-
cradle wind had been blowing from
the west and had carried him far be-
hind the lines and he had not allowed
himself enough time before he Owed
through the clouds.
Meanwhile he flew on, pursued holly
for the second time, and drew near
the lines. Ahead of him he could see
cloudy turmoil Of smoke and burst
ing shells and flying earth. A
big attack was evidently in progress.
The air was full of the white puffs Of
the shrapnel breaking low over the
troops. Straight toward this mael-
strom he few and soon machine guns
on the ground began to fire flaming
bullets at him. So low was he that
the barrage blazed all around him.
information Is Important.
Below he could see gray masses OF
Germans collecting for a counter
attack. He realized this might be I'M
portant information, and so landed as
soon as possible, crashing in a she'll
hole.
He crawled out Of the wreckage,
ran stumbling across the shell-torn
earth, found a French headquarters
rear by, where he reported what he
had seen.
This information proved Of notable
importance. Action was taken at once
and the tide Of that battle was turned
to Frances favor.

Atlantic Cable, After Three Disheart-
ening Failures, Was Successfully
Laid In JuIy-August, 1853.

Sixty years ago our broad Yankee
land awoke and learned that the old
country and the new had been united
by magical tie-the Atlantic cable.
Through the courage and persistence
of three Americans-there were 9TH
ers, but the three were the actual cable
sponsors Cyrus w. Field, his brother,
David Dudley Field, and that fine old
philanthropist, Peter Cooper-the great
project was carried over. The total
cost was $1,S34,50O, the cable alone
taking $1,256,25O and the line crossed
from Trinity bay, Newfoundland, to
Valentia, Ireland, the cable being very
close to $500 miles long
Three times the attempt to lay the
cable had failed, chiefly owing to de-
fects In its material. The fourth at
tempt was successful. The Niagara,
then the largest ship in the United
States navy, and the Agamemnon, q
British warship, met in midocean on
July 20, 1858, each carrying section
of the cable. The ends were carefully
spliced and then the two ships turned
homeward, moving slowly as they paid
out the cable. On August 4 the Mia
CARA reached Trinity bay; the Aga
memnon reached Valentia on the 9th.
On August 16 the cable was pro-.
nounced in working order, and here Is
the first official message that passed
across:
Europe and America are united by.
telegraphy. Glory to God in the high.

men,"

KICK OF THE MULE.
It To Not Treachery, but Fear, That
 Moves the Springs.

Handled intelligently, a mule Is a most willing worker but there are few unwritten laws that cannot be transgressed with impunity. A mule will seldom make more than two at- tempts to move load. On the first strain he will throw his whole force into the collar, and mule can pull 90 per cent more In proportion to his weight than a horse. Science Is dumb at the question whence comes that latent force which neither horse nor ass possesses.
 After short rest the mule will make a second attempt, bur this Is seldom as sustained as the first. If the load still refuses to move, the team might as well be unh!tched At times the mules will not even cxcgt enough force on a third attempt to move an empty wagon.
 Mules are charged with treachery only by those who have never given an intensive study to their habits. Mules defend themselves from that which they do not understand. They become accustomed to being harnessed and unharnessed while colts, md 1t is traditional that a mule never kicks while being saddled or harnessed. The beast knows what that means.
 But 1t is also traditional that a mule sleeps with one eye open. He Is al- ways alert to what Is going OH about him. 1t, is never safe to stoop down suddenly to pick something up behind or at the side of mule. That Is to him an unexplained action. He can not fathom the intent back of it, and he generally lets fly with one or both heels by way of protest.
 A person who has harneSsed and un- ,harnessed a mule for months may for get himself and stOOp for something at the animals heels. Then the mule, docile for 50 many days. begins to kick. When the luckless driver r1gains his senses he imagines the mule had been waiting, craftily all those weeks just to get a good opportunity to kick him. Los Angeles Times.

WILL HAVE ELKS
 LODGE

Anchorage will soon have g lodge of the Benevolent andd Protective Order of Elks, says the Anchorage Times. Word Lc this effect was re- ceiyed Dec. 21, by Samuel Mcdonald acting secretary of the Bills club, a social organization of Elks here, from the grand secretary of the order The new lodge, the num- Der of which will be 1851, will be installed by George B. Forrest, of Juneau, district deputy grand ex- alted ruler for Alaska.
 The Anchorage lodge will be the third in Alaska, the other two be- ing at Juneau and Skagway, and as it's name implies is the one thou and, three hundred and fifty-first in the United States and territories Only cities having a population of 5000 or more can obtain 0 charter for an Elks lodge.
 The date of the installation of the lodge here will be fixed thru correspondence between officers of the Bills club and District Deputy Forrest. It will be made the oc- casion of great celebration on the part of Elks here.
 T>e obtaining of a charter for an Elks lodge in Anchorage is due to the unremitting efforts of the mem bers of the Bills club. It was form ed in 1915 and immediately ac- luired a lot and built and furnish ed & large log club house on Fourth avenue near F street. At the request of the Bills club, MayerJ. G. Watts authorized the enumera- tion of the inhabitants of the city last fall, and immediately after this enumeration application was made to Fred Harper, grand exalted rul- CT of the Elks order, for a charter. His faYobrale decision was con- municated to the grand secretary who at once notified the district deputy for Alaska. .'
