Little Old Boche, Seemingly So Gentle

Then, as he neared, compassion seiz-

circled by the arm of friend, and his
head wabbled weakly as he ran. He
had a little pointed beard which curr-

f0rty-five years old; he was the hun-

on q stone near the dugout entrance !;
he would not lie down, but his head

Sense of Speed.

W. p. BeaZell says in an article in
a New York paper, telling some of his
flying experiences: Very little sense
of speed comes to one in the air.
There is, of course, the tremendous
rush of air past ones face, but a whirl-
Ing propeller will give that before one
has left the ground. There are no
landmarks in the air, and it is by
landmarks that we measure the speed
of trains and automobiles, for III

the landlubber begins to realize that

brooks are rivers, and that by hold
ing out his hand he can blot from view
a county. When that happens he be

Passive Resister, Perhaps.

A few months ago JefferSonyille re-
ceived some new city cars which eX-
cited much admiration. They are fit
ed with all the newest devices, safety
doors that will not open until the car
stops and that will not let the car
start again until they are closed pay
as-you-enter arrangements; and so
forth. But pride had fall few
nights ago when one of these nice new
city cars tried to buck small auto
mobile of a make of widely known re-
pute, and supposed to be as addicted
to the way of peace as the man whose
name they bear. The automobile was
standing perfectly quiet-just like ''tar
baby"-and mot sayin' muffin when
the car bucked it. When the fracaS
was over, the auto had a slight limp in
its rear parts, but the city car was de-
rallied by the impact. Honors were

TAKE THEIR REST ON FLOOR
Russian Peasants Have Beds That Are
Costly, but They Do Not Siunn-

In the home of Russian peasant
Denis Garstin discovered the great
bed, according to the Youths Com

saints and lovers, and crude photo

article, dominating over all in the room
and insisting ON all observance, was
the bed.
It was Il massive creation in itself,
made still more imposing by layer on
