Just in this connection it may
be said that it is a matter OF
pride to the citizens of McCon-
nellsburg, that they have room
into which strangers may be in
vited to attend the County lnsti-
tutes, and other public entertain
ments for the public good, and
this room is the Auditorium of
the Public School Bull ding.
With debt existing on the build
ing, the School Board did not feel
justified in increasing the tax to
furnish and beautify the audi
torium! Local pride prompted
the younger people to take it up
on themselves to have the work
done and to assume the payment
Of the same. An organization,
the McConnellsburg Dramatic
Club, was formed, the work was
done, and we now have one Of the
finest rooms in this section of the
State. The club is trying to cancel
thedebt by giving our local public,
good, clean entertainments, and
our people will be only too gladto
help the Club out, and at the
same time get value received for
their contributions.

Chrysalis and Butterfly

TRANSLATED BY WILLIAM l.. NC
PHERSON.
HAVE taught many children In
my life, as my calling as a gov
erness required me to do. But
none of my pupils ever gave me
more trouble than Martha
d'Hourville.
She was. at twelve years. a child
with undisciplined instincts - egotis-
tical, violent and fantastically proud.
She was really pretty and had n
face which was expressive. though
disdainful. Her complexion, delicate
as a flower. and her deep brown eyes
harmonized with her rich blond hair.
Her movements. quick and graceful.
recalled those of young wild animal.
From the first day felt sort of ten
derness for her.
"She Is spoiled child. Mile. Bu-

overindulged her Try to master
her"
did my best in the years which
followed. BY the exercise Of pa
tience I succeeded in repressing my
pupils worst tendencies. l also be-
came much attached to her.
Martha reached eighteen in the
spring of 1914. She was now a young
girl of marvellous beauty. a little
naughty. but very attractive.
Suitors multiplied With 100000
francs as dowry Martha repre-
sented what is known as great
catch. / felt sure that she would
presently make a choice between the
ViGomte de Saint-Genouix and the
Marquis de Vercelles-the two who
seemed to please her more than the
rest. Their assiduous attentions and
their open and avowed rivalry inter-
ested her. But. eventually, to the
great indignation of her parents. she
refused them both. on the ground
that she did not find either OF them
worthy Of her.
IL my advice had been sought I
should have counselled Martha to
marry Baron d'Aucelaux. whose solid
qualities had inspired my confidence.
he was tall young man, Win a Iace
which was certainly homeN. but
which suggested decided vein of
spirituality. 1t was lighted UP by
magnificent gray-green eyes. which
looked out on the world with an in
genuous and curious gaze.
Martha could not laugh enough at
his reserve, his seriousness and his
studiousness. He had Travelled a
great deal and published interesting
essays in the big reviews. Moreover,
having little more than enough to
live on and being proud and not self
seeking. he had never asked for the
hand of the brilliant heiress. I sus-
pected all the time that he cherished
a secret passion for my pupil Yes,
decidedly. II was Jacques d'AucelauX
to whom I should have given the pref
erence. But Martha never consulted
me.

er any great power has done SO we'll
for example, as France has done In
Algeria and Tunis In taking the Arabs
into the administration and recognise
ing their rights. This feature OF
French colonial administration ap-
plies to economic as well as to politi-
cal affairs.
The economic phase of the auestion
most careful consideration because
of the plan of an economic boycott
of Germany after the war. While
many persons believe that the war
will not be ended II one of the re.
suits is the formation of an economic
alliance against Germany. there Is no
escaping the knowledge that Ger-
many will not be allowed to domi-
nate the worlds markets.
AT the Paris economic conference In
the midsummer of 1915. France, as
one Of the members of the alliance.
committed her colonies to 1t. Great
Britain, through the presence of sew
eral of the colonial premiers, did the
same. although any one of them could
have held out had 1t chosen to do SO.
But the sentiment on the part of the
British overseas premiers was even
stronger than that on the part OF the
English government itself.
While the collapse IN Russia. which
was party to the alliance. has been
assumed to abrogate 1t, and while the
judgment of many statesmen among
the entente allies, including the
United States, has not been favorable
been given the sentiment for eco-
nomic measures against Germany by
the plans to control the raw materials
OF the world in way that will make
Berlin powerless to provide means
Tor FOR. new new war. The British govsrn-
ment has made pretty dehnite ans
nouncement OF these plans with the
reservation that they have not vet
peen approved by the United States.
1t is doubtless correct. therefore, to
assume as .n that they have been approved
Dy the French government and that
the French colonies will be put In
the same category with the British
colonies In their policy regarding raw
materials. -
These French colonies do not, how
ever possess the same advantage that
the British colonies do. They have
certain tropical products which may
De denied to Germany, but these are
OF less Importance than mineral prod
octs. The mineral resources Of Mo-
rocco was one cause of the trouble
there since Germany was Determined
to control them. That prospect is now
gone forever. There are also min

which VIII not be available to Ger

and even II she had she would want

that the French colonial possessions

brltish possessions in denying Ger

In pursuance of the proposed eco.
nomic boycott Of Germany. II it is to
be carried out. some rsadjustment OF
both British and French colonial tarifr
policies will be required, but SO long
as the economic boycott is confined to
raw materials this will not be a din.
cult matter. The French colonial
tariff policy differs radically from
what has been the British policy.
While England has been a free-trade
country. France has been prot tective
one. Though the self-governing Brit
ish colonies. such as Canada and Aus
tralia, have established preferential
tariffs. England has not done this In
the possessions which are not self
governing. The French colonial sys.
tenn has been based on the old idea OF
preferential advantages sometimes
approaching monopoly for the mother
country. France has sought to de-
velop the trade with these possessions
and to develop their own resources by
distinctiveiy preferential tariffs for
herself. At the same time a reasonable
degree Of fexibility has been pro.
vided for in the colonial tariffs. And In
making trade treaties France. II not
exactly generous. has not been unduly
selfish at the expense of her colonies.
Since British policy now seems de
rected toward the establishment Of
preferential tariffs throughout the
empire, England will find little objeo.
tion to the French colonial tariff sys.
tenn. While Canada and Australia and
the other self governing colonies haee
given England a tariff preference, this
has been done as part Of their own
policies and not as an imperial meas.
ure. But the announcements from
London now are to the effect that after
the war there is to be an Imperial
preferential tariff policy. II this plan
be carried out England's colonial
tariff policy will not differ essentially
from that Of France. And, apparent.
ly. 1t would not prevent a common
policy In regard to raw materials from
the colonies Of both countries.
