W. A. Appleton of London, Sec
rotary of the General Federation
of Trade Unions of England, writ
ing in the federation organ, makes
an appreciative reference to the
Americans whom he saw during a
recent visit to France. 81 saw
everywhere" he said, samples OF
the American armies that we are
expecting will enable the allies to
clear France of the Huns. Most
of the men are fine specimens Of
humanity, and those with whom
| spoke showed no signs of brag-
gadocio, too fully attributed to
America. They were quiet, we'll
spoken fellows, fully alive to the
seriousness of the task they have
undertaken and they apparently
have but one regret-that they
had not come into the war sooner
1t was pleasant to talk with these
fellows and derive encouragement
from their quiet, unobtrusive
strength"

What is believed to be the best
physical test record of the north
west was reported at Grangeville
Tuesday night by the county
draft board at the conclusion of a
two days examination of young
men called under class /. Of the
total of 70 young men who sub
mitted to examination 81 passed.
They came from all parts of the
county and represented various
trades and stations in life, though
mountaineers and boys from the
Snake and Salmon river countries
predominated. Of the 13 who
failed to meet the physical re-
quirements two had pronounced
defective eyesight and two others
had sustained loss of limbs and
fingers.

An exchange sensibly says that
we are not going to wait to whip
the king of beasts until he comes
to this country. We are going to

lick him to a FRAGILE, not alone
for our own good but for the good
of his own terror-stricken and mis-
guided subjects.

VIXEN Clothes Reveal the Man

From the day when our first parents
dressed, dressing-up began. Clothes
were invented and continued as form
Of hiding But one can imagine the op-
posite process; clothes might have been
not disguise, but an expression. 1t
from the first our garments had been
chosen as a vehicle of personality If
ctr nature had wrought out in hue and
texture and design-wc should have
walked the world in removable skins.
We should have been on an equal foot
ing with our old enemy the snake, who
still shares with George the Fourth the
honor Of being the best dressed gentle
man. Our stripes and spots would have
been as significant as the stripes of
the tiger, the spots of the butterfly.
We should have needed neither detec-
tives uor testimonials; the rogue could
no ,Nore have concealed his roguery
than the nightshade its deadly berries;
modesty would have gathered on the
maiden check as the bloom upon the
plum. We never should have doubted
then in which sense a complexion was
fast.--l.ondon Daily News.

Why Bachelors Seldom
Marry Old Maids

An old fashioned matchmaker Is
shaking her head over three new 1ail-
ures-failures because she tried to
marry three old bachelors to three old
maids. The first bachelor married
divorce, the second merry WIDOW
and the third young mss 1resh from
boarding school.
One would naturally suppose that a
lonely old bachelor would prefer l
lonely unmarried lady about his own
age. But matchmakers have found
that such is not the case
Whenever an old maid and an ola
bachelor meet, there is a noticeable
clash. They seem to despise each other
and one can almost hear them mutter:
"You old maid!" and "You old bache-
lori" "Why weren't you|engaged at
sweet sixteen?" and "Why haven't you
taken wife and supported her as
other men? ?"
Although the bachelor may be the
same age as the old maid they are
miles and miles apart. The bachelor
has had many love affairs all these
long years. He is still young and
giddy at heart, though his head may be
bald and his teeth. false! But the
spinster has not had love affair for
many year. Her heart has grown
cold and covered with moss. She looks
upon the bachelors boyish laugh,
twnkling eyes and giddy manner with
scorn. She naturally hates this half
boy, who looks as old and is as old as
she and still has the nerve to make an
"old fool of himself" Naturally he
finds no comfort in her society.-Fay
Stevenson in The st. Louis PostDis-
match.

the " suterlngs of these poor people by
- - y: Howland, representative of the
heiglan Relief Commission stationed
here, and by Mrs. Rowland, his wife.
Aged Men and Women Slaves
Describing the scene of the return
OF trainload of refugees, Mr.. How
land writes:
Slowly the long line came toward
US, the old and the young about equally
divlded-aias, but few of middle age,
1cr the Germans had use for such and
would not let them 60 While few
showed traces of actual destitution, we
knew that but small number pos
sessed more than the clothes they
wore and what the handbags and
bundles they carried contained.
They were not emaciated, but their
faces we're worn, sometimes anemic.
How could they be otherwise after
the years of constant suffering and
continued horrors they had endured,
with no hope of release before them
chance the good fortune to be en-
rolled in one of these little bands of
repatriates.
"Now and again some one would rush
out from the sidewalk to greet rela-
tive or friend recognized after years
OF absence. But though such instances
were rare, they served to buoy up the
hopes of the rest that perhaps farther
along they, TOO, would be as fortunate.
Brave Tots Cling to Mothers
1.-TWO short rests were made that the
seemingly countless children might be
able to keep up. Brave little tots they
were, holding close to their mothers
if they dad them, or, if not, to those
who had bcfriended them on the way
for many were orphans or had had
their parents taken away by the Ger
mans to work, perhaps hundreds Of
miles from their homes.
Inside the great rooms of the Ca
sino long lines Of tables set for supper
filled almost the entire space. AS the
rcpatries filed in, women showed then,
to their seats, while others distributed
small Fench flags to young and old
alike-the flag that once more they
might wave freely.
Bowls of soup, slices of good bread
hot, well-cooked meat and glasses Of
red wine still further cheered the
hearts of the strangers, so that when
the orchestra in its gallery began ia
play well-known and cherished French
airs-airs that had not been heard be-
fore in all these long years-tears
