"a GOOD 'FRONT.'

A famous self-made man once declared that
if he were out of a job and had only $50, he'd
spend the 20 for new suit of clothes because
he knew how important it was to make favor
able first impression-that is. he would put up
good front"
And that's all right.
But another man-who lived a long time ago
but whose influence will probably be felt long
after the self-nade man has been forgotten, made
this observation:
eff had two pence, would buy bread with
one and with the other I would buy white
hyacinths for the good of my SOUL
The difference between the two men was that
the one concerned chiefly about the outer
man, while the other was careful about the
inner man.
Both bits of advice are valuable and both are
necessary. But the old sage who advised that
the inner man be built up first was the wiser of
portance.
You can't hide starved soul by putting up
good front-it's bound to show through.
And, to those who see, it makes a man look
hungrier and more pitiful than he who wears
shiny coat and dimes on a crust of bread
It was expected that the Germans resistance
would stiffen when they touched the Hindenburg
line Which is merely preliminary to the allies
strengthening their offensive.

sKIP-sToP SYSTEM GREAT COAL SAVER

SKIP-STOP SYSTEM GREAT COAL SAVER
The United States fuel administration esti-
mate that the skip-stop system, which will be
in practice generally throughout the country to-
morrow, will accomplish saving of coal amount
ing to 100000 tons of coal annually.
The system will be made effective through the
voluntary cooperation of the American public,
municipal authorities, and street railway officials
Suggestions for operation, together with suf-
fcient instructions for the installation of the
system, have been submitted to the American
electric railway association war board; to the
United States fuel administrators; mayors, pub
lic-servce commissioners and city commissioners.
and to electric railway officials of all cities of
25, 900 and over.
In the few cities where the skip-stop system
is already in operation it is now effecting an

CHAPTER v.
With the as75,s.n

My pal Brown, of whom l spoke be-
fore, had been put in the infantry
when he enlisted In the Legion, be-
cause he had served in the United
States infantry. He soon became a
sergeant, which had been his rating
In the American service. l never saw
him in the trenches, because our out
fits were nowhere neal each other, but
whenever we were I'm billets at the
same time, we were together as much
as possible.
Brown was a funny card and I never
saw anyone else much like him. A
big. tall, red-headed, d~opey-looking fell
low, never saying much and slow in
everything he did or said-you would
snever think he amounted to much or
was worth his salt. The boys used to
call him "Ginger" Brown, both on ac-
count of his red hair and his slow
movements. But he would pull a sur
prise on you every once in a while,
like this one that he fooled me with.
One morning about dawn we started
out for a walk through what used to
be Dixmude-piles of stone and brick
and mortar. There were no civvles TO
be seen; only mules and horses bring
ing up casks of water, bags of beans,
chloride of lime, barbed wire, ammu-
milton. etc. 1t was a good thing we
were not superstitious. At that, the
shadows along the walls made me feel
shaky sometimes.

ON PANCH0'S MULE
United States Ranchman Now Rides
His White Animal,
Gro Be Continued

Francisco Villas famous milk-white
mule is to be seen every time L. c.
Able, a rancher near Fort Hancock,
Tex, comes to town for fresh supplies
of beans and bacon. The mule was
ridden in the field in Mexico by villa
when his wounded leg was too sore for
him to ride a horse. He said this par
ticular mule had a gait like a rocking
horse, and it was for this reason he
rode 1t except when directing a battle.
The mule was brought across from
Mexico by a Villa agent and later
sold to Mr.. Able by a rancher. His
name is Pancho Villa, Pancho being
the diminutive form of Francisco in
Mexican.

big house. 1 kept wondering how he
would know so much about It, but fol-
lowed him. Inside the house was a
p-assageway under the ruins. 1t was
about seven feet wide and fifty feet
long, l should judge.
At the other end was the great old
"75," poking its nose out Of a hole in
the wall. The gun captain and the
crew were sitting around waiting the
word for action, and they seemed to
know Brown well. 1 was surprised at
that, but still more so when he told
me / could examine the gun If 1
wanted to. just as if he owned it.
So / sat in the seat and trained the
cross wires on an object, opened and
closed the breech and examined the
recoil.
Then Brown said: "Well, Chink,
you'll see some real gunnery now" and
they passed the word and took sta
lions. My eyes bulged out when 1
saw Brown take his station with theml
"Silence I" is about the first COM
mand a gun crew gets when it is going
into action, but 1 forgot all about 1t,
and shouted out and asked Brown how
he got to be a gunner. But he only
grinned and looked dopey, as usual.
Then l came TO and expected to get a
call down from the officer, but he only
grinned and so did the crew. 1t
seems they had it all framed to spring
on me. and they expected l would be
surprised.
SO we put cotton in our ears and
the captain called the observation
tower a short distance away and they
gave him the range. Then the captain
'calIed 1928 meters' to Brown. They
placed the nose of a shell in a fuse
adjuster and turned the handle until
1t reached scale 1923. This set the
fuse to explode at the range given.
Then they slammed the shell into the
breech, locked It shut and Brown sent
his best to Fritz.
The barrel slipped back, threw out
the shell east at our feet and returned
over a cushion of grease. Then we
received the results by telephone from
the observation tower. After he had
fired twelve shots the captain said to
Brown, you should never waste your
self In infantry, SON" And old dOpey
Brown just stood there and grinned.
That was Brown every time. He
knew about more things than you could
think of. He had read about gunnery
and fooled around at Dixmude until
they let him play with the "75's." and
finally here he was, giving his kIndest
TO old Fritz with the rest of them.
/ " saw a battery better con
cealed than this one. Up on the ground
you couldn't see the muzzle twenty
yards away-and that was all there

be a hiss and an explosion, and Over
would go some of the trees, or maybe
a man or two, but never a shell struck
nearer the guns than that. The poilus
used 10 thank Fritz for helping them
pick the apples, because the explosions
would bring them down i'm great style.
Shells from u heavy artillery passed
just over the garden, too, making an
awful racket. But they were not in it

s Coffee and Coffee Making.

A system of chain stores in Louis
willie is advertising~coffee at a moder-
ate price upon the proposition that If
she consumer does not find it as good
as any coffee he can buy at any price
he may return it.
Nothing in culinary art is more
difficult apparently than making per
feet coffee. Some cooks, by NEGRO
macy they do not attempt to explain,
make an excellent beverage out of
lowrpriced coffee. Some of them
cannot made good coffee no matter
what the grade of the commodity
they use. There are fnnumerable
cock-sure offers of formulate for max
ang good coffee, but all rules seen.
to fail in some hands and some
hands and some cooks without rules
get good results.
Very probably there is a good deal
of bluff in very high-priced coffee
AT any rate there are many house
keepers who have, as last desperate
resort, paid the highest price in the
market for coffee only to be disap.
pointed, and there are housekepef;
who serve you coffee that is akin tc
nectar and tell you how little il
costs.

Heads of Households.

1t is the mothers who are the heads
of the households. The culinary de-
partment of your household is in
your domain. You decide all ques-
tions of diet. All the sanitary regu-
Iations of your house are under your
supervision. To regulate the food,
and the apparel, and the habits and
decide the thousand questions of
home life is tax upon your brain
and nerve and general health abso-
lutely appalling if there is no divine
alienation.
1t does not help you much to be
told that Elizabeth Fry did wonder
full things mid the criminals of New
gate 1t does not help you much to
be told that Florence Nightingale
was very kind to the wounded in
Crimea. 1t would be better for us to
tell you that the divine friend of
Mary and Martha is you friend, and
that He sees all the annoyances
and disappointments and abrasions
and exasperations of an ordinary
housekeeper from morn till night and
from the first day of the year to, the
last day of the year and at your call

18th was the coolest day since the
cold New Year of 1864, the thermom-

Home People First.

1t frequently happens that a
stranger coming into community
and putting on the airs of gentle
man, is taken up at once and Iioniz-
ed, though nothing whatever Is
known of his antecedents and the
sequel often proves that it is the best
not to take up with strangers too
readily. The old friends whom we
have known all our lives and whose
characters are firm and established
as the everlasting hills, are too apt
to become commonplace to us, but
we know they will do to tie to,
and it is not best to give them UP
for those whom we do not know
The man or woman who builds up a
character and maintains it for years
in the same community deserves some
consideration, and the friendship OF
such people is to be preferred at all
times to the snowy attention OF
strangers.

The Thirst Trammelers.

Beyond doubt that element of so
ciety which feels. that it is called
upon to prescribe the rules of living
for the remainder is convinced that
the drinking of liquid refreshments
is its peculiar province. Time was
when, with apparently good reasons,
it could be admonished as to the con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages and
even insist upon the enactment of
laws to prohibit the habit. That era
is passed. Now approaches the hour
when regulation is to be applied to
the drinking of all brews and decoc-
tionsa including the nerve-shatterins
tea, hailed at last into the light as
stimulant and therefore dangerous.
For the present, according to local
report, the organization will devote
itself to the extirpation of soft
drink sold in large quantities at the
military camps on the ground that
it contains a drug and to the Danish
ment of patent medicines which
have in their makeup percentage
of corrupting and moral destroying
alcohol.
1t so happens that the reputed
frightful drug contained in the soft
drink is the same that furnishes the
active principle of stimulation in
coffee, tea and cocoa and it is also
a fact that the amount Of alcohol
which may be used in medicines IS
supervised by the Federal Govern
ment, which draws a distinction be-
tween them and disguised beverages.
But what boots this explanation ?
The regulators have already decided
that the Government shall Gust these
articles from the market. Soon the
blessed bean of Araby and its sooth-
ing leaf of Cathay will come within
the excommunication, the bacteriolo
gists will find more bugs in the milk
and the water supply and-but
what's the use?

boys on the farm. the Farmer who
had two spring seats to put on his
wagon for gala days was considered
a fortunate and wellto-do farmer
Most farmers then had only one
spring seat and the children sat be-
hind on mere boards laid across the
wagon bed. Then came the farmer
who had the spring wagon, smaller
wagon with springs under it. Then
the top carriage, and so on. Now it
is the automible that runs not only
on springs but on cushioned tires
and one automobile costs about as
much as thirty spring wagons used
to cost. In all of this we may catch
the drift of progress and also an ex-
PLANTATION of the high cost Of" living.
But we have to have such things
now.

Labor Versus IdIeneSS.

There is no blight like the blight
of idleness. 1t is in the unworked
garden that weeds grow. 1t is in the
stagnant water that disease germs
waken to horrid life. 1t is in the
calm that marines lose heart, and
from the spent battlefelds pestilence,
more dreaded foe than the red car
mage of war. Ennui pals upon q
brave heart as Frustrated peace falls
upon true soldier. Ennui is like a
loag-winded, amiable, but watery-
idead friend who dropped in to see
us and dribbles platitudes until
every nerve stands out like porcupine
quilts and We long for the advent OF
an enemy. Ennui is like being fore
ed to eat meat without salt, or to
drink tepid water. Labor, on the
contrary, if it be remunerated labor,
is friend with grit and endurance
in his makeup. 1t comes to us as a
wind visits the forest, and sets all
our facilities stirring, as the wind
rufles the treetops. 1t saltens up our
meat and spices our drink.

Waiting For Wilhelm.

Away down yonder in the bottomless
pit,
Is chair all ready for the Kaiser
to sit,
And the Devil is waiting with his
greasy hand
To slide him right into the frying
pan.
How soon twill be no one can tell.
But he's sure on his way to a placa
called He'll;
He and his fiends that are wokins
together.
Should flock down there like birds
of feather. rs
There is no place on this old earth
For the Kaiser, or any of the Ka;-
ser's birth;
The only way to have peace again
Is to send him down there with
his dad to reign.
