"L0VE THAT SUBDUES EARTH
Robert q. IngersolI's Beautiful Trib

It takes a hundred men to make

woman as the most beautiful object
ever created, but I reverence her as
the redeeming glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all the virtues, the pledge
Of all perfect qualities Of heart and
head. 1t is not just nor right to lay
the sins of men at the feet Of women.
1t Is because women are so much
better than men that their faults are
considered greater. A mans desire is
the foundation of his love, but wom-
ans desire Is born Of her love. The
one thing In this world that is con.

all clouds, the one window in which
the light forever burns, the one star
that darkness cannot quench, is won.

It rises to the greatest heights, ii
sinks to the lowest depths. It forgives
the most cruel injuries. It is peren-
NAL Of life and grows in every climate.
Neither coldness nor neglect, harsh
ness nor cruelty, can extinguish it. A
woman's love is the perfume Of the
heart. This is the real love that sub
dues the earth the love that has
wrought all miracles Of art that gives
us music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing symphony
that bears the soul away on wings of
fire. A love that is greater than pow

Feather Convicted Thief.

A green feather decided a curious
case at Bishop, Auckland, Australia,
recently. A man was charged with the
theft Of a canary, but declared that
he had bought the bird. In the course
Of evidence it was stated the prose
cutor's bird had green feather. Elk
animation failed to uncover green
feather on the bird in question, but it
was pointed out that it might have
been plucked. Accordingly the case
was adjourned to see If the feather
would grow again. The bird was hand
ed to the care Of a well-known fancier,
and each party agreed that the case
should be decided on whether the
feather grew or not. A few days later
the fancier produced the bird, and it
was observed that the dark green
feather had grown again. Defendant
was then fined five dollars and costs.

Strong Seasoning Harmful.

In an article about food and grow
ing fat, a well-known doctor says in
American Magazine:
"When you continue to pour strong
mustard and other seasonings into
your food day after day ana week
after week there can be no question
that their effect is injurious. 1t is ex-
actly the same as If one used drug
Of some sort. Constant use creates
the desire to increase quantities I'M
til the amount used becomes positive
~ harmful.
''For example, every one knows that
when mustard or pepper is put on the
skin the skin reddens and in few
minutes a blister is caused. And,
since the skin can stand great deal
more than the membrane Of the mouth
and stomach, you can well imagine the
effect upon It when you pour strong
mnstards and peppers into your stom-
ach. 30 If you are prone to indiges-
ton and gastritis see If, you are not
using too much seasoning in your
food.

Church Many Centuries Old.

The church of st. Martin, at Can
terbury, is claimed by some to be the
oldest church in Great Britain now in
use. The building, in excellent repair,
contains many features attributable to
Roman and Saxon architecture, and
was the scene Of st. Augustine's
preaching and the baptism of Ethel
bert, king of Kent. After the de-
parture of the Romans from Britain in
400, the church was still used by a
small band of Christian worshipers till
st. Augustine's mission in 597, and
within the walls of this cradle of Eng
lish Christianity Divine service has
been celebrated for at least 13 CEN
turtles without any apparent Interrupt
ton.

AMERICAN TROOPS RAN TO GET
INTO THE FIGHT AT THE APP
PORTED TIME; HOW THEY
GRIPFED. AND VANQUISHED THE
ENEMY

With the British Army in France
Details of the brilliant battle which
the Americans and British fought for
the spur are now available. In order
to go over the top at the appointed
time, the Americans were forced to
make rapid march, in the last part
Of which they ran, so as to be in the
fight.
Hurried on their way by the advanc-
ing British, French and American
troops on the Amfens- -Somme battle
field, the Germans throughout the day
retired all along the line, attempting
to save whatever they could as the
French launched a new attack on
MonSdidier. The elements of the
German divisions became badly con-
fused in their operations through try
ing to hold up the Allies in their sew
eral attacks. 1t was a victorious day
for the Allies, who smasher all the
German resistance. ~
And the Americans "Kept Going"
In the American attack, the German
infantry, held for a while and then
broke and the Americans kept going,
at some places without the assistance
of the tanks. The ground, pitted with
deep gullies, was unsuited for tank
warfare.
There were no trenches, but a thin
smoke screen blowing across the
ground Indicated where the enemy's
positions lay. At the same time the
German artillery became active and
dropped shells in the direction of the
American troops which inflicted a few
casualties. The Americans, however,
ran on 'and reached the smoke line
just as it lifted. There they found
themselves at grips with the enemy.
Where They "Faced Hail of Bullets"
Meanwhile certain American units
had reached positions in front of a
wood when the Germans opened fire
with machine guns. Many Of these
enemy machine gunners came up from
deep dugouts after the American bar.
rage had ceased and they placed their
guns in prepared pits. The Americans
Ifaced a hail of bullets here.

London-The eleven German divi-

pieces are already in such condition
that they can be of little use to the

to the two principal arteries of com
