LONDON. Dec. "A plot to re-
store imperialism and secure the re-
turn Of Emperor William has been
discovered in Berlin. according to a
dispatch from Amsterdam.
Acco .ding to the dispatch, which
was filed at Amsterdam on Friday,
the chief men gehind the plot were
Field Marshal Won Mackensen. Cen
eral Won Born and General Count
Sixt Won Arnim. Large sums Of
money are said to have been placed
at the disposal Of the leaders by
munition makers.
The plot collapsed owing to the
fact that secret service agent ov-
erheard a telephone conversation.
Many arrests have been made in
Berlin and other cities. while the
government has long lists of sus

10 MemOriam.

In sad but loving remembrance
of our dear mother, Mary J..
Clevenger, who departed this
life one year ago, May 6, 1917.
Death has robbed us OF our mother
Whom we loved and cherished so
1t was mother, our dear mother,
Can we help but shed tear.
Mother dear, you're not for yotten
Nor never will'you be,
For as long as life and memory lasts,
Well always think of thee.
Mother we are so sad and lonely,
Since you have gone from us,
And there is no more pleasure
In this dreary world for us.
Home is no home for mother is not
there,
But has gone to that home so peace
full and fair.
In silence she suffered in patience she
bore,
Until God called her home to suffer
no more.
Her willing hands are folded
Her tolls on earth are done,
Her troubles are all ended
Her heavenly crown is won.
I did not know the pain she had,
| did not see her die,
| only know she passed away,
And never said goodbye.
| mourn for her in silence,
None shall see me weep,
But in my sorrowing heart,
Her loving memory | shall keep.
"MAME."

DiscOuragug Letters Cause D.sertions.

In recent statement the War
Department strongly advises
against discouraging letters to
soldiers:
Recent reports from COM
manding generals of certain
Army divisions indicate that one
of the fruitful causes of soldiers
absenting themselves without
leave is the discouraging letter
from home. Such letters fire.
quently give alarming aud exag-
gerated reports or conditions
surrounding the soldiers family,
that some member is desperately
i'll, that all are starving, or that
they are being in some way har-
assed. In instances such letters
have so preyed upon the minds of
soldiers that they have absented
themselves without leave to go
home, only to find that conditions
had been grossly exagi Grated.
Meanwhile, the soldier had
been absent without Leave Sc
rious military offense. His prob
lem then became one of facing
the penalty or getting deeper in
to trouble by dtserting. Some
times a mans pride or fear has
led him to desert.
Every soldier wants to receive
letters from home. They should
be frequent, cheerful, hopeful,
and appreciative of the sacrifice
that he is making for his coun-
try. They shou uld be full of fam
lily Incidents and cheerful home
gossip. They should protect him
from the trifling alarms and the
small annoyances Of everyday |
life. They should encourage him |
by giving full confidence that |
his family and his friends stand |
behind him in the great enter
prise he has undertaken.

GOLDEN NEEDLES.
They Were Used When oaiIants ~
France Did Fancy Work.


During the old regime in France,
about which so much glamour re-
mains to us, the very men who were
living and making the history Of the
empire of Louis passed their leisure
time in a way that seems to us Of
today utterly ridiculous. In all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
ed themselves the men seem to have
taken part.
Poinsinet in one of his comedies
represents q young marquis enter
Ing q room where two fair damsels
are embroidering. One is working
q piece OF dress trimming, the other
q Marty hounce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eye of a

he takes little gold tube out o.
the pocket of his richly decorated
waistcoat and selects q dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise is working and fin
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and. selling one end of the
founce, assists Ismene, to whom he
pays special attention, to complete
her task.
AT THE time it was the custom of
the ladies' invariably to carry their
Workings with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had hot
only their embroidery materials, bu,

their patch boxes and rouge pots
Gentlemen also carried deity em
broidered little bags into compan,
which held "a whole arsenal of CT
lery and fancy articles, such
boxes OF different shapes filed W
lozenges, bonbons, snuff and Sect.
At another period the fashion

paste them on screens, lamp shade
boxes and vases. The skill an TN

of a statewide application OF this pol

those delegates to favor the measure
would be to commit political suicide
