An American Monument.

On our walk back to the waiting cars
we passed a little cemetery, where 1875
American boys lie buried. Over each
grave is a small wooden cross, to which
Is. attached a circular bit OF sheet metal
four or five inches In diameter, bear
ing a representation Of the Stars and
Stripes In color. Under the flag Is the
Identification tag The crosses stand in
straight rows, pitifully close together.
In the center of the little plot three
rifles are stacked, and above them
waves a small American flag. Some
good friend has laid a large wreath at
the roadside edge of the plot, and bou-
quets have been placed in three partly
exploded shells. Some day the Amerl-
can people will erect a monument to
those boys in Belleau wood, now Bel
leau wood no longer, but called by the
grateful French people the wood of
the marine brigade.
Sad as are thoughts evoked by this
little cemetery, and others like it in the
neighborhood, we can not forget how
gloriously these young men played the
part that was assigned to them. Amer
leans did not retreat. There Is no spot
In France where one can say: Here
the Americans were beaten, and from
this place they fled" No matter how
| difficult the ground, they went ahead,
sometimes slowly, but always surely,
and when the war ended they had just
brought to a close a campaign in which
their casualties outnumbered those of
both sides at Gettysburg by three to
one, ] refer to the operations In the
Argonne forest, but that is another
story.

VENICE HAD FIRST THEATER
Buildings Designed Solely for Perform.
anees Were Erected In the italian
City In the Year 1929.

The theater proper began In Venice
in 1929, when comedy and melOdrama,
hitherto presented on temporary
stages erected in the squares or in the
halls Of palaces, passed into buildings
especially made for that purpose. Pom
PEG MOlmenti, the Italian historian, re-
lates that the earliest genuine musical
drama heard in Venice was the Pro-
serpinaarapita Of Giulio Strozzi, set to
music by CaudiO Montevarde. From
1887 onward theaters rose so rapidly
that by the close of the Seicento they
numbered Is In Venice; some were
devoted to comedy, others to music,
others again were used indifferently
for comedy or melOdrama. Almost all
the theaters belonged to noblemen who
reserved boxes for themselves and
took the rent for the buffet. The Coun-
Gil of Ten settled the hour of the per-
Torrance and the length OF time 1t
might take.s The advertisements were
posted at the piazzetta and at Rialto,
while criers went through the town to
announce the play and the hour when
the house would open.

THAT TIME MOUSE SCORED
Puss UndeniabIy Had Clever Scheme,

Bulletin boasts of clever cat. He
says: We've got brainy cat In our
camp. The mice .sink shafts about 6
inches deep. then tunnel for about
inches. When the cat reckons it's din
ner time she calls when Mrs. Mouse
is at home. plugs the exit with one
hind leg, and then tears up the tunnel
with her front claws. 1t generally re-
suits In hot-mouse lunch but recent
ly puss struck shrewd mouse. Its
tunnel was twice as long as usual, so
that stretch as she would puss could
not reach the menu. For few min
utes the cats whiskers twitched in
deep thought. Then with a feline grin
she withdrew her hind leg from the
hole and inserted her tail instead. She
stretched out to her full length and
commenced to dig. A minute later
that cat was ball of bristling hair
looping the loop in the air with the
teeth Of NANCY little mouse sunk

hard, bounced twice and shot awaysir
