Learns OF the War.

woman was discovered in this
city yesterday who has lived all
through the great war and did not
know that 1t was going on. She is an
aged woman of German birth. Her
age kept her son from telling her
about the horrors of the invasion OF
Belgium and of the sinking of the Lu-
sitania. He didn't wish her to worry
and fret. But the day of the peace
demonstration made It impossible to
keep silent. The old lady heard the
whistles blowing and the crowds
cheering and she demanded to know
what 1t was all about. When they told
her she raised her hands In a gesture
of imprecatlon and said: "Oh, IL only
l could get these two hands on the
kaiserl" The interesting part OF her
story is that her husband was a Ger
man soldier. The gray uniform was
so detested by him that he made his
wife, before his death, promise that
she would come to America so that
none Of their sons ever would be COM

most. OF them prefer a man of char

bear this in mind. It will be well, in
order to match rival candidates, for
each to have good tailor and an ad-
visory committee on the proper shade
OF cravats. Immaculate linen will have

SAID ICE CREAM "BURNED'
Think OF It. French Riddles Had to Be
coaxed to Partake Of Strange
Deiieacyl

Striking proof of the well-known
fact that extreme heat and extreme
cold have the same physical properties
was recently furnished by "Jugger"
Crane. the scisntist-philosopher Of
Company B. --th engineers. when he
fed some American ice cream to
group Of French children, says the
Sptker.
The inhabitants OF the French farm
houses near the camp had never seen
any Ice cream until "Jugger" took
them over a mess kit full Of the great
American delicacy.
The children gathered around ex-
pectantly. The first one took n spoon
full and at once began to weep and de-
clare that the strange food was hot
The others who had watched rather
horror stricken the fate of the first be-
came convinced that 1t was some sort
of white fire and would have nothing
to do with the cream.
The mother had to eat virtually all
the cream In order to induce them to
believe It was cold rather than hot
and that when not taken too fast, was
good to eat Eventually, the children
ate the last of the dish.
But they partook of 1t gingerly, evil

which first seemed hot, then cold,
could be good to eat.
