met q group of scholars when
was in Paris-some gentlemen
from one of the Greek universities
who. had come to see me, and in
whose presence I felt very young,
indeed. I told them that I had one
of the delightful revenges that some
times comes to a man. All my life
1 had heard men speak with q sort
of condescension of ideals and of
idealists, and particularly those sep
arated, encloistered persons whom
they choose to term academic, who
were in the habit of uttering ideals
in the free atmosphere when thew
clash with nobody in particular.
And said 1 have had this sweet
revenge. Speaking with perfect
frankness in the name of the people
of the United States, I have uttered
as the objects of this great war
ideals, and nothing but ideals, and
the war has been won by that in
spiration. Men were fighting with
tense muscle and lowered head un-
til they came to realize those things.
feeling they were fighting for their
lives and their country, and when
! these accents of what 1t was all
about reached them from America
they lifted their heads, they raised
their eyes to heaven when they saw
mon In khaki coming across the sea
in the spirit of crusaders. and they
found that these were strange men,
reckless of danger not only, but
reckless because they seemed to see
something that made that danger
worth while. Men have testified to
me in Europe that our men were
possessed by something that they
could only call religious fervor,

no more doubt of the verdict of
America in this matter than I3have
doubt of the blood that is in me.
And so, my fellow citizens, have
come back to report progress, and /
do not believe that the progress is
going to stop short of the goal. The
nations of the world have set their
heads now to do a great thing, and
they are not going to slacken their
purpose.
Idea Same in All Languages
1 feel about you as 1 am reminded
of story of that excellent witness
and good artist, Oliver Herford, who
one day, sitting at luncheon at his
back by a man whom he did not
know very well. He said: "Oliver,
old boy, how are you?" He looked
at him rather coldly. He said, at
don't know your name, I don't know
your face, but your manners are
very familiar" And I must say that
your manners are very familiar, and,
let me add, very delightful.
1t is great comfort, for one thing,
to realize that you all understand
the language am speaking. A friend
of mine said that to talk through an
Interpreter was like witnessing the
compound fracture of an idea. But
the beauty of it is that, whatever the
impediments of the channel of COM
munication, the idea is the same;
that it gets registered, and it gets
registered in responsive hearts and
receptive purposes.

Reading as q Narcotic.

The habit of reading for amusement
becomes with thousands of people ex-
actly the same kind Of habit as wine
drinking or opium smoking; it is like
q narcotic, something that helps to
pass the time, something that keeps
up a perpetual condition of dreaming,
something that eventually results in
destroying all capacity for thought,
giving exercise only to the surface
parts of the mind. and leaving the
deeper springs Of feeling and the high
er faculties of perception unemployed.
The result of all this reading means
nothing but a cloudiness in the mind.
That is the direct result. The indi-
rect result is that the mind has been
kept from developing itself. All de-
velopment necessarily means some
pain, and such reading as ! speak Of
has been employed unconsciously as a
means to avoid that pain, and the con-
sequence is atrophy.-Lafcadio Hearn.

THROWS POLLEN OVER BEES
Natures Use of the Mountain Laurel
Is One of Her Many Remark
able Devices.

Flop! and away go the little sta
pollen over the bee which alights upon
them. The naturalist sees here one
of the most remarkable devices in all
nature for compelling an insect to car
~ pollen. The lover of nature sees
in the mountain laurel one of the most
beautiful of the common woodland
flowers, says Edward Bigelow in
Boys Life"
The cOrolla is saucer-Shaped, with
ten little pits near the edge, and light
ly caught in each of these little pits
is the anther at the end of the elastic
flament. This natural thing seems to
grow in an unnatural manner, but do
you know of any other plant that &C.
tually grows in distorted or strained
position, or puts it's own self in an un-
comfortable and strained position
from which it is glad to be released
when the first insect comes along and
sets it loose?
The whole mechanism is like a hair
trigger. 1t is so carefully adjusted
that even slight jar will sometimes
set it loose. Shaking an entire bush
releases great numbers of these fla
ments, and flop, flop, flop they leap out
of the pits and the anthers throw their
pollen everywhere. The bee which
visits the mountain laurel must feel
that the times are prosperous, since he
is showered with golden pollen which
he carries to the next flower to fer.
tilize the seeds.

There is belief among fishermen
that herring, when caught, articu-

an escape Of air from the air bladder,

THE NEW COUNTY JAIL.

Through the kindness of the build
er, Mr.. Carroll and Mr.. w. w. John
son our party was conducted through
the new county Jail last week which is
now nearing completion. 1t is a fine
brick structure, located on the cor
ner of North George and Liberty
streets. In, appearance it adds
greatly to the Town and is a sub
stantial building. From flag staff
on top of the building is "Old Glory"
the American flag, floating in the
breeze.
The interior of the jail proper is
complete in every detail, having
every practical appliance invention
has made to meet the requirements
of the present day. 1t is absolutely
fire proof, having the walls, ceilings
and floors constructed of concrete.
1t is heated by a splendid furnace.
To speak of the cells-a prisoner will
be absolutely safe (if so unfortu-
nate as to be incarcerated therein.)
But the cells themselves are complete
each one equipped with an iron bed
and an individual toilet, also an ap-
pliance for shower baths. The Jail
is connected with the court house,
access being made by circular iron
stairway. The building is well ven
tilated and lighted by electricity. All
the painting on interior and exterior
is the work of Mr. w. w. Johnson.
The residence portion is beautiful
ly finished, with every modern con-
venience and Improvement. 1t u
now ready for occupancy and Mr.. w.

THE RED CROSS.

We believe in the Red Cross, in
its religion to love, in its effort to
put life into the churches and to has
ten the coming of the Kingdom.
Likely it will extend its powers and
usefulness, under its great central
izing board. Just here we would
make a suggestion to our County
Chapter: We notice it is the Gus
tom in other parts of the country,
particularly in the West, to plant
trees to commemorate the death of
our fallen heroes, and we think JEFF
ferson County should be equally
patriotic. We therefore suggest
that tree be planted, an oak by
preference, for every boy who gave
his life for his country, black as well
as white.
We feel assured that a suitable
piece of ground could be secured
likely the ground so generously and
periodically given for park purposes
by our distinguished successor in the
Mayorality, could be so utilized. In
passing, we might add that Charles
Town has the right to be proud of the
ability and high character of her
Chief Executive.
We respectfully refer this matter
to the ladies of the Red Cross, with
the assurance that the columns of the
Spirit will be at their service-and
our subscription rates at the usual
price. In this matter as in others,
we trust the Spirit will lead.

capable and obliging assistant, Miss
Myrtle Barr, who is going to assist
me in carrying out the order of the
Court.
The records of the Draft Board,
are, find, complete up to the date
of embarkation. Our Register Book

admonished that his duty on reaching
