REAL SECRET OF THE CZECH
Enthusiasm In Everything ls One Of
the Most Prominent Of His
Characteristics.

II you ask the Czech himself, he will
tell you that the secret of his life is
enthusiasm. He calls 1t love--love Of
country, which lays down life without
question or stint; love Of beauty,
without which he considers life stupid,
neither to be lived through with Joy
nor departed from with dignity. In
this esthetic apprehension which we
call by the thin and unsatisfactory
word taste" the Czech is like the
French-surely he must be likened
sooner or later to the French bear
Ing the mark of a race old In living,
rich in tradition, discerning in Its APP
precautions. He is, too, lover of
love. worshiping women; a lover of
life, more Joyous than the Russian,
less light minded than the Gaul. A
lover not Of the form, but of the sub
stance. Life IL short; youth is short.
1t is to laugh, to work, to weep, to
think, to love, to be aware Of that com
pick and everchanging stream Of con-
sciousnsss. When a Czech dies, some
how one feels that one may say of
him what may not be said Of every
maB, HE is dead, but he has lived"
If you ask the American he will tell
you that the Czech's secret is "Allied
ideals with Teuton training" 1t is
his efficiency that endears him to the
American, especially II he Is recuper-
ntlnR from the Russian army.-Oliye

DOG ALWAYS MANS FRIEND
Fact 10 About the Best Compliment
That Has Been Paid to the
Human Race.

Who can look on the pictures Of a
good dog without thrillf What
memories Of pleasant excursions afield,
Of purple dawns on upland pastures,
the pungent scent Of fallen leaves, the
golden glow of autumn sunsets and
soft, cool winds, a picture by that
master Of all animal painters, osthaus,
brings to mind. From the dim and
shadowy past, when man himself had
risen little above the brute creation,
the dog was his chosen friend and COM
panion. That Is the best compliment
that man ever received, or ever will
receive. A man that a dog likes IL a
man that human beings can like, and
as a corollary the man that Ilkes q
dog is a man worth knowing.
Every dog cannot be a champion.
Neither can every man be president,
but he can be just as good man, and
so a dog without championship hon
ors, be he faithful and honest, is as
good a friend and as well worth hav-
ing as the bench or the field winner,
says a writer In Forest and Stream.
If you are fortunate to hold the af-
fectlon Of friend like this, you are
indeed to be envied, for you have
passed a test based on an honest de-
duction.

End Of Fighting oaIIeys.

In the sixteenth century European
civilization was menaced by the Turks.
Moslem pirates were the peril of the
seas. of which they were fast gaining
control. This danger was averted and
destroyed by Don Juan, commander Of
the Spanish feet, and his allies, the
Italian squadrons and the Venetian
and Neapolitan fleets. at a naval battle
with the Turks In the bay Of Lepanta.
The capture Of the enemy's flagship,
after the battle had ragged an hour
and q half, gave Don Juan assurance
Of victory, so he hoisted the consecrat-
ed banner Of the Holy league at the
mast Of the conquered galley, where
It could be seen both by friend and
enemy. The result was as Don Juan
xpscted-exultation on the part OF
the Christians and depression and dis
couragement on the part of the Turks.
After heavy loss on both sides the
Turkish armada was destroyed and
Don Juan and his galley, the Reale,
were the masters Of the Meditsrra-
mean. Civilization was saved and the
Reale became q ship Of destiny. But
at Lepanto was sung the swan song
of the galley; henceforth the sailing
vessels with their wlnd-tossed can
vases were to rule the seas.

NATION OWES MORRIS MUCH
Flnaneler's Services TO the Cause Of
American Independence Should
Never Be Forgotten.

Robert Morris was the financier Of
the American revolution, a whole LIB
erty loan" In himself. He carried the
colonlsts through their struggle for In
dependence by handling such funds as
the country possessed at the time, but
for the most part through his own pri-
vate credit, which was greater than
that Of his country. Yet after this UNI
precedented service to his country he
was thrown Into the debtors prison
for three years (from 1709 to 1900.
He was born on January 20, say some
authoritles-Others on January 81,
1874, at Liverpool, and died In Phila-
delphia May Z, 1906. He arrived in
America when thirteen years old, en-
tered u mercantile house and devel-
Oped a genius for finance. In 1764 he
became member of prosperous firm
known as Willing, Morris 4 Co. Dur
ing the conflict with the mother coun-
try he gave all his time and money to
help the colonists. Out of his own
means he transferred Washlngton's
army from Dobbs Ferry to Yorktown
In 1881. That same year he estab-
lished the Bank Of North America
the first bank In the United States
with q national character. He was
one of the signers Of the Declaration
of Independence, and was member
Of the Continental congress until 177S,
after which he went into the legisla-
ture, serving during several terms,
when he became the superintendent of
finance from 1881 to 1884. He was
also head of the navy department
from 1881 to 1884. At one time he
owned half Of the state Of New York
and MILLIONS Of acres In other states,
but the slow development In values
and the failure Of the Bank Of London,
In which he had funds, caused his
bankruptcy. At the time Of his failure
he was building n palatial home In
Philadelphia, which was never nm
ished, and many Of the workmen were
paid off by giving them portions Of the
architecture, which they sold later or
built into less pretShHous homes.

ing In stone have been bought Up and

rena down at the Biltmore.
"0f course, know you're frightful-

be able to send up to her father. She
called up softly and told Jane to pre-
pare a dainty luncheon, for fear Of an
unexpected guest. He would never
know II he were going out West at
once.
Then suddenly the outer stormdoors
swung wide and she knew at first
glance 1t was Sir Wilfred. He was
very tall and blond, with humorous
brown eyes and a smile that countered
any antagonism.
He was terribly sorry Miss Baxter

GUARD FORESTS FROM FIRE
Women Do Efficient Work In Lonely
Positions on Lofty Psaks Of
Western Mountains.

To the credltable list Of occupations
In which women have proved efficient
and faithful, may be added that Of
serving as observers in lookout posts
on the peaks Of western mountains
and hills, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. From these lonely points
Of vantage watch Is constantly kept
for forest fires In the region round
about. Because Of the scarcity Of
available men during the war, this
work was performed largely by WON
en- and girls, many OF the latter being
Of hlgh-school age who were glad of an
opportunity to spend summer vaca-
ton In the open. Usually the girls
manned" the posts 10 pairs, but In
one instance lone girl and her faith
full dog were on duty. Whenever
smoke was seen rising among the
trees It was the task Of the watcher
to calculate the location Of the fire
by means Of special apparatus pro
vlded for the purpose, and then com
mpnicate at once by telephone to the
forest rangers, who would hurry out
prepared to fight the flames.

USES FOR HORNS IN CHINA
Pills and Marvellous Tonlcs Are
Among tho Many Things Manu-
featured From Them.

Water buffalo and OK horns in China
are worked into lanterns, some Of
strikingly large size and quite trans
parent, says a writer In the Boston
Evening Transcript. They also find
many other uses in China, including
the manufacture of combs, shoe horns
and backs Of hair, tooth and other
brushes. Prior to the antioplum cam
paign the principal use made of these
horns was in the manufacture of
opium cups or boxes for packing and
storing opium for home consumption.
Horn lanterns in China are made from
the hoofs as well as the horns Of ami
mails. Deer, reindeer and mountain
goat horns are valuable in China for
manufacture into medicine. Stag
horns are particularly valuable, but
useful only during a certain time of
the year. From the stag horns pills
are made that are reputed to have
marvellous tonic and rejuvenating
qualities. About a million pounds of
water buffalo and OK horns and a
thousand pairs Of deer horns were ex-
ported during 1917, the latter prob
ably for the medicinal use of Chinese
populations abroad. Ivory ware is pc
culiar to Canton. Tusks are imported
from Slam and carved with great skill
and dexterity by the ivory carvers Of

Canton is famous for It's deliberately

We who think Of Burma as in India
must modify our ideas considerably.
As q matter Of fact II lies outside the
Indian region, and owes its connection
mainly to its recent history, for as
will be recalled Burma was conquered
at the expense Of India, and In a great
measure by the Indians who assisted
in garrisonlng, policing and construct
ing its public works. without this aid
Burma's annexation and government
would have been exceedingly dlffcult,
for back In the hills Of the Irrawaddy
valley basin there are still wild tribes
scarcely emerged from conditions Of
savagery, whose chief aim in life until
recently was the practice Of inter
tribal conflicts and head-hunting. II Is
to these people the Burmese are con
nected by racial afinitles though the
former have developed amazingly I'M
der the influences OF civilization, a
standard which Is high according TO
the Aslatic code. As result, the hill
tribes are sparse today, and Burmese
civilization Is on the increase through.
