THOSE OPEN WINDOW CRANKS.
Writer ciyes Il as His Opinion That
They Are Actuated Solely by
SeIfishness.

One of the most pronounced nuis-
ances with which seasoned travellers on
railroad trains have to contend is the
"open-window crank" This fellow
for he is usually male instead of a
female persists in having his window
open, no matter whether other Occu-
pants of the car dislike it or not; and
it usually results in the other passen-
gers thereabout receiving liberal sup
ply of dust and fine cinders, as we'll
as enough soft coal smoke to last them
the remainder of their lives. These
open-WindOW crankS are almost always
occasional travellers. 1t is noticed by
those who have taken the pains to OBJ
serve that the regular traveler-that
is, the man who rides every day in
summer-neve opens the window be-
side the seat in which he is riding. It
does not mean any more comfort for
him to do so, as he long ago discoy.
cred, but much discomfort instead.
AS soon as a railroad car starts to
move there is more or less air stirring
and if the open-window cranks would
only compose themselves few mo-
ments they would be far more COM
Portable than they would to breathe
coal dust, smoke and cinders. But the
average occasional traveller will push
up his window as soon as he enters the
car.
1t makes no difference to him how
much the rest Of the car suffers he is
the only one to be considered. 1t is a
practice that causes great discomfort
to passengers who have the necessary
sense to know that everybody is better
off if the windows are closed on hot
days. And it is always noticed that
these open-window artists invariably
leave the window open when they de-
part. The first, last and only thought
is for themselves one else counts.

Ewes Show Character.

Eyes without color, prominent, with
very small pupil, show cold, mer-
cenary nature, narrow and superb
cial mind. Blue eyes tend toward a
nature inclined to be in the clouds one
day and in the depths the next, while
gray eyes indicate calm, cool calcula-
ton and self-control; if with large pu-
pil, keen sensibilities and fine intel
lect. Brown eyes, on the other hand,
express sanguine temper; when the
rims of the lower eyelids are red, they
show much of uncontrolled temper.

Don't Be a Dry Pump.

Some men give so little you are an
CRY every time you ask them to con-
tribute. They give so that their gold
and silver shoot you like bullet. 9th
err persons give with such beauty, you
remember it as long as you live. There
are some that give as springs do,
whether you go to them or not, they
are always full, and your part is mere
" to put your dish under the ever
flowing stream. Others give as a
pump does, where the well is dry and
the pump leaks.

CHAPTER XXI.
"The Hell Hole Of Germany

lttC TIL s'SSiS ~ <~Si tttesAy y
On arriving at BrandenbuTg we were
marched the three or four miles north
west to the camp. While we were be-
ing marched through the streets a
woman walked alongside Of us for
quite a way, talking to the boys in
English and asking them about the
war. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed.
She said she was an Englishwoman
from Liverpool and that at the OUT
break of the war not being able to
get out Of Germany, she and her chill

dren had been put in prison and that
every day for oyerya week they had
put her through the third degree; thar
her children had been separated from
her and that she did not know where
they were.
She walked along with us for several
blocks until a sentry heard her say
something not very complimentary to
the. Germans and chased her away.
When we arrived at the camp we were
put into the receiving barracks and
kept there six days. The condition Of
these barracks was not such that you
could describe it. The floors were ac-
tual1y nothing but filth. Very few Of
the hunks remained; the rest had been
torn down-for fuel, suppose.

Winnipeg's Growth.

Prior to 1870 Winnipeg was nothing
more than a chief trading post Of the
Hudson Bay company, whose head
quarters were at Fort Garry Greeted
in 1885, on ground now included in
the city. The first house Of the ham,
let was built in 1860. The city was In
corporated in 1873, and its growth
since has been marvellous. The area
of the city by 1912 was 12,70O acres.
The population in 1870 was 300; in
1916 it was 162,999.

world, but the boche is entitled to
just the same degree of sympathy that
the world accords to any other Grim
inal. We feed and clothe the Grim
inal that he may live to expiate his
crime, and we will feed and clothe the
German people that they may live to
expiate their crime, and that after
they have done that they may again
be entitled to the place in the worlds
civilization that only those who are
cleansed may occupy. Germany is en-
titled to nothing more than this, and
this is fair play.

ANY Demand Not Toe Great.

I am sure know the desire Of the
American people for fair play in all
things, including the settlement with
Germany. They would not wish to do
the German people an injustice in the
demand for PREPARATION. AS rode mile
after mile over the devastated fields
Of Belgium and northern France, as /
passed through town after town that
had been destroyed because of mad
craze for loot and world domination,
I felt that could the American people
but see the things I was seeing, they
would feel, as i felt. that any demand
that might be made could not be I'M
fair. Could they have seen the ruins
Of the beautiful cities of Ypres, Ar
mentieres, La Bassee, Peronne, st.
Quentin, Noyon. Lens and many hum
dreds of others, they, too, would
say with one voice: Germany must

girls with German babies. Money will
not pay for these things, but money
and work can in some small degree
pay for the wrecked factories and ru.
ined business of the city of Lille, and
through the payment of this money
and labor the people of Germany will
learn that might is not right, and that
war for the purpose. of gratifying a
selfish ambition is not profitable.
Why Lille Was Not Destroyed.
The German retreat from Lille came
near the close of the war when the
Germans knew they were beaten and
they would have to pay, and for that.
reason the city itself was not de-
stroyed. But the fact that it was not
destroyed is but another evidence Of
German selfshness rather than of vir-
tue.
There are hundreds of cities and
towns that have been destroyed after
being looted as Lille was looted; hum
dreds Of towns where even the mate
rial of which they were built has been
carried away that it might be used in
the construction of Notifications be-
hind which the German army might
defend itself and it's ill-gotten gains.
For all of these Germany should pay
now, and for generations to come.
No sympathetic pardon board should
sit on Germany's case. No sentiments
alist should have voice In deciding
her punishment. There is no more,
if as much, reason for leniency in fix
ing the punishment of Germany than
there would be for leniency in fixing the
punishment of the ruthless slayer of
your son or your daughter. Germany
must pay all that the present and flu
ture generations can pay, and she will
even then have expiated her crime only
in a small degree.

how Lieut.. Stevenson died:
St. Jammes, France.
December 18th, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Stevenson:
Your letter written on November
18th was received a few days after
I mailed my letter to you.
You asked me how Steve met his
death, and if instantly. I was hurt
before he was, so I did not see him,
but from what I can learn through
the boys who saw him, is that he was
killed instantly from a shell that
exploded few feet away from him,
but they say that they didn't see any
marks at all on him from any frag.

HEARTS MADE HAPPY.

For many years before her death
it had been the custom Of Miss Ma.
mie Lou Smith, assisted by some Of
the other ladies in Abbeville, to 80
licit contributions from some Of the
merchants and others who were in
terested and cared to contribute, fol-
"baga of goodies" to be given to the
people at the Poor House, during the
week between Christmas and New
Years day. These bags were taken
out By these folks and one had only
to ego along" and see the joy Of
each recipient to know how much
cheer and happiness it gives and how
appreciativs they are, for they look
forward to this treat from year to
year.

tie Of charity has fallen upon he1

person. Those who contributed tt
these bags can not dream Of the
pleasure they gave to those who have

though he was killed from the con-
cussion of the shell as it hit so near
him.
This was on October 9th, and near
a small town called Braucourt, about
ten miles east of Bellicourt, and
he was buried between these two
places near a small town called
Montbrehain.
I certainly appreciate your invi-

sure you that nothing will give me
more pleasure than to visit the fam
lily of my best friend, whom I loved
and admired so much, and 1 hope to
see you as soon as possible on our
return.
We are still at loss as to when
we will be sent home, but each day
looks more favorable for an early
departure to the states, and since it
is all over we are very anxious to
60 home.
If can be of any service to you
in any way, I hope you will never
fail to call on me.
Hoping that you are enjoying the
best Of health, and with my best re-
CARDS to all the family, beg to re-
main.
Yours very truly,
