Canadian papers are commenting on
the activity of tae Japanese through
out the meritime province of Siberia.
Agents of Japanese syndicates are re-
ported to be negotiating for the pur-
chase of large number of mines,
flour mills, brickworks, sawmills and
other industrial undertakings. while
commercially they are making every
effort to extend their influence. The
Japanese firms, which for the most
part have only recently been estab-
lished at vladiyostok, are charging
their operations and endeavoring to
obtain as large share as possible Of
the trade of the territory. The scouts
of these firms are reported to be scour-

THE VOICE
BY HELENA Nj. kENNEY.
iiIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIlnIIIlIIIlIIIIIIlIIIIIIIII

The train rolled slowly out of the
station, leaving a girl standing on the
platform. Nellie Windsor was fifteen
years old. Her mother and father were
dead and she had no one but Uncle 10
and AunC Betty. Uncle 10 had written
her to come and live with him-and
here she was. II was fully ten minutes
before Uncle 10 came, and when he
die he gave her hearty kiss and lift
ed her into the buggy and or they.
went. Arriving at the farm, she found
Aunt Betty waiting on the porch for
her. and such dear old lady she was.
II was then 8 80 o'clock. and the rest
OF the afternoon was spent in unpack-
hg her clothes and learning the rounds
OF the house. After supper she went
directly to bed. because she was tired
from her long journey.
The next afternoon she wandered
around, picking flowers, chasing but
terflies, and. gathering an apron full
of apples. she went down to the little
brook. 1t was nice and cool and she
was enjoying herself when--"Hello,"
said voice. she looked up, but saw no
one.
II say. hGilo," again came the voice;
this time 1t seemed to come from the
tree that was across the brook.
"Hullo, yourself" replied Nellie.
'sWhere are your"
up here in the tree" said the voice.
"Come down." she said.
"Nope," answered the voice. No
amount OF teasing would make the
voice come down. II was getting late.
so Nellie said: 'If / come here tomor-
row will you let me see who you are?"
Maybe" replied the voice. So Nellie
scampered up the hill and home. But
she was not to see the owner OF the
voice tomorrow, for when she got up
the NEXT morning. 1t was raining.
Uncle 10 came in at dinner time
with an Invitation for Nellie to spend
the afternoon with the Browns, who
lived across the field. Slowly she went
upstairs to dress, sorry because she

YALE GETS WEBsTER,s HOUSE
Historic Building at New Haven Has
Recently Become the Property
Of the University.

In purchasing and caking posses
sion Of the famous Noah Webster
house, Yale university has come into
possession of one of the oldest and
perhaps the most historical building
In New Haven.
When the venerable photographer
wrote the dictionary a century ago.
he never dreamed that the home in
which he performed mis- literary
labors would prove the quarters of
United States troops In the greatest
Of world wars. Yet that was the
destiny Of the plain wooden building.
The university turned 1t over to the
studetn Army Training corps and 1t
was occupied by soldiers till the final
rehabilitation.
It was the home of Webster while
he resided In The city, although part
Of his dictionary was written at Am
herst. Mass. He was one of Yale's
most famous professors. his work
ranking in world value with that o.
his fellow professors, Samuel E. B.
Morse aud Eli Whitney.
The home stands at the corner Of
Grove and Temple streets and was
formerly the property of CORTLAND T.
Trowbridge. a relative of the lexicog-
rapher. The university has acquired
it because Of its scheme to ill the
square bounded By Wall. Temple,
Grove and College streets with dormi-
tories for the Sheffield Scientific
school. The entire group, IT is expect
ed will be given by Frederick w. Van
derbilt of New York city, a graduate
Of the class Of TO He already has
given two large dormitorles.

could not go down to the brook, but
maybe it would be there some other
time; so with this happy thought In
mind she was soon ready, and Uncle
10 took her over to the Browns. She
was rather shy, being among strangers,
but Mrs. Brown soon put her at ease.
Molly Brown was Nellie's age, and
they took TO each other right away.
While they were sitting, talking about
nothing in particular, the doorbell
rang and Molly's mother went and adj
mitted FIVE young people who had come
to spend the afternoon. Soon boy
about year older than herself came
In and was introduced as Billy Brown.
What a good time she had, and what
nice girls and boys they werel But
Billy-where had she heard that voice?
The afternoon passed all too quickly,
and when the guests rose to go, Mrs.
Brown shook hands with them all, and
so did Molly and Billy. When Nellie
arrived home she could not help think
ing what nice boy Billy was, and
she blushed when she thought how he
had given her hand tiny, unneces-
sary squeeze.
The days that followed were the
happiest ones she had ever had. Long
rambles with Molly and the Tucker
twins, picnics, and often she would
go for long walks with Billy. She
liked Billy very much and Billy liked
Nellie. But she did not forget the
voice. Every day she would go down
TO the brook and talk and talk with it.
she would tell il of the nice times she
was having. and went so far as to tell
II OF Billy. Thus two weeks passed
on end Nellie thought she was never
going to see the voice, when one day
the voice told her that she would see
II tomorrow, sure. To be sure. Nellie
was there at the appointed time, and
the voice said: IF CO ne down. Will
YOU promise to give me enc thing"
Wondering what 1t could be, but Gu
rious TO see the voice, as she had cali
ed il. she readily said. "Yes-" II slid
down the tree and there stood-Billy
"You-you-g" she gasped. Billy
smiled and said, "Your promise" She
was so surprised she did net know
what to say. AT length she said, what

"a kiss" he replied.

HAD THE LAUGH ON Coolies
Soldiers Humorous Explanation OF
Why He Was Wearing Such
"Giddy Lingerie"

Life on the front had its whlmsicali-
ties at times in spite of rolling bar
RACES, the hail of bullets, the jangle of
eaissons and the whining of truck
motors. Lieut.. Harry B. Henderson
tells of a beautiful red rose on his
camp table, in letter to the Wyoming
State Tribune, beside an Austrian
shell with bit of scenery painted on
1t, which served as a paper-weight.
Then there are incidents that excite
the "risibIes" and afford needed di-
version to the mind. Fer instance:
"The other day they were keeping
us bit busy and had my ear on top
Of my head all the time deciding on
each 'whiz' as 1t approached. Just in
the hottest part of it. one Of my gun
ners came tearing down a rutty road.
clad In a Prince Isaac coat he'd found
In raid and wearing a Boche cap.
He was pushing baby-buggy full OF
potatoes and dynamite which he
thought could use. We had the eat
ables for lunch and then blasted a new
dugOut with the explosive. You can't
imagine how you laugh when you've
been a bit under q strain for several
days OF firing, and then see something
funny. But for my sense of the prOprie-
ties I'd describe the giddy lingerie the
young man was using for underwear.
He explained to me that coolies get so
tired of wandering through lace !'--

Be a PHILOSOPHER.

II you can't have what you want,

Curious Coincidence.

The news of Germany's surrender
came midway between Sunday night
and Monday morning. 1t was on a
Sunday morning that the world heard
of Germany's declaration of war
against Russia. Serbia's answer TO
Austria's ultimatum came the pre- dous
Sunday. 1t was on Sunday me ring
that we got the news of the firing OF
the first gun of our Civil war and 1t
was on Sunday that Lee surrendered
at Appomattox. Later on. the frst
tidings OF the sinking Of Cervera's fleet
at Santiago came on Sunday morning.

BEER REVOL IS
GROWING IN BRITAIN

Z LONDON, Aug. 1O-If there are
any serious disturbances in England
during the next few months, It will
be due to beer--or lack Of it. So
say British labor leaders.
W. A. Appleton, secretary Of the
General Federation Of Trade Unions.
and one OF the most moderate Of
British laborites, declared: The
beer shortage is one Of the chief
causes. of unrest, particularly in dis
tricts where the work is arduous. The
workers feel that they are being
treated like children by a govern
ment which seems to be trying to en-
! force temperance by regulation. They
also feel strongly. that the govern
mept is helping the brewers and dis

The trouble arises over the action

the gravity of all beer brewed in

Of 1915 when drastic restrictions
were admittedly necessitated by war
demands on labor and food supplies.
