An amusing verbal war has arisen
over the propriety. meaning and ex-
tent of the French phrase 'mon Dieu !"
No two interpreters appear to be able
TO agree. The phrase in English would
be my Godw but the shades Of assoc
citation connected with the French
form and with the English form differ
81 broadly that exactly equivalent ex-
lpressions and usages of the phrase are
difficult to reach. In French 1t may
be an innocent exclamation, but in
English-speaklng lands it may be fat
blasphemy. The variance seems to
spring from the varying religious ex-
periences of France and England
after the Protestant reformation. In
medieval Europe the presence and ne
sion of God in the religious plays hab-
ituated the populace to speak of him
quite Familiarity, and the sense Of rev.
erence for his name grew faint. In
England, however, on account OF the
influence of Purltanism and then OF
AfethodIsm, great reverence for his
name arose, and use Of the term my
God!" became distasteful to line ma
lures. But "mon Dleul' somehow

Mrs. M. s. Davis, 1907
10th Ave-, N. Nashville,
Tenn, writes:

the world hung in the trembling bal
ance as the struggle ragged.
1--WE saw few black dots break
from the guard and struggle down the
hill; then al dark blot on the hillside:
then the guard reeled and its whole
great mass came staggering down. All
is lost--the guard recoils." So spoke
the historians who watched at Water
loo
So 1t was at Chateau-Thierry. First
a few gray dots broke from the far
side of the wood; then more and more (.
then, panic stricken, Keeling, whipped.
the Prussian guard came madly out
and onward and away. The guard re-
coiIedr-the day was lost-Germany
was lost--the empire Of the world was
lost.
When the guard breaks, the doom
OF any king is sealed. 1t was so three
thousand years ago, and what may be
the last tale Of the wreckage of an
Imperial guard is but the final conflr.
nation of the old, old story.

Fierce was the fighting on Arbela's

through the ages-and the last chap

Down through the ravaged fields Of
