Office window" of the Daily Chronicle of London was once told a pleasing little aDecdote by Dame Agnes Weston, the friend of sial- Ors, concerning jam tarts. Some lady helper at a sailors rest had been mistaken enough to hand the sailros tratcs while they were having 8 meal. Miss Weston advis- ed that some better method should be adopted. The tracts were then placed in a pile oH the buffet coun- ter, with 8 card inscribed Please take one" A sailor with sense of fun transferreS the card to a .disn of jam tarts, and, as the rush 70 the buffet began, the servers were amazed to see sailor after sailor lift a tart and walk away, while the tracts remained in an undimin- isned pile. .-Aa

LEST WE FORGET By Bin StinRer

Let not the carping spirit Of mistaken years Put any tinge of slackness
 ID the ferTOr of your cheers When Britain's name is mentioned,
 For, by her glorious deeds, She shows the kind of spirit,
 That the Anglo saxon breeds. The flower of her manhood
 Sleeps beneath fair Frances sodr. Where braYely they fell fighting In defense of home and God Let Columbia's Sons remember
 That, through blood and Mothers
 tears, Great Britain held her trenches
 Uncomplainingly fer years. Blood calls to blood across the
 seas
 The ancient spirit lives, Ard, to our mighty answer,
 An added meaning gives The olden night has vanished,
 Dawns now tie golden day, The noble flood of British blood
 Has washed all scars away. Pc rtland Telegram,

otiu seeking to establish who or what was most important in winning the war, an ananymOus editorial writer has made an interesting and plausible case for King Edward VII ot England. The argument, there fore, looks before the event and rests on the power exerted during his lifetime by that monarch in creating the friendly feeling between Great Britain and other countries that prepared the way for genuine snG effective alliance against the designs and armed force of Ger many. And for just these acdVi- ties it is said that King Edwards s unGesirable cousin admitted being afraid of him.-Christian science ,Mobitor.

 In contrast to She braggadacto thu: has been manifest here recently let me quote the following, taken from an article written by Major General Maurice formerly chief of staff of the British army. After reviewing the military situation, he said: Il wonder how many peo- pie there are in England today who realize that our armies accomplished one ot the greatest feats Of this war, or any other. When in the darkness of the night they attacked On a 20-mile front and broke thru rle lost defenses of the Hindenburg system, it was a fitting climax to a fortnight of bitter fighting though that labyrinth of Qualifications"
 More than Q. fortnight later an honorable member asked in the house Of commons whether it was really true that the British troops were the first through the linden burg system.
 He finished by saying: Truly, we are a queer people. Any other na- ton would have been weary of sing tug the praises Of such generalship ana, valor.'
 It might be well for us to remem' Der that the first props knocked from under the triple alliance was when Bulgaria went out, fol- lowed by Turkey and Auhtria-Hun- gary. The first trio America hadn't declared war upon, and only one American regiment was opposed to the Austrians when they sued foI pac.
 Let me also quote from the New York WorlGc This fact must never be forgotten, that. when the final victory over PrussianiSm is won the triumph will be more due to the in' tervention of British sea power than to any other single factor. Il is thu fashion of certain Americans tn belittle the achievements of the British in this war, forgetting that if it hadn't been for Great Britain the war would long ago have been over and Prussianism would nave the world at it's mercy"
 Let's give the Tanks the credit that is due them put let Us not de tract from the allies, who have gone through hell for over four years the credit that is due them. Philip Gibbs, British war cor respondent in The Telegram paid his respects to the British Tommy by saying: Poor old Tommy, you have had a rough time, and you hat ed 1t, but, by the living God, you have been patient and long-suffer' ing and full of grim and silen' courage, not swanking afout the things that you have done, not car ing jot for glory, not getting muc. dash, but now you have done your ioo and done it we'll"

REMARKABLE CASE OF FEAR
illustrating How Panic Will for a

Proved Bravery.

A French lieutenant OF artillery,
Pierre Jandrop, who distinguished
himself at the battle Of Verdun and
was subsequently decorated with the
croix de guerre for bravery in rescu-

writer Of a peculiar case of fear.

Apparently the man was afraid Of
the noise, not Of death; for later he
courted II, Jandrop said, by exposing
himself TO attract the fire of the boche,
who, when he fired, would be exposed,
too.
Lieutenant Jandrop was the only
one of nine officers to survive when
an enemy shell dropped in the middle
of their breakfast table. He was
buried alive, dug out, and rushed TO

MELON HAS YELLOW CORE
Senator New, After Ten Years, Able
to Tell Wife, al Told
You &c."

~Washington.-Ten years ago Senator
Harry New happened to mention to his
wife, while they were eating water
melons, that he had once seen and
tasted watermelon with a yellow
core
Mrs. New said that all she had ever
seen were red. The senator declared
he would prove his veracity by show
ing his wife, some time, a watermelon
with yellow heart
Since that time Senator New has
been continuously on the watch. He
even tipped off his friends and they
have looked long and carefully for a
yellow melon. Recently an express
package came to the senator's home
here. 1t contained a watermelon, just
as green as any watermelon on the
outside, but when cut, the meat was
pure golden, without a streak of red.
Thanks to one Of his Hoosier friends,
the senator now says to his wife, II
