 LONDON, Nov -Fjcld-Marshal Sir William Robertson, in a recent interview printed in the London Ex- press, added the weight of his per sonal knowledge to the defense of the late Lord Kitcheuer's reputation as soldier. which has been yigor- ously upheld by the newspaper.

A SENSE OF HUMOR

"Many of those who worked side by side with him knew little of his real character; it will be realized. therefore, how little it was known to the public. Kitchener was man who above all things. did not wear his heart on his sleeve. And vet there were those in whose presence he readily threw aside his reserve and adopted the friendlicst manner. There were those with whom he was not merely on the happiest terms of friendship, but in whose company he revealed the fact that he was far from lacking in a sense of humor. K. of K could not merely enjoy joke-he could make one. The idea of this great soldier being cold. saturnine sphenix is wholly mistaken.
 With regard to the controversy which was ragged round Kitchener's name. it must be remembered that the soldier and the politician are different individuals, different in training, in perspective and in meth od. A soldier is seldom a grea de batter. and allowances must be made on both sides. The politicians did not always realize the difficulties of the war from the military stand point The soldiers at the council board may have failed sufficiently to consider the war in all it's national bearings.
 "Thi- difference of outlook was the natural outcome of circumstances then obtaining. Not only was the war colossal and without precedent
 in its magnitude but its various phases were colossal. while at the outset the situation was aggravated by lack of preparedness.

ticed something peculiar about the
appearance of a small but valuable
painting of the Madonna and Holy
Child, by Francesca de Baibolini, of
the Fifteenth century, hanging in one
of the rooms. A closer inspection dis
closed the fact that the painting was
not there at all, only a cleverly col
ored photograph of it. Someone had
stolen the painting and left the
counterfeit to cover up the theft I'M
til an ample getaway could be made
The theft of this painting caused
almost as great stir in European
circles as did that of the Mona Lisa
from the Louvre, some years ago.
A few weeks ago, Captain Pierre
TozZi, a distinguished Italian artist
and war hero, while visiting in New
York city, was told by a friend of an
exquisite little painting of a Madonna
which the latter had been shown by
the proprietor of a small Italian res
taurant in that city. Captain TozzI,
remembered the stolen picture of the
Bologna gallery, his curiosity was
aroused. He visited the restaurant
frequently and succeeded in making
friends with the proprietor.
Finally the subject of the painting
was preached, and Tozzi was allowed
to look at the picture. Wonder of Won
ders, it was the stolen Baibolini Ma
donna! The restaurant keeper stated
that SICK ana apparently destitute
man had applied to him for food and
shelter about a year before. The.
stranger was taken care of and when
restored to health had given this pic
ture to his benefactor in lieu of money
that he did not possess. When re-
ceived it was wrapped up in a New
York newspaper of date shortly
after that on which the paintings dis
appearance was detected.
Captain Tozzi induced the restau-
rant keeper to part with it for two
or three hundred dollars, and then re-
ported his find to the Italian consul
Eventually the picture was identified
beyond shadow of doubt.

the picture will probably be exhibited
in New York. Steps to that effect are
being taken now. Like many paint
ings of the early fifteenth century, the
picture is painted on a thick wooden
board.
There are two other Madonnas by
Baibolini in New York City. One
forms part OF the Pierpont Morgan
collection, and the other is in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.

ago.
Yes, anyone who thinks high school
closes at 2:45 would speedily change
his mind if he stayed around after
hours.
The 2:45 bell has just rung; lock-
erS are being ratified students are
crowding the halls in their rush from
school. But around the annual edi-
crowd. instead of diminishing, grows
larger. The different assistant editors
saunter into the room. They ask Tom
Thomas what they shall do. He
promptly, gives them a job, but finds
little later that they never even at
tempted the task he gave them. When
he thinks of something of great i'm
portance, which must be done, Tom
looks all around the room but these
obliging helpers have gone. They all
have the faculty of being present
when they are in the way and being
absent when needed So the hard
worked editor must do the job him
self.
Soon an associate editor Ieisurely
walks in Tom asks, John, is your
material in YETI" (The time scheduled
for 1t to come in was a week earlier.)
A negative answer causes the editor
one look All he says is, For heav-
ems sake, get to work" So the asso-
ciate editor goes to work, and turns
in material which can never be used.
Thus life goes on every evening in
the annual advisers room. The edi-
tors are constantly interrupted by
some of the associate editors or by in
quisitive outsiders who want to know
ifthere's a snapshot of me in the an
nual. As each afternoon speeds on,
the crowd slowly disappears. When
the bell rings at five for all to leave
the building, the editor. his assistants
and Miss Ansel are just getting to
work.

Other equally beautiful pictures,
but ones that do not lend themselves
to newspaper reproduction are In

Outside the closed door stood an

Being Cashier.

OF all joys there's none like making
change in the high school cafeteria.
At first there is little for the cashier to
do, for the students are busy de-
molishing the eats, but this reign of
ease does not last long. Suddenly
there comes a mad rush for the next
hour class. Thereupon the cashiers
window becomes a famous bowling
alley.
Some folks are especially absent
minded; they bring their dishes to the
cashier, they present the cashier with
a dime for a 25 cent check, and they
lose their checks and have to look
among powder puffs and rouge cans
for them.
The cashiers opinion of such actions
may be fifty expressed by this strain
from the ancient minstrel:
THE lowing herd raves madly Ger
the lea
