Marshal Foch in
Crushing Defeat
G9g agagaH M1Ga EEL aHHH

PARIS, Jan. 2G.-Marshal Foch, |
whose strategy COMPOUNDED the Germans,
suffered crushing defeat the other day. |
President AIillerand of France shared the
blame, for they were partners.
1t was not at war bur az dominoes. The
American ambassador, Hugh c. Wallace, |
and former President Poincare triumphed
over the great mars1a1 ana France
chief executive. The incident IS related
by writer of the Cri de Paris in the
best of French journalistic style, sub
stantially as follows:
The presidential train carrying high
personages Of France and other nations
to Nerdun to attend the dedication of the
monument marking the Bayonet Trench
had been under way for an hour and CON
versation had begun to lag.
If we had a game OF dOmInoes eX-
claimed Marshal Foch.
Alas the box of dominOes of the
Elysee had been forgotten and there were
no domlnOeS in the restaurant.
We must get some for the return
journey" declared NJ. Alillerand. who en-
trusted this important mission TO his
son, Jean. ~-=-
When after the ceremony, they rejoined
| the train for the return journey a magniti-
| cent box of dominoeS was spread out on
| the table of the SalOon-car. 1T had been
| borrowed from a colonel of the gen
! udflntfle.
| Two camps were Immediately formed.
| The president had the marshal for part
ner. Their adversaries were NJ. Poincare
| and Hugh G. Wallace. Are we strong
enough NJ Poincare asked the ambas-
sador The president and the marshal
are crack players
I'VE, too, l hope" replied Mr. Wal
lace, smiling.
HIM - questioned NJ. Poincare. You
certainly"
The first game began. 1t went in favor
of VI. Aiillerand and Marshal Foch.
Il knew it," sighed NJ. Poincare.
Let us see how it goes in the second
game" responded Mr.. Wallace. 'Never
despair
The second game commenced. 1t was
a surprise. The POincare-Wallace side
gained a sweeping victory over the Mil
lerand-Foch side.
Let us have a revenge" the marshal
declared impetuously. We cannot. Mr..
| President, allow ourselves such a de
feat"
The revenge was palpitating, but in the
end the game. which for a long time
swayed in the balance, pronounced itself
in favor of NJ. POincare and Wallace.
Well. Mr.. Marshal, you are beaten.
II NJ. Millerand said
1t seems to me, Mr.. President that YOU
are, too" rojOined the marshal But
what adversares, Mr.. Poihcare plays
very well and the ambassador is a cham
pion player"

Former New England Woman
Making Home in California

From her home at 272S East Colorado
street, Lamanda Park, California. Mrs
+. A. Leonard, who has many friends
throughout New England writes an in
teresting letter regarding her experiences
with pain. Ia her letter she ordered one
dozen bottles. of Mysterious Pain Ease,
so-called, and says: Il have used it in
the East and l feel / cannot be without
it. l have a friend who has 4 lame
knee. / put some Mysterious Pain Ease
on it two or three times. She was so
much better from this that we want
plenty of Mysterious Pain Ease on hand.
1t is the most valuable hniment / ever
used"
This Mysterious Pain Ease mentioned
in Mrs. Ieonard's letter is a Scotch Lin
iment. Tt acts in such way that it
relieves Inflammation which causes pain.
In fact when they first started to use it,
its effects were so quick in the relief of
pain that people really thought there
was something mysterious about it.
Hence its name, given it by the thous-
ands of people whose pains it has re-
lieved
Many people, both men and women,
i'm all walks of life, heartily endorse it.
They recommend it for pains of neural
gia. neuritis, sciatica, muscle cramps,
chilblains. and pains arising from in
fammations. rheumatism, sprains of all
kinds. lumbago, burns, stiff neck, and
muscular colds where the shoulders,
chest and back muscles are in pain.
MYSTERIOUS Pain Ease is sold by most
leading druggists. Any druggist can OBJ
tain it from his jobber.-Ady.

Flowers EXPRESS Hone.

There are three flowers which send
out the message of hope, remarks the
Detroit News. One is the Towering al
mond and the others are the haw
thorn and snowdrop. The Towering
almond is a little shrub which grows
from two to three feet In height and
blooms IN May. The color Of the flow
er is pinkish white. The petals$are
small and numerous, like the daisy or
the chrysanthemum. The hawthorn is
generally white, rose colored or some
times deep crimson. 1t bears a small
fruit with a yellow pulp. The leaf is
similar TO that Of the oak and is cup
shaped and spreads as 1t becomes ma
ture. The hawthorn is often called
May" from the season Of blooming in
England, and it is also called white
thorn to distinguish it from the sloe,
or blaCkthorn. The snowdrop is so
called from the color of the flower.
The root of the snowdrop produces
two leaves and one single flower, which
is bell shaped, and hangs like a bell
or the Dutchman's breeches.

cannlbaIs, Odd pueIlnu Custom.

The Pangwes, a cannibal tribe OF
Africa, had an odd way of settling
disputes with neighboring tribes.
When they wished to settle a point
they sent word to the tribe with
which they had dispute. and the tribe
selected 20 men, the Pangwes a SIM
liar number. These constituted the
'armies" that were TO settle the dis
pute. Both armies" then repaired
to an island in the river, set their
canoes adrift, completely cutting them
selves off from any assistance, and
went to it. They hunted each other
down through the trees and fought
until all but one man was killed. The
tribe TO which this sole survivor be-
longed was the victor, and to 1t be-
longed all the dead on the island. The
victorious tribe then carried off the
dead, friend and foe alike, and Toasted
for eight or ten days.

Insects Not 'ProhIbitlonlsts.

There are no prohibi.ionists among
the insects, says correspondent. Hun
dreds of wasps were recently observed
among the fir trees of Keston lake
crawling e9gery over spindIes and
sucking at drops of turpentine which
form at this time of year. A vast
humming came from the trees, reminis-
cent of the midsummer ring over the
heated hay fields. Large flies and
blue-bOttles were also seen. In many
cases the insects consumed so much
of the firewater that they fell to the
ground in a drunkea stupor. or chung
hazardIy to the trees. The wolf
spider chasing it's prey through the
grass like a dog was having a rich
harvest. Other insects came to the
bacchanalian repast. A species of
aphis was much in evidence aud also
its keeper, the ant. busy milking it of
its gathered liquor.

THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MAILOCH
DOWN GRADE.

YES, boy I know-yOu do not
4 think;
You only hear the glasses elink
And feel the bogus joy of drink.
Life looks all summer through glass;
The whisky road is green with grass
But life and summer both will pass.
It's easy now to drink or not,
To drink little or a lot;
But after all your drinking. what?
May it not happen ere the grave
The thing you laugh at you will
crave?-
The master will become the slave?
God have seen them: Boys like you,
The frolickers of fighting crew,
Who never thought and never knew.
Who took the road that dips and
CLEANS,
That runs ahead of singing streams
CYet somehow never downward
seems).
With this same foolish passion played.
The same old merry journey made,
Who took the road of easy grade
Till night came on, till sank the sun,
Till shadows gathered one by one
Around the path, and day was done.
Twas then they turned; but now the
hill
Was high behind them. and the rll
Within the valley dark and still
Around, the level of the plain
Above, rocky path of pain
To climb, if they would rise again
I am no preacher called to preach;
l am no teacher fit to teach
You younger men of better speech.
Yet l have walked the merry road
Where laughing rivers downward
flowed
And climbed again with all the load.
With all the load man acquires
Who follows after his desires
Until he finds his lusts are liars,
Until he finds, as find he viii,
The peace, the JOY his age to fill
He left behind him on the hill.
Ny preaching is not perfect, Jack;
Yet truth, at least. it does not lack
For have been there boy, and back.

OhIonu Trees.

In the school OF forestry, at Cam
bridge. there exists wonderful speci-
men Of an oblong tree. The trunk
is about 80 by 2 inches. Its Curl
Gus shape is due TO no more than "a
little bruise or two which persuaded
it to grow in one direction and not at
all in any other. Other discoveries
and experiments prove that an artistic
bruise-it may be no more violent than
strong pressure with the finger tips
can make a tree expand in desired
direction.
