Seven -year-old Joseph had been go

months and during that time had heard
several Bible stories. His mother was
boasting of his ability to relate them,
while his grandfather waited rather
iEIpatiently. He was ready to start
On a trip downtown and Joseph was
going with him.
Then all at once Joseph. too. grew

for grandfathers lingering. SO out he
shouted. Hurry up, grandpa, or We'll

FIRST WAR CRIME TRIAL.

Reports have come of the first trial of accused German war criminals. It was the case of a corporal accused of having mistreated British prisoners Tho result of the trial is not yet known. The judge was German and the trial held at Leipzig. with British officials mere onlookers.
 IL is said that the accused did not look the part He wore a black frock coat and seemed innocent enough. He denied having struck the prisoners with the butt of his rifle. It was in regard to this matter that vindictive, ness appeared.
 "If had hit the man with the butt end of my rife he would not have got up again." he said.
 The prosecution is in the hands of the German Government in accord ance with the accepted substitute for the original proposal for extradition of war criminals. It is difficult for us to believe, therefore, that the trials will result in punishment for those accused. The whole atmosphere of the court room is permeated with the Prussian idea of life, Of war. of what Is right when fighting an enemy. By tradition. by inheritance German and Prussian have imbibed the spirit of cruelty to be displayed. Even the judge may not avoida this instinctive sentiment Where can the wrong come in?" when the person punished obvious. Semblance of justice may be seen. but hopeless it seems that real justice may be done.
 This spirit-the necessity for doing anything-for going to any extremes. to carry out instructions from a Prus- sian's superior. was shown at this first. comparatively insignificant trial, in the accused's reply to a question as to whether he brought the pris- oner's refusal to work in the coal mines (which brought on the alleged ill-treatment) to his superiors.
 No" answered the accused. "I was told to make these men work. I had to do so because the Prussian sol. dier's duty is to obey orders even though he perish.''
 With court sympathizing with the creed of the accused in these trials: with the atmosphere of the German tice may be expected?

"IT MUST NOT BE AGAIN.-

''It must not be again. declared President Harding yesterday in New York City. moved by the thought of the sorrows of those who have suf- fered anguish through the war: moved by the thought of those who perished.
 "It must not be again. is echoed all through the world. The words find sympathy in millions of hearts.
 But how are we to prevent 1t?
 No standing aIoof: no petty. selfish unwiIlingness to consider others: no fear of foreign entanglements''-as the expression has been distorted out of it's original meaning-will prevent its happening again.
 The emotion which prompted our Presidents words and prayer was sim cere.
 Then let him not be blinded by those who see world affairs through the eyes of politics and self interest and prejudice. Let him advance and help this country to join other nations in seeing to it that it shall not be again.

windows that will facilitate the busi- ness to be done there.
 While these plans now under con sideration will offer an incomplete solution of the difficulty now faced of attending to the mail with ease and dispatch. the improvements planned will not have to be abandoned in case the hoped for addition to the building comes. Their adoption will mean permanent benefit, even though they will not bring all that is desired. to the building is made.
 It is quite natural that there has been a falling off in the business of the post office now when a similar condition exists in other lines of activity But the character of busi- ness transacted there is such that it is not as variable as that in other fields. In times which are not good the post office is not as busy a place as it is when there is plenty of work for everyone, but it is much buster, in comparison, than are other centers of activity.
 It is to be hoped that the bids re- ceived prove satisfactory and that the improvements may be made. It is satisfactory to feel that such inn provements. though not giving all the relief necessary, will stand when further additions are made.

When poor old Father Adam
 That day in Paradise First saw the lovely madam
 Who forthwith put him wise He had not meant to ramble,
 Or Haunt the face of fate; But Eve began to gamble,
 And Adam got the gate. When Sodom and Gomorrah
 Were burning red and hot, The home guard died in horror,
 Except the House of Lot Which promptly went and scrambled Intending not to halt; But one there was who gambled, And she was turned to salt. When Cleopatra's yeoman
 Canoed her down the Nile, She'd gamble on some Roman
 And win him with a smile. So, as the ages amble
 Where all the years have fled, We find most women gamble;
 And, more so. when they wed.

 "Guess again." retorted Dorothy.
 well, somebody came," said Louis, you're so sociable. You nope the min ute you're alone. Now, 'fess up Somebody came, didn't they?"
 "Yes." admitted Dorothy.
 "when did they leave?" asked her brother.
 "They didn't leave," replied Doro- thy.
 Louis looked all about him. The porch was empty except for Grandma, who had always lived with them, the lawn was neat and inviting but 1t as we'll as the house inside was quite devoid of company.
 'I guess you're kidding me-" he said, land if so you'd better quit or I won't give you the nice present I got you while I was in Hampden."
 ''No, honest I'm not kidding" re- piled Dorothy. Follow me and I'll show them to you"
 Louis followed with a very doubtful look on his face as his sister went around to the< back of the house and stopped at the kitchen door.
 'Humph, some kind of a pet!'' thought Louis.
 "Wait," said his guide. "I'll have to get an apple"
 She stepped brisk1y into the house and brought out an apple and knife. Then she sat down on the back step and cut tip the fruit, one-quarter she laid on one end of the last step which was of stone, and the other quarter she laid on the other end. After that she gave Louis the third quarter and began on the last one herself.
 "Here they comet Here they come!" she cried in triumph.
 Louis followed her gaze and saw some wavy feelers projecting from a crevice under the stone step. After a little hesitation the feelers came out followed by a head and a black shiny body.
 "A cricket, b'gosh!" exclaimed Louis scornfully.
 "That's the one that walks by him. self" explained Dorothy. "I found him up at the Monument one day when I walked over there with Mother and I brought him home to be with the others, but he won't associate with them. He looks different too. Ii makes him proud so I have to feed him by himself. Oh, look! Here come the others"
 Feelers appeared at the other end of the stone and soon six dusty black crickets came filing out Three ot them had white marks on their ba cks

 ''No, he's Just finding himself nice hole or crack to sit in then he'll forget that it's cold weather and sing us a little song-listeni"
 They sat still awhile and pretty soon they heard a cree-cree-creek! and Dorothy cried' in triumph: There! Isn't that pretty!"
 Let's raise these crickets and sell 'em. cricket on the hearth is good luck. and people ought to be glad to have a trained cricket to sing to them.''
 'I wouldn't sell dear old Monnie and he's the only house cricket, the others are field crickets, and don't like it indoors so much," replied Doro- thy.
