A Cornish handbook recently pub

distinct varieties Of fairies in Corn

posed to be the pref Christian inhab-

The "Spriggans," attached to cairns,
cromlechs and other ancient monu-
ments, with which 1t was unlucky to
NEEDLE.
The "Piskies," full of mischief and
finding great JOY in leading mortals
Rstray.
The "Buccas,' spirits of the mines,
associated in local legend with men
from the East, doomed to work under
ground until the Resurrection.
The Brownies kindly and good,
the spirits of the household, ever ready
TO do what they could to assist man
kind.
There are numerous legends Of the
adventures of mortals with these
fairies and only few years ago men

Making Ice on Lumber Camp Roads.

Making Ice on Lumber Camp Roads.
The sprinkling tank Is a familiar
sight on the streets in the summer,
but how many have ever heard of
sprinkling operations carried on in the
winter?
However, the winter sprinkling
tank, mounted On sleigh runners, is an
important adjunct in many logging
camps. The cutting Of timber Is usu-
ally winter job, the logs being hauled
to a railroad spur or a stream of suf-
ficient size to float them away when
the spring freshets come. Horses do
this hauling where tractors are not
employed for the purpose. The sprin-
king tanks are used to keep q sheet
of ice on the rough roadways and en-
able the horses to draw heavy loads.
Over an iced road a team of horses
can haul five or six tons of logs on
bobsleds.

Many Miraculous Cures Of Ills At
tributed to the Old Shrine Of
Ste. Anne de Beaupre.

When the celebrated French Ca
madam church of Ste. Anne de
Beaupre, near Quebec, was destroyed
by fire a few weeks ago the famous
statue of Ste. Anne, various relics of
the sainte and the old chapel in which
the statue was first kept were miracu-
lousy spared.
1t is an old and faithfully adhered
to legend Of the parishioners of the
church Of Ste. Anne de Beaupre that a
party of Breton sailors were over
wbelmed by a terrible storm in the
st. Lawrence river in the year 1915.
When it seemed that nothing could
save them they called upon Ste. Anne
the patroness of their own home
province of Brittany in France, and
all members of the crew Joined In a
solemn vow that they would erect a
sanctuary on the shore to the memory
of their saint If they were saved from
about all night but early the next
morning the storm died and they were
landed safely. Believing faithfully
that their prayers had been answered
by ste. Anne, they Immediately set
to work constructing rude wooden
chapel which was destined to become
world famous through the successive
churches that followed it.
In the erection of one of these
churches that followed the original
frame structure parishioner acct
dentally discovered that the shrine
had curative powers. Louis Guimont
was his name; he helped in the con-
struction of the church to show his
reverence for the patrOness saint al
though he could scarcely walk because
Of rheumatism, from which he had
suffered since his youth. But he had
no sooner placed one stone In the
foundation than his rheumatism
vanished.
Whether by the amazing faith Of
those who come to the shrine to be
cured Of divers Affections or by some
divine quality In the statue and the
old chapel or by something that no
man can understand cannot be said,
but it is indeed true that most mirac-
ulous cures are effected at the shrine
Of Ste. Anne de Beaupre.

the levels, heard his name called dis
tinctly. He was afraid to follow the
voice and went on with his work. His
name was called again and this time
more vehemently. The miner threw
down his hammer and went to investi-
gate. Almost Immediately a mass Of
rock fell on the spot where he had
been working. The warning had saved
his life.

their presence being known.

buildings are to be restored, as well
as group Of small farms on the hill

promised to have all roads put into

silent In the little green-and-white
cemetery just across the way.
Homes Must Be Rebuilt.
In time nature will restore to France
her trees and lowered loneliness, but
neither time nor nature can rebuild
shattered homes. Those of us who
have not been intimately touched by
the horrors of war; or the cruelty Of
sudden overwhelming separation from
those we love can only approximate
the sadness in the lives of those about
us who have not been so fortunate.
Many a mothers heart is buried and
her enthusiasm deadened 1t is only
through some practical memorial that
her interests can be reused and re-
awakened
The field of honor at Belleauswill be
the permanent Aisne-M Marine cemetery,
where a shining forest of snow-white
crosses will stand as sentinels over
the mortal remains of 5000 of our
boys" The organization for this me-
mortal to our dead has it's headquar-
tiers in Washington, with Marshal
Foch chairman for France, John w.

ident Is Mrs. James Carroll Frazer,

How Our Boys Went Into Action.
Mrs. Reath revisited France last
summer and went over all the ground
IN the neighborhood of Belleau. At
Les Mores farm she made the ac-
quaintance Of young Frenchman who
had been severely wounded at the Bat
tie of the Marine. HE had witnessed
the advance of the American troops"
said Mrs. Reath, "and his account was
so graphic and bore such testimony to
the truthfulness of the American cor
respondents who had covered the adj
vance of the American army in 1918
and described the troops in action at
Belleau, that 1 feel should tell it to
you as he told it to me.
Those men were magnificent, ma
dame! They had taken off their coats
and had pinned to their shirts pop
py. AS they rushed forward they
yelled, and, madame, as they fired
the Germans went hipity hop! hipity
hop This wa. the only English word
that Frenchmah knew, but It was the
most expressive English word l have
ever heard. 1t does seem incredible
that our boys should have been so
careless with their hves,' continued
Mrs. Reath, but I have no reason to
doubt the truth of the mans word,
especially as it corroborated the ac-
count of our own correspondents at
the time"
This memorial at Belleau is to be
established to those boys-our boys;
to their idealism; to their heroism that
brOOked no barrier. 1t is to be a me-
mortal that will give to the people Of
this part of France practical express
sion of the goodwill Of the American
people as well as national tribute to
the men whose souls shall be where
the heroes are" and whose memory
shall shine like the morning star"

His offer was accepted. He had an
almost uncanny sense of direction, and
no one In the company possessed bet
ter knowledge of wood lore. All his
summers had been spent in the open,
and these playtimes Of earlier days
had developed qualities that now stood
him in good stead The playtime of
the child had become the opportunity
of the man.
Creeping cautiously through the un-
derbrush, he reached the shelter Of
the woods, only to find that he had
stumbled on quarry and a camp of
more than sixty German soldiers.
Trembling with excitement, he rushed
forward. Surrender he shouted.
"The whole American army is behind
mel" Surprised, bewildered, the men
marched out, under cover of the hold
up, and were brought prisoners into
the American line. One of the majors
In the Second division wrote in June,
1918, of the death in action of this
marine: "He was killed in the Bots
de Belleau by a shell near where my
command post was, shortly after
bringing his captain out, who had been
wounded in an attack we were max
ing. The day before he went into a
quarry and brought out 60 Germans
as prisoners, single-handed. Such an
act speaks for itself"
1t was by this spirit these men
fought, and because of this spirit these
men won. 1t was q dearly bought
victory, but it stopped the German
objective, and the enemy never again
won victory or made another drive.
Many States Share Glory.
In the little cemetery on the western
edge OF Belleau woods, there is hardly
a state in the Union not represented.
There are 200 alone from Massachu-
setts. Belleau woods, just above the
village of Belleau, where the Germans
sheltered their guns, is now called
the wood of the Marine Brigade"
and what was once lovely wooded hill
is now a rocky devastation its crown
of natures green now rows of tooth
picks" standing naked to the sky.
In Washington, in June, 1921, the
plan of the Belleau Wood Memorial
association to rebuild the town of Bel
leau by popular subscription was
launched. The, Belleau Woods Me-
moral association thinks it better to
rebuild
"a house that has echoed a baby's
laugh and held up its stumbling
feet"
better to put
"home's loving wooden arms
around a man and his wife,"
than to erect shaft of marble cold
to the sky in memory of our dead.
The national committee hopes to raise
$3O0.000 and with this money rebuild
the little town of Belleau shattered by
our boys in their advance on Belleau
wood.
The plan is to rebuild the village as
1t was, with the addition of q better
church, school, and with an adequate
water supply; the supervision will be
in the hands of Col. Charles r. Forbes,
director of the Veterans bureau, who
served in the A. E. F. and who is
noted engineer in civil life. Every
cent raised will 60 into the rebuilding

dresses of every contributor will be

1t was May in France, 1918, records
Clara Whiteside in the Philadelphia
Ledger. The French line from Sois-
sons to Reims paralleled in a general
way the line of the ancient road.
Chemin des Danes, and the French
defenses were so strong that the war
worn gallant French armies were using
middle-aged men known as territorials
to hold this part of the line. Perhaps
effort to split the French and English
armies, the Germans made great at
tack on this sector at the end of May,
and in five days had driven back the
French to open country, following the
great half circle of the Marine, which
the Germans crossed at Dormans on
the east side of the salient at Chateau
Thierry and at Belleau.
There were no trenches and no
Notifications so far back from the
fighting front, and the war was again
In the open. Foreseeing the purpose
Of the German army to enter a wedge
between the allied armies, Marshal
Foch selected American troops to stop
this advance, which at Les Meres
farm and at Chateau Thierry had
reached the nearest point to Paris-37
miles-since the previous advance in
1914.
Heroism Commonplace.
The Second American division had
just taken that part of the line in the
neighborhood Of Belleau, while at Dor
mans and Chateau Thierry the First
and Third were holding back the Hun.
Rocks and crags hid the enemy's ma
chine guys, but in the early part of
the engagement the French were vir-
tually without artillery protection and
were fighting hand-to-hand action to
stop the Germans until help could
come. In the fighting sof May and
early June, 1918, the American troops
were without supports and reserves,
but the individual initiative was re-
markable. Heroism was a common
place of the American soldier in ac-
ton.
