Sabre felt frightfully affected. He
could hardly speak.
The blessed gift in the war was to
be without imagination. The supreme
J trial, whether in endurance on the
part of thes who stayed at home, or
in courage on the part of those who
took the field, was upon those whose
mentality invested every sight and
every happening with the poignancy
of attributes not present but mag
med. For Sabre the war definitely
began with that visit to the Mess on
the eve of the Pink's departure. The
high excitement of the young men,
their eager planning, moved Sabre,
visioning what might await it all, in
depths profound and painful in their
intensity. His mind would not aban-
don them. He sat up that night after
Mabel had gone to her room. How

at once that this tomorrow gave no
lie to its precedent day. 1t intensi-

He went into the office. The after

CHAPTER "
The enormous and imponderable
world awfully unbalanced. Upside
down. Extraordinarily unreal. Furi-
ously real.
Life, which had been a thing of
events in which there was no time,
only events.
Things began one day very shortly
after the declaration of war when,
passing the barracks on his way
home, Sabre was accosted and taken
into the Mess by Cottar, subaltern
of the Pinks.
"You must come along in and have
a cup of tea," young Cottar urged.
"We've got hell of jamborino on.
At least we shall have tonight. We're
just working up for it. l can't tell
you why. You can guess"
Sabre felt sudden catch at his
emotions. ''Is the regimAnt going?"
They were at the door of the ante
room. Cottar swung it open. The
room was full of men and tobacco
smoke and noise. A very tall youth,
one Skies, was standing ont the table,

FLAPPER HAD KINDLY HEART
Always Safe in Judging by
Appearances.

She got on the interurban car few
stops the other side of Greencastle
last week-a typical little tlapper with
bobbed hair, an abundance Of paint
on her cheeks, short skirt and imita-
tion of a blouse, and she flirted with
every available man in sight. Across
the aisle was an old-fashioned girl,
the sort you see in pictures.
Every one of the latter's glances
toward the little flapper were full Of
scorn. But when they reached Green
castle little Japanese girl got On the
car. And then both of the girls
watched her.
A few miles out of town the Jap
anese girl became i'll. The old-fash-
ioned girl sat aloof, but the little
"napper" Immediately got interested,
moved over to her, patred her cheek
and then Strengthened her on the seat,
taking the other girls head in her lar.
If vote could have been taken for
the most popular girl on the train the
"fiapper" would have taken first, last

DECREED REST FROM LABOR
Saxon Monarch, a Thousand Years
Ago, Instituted Custom Of Satur-
day Half Holiday.

thousand years ago the Saxon
King Edgar proclaimed rest from
all labor from the noon of Saturday
till the dawn of Monday, and the same
principle was emphasized by his sue
cessors
The church was in those days the
dominant factor in all social life, and
the Saturday-to-Monday ordinance was
doubtless at first intended to give the
people full opportunities for going to
church. Round the village church, too,
gradually sprang up the Saturday mar
ket for the cOttagers, and so, though
slowly, the Saturday holy day evolved
into a holiday.
With the change from agriculture to
industrialism, people left the villages
for the towns, and here for some time
the Saturday half-holiday was endan-
gered in the rush and greed ef the
new-found and little understood prog
ress." A saner and more moderate
outlook, however, restored the Satur-
day half-holiday. But, curiously
enough, the towns claimed it as new
invention of their own, ignoring the
village life which, long centuries back,
knew as legal right the weekly half
holiday Of the Saturday.

Indian Tale of Pillar Rock.

There are Indian tales of the Pillar
rock, which is located about 1000 feet
from the Washington shore, and which
stand about 20 feet from the surface
of the Columbia river, and Of the oc-
currences thereabouts, real and fanci-
full. one is that Chief Skalhokawa,
his ire aroused because a Clatsop
brave made away with the, chiefs
daughter, hurled the rock at the de-
parting canoe of the swain from the
tribe across the river, missing the craft
but lmpantlng the huge pillar in mid
stream. The rock extends below the
30-foot depth, and the base, or projec-
ton, is said to have an approximate
width in excess of 80 feet.
George Vancouver, following Gray,
the discoverer of the river, spoke of
it. in 1892 as "the remarkable pillar
rock" He is said to have been told
of the rock by Gray and entered the
river on the way down the coast.

nwashlna Ones soIIed linen"

The phrase. washing ones sOiled
linen," is popularity used to express
airing of unpleasant private affairs
or family Quarrels in public, the anal
ogy being, of course, that both are
matters for disposition In the privacy
of ones home.
The expression comes down to us
as one of the brain children of Vol
taire, the famous French satirist. The
occasion for It's origin Is said to have
taken place In 1T40. when General
Maustein wrote to voltaire asking to
be vindicated publicly of accusations
made against him.
Voltaire happened to be occupied
in answering the appeal Of Frederick
OF Prussia to help him straighten out
one of his dilemmas. SO he replied
TO Maustein:
"The king has sent me some OF
his dirty linen to wash. l Will wash
yours another time"

KNOWN AS PROTESTANT POPE
sobriquet Bestowed on Clement XIV
When He Suppressed the
Order of Jesuits.

Pope Clement XIV bears the So
briquet of "the Protestant Pope al
though he was by no means a mem
ber of the Protestant faith. He earned
this title by bull which he issued in
1913, ordering the suppression of the
Order of the Jesuits. This seemed to
the devout Catholic a concession to
Professionalism, and thus Clement was
given his title.
The Jesuit order was established
in 1887 by Ignatius Loyola, and It's
chief aim was tc establish the power
of the pope and to preserve 1t against
the attacks of the Protestants. 1t
grew TO be the most powerful society
of the Roman Catholic church, gain
ing its influence principally through
the excellent schools which its men,
bers founded and maintained Its
potency grew to such an extent that
the temporal authorities took alarm
and, in 1878, France, Spain, Portugal,
Parma, Naples and Austria prevailed
upon Pope Clement to issue his bull
abolishing the order. 1t was re-es-
tablished by Pope Plus VII immediate
ly after the fall of Napoleon in 1915,
and is now in thriving condition In
all countries where the Roman church
has adherents. The order has been
distinguished throughout its exist
ence for the great learning and schol-
arship possessed by its members.

poultry plants and breeding estab-

of types of poultry houses, both on
the colony plan and the large lay

Larson breeding establishment is
the best to be seen anywhere with
in hundreds of miles, there being
several hundred hens under trap
nest record, an immense incubator
and other things of interest to
poultrymen.
