After gazing at us for some time one of the women remarked that the crazy English were sending women over to fight for them ; the second quickly re plied that that couldn’t he so, for there was a man with a beard. At that a third woman shook her head rather solemnly for a few moments and then suddenly exclaimed rather loudly: ‘I have it; they are the mid dle-sex.’ ” Its Place. “The steamer reports that the crew found an ox swimming about, probably escaped from a cattleship, and took it aboard.” “Did they put it in the steerage?” SOAP IS STRONGLY ALKALINE and constant use will burn out the scalp.

It had, in fact, taken the wrong turning. “Breakers ahead! We are lost!” yelled the lookout from his point of vantage in the bows. “Regorra 1” cried the Irish cook, “we’re not lost if that will save us.” And he seized a belaying pin and hit the lookout such a blow as completely to daze the man. “How dare you?” bellowed the cap tain, angrily. “Why did you strike that man?” “Well,” replied Pat, “he yelled, ‘Break us a head or we are lost!’ and, sure, I did it, sir. And I’ll break a dozen, sir, if that’ll save the ship, be dad!" TRIED FIFTY REMEDIES FOR SORES IN NOSTRILS Mr. Allen Gales Jennings, Washing ton, D.

T Miirii mutt iiilM il lli-UH IMI iVLIHiHIIvHiIII Ji WAR CHIEF OF BRITAIN 1 * then he had a great stroke of luck for one of such humble origin. He became a butler in one of the great houses in the neighborhood. At eighteen the military fever seized him and he enlisted. He chose a crack regiment, the Sixteenth lancers, and he must have made au ideal cavalry man, for even now he is the beau ideal of a dashing soldier, tall, well set up, and with an extraordinary firm chin and jaw. He had no one to help him and he served in the ranks for ten years, but before long his ambition w;S# roused, and he probably foresaw that in his case the soldier’s knapsack really did contain the field marshal’s baton. He began then the study of languages and of military history, both of which have stood him in such good stead in his subsequent career. He is much like Kitchener and possesses some of the characteristics displayed by “K. of K.” He is a tireless worker, has a mind that works like lightning, dispenses with red tape, is a masterly organizer and will have none but efficient, hard workers under him. Like Kitchener also he can say “No” to a peer or a prince, and if he considers a decision necessary he does not hesitate to announce it. He is a strict disciplinarian, and while greatly admired and respected for the honors he has won, he is at times feared by the officers. CLAPP LIKES DAY TRAVEL Although he does a good deal of traveling over the country. Senator Moses E. Clapp of Miunesota rarely travels at night. This is not due to any prejudice against sleeping in one of the Pullman company’s berths, either. He journeys by daylight sim ply because he likes to do so. Not long ago he and a younger man had to go on a trip of 14 hours or more, and the other man naturally proposed that they go ou a night train. “Why do you want to go at night?” asked Clapp, us if the idea of night travel was a brand new wrinkle. “To save time, of course,” replied the man. “One has to sleep anyhow. Otherwise one wastes an entire day.” “Waste a day!” exclaimed Clapp. “On a train! What’re you talking about? Why, a train’s the very place of all places where you don’t need to waste your time. You sit iu your office and people come in to interrupt you and you can fritter away an hour or two without accomplishing a thing. But on a train —there’s the place to devote yourself to quiet reflection and think things out. Nearly every good thing I ever did I carefully thought out first while looking out the window of a train. No, indeed, you don’t get me to go by night unless I have to. The chance to have a nice long day on the train is too precious to let go by.” So they journeyed by daylight. «, •• ‘ ».. a, . X bade him go ahead. He was fairly certain that he could refute any argument Shackleford might have against the single-tax doctrine. “What I want to know,” propounded Shackleford, "is this: Why is it that there was never a single case of appendicitis in this country until after Henry George began to talk his single tax? Just answer me that 1” Gen. Li Huan Hung, who has long been recognized as one of the ablest soldiers in China, is now president of the Oriental ri>publlc, having succeed ed the late Yuan Shih Kai, and it is be lieved the change of rulers has put an end to the plans of the Nanking trium virate and the Peking mandarinate to re-establish the empire. The southern Chinese are solidly behind the new president At the same time, there is great anxiety concerning the attitude which Japan will take toward China. Gen eral Li spent two years iu Japan in the study of military affairs, and he is looked upon as favorable to Japanese influence in China. He is regarded as the representative of the Japanese stu dent element in Chinese polities, as op posed to the American student ele ment, which always was very influen tial under the rule of Yuan Shih Kai. The Chinese who were educated in Japan have been prominent in the three recent revolutions in China, and it Is natural that they should come into power under the new regime. “OLD SHACK'S” POSER CHINA’S NEW RULER From servant to head of the think ing machine of the British army In the greatest war in history, this is the record of General Sir William itobert son, who a few months ago was ap pointed chief of the general stuff at the war office in London and virtual commander in chief of the British armies. Robertson’s rise to the very high est possible position in the British army is unique. There is no other case on record of a ranker attaining the highest command in the British army, and only one other case in which a ranker even came within measurable f-\stance of It. Robertson Is a genuine raflker, of Scottish descent. He is the son of a farm laborer in Lincolnshire, where he was born fifty-six years ago, and his preliminary education was received at the village school. When he left school he worked in the fields for a time, and Representative Warren Worth Bailey of Johnstown, Pa., Is a person with definite views about things. When he favors or opposes a proposition he does so with much earnestness and in tenseness. For example, he has long been strongly in favor of an adoption of Henry George’s single tax ideas, and is equally strong in his opposition to the president’s program for naval and military preparedness. One night Bailey sat in the lobby of the hotel where he lives in Wash ington talking gravely about the good tilings in store for this nation just as soon as single tax comes to be gener ally applied throughout the country. Congressman Dorsey W. Shackle ford of Missouri was sitting close by. “Old Shack,” as he is called, has a sense of humor, though he doesn’t look it. “I would like to ask you just one question,” said he to Bailey, and Bailey The Airman’s Story $> By Frank Filson (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) “You will fly to Sarcy,” said my gen eral, “and deliver this plan of our dis positions to General Dufour, in com mand of the advanced posts there.” I stared at my general in amaze ment. How did he suppose that I could fly the hundred miles to Sarcy, across the apex of the enemy’s lines, when his Foklcers had command of the air? However, it is not for a French soldier to submit advice. I took the precious plan and made my way to my monoplane, which, like a great bird, lay with outstretched wings ready for me. I had no observer. There was noth ing to observe, and my flight was not for observation. In a few minutes I had climbed to a height of a thousand feet and was making my way steadily along the front, a little inside our lines. All went well so long as I continued along the straight line of the army. You know it runs for thirty miles straight as a die, then it bends sud denly inward, where the enemy have their salient. It was this salient that I had to cross. . I reached it and ascended another thousand feet. Then I saw a puff of cotton wool appear beside me and sink slowly to earth. The anti-aircraft guns were at me already. I mounted to three thousand. Now, from the far-flung lines of the enemy below, little rising dots indi- ©■ I I Mounted to Three Thousand. cated the advent of the hostile ma chines, the dreaded Fokkers. Light and swift, I knew that they could out distance me. But I made my course at top speed, while all about me the shrapnel burst in little clouds. One bullet burled itself in my hand. I tossed it from me. And then the shrapnel ceased, for the enemy ma chines were nearing me. There were five of them. They were flying parallel with my course. Two of them ranged themselves alongside; or, rather what passes for alongside— a distance of five hundred yards. I heard the drilling maxim open as one of them turned bow on toward me, fir ing through her rudder. I rose and the bullets passed harmlessly beneath me. At the same time I answered with my rifle. I could distinctly see the pilot’s body as he bent forward in his seat. I fired and he pitched forward headlong. The machine stopped dead in the air as he took his hand from the levers, turned over and dropped like a stone. So now there were four of them. They circled about me like great birds of prey. I rose. I rose until I was a thousand feet overhead and swooped like an osprey. As I swooped I fired ten rounds from my rifle. By good for tune I riddled the motor of the ma chine that I was attacking. It caught fire and fell to earth in a blaze of flame. So that left three. They flew alongside, firing steadily. The bullets escaped me by a miracle. My motor must have been pierced, for a steady drip, drip of oil pattered into the chassis. However, at this mo ment, when all seemed lost, one of the enemy machines developed some fault with her steering gear and went gracefully to earth, leaving me only two antagonists. Then, to my astonishment, after cir cling about each other, I heard, above the sound made by my leaking motor, one of the airmen bid the other leave him to me. The other obeyed. Of my five antagonists only one remained. It was the machine of the redoubt able Lieutenant Hansen. I knew that by the red flag with the skull which it was his privilege to carry. He came so near to me that I could see him salute me. Then, with an ironical cry, he let loose a "volley from his maxim. I answered with my rifle. I did not injure him. He rose, following me. We dodged and veered and placed about each other. Then he dived in a straight swoop, coming so'near me in his calculated drop that I felt sure he would crash into me and send the ma- ehines crashing to earth. And then ho aimed point blank at me with his revolver. The ball went through my leg. I swayed in the seat; but the next mo ment he was far in the distance, re turning to continue his battle. Hausen, the most chivalrous of ene mies, had chosen to encounter me upon equal terms. He had no aid with him; hence he had nothing but a revolver with which to fight. I dropped my rifle and drew mine. As he passed me we blazed at each other. The bul lets went wild. Again we drew apart. And now I had almost crossed the apex and was nearing Sarcy. I knew, from the distant end in the long line of the intrenchments, and from tho shining river, that my course was al most at an end. Hansen knew, too, that his last chance had come. He flew straight for me; I evaded him by a hair's breadth, and I realized to my horror that he had determined to ram me in air and bring both our machines to earth rather than let me escape him. I flew madly toward my goal. Han sen, in his light Fokker, was clearly my superior in maneuvering. He could bide his time. He dropped like an arrow. I twisted and turned in vain. I saw the machine approaching me, gave him my last shot and flung the revolver into his face. Next in* stant he was upon me. The crash was fearful. The ma chines seemed locked together in air. For an instant I had a view of the ironic face of Hansen; the next min ute we were falling to earth together. Somehow we became disentangled. Above the nois9 of the raging battle below I heard the halting thump of my motor. The sound was like music in my ears. By great good fortune I was falling right side up. How I contrived it I do not know, but I righted the ma chine, steadied her and volplaned downward, to land behind our ad vanced lines and, by a strange chance, before the tent of General Dufour him self. Then, as they helped me out of the wrecked machine, I became conscious of another aeroplane upon the ground. It was the Fokker of Hansen, smashed to pieces. Hansen himself —- but I draw a veil over that. He was a brave antagonist and it was an honor to have met him. I saluted General Dufour and handed him the roll of plans. He took it and looked at me in astonishment. “You flew across the salient of ther enemy’s lines?” he asked in incredu lity. “Yes, my general,” I returned mod estly. “And fought off five aeroplanes, of which I have brought one back aa a trophy.” “You fool!” he burst out angrily. “Did you not know that these plans were meant to be found when your aeroplane fell in the enemy’s lines? And you, imbecile, why are you not dead?” “I can oblige you, my general,” I an swered weakly, looking downcast. And yet it was war, and what is one man’s life In war? Then I must have toppled over, for suddenly, out of a fog. I saw the gen eral’s eyes fixed upon my face. “You have done bravely,” he said, with that tone that goes straight to a Frenchman’s heart. He handed me the roll. “It is useless,” he said. “But after the war you can —frame it as a memorial.” French in Caricature. Why is it, I wonder, that the French man always has been —and still is— portrayed in British comic journals in the traditional guise of a gay boule vardier. wearing a Van Dyke beard and dressed in a ridiculous velvet jack et such as the Montmartre artists affect? Marcel Boulenger asks iu Cartoons Magazine. Do you remember the legendary Marius of Marseille, whose droll sil houette was one of the masterpieces of poor Caran d’Ache’s delightful art? Such, or nearly such, is the portrait ac corded us—in the most friendly way, of course —on the other side of the Channel. In the naive imagery of the British people it is thus we appear. And no matter where this strange, gaudy personage shows up. Tommy At kins affectionately gives vent to cheers, for he has recognized his com rade. But why under the sun should the sympathetic Tommy picture us like that? He should know better now. He surely knows that the average French man no more resembles Marius than does the typical Englishman resemble Lord Dundreary. But no matter. Con vention so orders. Did It With His Little Magnet. Gathering up the fragments, as the Bible tells us, is a sure way to a lift* of plenty. Even so elusive and ephemeral a thing as the soap bubble is being conserved in these days of scientific management and office effi ciency. Even the office boy has heard the call of thrift, and has answered it by attaching a string to a magnet and pulling it over the office floor and pushing It into inaccessible cor ners, the result of which has been an acquisition of pens, pins, paper clips and numerous office accessories which would otherwise be lost. —Popular Science Monthly.

More than four million women will be able to vote in the United States this year, and that will bring the total possible vote for presidential electors up to nearly thirty million, or double the number cast four ago.
