Letter From French Soldier Relates
Narrow Escapes of Friend Who
Makes Frequent Trips to
the Trenches.
New York—The danger undergone
by a messenger carrying dispatches
from the war office to the front is told
in a letter received by Robert Stovold
of this city from his brother in the
French army. The letter says, in part:
“George and the duke are also in
the army now as interpreters. They
are with General French and the Eng
lish army all of the time. Harry is
engaged to take officers with dis
patches from the war office to the
front three and four times a week.
He sees George often.
“Three times a week George has to
take dispatches up to the firing line.
This Is a pretty risky job and he has
had several narrow escapes. Once he
had to jump out of his automobile and
lie down for several hours while
shells and bullets went whistling by
over him. Another time as he was
driving along with his automobile
some Germans hiding in the woods
fired at him. Fortunately they missed
him, but several of the bullets struck
the automobile.
“Another time a shell burst twenty
yards from him, but by a miracle he
was not touched. He was enveloped
in smoke, however, the fumes of the
shell making him feel sick and giddy.
George, however, seems to think it
great sport.
“Harry Colliard in the trenches also
has been in some of the thickest of
the fighting. He is fighting there day
and. night. Although he has been in
many of the bayonet charges, he has
so far escaped unscathed. Let's hope
it will always be thus. Bob's brother
has not been so fortunate. He was
wounded in the head by shrapnel and
picked up on the battlefield insensible.
He found himself in the hospital when
he recovered. He is nearly well now,
though, and hopes to return soon to’
have another smack at those Ger
mans.
“What a terrible war this is, Bob.
Several of my very dear friends have
been killed, a few others wounded
and one is now a prisoner in Ger
many. If it were not for the wonder
ful fighting of the English.we would
have suffered more. But by the time
you get this letter you will be reading
that the Germans are in full retreat.”
After relating the sufferings of the
wounded and the hardships undergone
the writer closes with the words, “I
should just like to have the job of
shooting that kaiser.”

One of the youthful and extremely
promising novelists and dramatists is
Miss Alice Gerstenberg. After spend
ing three years at Bryn Mawr college
she decided that she wanted some
“real work,” as she sincerely put it.
and launched into the literary field. As
an author Miss Gerstenberg is not un
known to the American public, her
“Unquenched Fire” and “The Con
science of Sarah Platt’ having been
favorably received. f
In the dramatic field Miss Gersten
berg is known to the theater-goers by
her “Aliqe in Wonderland” and the
“Model Maid.”
With all these activities in the lit
erary field .Miss Gerstenberg finds
time to belong to many clubs in her
home city, Chicago. Still she is the
most modest and unassuming little
person in the world.
HOW THE KAISER APPEARS
Correspondent Writes Pen Picture of
Emperor as He Saw Him
at Front.
Berlin.—A pen picture of the kaiser
appears in the Kreuz-Zeitung from its
war correspondent with the German
troops in Poland, who says: “The
kaiser appeared with General Macken
sen, and passed along in front of the
officers and troops. I had not seen him
since the time when at the beginning
of the war he spoke to the crowd from
the balcony of the castle in Berlin.
“For one moment I had formed the
impression that he had become ter
ribly gray in the campaign. That,
however, was an error, which arose
from the fact that his head protector,
which he was wearing owing to the
extremely cold weather, was gray.
“The supreme war lord appears, on
the contrary, extraordinarily fresh and
elastic, even though the seriousness
of these last months has left marks on
his features, and a certain bitterness
which formerly was not present comes
into his voice when he speaks.
“When I saw him I could not help
thinking of the kaiser parade in 1895
on the Spandau drill ground. How
brilliant he then looked, how forceful,
how confident in the future and vic
tory!”
AUSTRIAN BAR IN PROTEST
Object to Restraining Refugee Law
yers of Galicia and Bukowina
From Practicing.
Vienna. —A committee of the Aus
trian Bar association has recently
drawn up a vigorous protest against
the enactments of the government re
straining the refugee lawyers of
Galicia and Bukowina from the prac
tice of their profession in lower Aus
tria. The representations of the com
mittee, which has behind it not only
the prominent lawyers of Vienna, but
of all the Austrian crownlands, re
ceived instant and hearty indorsement
from the bar. The Austrian Bar as
sociation repudiated all sympathy
with the illiberal policy of the state
authorities, and by a three-quarters
vote of its members, put itself on rec
ord against the proceedings disbarring
its colleagues from Galicia and Buko
wina. Public opinion, too, keenly
alive to the fact that the government
is imposing disabilities on a part of
its population which is suffering for
its sake, is in emphatic accord with
the stand of the lawyer’s committee.
TO BE SOLDIER, EATS BEANS
Youth Who Tried to Enlist Three
Times Is Under Weight—Physi
cian Advises Him.
Alexandria, Ind. —Paul Hogle, a
high school pupil, who has had am
bitions to join the United States army,
returned from Indianapolis, where he
made his third unsuccessful attempt
to enlist under the Stars and Stripes.
At Muncie the young man was in
formed six months ago that he was
not old enough. When he tried to join
the army at the Anderson recruiting
station his parents objected. A few
days ago he slipped away to Indian
apolis. Everything went along fine
until it came to the question of
weight. He was five pounds under
the prescribed weight. He has been
advised by a local physician to con
fine his diet to beans to take on ex
tra weight.

“SOLOMON” ENDS BABY CASE
This Time in Person of New York
Lawyer—He Foregoes
the bword.
New York. —May a child be held for
board unpaid?
The question was asked of Magis
trate Barlow, when Mrs. May Berg
hard, whose baby was born last Au
gust, summoned to court Mrs. Minnie
Curtis because she had refused to
give up the child until Mrs. Berghard
paid $lO arrears of board for the baby.
On consulting the court Bible, Mag
istrate Barlow, in emulation of King
Solomon in a similar case, glanced
about for the state sword which
should have been behind his chair.
The court stenographer had taken it
away to sharpen his pencil, and in de
fault of anything bigger than a paper
cutter Magistrate Barlow threw bibli
cal instructions to the winds, and gave
the child back to its mother.

PAYS FOR TURKEY HE STOLE
But It Took Him Twenty-Seven Years
to Discover That the Act
Was Sinful.
Atkin, Ark.—-A. D. Stubbs of Carden
> Bottom, six miles south of here, re
. ceived from the post office there a dol
lar and the following letter of ex
planation :
“A. D. Stubbs —Dear friend: Please
find enclosed $1 for one turkey I killed
, of yours twenty-seven years ago in the
woods near the mouth of Petit Jean
. river. This turkey was taken to
George Shoemake’s and we cooked it
and ate it. I am serving God. Will
you please forgive me for this sinful
t act? L. R. Eagan.”
The letter was mailed at Kansas
, City. Mr. Stubbs remembers Eagan
. well, but was not aware of the killing
; of the turkey..
Mr. Stubbs at once applied the dol
lar to the cause of foreign missions.

ARE DAUGHTERS WISER IN LOVE
MATTERS THAN THEIR
MOTHERS?
In men whom men denounce as ill
I see so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine
I see so much of sin and blot;
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two—where God has not.
The class of girls who are willing
to abide by their mother's choice of a
lover for them is
■HV ' ' equally divided.
There are ener-
Rt .', getic mothers of
backward, bash-
• > i ful daughters, w’ho
~ take their love as- ,
fairs in band from
finish.
They decide what ,
Y° un S men s b all ;
■■ be introduced to
BWIL * ■ them, and draw a :
' sharp line as to
those whom they
- consider undesir-
' - ' >~, ' able. Such a
mother coaches
J - ber dau ßbter as t 0 -
Ly-y - ; v| how she shall en- .
• tertain the young
man when he calls. If after repeated
visits, he should take it upon himself
to make too ardent love to her the :
mother tells her how she must behave ,
to subdue his impetuosity; what she
must do if he insists upon holding her
hand when he bids her good-by at the
door.
The timidity of such a girl increases
under such tutelage. She is always
in terror lest she will not say or do
the right things. She has not the abil
ity to decide in a critical moment what
is the right course to pursue. She has
not had an opportunity to talk it over
with mother.
There’s another class of girls who
take quite a different viewpoint as to
their heart affairs and -what is best
for them. They argue that they can
discriminate as to what young men
should be their associates, and as to
those whom they should turn down,
the delicacy of the courtship preced
ing the marriage proposal; how to act
properly—not too cold nor yet too
bold; when to speak, when to remain
silent; just how to touch the silver
cord that will win for herself a hus
band.,
shall say which is best for any
one pother to do—coach her daughter
or depend upon her to rely upon her
own experience to guide her. She
knows how’ she won her heart mate.
She has heard her husband discourse
on this subject from a man's point
of view, while he laughed and told
her of the stories he had swapped
with other men. This gives a woman
insight into a man’s character which
she could not otherwise possess.
The experienced mother unerringly
divines a man's intentions as to
whether he is on marriage intent, or
only fooling time away. The inexpe
rienced daughter can simply guess.
She learns too late, if she has been
entertaining a fickle lover, when he
gives her up without ado and hies to
a new sweetheart. Summing up the
situation, it would seem that if a girl
is old enough and sensible enough to
have a beau, the reins should be put
in her hands for guiding him. It is
she w r ho will have to live with him if
they wed. A word of motherly coun
sel now and then if she is in doubt,
should be sought, appreciated and ac
cepted. Lovemaking is not always the
same. Each case is a law unto itself.
Much depends upon the lover. Most
men are honest and true in lovemak
ing. They uphold innocence and pur
ity in women, the rosebloom which
jewels existence. Rascals in winning,
hearts are few and far between, moth
ers find.
WINTER EVENING BEAUX..
Her lips were so near
That what else could I do?
You’ll be angry, I fear,
But her lips were so near-
Well, I can’t make it clear
Or explain it to you—
But her lips were so near
That what else could I do?
If it’s a stormy winter night, the
woman who is expecting her would-be
suitor to pay her a call is fearful lesj
he will not venture out This fear
shows how little most women under
stand the heart of man.
The worse the evening the more a
man longs for the warmth, comfort,
and companionship of some nice, pleas
ant woman in her cozy parlor. His
boarding place offers little or no at
traction; his room is cheerless. Books
do not warm his heart, but the gentle
clasp of a woman’s hand in his has
that effect. The glow of the firelight,
easy, comfy chairs have a delightful,
cheering influence over him. It gives
him a taste of home life, no matter
how much of a rover he is inclined to
be. Even the plainest of women will
look fair to him as he watches her
homelike, domesticated feminine ways.
Although he may have dined late,
he accepts with pleasure the tasty lit
tle spread she has prepared for him.
It may be only sandwiches or crackers
and cheese, some homemade cake, and
a cup of tea; but they taste like am
brosia to the world-weary man who
dinez at club, restaurant, or boarding
place. He wishes from the depth of
his heart that the hands of the clock
would not go round so fast those cozy
winter evenings.
If he does overstay by half an hour
or so the proper hour for leaving, who
can blame him? It is hard for a man
to tear himself away from warmth and
genial companionship that is slowly
but surely resolving itself into the one
great love of a man’s life to go forth
and face the cold and the storm. It is
no wonder that winter evenings draw
beaux to women’s sides; that constant
ly being together each heart should
feel the irresistible charm of the oth
er.
The coziness of home life is so ap
pealing and woman’s influence so com
pelling, a man cannot resist love
words springing to his lips, asking her
to leave her happy home for one of his
making. Ere the winter evenings
have passed they have named the joy
ful day. The lover who wends his
way to your fireside on winter eve
nings is worth cultivating. He may
not take his girl to many balls, the
aters, or dances, but he should not
be censured for this. He is learning
the stay-at-home habit, which a wom
an may thank heaven for .when she is
his wife. Her cheerful fireside has
saved him from roaming about with
careless male companions or staying
at clubs far into the wee sma’ hours.
Winter betrothals are said to be
lucky. Philosophers of old pinned
their faith to it. So why should we
doubt it? Unfortunate is he who has
no sweetheart to while away the win
ter evenings with. A man does not
need advice when he has got that far
along.
•
MEN IN HALL BEDROOMS.
Impell’d with steps unceasing to pursue
Some fleeting good, that moclrs me with
the view;
That, like the circle bounding earth and
skies,
Allures from far, yet as I follow flies.
When your pity is aroused by the
lonely bachelor, who infers that he
has a dreary life of it and is unutter
ably lonely in the comfortable hall
room of a boarding house, size up his
situation in this wise: A man is sel
dom or never a bachelor save by his
own free will. He has dodged Cupid
whenever he has seen him approach
ing w-ith his arrow pointed toward him.
If he showed an inclination to be pleas
ant toward women, there would be
plenty of doors thrown open to him to
dine or pass the evening.
The rosy firelight glow and a pleas
ant woman sitting opposite, him has
had no charm for him or his heart
would have been warmed toward such
a home picture, which many a woman
whom he has met has probably uncon
sciously suggested. He has knowingly,
aye, willingly, passed by opportunities.
Modest women can do no more than
to smile at him wuth their bright eyes
when they meet him and extend him
an invitation to call. They would
willingly get up just such appetizing
dishes as he would like if he were to
be at their table. No one knows bet
ter than the single man that no mat
ter w’here he would choose to dine,
whether it be at restaurants or hotels,
he is expected to select what he wants
with dispatch and make no delay in
getting through with as little time as
possible. There’s a hungry crowd of
people ready to dine standing in line
waiting for his place. No one bids
him welcome as he enters or expresses
the hope that he will soon come again
when he takes his departure.
He goes out into the storm with no
one to care whether he has an um
brella or what becomes of him. How
different had he been dining with
some sweet woman who was interest
ed in his welfare. How gratifying to
know that there was’ no undue haste
and that he could take time to enjoy
the wholesome, appetizing home cook
ing set before him. Who but a woman
interested in him would be anxious to
know if he were pleased with his din
ner dr not, glad to have him linger as
long as he would at the table?
Every single man understands both
sides of the picture. He knows better
than you can tell him that his’ loneli
ness is self-inflicted. He who gives
himself up to day dreaming over the
happiness of others and his own dis
comforts should remember that he is
the architect of his own good or ill
fortune. Even that .hall bedroom with
a wife beside him to love him would
be changed frond cold and gloom to
a veritable cozy paradise. Two can
live with economy with but little more
expense than will keep one, with no
regrets, the joy of loving being theirs.
America in Print.
Americans are the greatest newspa
per readers in the world. The daily
papers in the United States number
2,472, the weeklies 16,269, and the
monthly and other publications bring
the total up to 22,806. The combined
circulation of these is about 59,000,000,
or enough to provide a daily paper, a
weekly paper and a monthly magazine
for every family in the country. There
is a newspaper to every 4,100 of the
American population; in Great Britain
there is one to every 4,700; in France,
one to every 5,900, and in Germany,
one to every 7,800.
Politics Not for Father.
According to Dr. Hadley of Yale,
“the man who makes politics a profes
sion and has a wife and children will
have the choice of doing that which is
not quite right and staying in office
or doing that which is right and get
ting out of office, permitting his wife
and children to starve.”
The statement is somewhat large
and professional, but if taken as sol
emn truth, the moral seems to be that
politicians should be bachelors. —New

MR. ROUNDER A DIPLOMAT
Anyone That Could Get Away With
Excuse He Offered Is Deserving
of the Warne.
Mr. Rounder lay in the hospital
with a broken leg and a bruised head.
But they weren't worrying him most..
There in the morning paper was'the
whole story of one too many joy rides,
chorus girls and all, staring from
page 1.
His wife —he knew her too well.
Even while he pictured the scene
in the divorce court, she came in, stiff
and cold and threatening, the telltale
paper clutched in a trembling hand.
“Well?” she demanded accusingly.
Then came his inspiration.
“Lucretia!” he whispered, reaching
toward her, in spite of the pain his
movements gave him. “I—l thought
the automobile was a jitney bus, and
before I discovered the difference, it
whizzed away with me, and —”
She interrupted him with a wild
cry.
“Oh, Jonathan! I knew’ you couldn’t
have done anything so absurd!”
Manlike, he forgave her. —Judge.
- Absent Minded. .
Everything—in the professor’s eyea
—depended upon this last test. His
work of research for years was now
about to either prove a success or a
failure.
To the P. the air seemed electri
fied, and he had success in view when
he heard the familiar step of a doctor
acquaintance approaching.
“Well, what is it, old man? Can’t
you see I’m frightfully busy?”
A smile broke over the doctor’s
face.
“It's a bonnie boy, sir—a little son.
and heir.”
“All right—all right!” irritably
growled the professor,'whose thoughts
were far removed from the outside
world “Be so good as to send him
away, but askliim what he wants pes
tering round here at this unearthly
hour, will you?”
Profuse explanations follow.
Immortal Animals.
Some of the lower animals are im
mortal, having neither birth nor death.
The condition was never more clearly
or scientifically expressed than by S.
T. Coleridge in the “Biographia Lit
eria” in a footnote to Chapter IV on
Wordsworth’s "Lyrical Ballads” where
he says:
“There is a sort of minim immortal
among the animalcula infusoria which
has not naturally either birth or death,
absolute beginning or absolute end, for
at a certain period a small point ap
pears on its back, which deepens and
lengthens till the creature divides into
two, and the same process recom
mences in each of the halves now be
come Integral.”
A Purely Practical Nature.
"You don’t care much for music?”
“I consider it of great ralue,” re
plied Senator Sorghum. "Music en
ables a man to use his voice all he
wants to without link of being drawn
Into a political argument.”
