lth;i-IIM)()li:i) HI MANITY.
- No one-' who has a particle of
realization of what It moans to
subdue the Hun can help but ad
mire the, work that Is being done
by such men as Rev.- George Clark
of La Grande. What a. healthful
and vlrllo humanity It attached to
that sort of divinity which can see
thnt -the- only way to , fight the
devil is with -fire, and the only
way to defeat tha Hun Is to do II
with the "Sword of Oldoon." Tho
. war. against : Frusslanlsm Is amply
Justifiable,' even to a wnr of ex
termination If necessary. That U
the kind of, warfare that Is every
where upheld and ' sanctioned .by
the highest accoptuble nuthorlty, oi.
1her human or divine. It Is a pu t
of the plan of the' Dqlty to put
strong, resolute men to the front
In order to redeem the World from
the riithlessness and haartlessness
of the ambitious pagans that seek
to dominate the world; .that stops
not at the lives arid privilege of
men or takes heed or feeling for
the) sanctity of woman, pf course,
the Hun must be fought and must
be ovorcome and wiped off the fnca
of the'ear'th If necesanry, The onls'
way to do it ia thioiigh tho modium
of fear, and respect that Is Inntll
led by the bullet aiid the, bayonot.
That's tha : only thing that will
'bring the carnngC to a halt and It Is
such men as go to the front nud
tRese who are right at hand with
aid and encouragement that makes
success and victory . a '.possibility.,
. i From uncoiorod sources ' It ' Is
known thnt Rev. Cl.uk Is one of
the men who Is doing his part. It
Is n known fact that he has work
ed continuously to supply tha boys
on the firing lino, taking as much
of the risk as any of tho other,
to see that tho soldiers have every
comfort that can bo supplied. lie
provides them with what they wnnt
whether a cup of chocolate or a
package of cigarettes. What they
want they get as far an Rev. Ch,rh
can supply II. And thny are the.
kind of men who will win the wnr
and: make the world 'wife for men
Ptid women and children. Ills part
in the war is to ho admired ami
treasured as an example of splen
did heroism and It will he.

It Is a great privilege to he, a
eoldler In this war. The opportu
nities are as" wide open for the
men In tho ranks as for those who
may have hod the bctler advant
ages of ensy llvlug ami more rendv
means for preferment. This Is th
astounding dlffereneo between sol
diers of a free republic and the
schooled machines whose officer
are - selected from the higher-ups
and on . account of the artificial
rank which autocracy provides. The
prince Is the one. to he official!

" Burglars "Dread a Noise. :
' "Noise Is the greatest enemy of tho
burglar and Is what he most fears.
Bear that In mind If you believe n
thief has entered your home." 1
So says Frnnk McCarrlck, lieuten

In tha police department give weight
to his statements.
"The best of alarms In a household,"
he continued, "Is a gloss or chlnnwnro

"Never grapple with a midnight

. Etiquette In Mexico.
Travelers through' Mexico report
mnny peculiar customs which reflect
tho temperament' of the people. Some
of theso are founded upon supersti
tions hundreds of years old while oth
ers dnto from more recent days. Thero
1b a prevailing belief In the country
thnt there Is bnd luck In n sequence
of threes and wherever possible tho
combination of three Is avoided. This
Is shown very often to persons strange
to the land In the lighting of n cig
arette. . - , - .
. In tho United States one often sees
three men light their, pill from ono
match. It would he n gross Insult
In Mexico to offer a man n light from
a match that had alrendy started two
cigarettes going. Instead one. must
blow out tho match and give him n
light from the Ignited coffin null.
Frogs That Have Hair,
"Finer than frog hnlr" has long been
slang method of expressing tho su
perlative degree. Doubtless no one
ever gavo It n thought whether frogs
have hair or not. Probably no one
ever realized they did until Prof. O.
A. rSoulenger discovered In the Gcr.
man Congo frogs that hud growing
upon their bodies either hnlrtir a very
good Imitation of It. It has since de
veloped that anatomically. It Is not
hair, In the sense In which thnt term
nppllca to mammals. Our own hnlr Is
akin to finger nnlls; It Is a horny
gmwth, whereas the "hair" on the
African frocs Is nn abnormal devel
opment of the tubercles that appear
on the skin of the onllnnry frog. The
ordinary person, however, who places
appearance above origin, will doubtless
call it "hair."
