A T.ueh of Nature That Halttd War's Carnage For a Moment. A day wns dawning on a battlefield In northern France through a fog so thick thst none could see more than few yards from the tren.'hes. In the night the Germans had drawn back their lines a little, and the French had closely advanced, but between the two positions a lone farmbonse was still standing. Aa the sun rose and the fog cleared and the gunners found their ranges, heavy guns began to boom and answer back. Thus began the old, old wearisome story of day after day of desolation and death. But suddenly on both sides the Bring ceased, and there fell a peculiar dead stillness. Midway between tbe trenches), near tbe now shattered farmhouse, there was no, It must be Impossible, It must be a delusion! But no there In tbe green meadow, crawling on Its hands and knees, wss a little child, a mere baby. It appeared ;erfectly hap py and contented, and In the sudden dumbness ef tbe soldiers the baby's laugh was beard as It clutched at a dandelion. Not a sound wss heard but thst; not a shot was fired; scarcely did a soldier on either side dare breathe. Suddenly a soldier Jumped out of a German trenrb and ran to where the child was crawling. He tenderly took It up and tarried It back to shelter. From the trenches of the French there came no shots, but there rang along both lines a mighty cheer. But soon, alas, the guns were boom ing again and answering back, and tbe flowering bit of meadow was plowed by shells, for wsr Is war, and men must not long yield to pity. Christian Herakl. -v The Ladysmlth Smelter syndicate which has been negotiating for sev ers! mouths for the purchase of the Blue l.ciUe mine, haa announced that the dual la off. , The reason of the failure to make the deal Is given as the "Imposition of such onerous terms and condi tions" by the Towne estate, owners of the property, thut negotiations were abandoned for the' purchase of the property. The resumption ot copper mining In the Towne proper ties In Mexico Is said to have made the owners Indifferent as to whether the Blue l.edge was sold or not, The failure of the deal Is a disap pointment to Medford mining In terests, as a sale meant the develop ment of the mine upon a large scale. T AT Robert Doyle, a traveling salon- man for the Mason-Ehrman Co., re siding nt Medford, was verlously in jured In an automobile accident near Roseburg last Might.

Why Thty Have Grssn Basks, Why tbe United States banknotes are printed with green backs Is not generally known, althoiiKh there la a most excellent reason for It. The great drawback to paper currency, tciyg tbe Baltimore American, Is the likelihood of its being counterfeited, and there fore exerts are constantly at fork to contrive ways of making It Impossible to copy such bills. Stacy J. Edson was the man who In 1857 Invented the green Ink that Uncle Bam uses on bis bank bills. The ink. which was patented, Is anti-photo-grnplilc tbnt Is, It cannot bo photo graphed, nor can counterfeiters In try ing to get a facsimile of the notes move It with alkaline. Tbe secret of the In gredients of the Ink of course la care fully preserved. Job work at tte Courier.
