Kohl was the only American to he burled In a cem etery holding 32,000 Russians and Rou manians. "Nine Russians were buried In the one grave with Kohl.

It must lie' the censor's office hoy who Is responsible for some of the va garies of the blue pencil. Not long ago some patriotic soul quoted Kipling's line from the "Recessional," "The cap tains nnd the kings depart." He had the surprise of his life when the word "kings" was struck out. Km worse Is now reported. Another scribe, grently daring In the meatless days, quoted Thomas Hood's joke In an ar ticle on "Wayside Craves," or some thing equally solemn : "So they buried Ken at four cross roads With a stake In his Inside." That was too much for the censor's office hoy. A stake In his Inside, In deed. The censor's office boy knew If he knew how to spell that the food controller would never sanction a whole "steak" a nice, succulent, juicy steak, In anybody's Inside. So be de leted the offending lines. Who shr.ll say that we are not ardently patri otic people? London News. Judging by reports fronj abroad the soldier's query DOW is "When do we go from here?" Papyrus on Which the Desires of Utah Were Recorded Has Recently Been Discovered In a Good State of Preservation. Utah, the Egyptian, looked out from beneath his shaggy eyebrows across the Nile, where the eternal Pyramids shimmered in the heat against the cloudless sky. Gods of Egypt! How dim were those piles of stone! In the bright light of the sun god, Ra, he should have seen those man-made mountains clearly. Shades of his ancestors! Ills eyes were dimming fast! He was getting old very old, so he suddenly realized. He looked into the basin of the foun tain In the courtyard. The image re flected made him conscious, for the first time, of his swiftly approaching end. He sank down upon the foun tain's rim and mused ipon the short ness of life, Its varying fortunes and the prospects af the future life ac cording to the beliefs of himself and his fathers. Ah, well, he was ready to die. He did not fear after death to take the journey with the sun god, Ra, in the Boat of a Million Years to the Fields of Peace. No, by Amen, the god of Thebes! Had not Utah led a good life? Yes, he had always been just, mer ciful and kind to his servants and his household. They had lacked nothing while he lived, nor had his wife, Shef tu, the daughter of Sat Sepdu. But, after he was gone ah, Phara oh, the great one who gives life to his people would his memory be suffi cient to keep her from want or mis treatment? Would she ever be set out of the great stone house as the wid ows of others had been in the past? A chill, sharper even than the chill of old age, shook him. It was the chill of fear for his beloved. Then a happy thought warmed his veins again. The people of his household and his city ever had listened and obeyed his spoken and written word during his life. His words by voice or writing were considered authority and whole somely respected. Doubtless, then, would his written words be followed when he was in the Fields of Peace. Strange, neither he nor anyone else had thought of such a thing before. So with reeds, fluid and papyrus he wrote in beautiful picture writing. That happened more than "1,800 years ago. However, the papyrus has kept in a good state of preservation all those centuries and was recently discovered by excavators. Translated, It proved to be the will or legacy of Utah, allowing his wife, "Sheftu, daughter of Sat Sepdu of Gesab," four Eastern slaves and "the right to dwell in my house without allowing her to be put forth on the ground by any per son." The "will" is considered by authori ties to be the first ever drawn. Buttons and the War. Buttons are not generally regarded as one of the great articles of com merce, yet a report Issued by the fed eral tariff commission presents some astonishing figures regarding the mag nitude of the button Industry and the capital invested therein. There are more than 500 button manufacturing establishments in this country, representing a capital of ap proximately $20,000,000 and an annual payroll of $8,000,000. The annual value of the products Is more than $20,000,000. NjejjLj'ork has almost half the factories, huSthc middle West sup plies most of ySi fresh-water pearl. The war firfs put up the price of but tons, owing to the advance in the cost of metals used in button manufacture, nnd the Increased price of celluloid sheets and all subsidiary raw materi als, such as dyes, chalk, acids and can vas. It Is Interesting to learn that the war has stimulated the business in this country and has led to the manu facture of glass buttons, which former ly were Imported another Instance of beating Germany at its own game.

"We've got to conserve," she said cheerfully to another woman who held a scat for her, as she tumbled into a seat, making dive at the same time for an evening paper that some one had left lying there. "Is this yours? No?
