by the people who had turned down
the bond laaue he waa in honor
bound to vote agalnet the state bonds
Later, when the state bonding meas­
ure was before the people, Jones sup­
ported it as a citizen and actually
voted for It.
As speaker of the house, Jones
would represent the entire state and
not simply the county which elected
him. Representing the entire state,
it would seem that he would have
scope for exercising his influence In
favor of constructive good roads leg­
islation instead of feeling bound to
work for what the majority of the
voters of his county have gone on
record
repeatedly
as opposing.
Should he appoint Dennis as roads
chairman, he will have done much to
give good roads legislation a start.
Dennis has long been known widely
as an aggressive advocate of good
roads. He is president of the Yambill
County Good Roads Association, and
one of the organizers and leaders of
the West Side Highway Association.
He campaigned vigorously and effec­
tively for the state bonding act. He
is a man of affairs, of large business
experience, who has traveled the
state and who is unusually well ac­
quainted with the needs of various
counties. His appointment would
give heart to good roads men, who
generally have feared that Jones'
election as speaker would spell the
doom of ggood roads cause in the
next session.

The fall of 1918!
Searchlights play upon a crossroad
not far from Sedan. Into the zone of
light three limousines came creeping
under white flags of truce. They bear
a German delegation seeking an arm­
istice.
The Germans are met with every
courtesy. French officers enter their
cars to guide them over the dark
roads until Chateau Frankfort, in
the forest of Compiegne. is reached.
Here a stop is made for the night.
And the next day they move to Sen-
lis, where in a railway car sits the
maker of history.
As the Germans enter the car he
rijjes to meet them.
“What do you wish gentlemen?”
His voice is tense but calm.
‘We have come, marshal, to arrange
terms of an armistice.”
His reply we do not know. It may
have been:
"The terms gentlemen, already
have been arranged."
Then he reads to them the program
agreed upon by the allies. No more
crushing ultimatum ever had been
delivered to a power by Its trium­
phant enemies.
* As he read there was no tone of
exultation in the voice of this wiry,
ailver haired man. There was no at­
tempt at vain triumphing. But way
down in his heart was stamped the
burning picture of another surrend­
er. when he had stood among the
vanquished.
For the man who read to Germany
the terms of surrender, which she
must accept, and the freshly com­
missioned cadet of the emperor’s
staff at Sedan, was the name of
Ferdinand Foch, today a Marshal of
France and generalissimo of allied
armies.

Marshal Foch's Revenge.
(Boston Globe)
It was the early fall of 1870.
Along a road of Northern France
that led out of the old fortress of Se­
dan an open carriage passed. Before
it rode a guard, helmeted, with shin­
ing arms and gayly pennanted lances.
Behind it rode officers in French
uniform. Again, further in the rear,
steel helmeted Prussian hussars,
clattering in solid array.
In the carriage, thus guarded, sat
Napoleon III., Emperor of France.
He was going to meet the king of
Prussia at Chateau Bellevue, to sur­
render his sword and liis armies
Great physical suffering was writteji
upon his face, the deep lines telling
of a grievious illness which was fast
bringing him to the grave. But the
mental suffering of the day was
greater.
Followed by the officers of his
staff, Napoleon III entered the salon
of the chateau, where the Prussian
leaders awaited him. The German offi­
cers rose courteously, as custom dic­
tated, and stood at attention as the
emperor faced them. The King of
Prussia alone remained seated. Arro­
gantly he looked up at the man whose
honored guest he had been in Paris
not long before.
Bent with pain, Napoleon III drew
his blade and presented the hilt.
“Sir, here is my sword,” he said.
“I take it,” the churlish Prussian
answered. Then he added. .‘‘I give it
back to you.”
The officers of the emperor’s staff
drew deep breaths, and their eyes
flashed fire. It was the tone of
speech that stung them.
“He clearly meant I’ll take care of
you,” said one of the emperor’s staff,
years afterward. The officer was al­
most a boy at the time of the sur­
render, fresh from St Cyr, the West
Point of France. Into his impression­
able heart th® scene at Chateau Bel­
levue burned itself. He never forgot
it, nor the words of‘the Prussian
king.
The king was grandfather of Wil­
liam Hohenzollern, former kaiser of
Germany.

Sifter Smith was called upon for
testimony in a revival meeting. She
humbly declined in these words:
"I have been a transgressor and a
black sheep for a good many years
and have only recently seen the
light. I believe that my place is in a
dark corner behind the door.”
Brother Jones was next called upon
following sister Smith’s meek ex­
ample, he said:
"I too. have been a sinner for more
than forty years, and I do not think
I ought to stand before you as a
model. I think my place is behind
the door, in a dark corner, with sis­
ter Smith.”-—Ladies Home Journal.

ple on the Earth.
The greatness of France lies tn her
sense of tbe beauty and Importance
of living. As life Is an art In France,
so woman is an artist. She does not
teach man, but she inspires him. And
as the French woman of the bread-win­
ning class Influences her husband, and 1
he regards her judgment and her
wishes, the same is similarly true of I
the French woman of the rich and ed- i
nested class, the French woman of
leisure. But in this world her influ­
ence naturally t^nds much farther.
The more flvlllzed a society Is the
wider Is the range of each woman’s
Influence over men, and of each man’s-
Influence over women. Intelligent and'
cultivated people of either sex will not |
limit themselves to communing with I
their own households. Men and wom­
en equally, when they have the range
of Interests that real cultivation gives,
need the stimulus of different points
of view, the refreshment of new Ideas
Its well as of new faces.

en can doubt Hint their great Influence

NO OBSTACLE DAUNTS RATS
Rodents In Norway, When Setting Out
to Exile, Have Never Been Known
to Turn Aside.
The rats of Norway employ a re­
markable method to avoid a famine.
When starvation threatens, those that
nre chosen for exile assemble In count­
less thousands In the mountain valleys
leading to the plains and pour across
the country in a straight line, which Is
often more than a mile In length.
They devour every green thing In their
path, anil the country through which
they pnss looks as If it had been
plowed or burned with Are.
They march principally by night
and during the morning, resting In
the afternoon. No matter how abun­
dant the food may be In any particu­
lar locality they do not seek to settle
In It, for their destination is the sea,
and nothing animate or Inanimate, If It
can be surmounted, retards the ad­
vance.
Foxes, lynxes, weasels, kites and
owls hover on the rodents’ line of
march and destroy them by the hun­
dreds.
The fish In the rivers and
lakes take their toll of them, too, but
the survivors press onward.
Little New In Warfare.
The use of asphyxiating gas Is a
very ancient device. Smoking out the
enemy was one of the regular maneu­
vers of war In antiquity, says the Sci­
entific Monthly, Polybius relates that
at the siege of Ambracla by the Ro­
mans under Marius Fulvius Nobllor
(B. C. 189) the Aetollans filled jars
with feathers, which they set on fire,
blowing the smoke with bellows into
tbe faces of the Romans In the coun­
termines. At the great naval battle
fought tn the waters of Ponza between
Alfonso of Aragon and Genoa In I486
the Genoese carried vessels filled with
quicklime and . redhot cinders, tbe
simgks from which was b|own by the
fvlnd arafysj Hip enemy, Uwpyifo da
Vinci, who among nis many other a?
compllshments was a notable military
engineer, suggested the use of poison­
ous powders, such as yellow arsenic
and verdigris, to be thrown from the
topmasts of ships so as to choke the
enemy. This formed a part of the
war Instructions given by Leonardo to
the republic of Venice In 1499, when
the Turks bad passed the Isonzo and
threatened St. Mark’s.

The practice of clasping or joining
right hands as a pledge of sincerity
or as a seal of a promise Is of very
early origin. The apostle Paul, In his
epistle to the Galatians, says: "And
when James, Cephas and John, who
seemed to be pillars, perceived the
grace that was given unto me, they
gave to me and to Barnabas the right
hands of fellowship; that we should
go unto the heathen.’’ In this case,
•vldently, a friendly agreement was
ealed by giving the right hands of
fellowship. From this the custom of
living the right hand of fellowship

liroughout Christendom and joining
Ight hands became a part of the
'liristlan marriage ceremony. The
ustotu of hand shaking certainly ex­
isted Itefore Shakespeare’s duy. for he
refers to It many times as a kind of
pledge or social greeting. It Is not
confined to English-speaking nations.
“When I was a very young man I
was tilled with superstitious ideas,”
said a "globe trotter.” "They werd
thoroughly dispelled from my mind,
however, after a visit to Japan. In
that country there is a superstition
surrounding practically everything.
The Japanese housewife, for Instance,
will never sweep out a room Immedi­
ately after anyone has left it, for fear
of driving away the luck. At a Japa­
nese marriage it Is not considered
wise for either the bride or bride­
groom to wear purple. It Is held
that purple Is a color likely to fade
and that the marriage will not be of
long duration.
Perhaps the stran­
gest ideas are those which prevail with
regard to finger nails.
“Tbe Japanese believe that the cut­
ting of finger nails before starting on
a journey will bring misfortune to
the traveler when he reaches his des­
tination. The howling of • dog al­
ways causes considerable perturba­
tion, for it signifies death. It Is a
serious matter for a woman to step
over an eggshell. It is the belief of
tbe country that if she does so she
will go mad. There Is a great fear of
ghosts in Japan and many of the na­
tives keep lights burning throughout
the night In the belief that the flame
will drive them away. One of the su­
perstitions Is put to practical use.
Japanese children are told that if they
tell a lie an Imp will pull out their
tongues."
CITY IN BEAUTIFUL SETTING
First Sight of Constantinople Cannot
Fail Ao Impress Even the Most
Satiated Globe Trotter.
However mnny descriptions of Con­
stantinople may have been read or
heard previously, the actual sight of
It must certainly come to every one
with a feeling almost of astonishment
at the sheer beauty of the place.
Certainly it can be a matter of sur­
prise to no one that Constantine chose
Byzantium as the spot from which to
rule the East for surely no city ever
hud a more mugnlflcent situation.
Whether seen from the deck of the
steamer, as It nears Constantinople,
coming up from the sea of Mainora,
or’froni the head of the Golden Horn,
or from the heights of Pera opposite,
or even from the Galata bridge, Stam­
boul, rising from the brilliantly blue
waters which surround It on three
sides, must always take first place for
loveliness among al) the beautiful
cities of the world. In May, when all
the Judas trees are a mass of pinkish
blossom and the wistaria hangs In
pendant pale mauve masses above the
narrow streets between the old wood­
en houses, Stamboul Is perhaps beauti­
ful above all months In the year.
Mexico Had Printing Press In 1537.
Mexico had a printing press «bout a
hundred years earlier than the Unit­
ed States, or, to be exact, In 1537. The
—‘
first works printed upon It were nat-
uraly by authors born in Spain who
Itad come to America. The claim that
the first book by a native-bosn Ameri­
can was written by a ^lexlqan, ajd
struck from this pr^ss, has stood un­
disputed for many years. Recently a
Crftèr of Santo Domingo has been’
brought forward as the first American
author, An article in a recent
Ber of thè new monthly ma gazi r
ter-Am erica, presents a well docu­
mented discussion of the relative
claims, in which the author concludes
that the honor still remains with
Mexico.
The first book, in his finding, by a
native American author was printed
by Juan de Leon, In Sevilla, In the
year 1594. There exist copies of this
priceless edition In the collection of
the Hispanic Society of America, in
New York, Iq that of the Duke de
T^erclne^ fcttylSl.
When Alchemy Flourished.
The cult of alchemy was at its zenith
during the fourteenth, fifteenth, and
sixteenth centuries, holding the place
with many that religion did with oth­
ers. People believed Implicitly In the
existence of the philosopher’s stone,
and pinned their faith to Its potency
to an incredible extent. It was, of
».•¿“P1/ 11 mailer Of Suggestion accept­
ed by those who were on the outlook
for the means of Increasing wealth.
And there were many who drew no
distinction between the philosopher’s
stone, which was supposed to have
the power of transmuting the base Into
the noble metals, and whaj was called
the elixir of life, a substance which
would promote and preserve health
and IncFerixe longevity. Thus the ap­
peal was nlso made to credulity
through the desire for health and the
fear of disease.
Measuring the Height of Clouds.
A scientist attached to one of the
burenus at Washington has been en­
gaged In measuring the height of
clouds by photography. HI mu I tn ne­
ons pictures of n cloud were made by
two enmeras placed 6(10 feet apart and
connected by telegraph wires. From
tbe amount of displacement of the
Cloud caused by viewing It alternately
Cyom each end of the 600-foot base line
Its height could be calculated. Some
of the "mackerel sky” clouds photo­
graphed were seven and n quarter
miles high. The loftiest clouds whose
elevation was thus measured belonged
to the type known as cirrus, or “curl
cloud,” the height of which was a lit­
tle more than seventeen miles.
