FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1919 ~ GAVE THANKS FOR ARMIST CE Fervent Gratitude to God Was Pint Thought of thd Gallant Dofenders of Verdun. \r The artillery tire died out. and there was a pause that seemed like the sudden end of the world. Tl i from the 40 bells. hi?;h In the towers of the old catnetirai at Verdun. pealed forth those silvery tones that proclaimed again. 'Teaee on earth." The artnistlre lia?l come. Slowly the great doors of the en thedral opened and in rushed OtX) allied soldiers. 1 Vet or Maimer ..f the Ued Triangle, says a rlier in Association Men. quietly walked to the altar rail and knelt there. Captuitis. lieutenants c and soldiers reached t'or the hell roja's, iff id he feared the opportunity for religious service was lost. Hut they saw the lonely figure and came into the choir space. As he rose ail was quiet. "Itoys," he said, "I believe we all want to sing and that we ought to singthe IVxology." At Its close Doctor Matirer raised his hands, and Mohammedans. Catholics. Protestants and .lews bowed th>"?r heads and fell on their knees. Amid the ruins soldiers knelt? Mohammedans bumping their heads on the stones. Catholics devoutly crossing themselves, and .lews and Protestants with hands clasped, faces shilling and eyes lifted. Doctor Maurer led in that everwonderful prayer. "Our Father Which Art In Heaven." He then suggested that the Americans sing. "My Country. Tis of Thee." while the Knglish sang "Cod Save the King." At the close of the sing tig the French soldiers pushed for ward and sang, as only Frenchmen can sing, the "Marseillaise." The French general came forward and took Doctor Maurer's hands. "1 want to thank you." he said, "for leading these men on this occasion of grace to offer praise to God for the deliverance of France and for the safety of the world." ni n YllRKIQU TOinc I MAUL UI1IUIO Jullds Formed of Member* of Various .

Organized for the common benefit as traders or workers. the members of the guilds are admitted Irrespective of race or religion so long as they follow that particular occupation. The business of the organization Is comluotod In lodges, the officers of which have been held responsible f'?r the good behavior of members. Although future conditions In Constantinople will doubtless modify them, the esnafs will probably continue to he a power. Woman's Gift of Instinct. A celebrated lecturer In giving an Informal talk to a number of women on ethics ufartled his audience, who fairly bristled with rage, when he announced that he did not think women possessed any reasoning powers at all. "But," he continued, "you have what Is far better?an Instantaneous appreciation." This wonderful gift of Instinct said to belong to womankind, and seldom appraised at Its true value by the socalled stronger sex. I* certainly heaven sent. No amount of eultivit tioii win develop It. Tor It Is Involuntary and la not the result of reasoning, but entirely Independent of It. Whera a man will exert all his mental facultiea In revolving round and round a subject. looking at it from every point of view, thinking perhaps that he la using calm, cool Judgment, be may. nine times out of ten, make a mistake, when a woman's unerring instinct leaps at one bound to the right conclusion. / Orchid Hard to Securo.

Heretofore when one spoke of the presidential range everyone ? every New Knglander. at least?knew, w.'hout further particularizing, that Mount Washington and Its attendant suinnj.ts was the subject, writes Allen Chamberlain in the Ronton Kvening Transcript. Henceforth one must needs he more specific, since during the last year a rival presidentii?L range ha* appeared on the inn 1 in Wvniont. That region h'.llierto generally spoken of as the It rein I I.oaf Mountain section, lying between Middlohury gap and the I n Coin-Warren pass, wa- hut little known, except In its southerly portion, until the Oreen Mountain club men ran their Skyline trull through. They found there a maze of unnamed summits grouped as In council, and seemingly worthy of being recognized as Individuals of distinction. Just north of these heights ts the rugged mass whose summits have been known for more than half ? century as Mounts Abraham and Lincoln, cjuite naturan.v the Idea of a new presidential range arose and. with great partisan restraint, four of the neighboring mountains were therefore named Mount Grant, Mount Grover t'leveland, Mount Roosevelt and Mount Woodrow Wilson.

I reran a funny motoring Incident that might have turned out decidedly otherwise if it had not been for s mere cnance, writes a correspondent. It occurred In the country during the early spring A young fellow and his sisteg were returning in the wee small hoars from a dan?-e in a neighboring town. He was driving a flivver. They were both very tired, and finally they both dropped off to sleep. It so happened that late the day before a heavy farm wagon had passed that way, leaving deep ruts in the mud. und during the evening these had frorI n soiid. The car got Into these ruts and ran a'.or.g them with no one guiding It for some time. The tra-'ks turned several corners and finally fumed into a farmyard and went Into the barn. The fllv turned the corners and followed the tra> ks into the yard. It was going straight on and would have smashed Into the barn door had not the girt waked In time to v*e the building iooming up Just In front of them. Realizing the situation immediately, she Jammed on the brake and stopped the car a few feet from the closed doof. 1 am assured that this Is a perfectly true story.

"No one in any country." lie remarked the other day. standiffg among his chickens, "ha* fought >o many duels as M'sieu Clemenceau. They came from what he wrote in his paper. But he was so strong. He always won. No adversary could hold a sword against him. "It was against the law. of course." added the old Frenchman, seventytwo now, in a whisper, "so we always slipped out of the city for these fights." M'sieu Thlen's cab stand used to he !6 front of LTntrasigeant. Clemenceau's paper. Almost nightly, he says, the present premier would come out of his office and hail cab h<>88. "He got the name Tiger.'" M Th'.en explains, "because he was always the boss, like the big striped eat Is the boss of all anlmuls. "Ah. my friend, those were the happy days! Of course I will not insult my chickens. They are good ones, as chickens go. But It is a tame life here.

"They were given laboratory 'durability runs." after which they wcrf autopsled by the rubber specialists. Their carcasses' were nit upand the pieces boiled. rousted, stretched. The results were discouraging Kven the best of t hem seemed to suffer front Improper 'toughening ' "So into Lhelr little rubber-mill went the experts, with notes furnished them by the tire manufacturers, and proceeded to make up some tire rubber which had the proper degree of tough- , ness. They succeeded. They passed out the word: "The trouble Is that you makers are not sifting your r.lnc oxld before mixing It with the rubber com pound.' "The makers began to sift.

His last years were unharnessed by criticism and attended by all the honor and love that shonld accompany genius combined with old age. As the child of poor, shiftless parents, he had little Instruction and few associates but his dramatic Instinct was developed by Fontaine and the Arabian Nights and th? visit of a theatrical company to hit native city led hhn to seek his dramatic fortune In Copenhagen, where for four years he worked dillgentlv but produced nothing of note.
