There were several ladies un- j tier his care, and they all decided, for t ? want of better accommodations, * to 1 p spend the night in a freight car whictt F was at the station. Dnring the night j 7 some negro soldiers intruded, making t themselves obnoxious to the ladies. They refused to leave :when Crozier requested them to do so, whereupon . a difficulty ensued in which one of the negro troopers was slightly cut. '* vfV>o nojrrn TGff The otner mexuuoi 2> Ul bUV w iment, learning of the affair, rushed to the scene and seized Mr. Jacob S. ( | Bowers, a rial road employe, who had 1 [ just come in, and whom they mistook 1 a for the man who had injured a mem- * f ber of their command. They were 1 ft about to lynch Mr. Bowers, when t ft Crozier, who learned what was going Jf on, and that anciaer man was about K - to suffer death in his stead, came up 1 ? * wag jje -^o j J ^ HIIQ dliuv/uu^vu av> > t "had wounded the negro.

There have been many remarkable cures of soldiers during the present war, including men who, through shock have lost the powers of sight or of hearing or of speech. One man, struck flumb at Mons, was suddenly cured by putting his hand unconsciously on a very hot water-pipe. Another regained both speech and hearing while laughing at a moving-picture show. A third, by no means the least interesting, regained his speech through his own deliberate effort. The doctor told him before leaving Boulogne that only his own effort could cure him. He suggested that he keep on shaping his mouth as though pronouncing the vowels. The man persevered, and one night suddenly found he could speak. He kept on talking to himself all night, lest he should lose the power again. His fears were unfounded, and he was completely cured. It is all very curious. The need for the patient's own deliberate effort is certainly suggestive. It calls to miad the case of mors fhes withprf?d BV luc; iuua vvxcxa iitv his own effort was he healed. By attempting things in faith, slumbering powers are wakened to new life.?Exchange. # * Food Economy. The advice of Herbert C. Hoover re-1 garding food economy is superfluous tc certain denizens of the Bronx in New York. It was on an express subwaj train to that borough that one underground commuter read with seeming irreverence the rnles for saving the odd ends in the kitchen. " 'Keep the ice box clean,'" he read to a companion. "Why, say, my ice box is cleaned out every night before I even get a whack at it, and I have to send out to the delicatessen foi py dinner. And look at these rules for economy. Take it from me there'^ only one way to ecpnomize these days. Send the wife and th? young 'uns oe. a visit to the kinfolks, put the dog on half rations and gc home for dinner with anybody whe asks you." Soldiers Fool Bootblacks. - - - - t -1 Three invalid soldiers in wneei i r?airs propelled themselves rapidly j hroush a crowded railway station lore to a bootblack stand and denanded that their shoes be shlned in a lurry. Three bootblacks rushed forvard, pulled aside the coats thrown >vtn* th^ laps of the soldiers, and found h;it tv.'o of the men had no legs, while he third had only one. The soldiers ai:r:hed uproariously, the crowd jcinng in the demonstration of mirth.?

COLLIDED WTH A BUMBLEBEE 1 Aviator Finds There Are Other Things Besides Airplanes That it Is Not Safe to Encounter in the Air. j 1 Birds and airplanes are not the onlj? flying things with which it is possibly for an aviator to have a serious col? lision. The author of "Tales of the! Flying Service" gives as an Instance a strange accident that occurred in Trance. Not long ago, he says, I ran across an aviator I know, looking very much, annoyed and with one eye seriously] obstructed by a large contused swell* j ing on his cheekbone. Thinking that| I he had had a smash of some kind, i probably a bad landing in wThicii he had been pitched against the front of his machine, I asked him what had happened. He explained that about six hours ! earlier he was starting out on a fastj biplane, and was going full speed] en the ground In order to get a goodj Jump Into the air, when he met a large-, sized bumblebee going in a hurry in' the opposite direction. "You see," he explained, "I was do-. ing about sixty knots due east, and he was doing between thirt^five and forty knots due west, and he was a| large bee, and the impact was something terrific. And," he added vindictively, "I hope he has spilled all his honey and that he's still unconscious!"?Youth's Companion.
