FEW SPIES SHOT.
Bmfc the Germans Had 3,700 in Pari'
Ihiring the War.
Paris was filled with paid Germai
pies during the war, but only forty
4ve of them were court-martiallec
and shot, according to Col. Emih
Massard, who commanded the count
er-spy section in the Paris region uj
to the armistice, sayg a Parish dis
patch to the N. Y. Herlad. Col. Mas
?ard recently described the thrilling
career and the punishment of th<
dancer Mali-Hari, who was convict
d of being a spy for the enemy an(
was executed by the French.
To-day the Liberte prints the firs
of a series of narratives by Col. Mas
ard, not only telling how the Ger
man spies worked, but showing 'bov
they neglected tiny details of theii
cheme, thereby enabling the Frencl
army's counter espionage service tc
bring them to justice?in one cast
just in time to prevent the dynamiting
of the Hotel des Invalides, and
numerous apartments near by, occupied
by military authorities.
At one time, according to Col. Massard,
the espionage service directed
from Berlin the operations of more
than 8,000 hired girls, placed in various
hotels and cafes; 700 ex-officers
in French business houses, 50 beautiful
Prussian girls in the army canteens
in French garrison towns and
200 specially selected servants assigned
to the homes of the bourgeois,
as far as possible in contact with officers
of the French army. Their reports
reached Berlin after passing the
inspection and receiving the approval
of master German spies in Brussels,
Amsterdam, Geneva and Lausanne.
Just to give an example of how intricate
a problem it was to catch these
spies, once the war was declared, ColMassard
recounts the visit of a dashing
young officer, wearing the tabs of
the French General Staff, who arrived
early one morning at the artillery
park in Paris. When the commandant
of the park was notified he decided to
investigate personally and found the
officer examining anti-craft and other
guns with the precision of an expert.
The commandant shrewdly asked
the visitor to aid him in counting the
weapons aloud. Although the latter
aeemed to scent danger, he could not
refuse such a simple request. When
he called out the number "twentyninth"
((vingtneuvieme) the peculiar
combination of two "v's with a
"t" in the middle proved his undoing,
for the combination is one the German
tongue is unable to master, inivariably
pronouncing the second "v"
as an "f". With a shout of rage the
commandant felled his visitor and
turned him over to the guard, who
discovered hidden in the visitor's
boot a certificate identifying him as
a German officer. A hasty courtmartial
followed and within a few
minutes the spy was bound to the
execution post.
Importance of the Comma.
We all remember the smart school
boy who wrote in bold hand on the
blackboard: "Bill Smith Says Teacher
id a Fnnl'" The tpanher. and no
doubt a good one, surveyed the legend
with complacency. The boys
watching with much interest the outcome,
saw their mentor take a piece
of chalk, and nonchalently place a
comma after Smith and teacher. Lo
*nd behold. "Bill Smith, Says Teacher,
is a Fool!"
The comma within itself is a very
humble mark of punctuation, but has
a world of meaning when properly
or improperly placed. Once a printer
set up a poster to advertise an address
by a militant suffragette. Her
subject was, "Woman: Without Her,
Man Would be a Savage." When the
speaker called for the posters the
proofreader had to leave town suddenly
for the flaming sheets said:
"Woman, Without Her Man, Would
be a Savage."?Monroe (N. C.) Enterprise.

-To take a problem by the horns
and master it is a fine lesson. The
home and the school should teach
children self-help and self-reliance.
Idleness is a curse. Keep at it. Do

Preach and practice clean living.
Have a calling. Don't drift. Quit
pulling at the old man's coat-tails
and refining his pocketbook. Stand
on your own legs. Live on your owe
resources and labors. Have a purpose
If you are living too fast stop before
you lose your credit and your honor
Crooks are never happy because ever
erooks have tried and they know the
public 'has a contempt for them
Don't be a grouch. Start at once t(
save something regardless of hart
times. Fear debts. Interest work!
while you sleep, ride or loaf. Don'
"be a drag on the community. Be i

NEW YORKERS BURN WOOD
Builders Besieged by Householders
Asking For Old Lumber.
Householders in all parts of New
York, according to the observations
of policemen, are collecting a great
deal of firewood this fall, says the
New York Times. This is taken to indicate
that many of them are anticipating
a coal shortage during the
coming winter.
In backyard sections everywhere it
is a common sight to see the male
members of the family busily engaged
in splitting boards and lumber
into kindling wood. This firewood,
as a householder expressed it, is not
intended to supplant coal, but to help
save it.
"At this time last year," a builder
said, "I used to give wood away occasionally
when I was tearing down
or repairing old buildings. I used to
1 _ 'WaoH criven
<nang out a sis" 1caum6l
away free for the asking.' My ouly
stipulation was that persons applying
for it should cart it away themselves,
It may surprise you when I tell you
that wood often went begging. It is
quite different this year. I do not have
to hang out a sign; every day I am besieged
by men, women and children
soliciting old lumber for firewood.
There are so many of these applicants
that I have to turn most of them
away.
"I am sure that this demand for
firewood means that much more wood
is going to be burned in the fires this
winter than in the past."
Both Balled Up.
At a political gathering in England
an orator waxing indignant, said:
"To ridicule the idea of this country
being invaded is to follow the example
of the camel, which buries its
head in the sand when an enemy approaches."
The rival speaker rose
and retorted: "Surely the gentleman
in giving utterance to this apothegni,
must have meant to refer to tne ostrich,
which, in those circumstances,
has a habit of putting its eye through
a needle."

VICTIMS OF MORBID CRAVINGS
"Sensation Mongers" Must Have Excitement.
The case of anonymous letter writing
reported from the French town of
Tulle affords a typical illustration of
the methods of the "sensation monger."
Missives making accusations of
infidelity have caused the deaths of
two persons in an asylum and brought
misery into several homes.
This is precisely the result desired
by the writer of the slanders. Making
a sensation is the very height of
enjoyment among a large number of
morbid persons. The human craving
for excitement is entirely normal, but
in its pathological and criminal manifestations
it often leads to tragedy.
The majority of young children delight
in sensational mongering. A lie
of imagination is the commonest form
of juvenile unveracity.
A little girl who "sees" bears and
wolves in a coppice near her home invents
stories of hair-raising sensa-j
tionalism concerning the fierceness of
the animals. Another girl declares
she sees big eyes in the stem of an
oak tree. A boy, twelve years old, arriving
at a boarding school, told his
companions of the dormitory that he
had flown the first airplane from
Buckingham palace and had been
personally complimented by the king.

considers him sufficiently promising
