TOLD OF VON HINDENBURO
Many Anecdotes Concerning Famous
German Strategist Ate Being
Put in Circulation.
Of the telling of anecdotes about
the doughty Field Marshal von Hin
denburg thero is no end just now in
Germany. So huge is the fam won
by the victor of Tannenberg, Lodz, and
the Masurlan lakes that anybody who
knows anything whatever about him,
important or uninportant, is hurrying
to have it printed In the German pa
pers for the delectation of Hinden.
burg devotees.
Some of tho things uneartbed must
be distinctly embarrassing to the
grim old wai (log. Fot instance. one
newspaper has discovered a poem dat
Ing from iss. written in the visitor's
book of the castle of Kynast in Si.
lesia, which is declared to be the work
of him who is now the idoi of Ger
many The poem deals with the writ
er's thoughts as he looked out from
the tower ot the castle over the land
scape spread below As might be ex
pected, Hindenburg saw in that land.
scape a possible battlefield, and wrote
to that effect. Perusal of the verses
leaves the impression that he Is bet
ter at fighting battles than writing
about them.
The field marshal's sister has also
raked up from his past a poem. This
one consists of exactly three lines,
and is of a waggish nature. His sis
ter had made a sketch of him on the
anniversary of the battle of Sedan,
showing him comfortably installed at
his Prussian home, and her brother
wrote under it the three line poem,
which humorously contrasts the ex.
citement of the day on which he took
part in that memorable battle with his
peaceful laziness on.the anniversary.
Here is another I-indenburg anec
dote recounted by his sister:
After the battle of Tannenberg last
August, when Hindenburg annihilated
a Russian army opposed to him, lie
went to church in a small village near
the battlefield. When the services
were over, hundreds of the villagers
crowded about his automobile, shout
ing their thanks to him for delivering
them from the Russian invaders. But
the victor cut short their demonstra
tions by pointing brusquely upward
with his hand and saying:
"Give thanks to him up there."
Then he signaled to the chauffeur
to speed away.
Another Shark Story.
Passengers arriving at New York by
the transatlantic liners bring strange
stories, not all of which are based on
the war. Some tine ago a shark was
swimming along in tile wake of a ship
catching all the refuse thrown over
board. One of the sailors, who had
a well-founded antipathy for all sharks,
determined to try a new method of
searing the shark away. With this
end in view he procured an alarm
clock, which lie carefully wound and
set to go off in 20 minutes. Then the
sailor tied the clock to a rope and
dropped it overboard. The shark In
stantly swallowed it. When the alarm
went off lie was truly scared. The
shark manifested this in various ways.
He first stood on his hind legs and
turned somersaults. The big fish final
ly took refuge In flight, meanwhile
lashing the water furiously with his
tail. The other (lay this same shark
was captured by the same ship. \Vhe
the monster was drawn on deck by
the triumiphiant crowv It wals discovered
that- he was the one wile hadl swal
lowed the clock. WXhen lie was cut
open the alarm wvent off again.
Canner and Commissariat.
The ui(uo plosition of the United
States as regards foodstuffs has just
been emphasized at a canners' con
ventioni ini Chicago. Famine is Im
possiblo in this country, and more
than that, at no season of the year
are its Inhabitants cut off from all
the good things nature provides for
man's sustenance. A wonderful range
of climate makes it possible to have
the year around green vegetables and
fruits growni in tile open, and at prices
in reach of the humblest pocketbook.
This is supplemented by the art or
thle canner, who successfully preserves
tile summlier's surplus boulnty against

Laws of the Ancients.
The oldest code o.f laws in thie worlId
has Jately been added~ to (lie laby
lonice collection of Yale university as5
a result of archeologieal r:e:earch. It
includes 287 sections of thie laws of
ilabylonia enYactedl durinig thie rioga
of Hamnm rabhi
Jlammurabl was a conteamporary of
Abraham, and reigned from the year
2285 to the year 2212 11. C., according
to well-authenticated records The
newly discovered laws are engraved
upon a block of dior-ite rock about
seven feet in length. Bible students
wvill be interested to kniow that this
old code contains many of the thoughts
incorporated in the Mosaic law ro.
Vealed in the book of IExodus, ,pe
cially in the twentieth and twenty-first
Cbapters, although according to ar
choogical proofs, it must have pro
coded Moses by more than two con
tuiries.
A comnplete translation of this old
code ir ;now being made, and will be
published under the auspices of the
Yale Alumni association.
