My auto ’tis of thee, short cut to poverty, of thee I shat. I blew a pile of dough on you two years ago, and now you refuse to go, or won’t or can’t. Through town or country side, you were my joy and pride, a happy day; 1 loved that gaudy hue, thy nice white tires 30 new, hut now you are down and out for true, in every way. To thee, cld rattlebox, came many bumps and knocks; tor thee 1 grieve. Badly thy top is worn, frayed are thy scats and torn, the whooping cough affects thy horn, I do believe. Thy perfume swells the breeze, while good folks choke and wheeze, as wo pass by. 1 paid for thee a price, ’twould buy a mansion twice, now every one yells “ice;" 1 wonder why? Thy motor has the grip, thy spark plug has the pip, and woe is thine. I have suffered chills, ague and kindred ills, endeavoring to pay thy bills, since thou wert mine.

AT LEAST SATISFIES HUNGER Evening Meal Served on Japanese Street Would Not, However, Appeal to the Fastidious. It was toward evening when a slovenly looking fellow with n traveling restaurant landed on the street corner, rang a little bed and announced to ull that 'he evening repast was now In readiness, says a correspondent of tho Christian Herald, Many of the poor people nowadays find It hard to buy a morsel of rice or even barley, and us a 'ast resort turn to this "macaroni" restaurant, where they are able to get a meal for one or two cents. 1 wondered if this man got his supply from the manufacturer whom 1 saw kneading the dough on a straw mat with bis feet, not a great distance away. Dipping hall after ball of tills "macaroni" Into boiling water and again in succession into separate bowls, the vendor adds a sprinkling of cheap soy and green onion cuttings and sticking into them the crudest kind of chopsticks, presents them to his miscellaneous crowd of customers. Sturdy coolies leave their cart shafts, haggard women release loads of Doxos and bundles from their backs, precocious children sorely in need of handkerchiefs and staggering under the heavy load of an often unwearied younger brother or sister, aged from two weeks to three or four years—all hollow-chested on account of excessive toil and their constant stooping posture, with great rapidity bolt down this seething mess. The noisy gulplngs and much gurgling and sucking in of the breath which so distress a Westerner may be excused by the fact that in their minds it only shows a polite appreciation of their food. SINGS IN THE FRENCH CAMPS Minstrel Employed by the Ministry of War to Encourage the Soldiers at the Front. The role that the minstrel Taillefer played at Hastings, that Roland took at Ronccvaux and Blondel filled when he found the imprisoned Coeur do Lion in an Austrian castle. Is being played in the present war oy Theodore Botrel, the Breton poet, who has been sent to the fighting line by M. Millerand, the French minister of war, to sing and recite patriotic and warlike chansons to the French soldiers, to inspire them to mighty deeds. For the last two months or more the picturesque Breton singer, with his sleek hair, his wide hat brim, his (lying ribbon and voluminous velvet breeches, looking for all the world .like the painted figure in a piece of Briton pottery, has been traveling, staff in hand, from camp to camp, entertaining the tight ing men of France with stirring ballads. Botrel’s work smacks of ancient warfare and Us customs more even than the breastplate, hand grenades and spears which have proved their value on several occasions. No one knew who thought of the plan, but, at any rate M. Millerand put it into effect, and Botrel has made a great impression upan the French armies. The soldiers are gathered together j in a big hall, an impromptu and generally insecure platform is rigged up and Botrel stands forth to recite his songs, some in the Breton dialect, others in French, but all touched with the lyric flame that carries simple words and simple thoughts straight t.O the hearts of the hearers. Signs Shot into Place. A gun which shoots signs into place has been invented, which, in appearance, is not unlike a shotgun. The sign, which it discharges, is rolled tightly about a heavy stick and a cord is attached to a tack which is temporarily fastened, point out, at one end of this. The other end of the string is fastened to the top cf the sign When the instrument is loaded with one of these and the trigger pulled, heavy springs furnish the propelling force, which sends the roll endwise through the air like an arrow, at whatever object it is aimed. The tack imbeds itself, while the jar of the impact loosens the sign and makes it unroll, falling into place. Old International Arbitration, Discussing 82 inscriptions which record settlements of disputes between the ancient Greeks and other nations, AI. N. Tod finds a system of international arbitration that will compare favorably with the modern. Tribunals were appointed by spon-1 taneous agreement, by the intervention ; of friendly powers or by compulsion, . and made decisions often on grave j questions, such as disputed territory. The use of arbitration began in the j second century B. C., and the method j was known also in Egypt and Baby- ! lonia. Sometimes it was refused and, ! as at present, it sometimes failed to effect a permanent settlement. Out of Place. Alargaret Sullivan went into a police station yesterday, began reading | the Bible to the lieutenant and was ■ taken to Bellevue for observation of her sanity-—New York Item. Which recalls Bernard Shaw’s account of the Frenchman who was caught saying Ills prayers in Westminster abbey, and thereupon charged before a magistrate with “brawling In j the abbey.” The Coward. “Has that young man given you any encouragement, daughter?” “Oh, yes, mother." “What did lie say?” “Tie asked what sort of a disposition father had.”
