DOG MURNS FOR WILDING Late Tennis Flayer's Sammy I* Pet of British Soldier* on Fining Line. • To the list of strange pets kept by the British eoldiera tn the trenches must now be added the favorite dog. Simmy, of A. F. Wilding, the tennis player. Wildings friends in London knew the little Irish terrier well, for ft was the inseparable companion of the great tennis player. W'ldlug, ft seems, was killed tn hi* dugout, buried alive by a Jack J<Anaon," which pitched into the trench in which be waa on duty. The London correspondent of the Nottingham Guardian says that a private letter from the front mention* that Sammy went about the trenches whining for Wilding long after the worst was known The dog will be well looked after, for the soldiers love these pet* of the trenches. Only a few days ago soldiers of the Second Rifle Brigade rescued a little canary from a deserted house which had been almost shelled to atom*. On its cage was a ticket: ’ Please look after th* little bird " So the men carried it off with them to their trenches acd take bo end of trouble to see that ft gets groundsel and the seed Its likes. National Airs for All. The band started up one of its big strains. "There is a grand tune —Die Wacht am Rhein’ —I always like ft." said one. "But” said the other, "that Is not 'Die Wacht am Rhein," that's The Marseillaise.’ ” But ft was really “The Star-Spangled Basner* that the band was playing. The lesson is that al! patriotism is founded in an Inspiration that speaks out in a kindred note. It is like the word mother—it is nearly the same in all languages. Patriotism rightly understood is a eotnbfMtion of love, enthusiasm and co'jrage. and its expression in music shows the sane grand outburst of the heart. ■ "God Save the King” is another one. They are all part of the same inborn seetiment that belongs to all nations. We saw a man stand one time when Th* Marseillaise” was played. He made no mistake, though he thought ft was bls own country’s air.—Columbus (Ohio) Journal. Skeleton Twenty Centuries Old. An interesting discovery was tr.*de on the farm of Kelr, Belhelvie, Scotland. In the course of cultivation, in a field near by a clump of trees known as the Haircairn, an anefent grave vu discovered containing a perfect human skeleton and three urns. One of the urns was practically whole, but the other two were broken. The grave, which was about four feet long by two and one-fourth in width and depth, was composed of stout undressed slab stones. The find was ex»m!ued by Dr. Alexander Low, a pro- I fesscr of Aberdeen university, who expressed the opinion that the remains were about 2,000 years old. Nothing was found in the urns. Permission ' Is being asked to remove the relics to the university museum.

From My Narrow MH i little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER M ’ —— ’ A GLANCE BEHIND THE SCENTS. '■ -

’ I Years ago. in barefoot days, a hur-, Jry-up pleasure trip necessitated the J hurried donning of shoes and «’o k-_ ,; ings. To my consternation I found ’ , that a hole in my stocking coincided > • with a hole in my shoe leaving one little white bare toe exposed. Now. 1 ' all-barefoot-toes were nothing to he asbamed of. we thought but tny bare. ‘ ’ white toe sticking out of the shoe I 1 I was a horrible thing. (I am sorry | now to say that I didn't think the hole . i in the stacking was a matter of shame 'as long as it was hidden). Well, a 1 quick argument to myself simmered ; I down to the point that I could neither ■, waste time to change my shoes and stockings; nor brave disgrace, myself |by "going away" with the white tee j showing. Now. what do you thi'ik I did? I always was rather inger.ieus I in some things, so I got the blacking II brush and ratting in heavily ue the J black "goo” I blackened my toe as well as a lirte part of the surrounding shoe leather. I thought it was a very clever stunt; also, although I jam not a feminine George Washing- | ton, and although I do not claim in the least to be a model of virtue I when I did things that were doubtful. I I always have been the first one to |go and teil it—but most always after. ' not before Ido them. So. thinking I f had done a clever thing (but not in ' this ins tame, at least, feeling doubt - j ful about the outcome >. I went and told my mother, expecting to be pat ten on the head, and told how very. v«-ry clever I was. Did she do that? Not a bit of it’ ' There was a litlte talk on earrteasI ness in letting the holes come; a talk ion being true blue all the way : through: about keeping the “mneaa !as well as the seen in perfe< t cc nd: I tion: on being just as good on the | inside as the outside and also on the wrong of deceitfulness, in trying to cover up the imperfections by a littie blacking—a reversed “white \ sepulchre as jt were.” I was also I waltzed away to have the blacking j washed off and hanged into good shoes and stockings before I went on my pleasure trip, learning also that "haste makes waste.” • • • • . That little incident bobs into my mind, many and many a time, when I am inclined to slight my work or any of the things of life, or judging people by appearance—though I cacao! truthfully say I always heed the j lessons connected therewith. The | last time I thought of it was when | a group of us got to talking a few I -lays ago about the way cases and | eating house* have of furnishing up ! the dining rooms so fine, making | them spiek-and span, with mirror- | and marble-topped tables and fin 1 floor coverings and musk and fine .

table service ard—a hundred and <mej ’other things so seductive through the |eve We didn't ray anything about | the state of the kitcbecu because we I didn't know about that, except that j bow and then the slate inspector comes I around and there seems to be a gen-1 eral scurrying around and general j house-c leaning. • « • • Now. how would it do to reverse things. a little —pull a sort of drawstrinc. waltzing the kitchen around to the front of the house, before a large plate glass window, where all the uniformed workman could be seen—enforcing a removal of the screen ordinance all the week around? Then, let all the diners walk through: the elean, sera pilous kitchen, to the! dining room at the rear, seeing the cooks in the autcaul preparation of the' food, the immaculate dish-washers. I lifted to dignity by the inspiring at-1 mosphere and scientific method of their labor—and 111 wager that the diningroom wouldn’t need any mirrors I nor marble, nor music, nor cabaret I nor glass or silver nor tomato sauces i nor dressings of any kind to lift the diner’s appetite sky-high. The very* sight of the food in preparation would j s’irnu’ate it. Not only would a reversal of kitch I ens aad diningrooms in public dinin? houses be a pleasant inovation but also a reversal of the kitchen and parlor in the home. More and more the world; the woman's world is demanding that the kitchen, where the average . man spends mu h of her time, be just as pretty and pleasant and convenient, if not more so. than the rest of the house It can be made just as artistic and pretty to the eye as the others. I am long on having things "to match.” and I was pleasei to read that merchants are advertis ing ename! and porcelain ware ot various colors, to harmonize with any olor scheme. Floor coverings, fur njshings of various kinds, can har mor.;ze and the oid “hit ami miss' kitchen furnishing from scraps and odds and ends east off from the parlor and other rooms is going out of style." It will be a pleasant change to have the lads of the house in vite her guests into her pretty kitchen to visit with her as she works instead of stopping and taking hej into the parlor! There should be nc, more apologies offered for the kitch en than the parlor! If it is necessary wash off the blacking and change the felloes and stockings! Or. go plata. white bare-footed!
