FRENCH BUT NOT FICKLE. ' A congress of the French language recently held in Quebec has given in tense satisfaction to those who took part in it. They feel that the French-speaking people of America have attested their; devotion to their mother tongue in a manner which promises well for the permanence of the French language in countries where English predominates. ' The attendance was verv lnr

and about 140,000 persons who did not go to Quebec gave at least a little assistance to the cause in other ways. It was no light matter for many of the delegates to go to the

famous old city on the St. Lawrence,

but Louisiana,' far away, sent many ardent advocates of the maintenance

and safeguarding of the French lan guage in America.

All of which, like the .French

opera In New Orleans and the condi

tion of the greater part of the big

province of Quebec .shows how re

mote from fickleness certain phases

of the French character are. As

rule, French Canada la so far from

being led captive by the latest whim

change old customs and ideas.

we are prone to judge people

witnout a full knowledge f the facts. We make an estimate of a man without taking into consideration all of the forces and influences

that have been at work in his life and think we have taken his full measure Adolph Hufenhauser, apparently, was a greedy, self-centered, highly avaracious individual. Jle lived alone and, spurning the society of men, he was avoided by them. But the story of Hufenhauser goe3 farther back than that. He was a normal young man In the years before the war. He loved Johanne Wanzel with a love as ardent as that of any lover today. His life was full of sentiment then, t And then came tfce bitter dlsaji-,

years and mav never be kowa.

Hufenhauser went to war where

he did valiant service. That he was intensely patriotic is shown by the fact that a small American flag was hung over the straw covered bench

on which he lay expecting the spark of life to pass out. Pictures' of war

heroes and the presidents adorned the walls.

NEW PRESS WORK.

oooa press agent work deserves

recognition. Here is a sample: Boston. .July 19. The old British convict ship Success, the oldest craft afloat, is at anchor near the East Boston Flats today after a stormy voyage of ninety days with a mutinous crew and short of rations. The famous .ship, which is 122 years old and on her way from Liverpool, got lost In the fog. At one time the crew refused to sail a mile farther. They drew their knives, but an end was put to the mutiny when the mate forced the seamen to put their pointed knives to the grindstone. This is a right given to vessel commanders by the British law, it is claimed.

This is the story that has been aD-

peanng on the front pages of the

newspapers. This old ship used to haul convicts to Botany bay in Australia a hundred years ago. it

was rotting away n a far eastern point until a promoter conceived the idea of bringing it to Coney Island park. The Idea was a good one and the press agent who was hired has

just as good ones. Ever since th m

ship went under sail every two or three days the telegraph wires hnv.

been burdened with stories about the

gnosis of the hard-used convicts

appearing and frightening sailors.

WHY MEN DON'T GO TO CHURCH.

Every now and then some one set

out to find out why men don't go to church. Maybe some of the editors can answer. This newspaper and a lot of its contemporaries in the

county conduct, or rather try to con

duct, a column of church announce

ments every Saturday. But the task is a trying one. Only a few of the clergy take enough interest in the column to voluntarily offer news as to their Sunday topics and sermon

while from others its obtained only after much, pumping.

SCOUTS HAVE GOOD TIME. Chicago Boy Scout Camp, Crystal Lake. Mich. July 18. Editor Tints: This la certainly one of the moat interesting places it has ever been my privilege to visit. Boys and boy activities make one forget that he has grown out of boyhood

days and he is once more a boy. The

boy scout camp is no place for a dead one. The camp is well disciplined and

the boys each have dutiea that they

must perform each day but there Is

lots of time for fun and the fun Is all

good clean sport. Last night after

supper while waiting for the evening's

entertainment I could not help but smile to see the boys grubbing stumps.

There were some big stumps In their

baseball diamond, tools for getting them out were not very plentiful and as high as thirty or forty boys would be standing around one stump

scrambling "like at lot of women at a bargain counter" for a chance at that stump. Have you a boy? Can you see

him digging a stump out of your back yard. This is the way the boys are taught, not actually compelled to do

things but brought Into environments that will lead them to see the benefit

Here Is a sample of a day in oraio.

Up at C o'clock, breakfast at 7. police at 8, tent inspection at S:80. t to 11 boatlag, 11 to 12 swimming, 12 o'clock dinner, 12:80 to 1:80 the quiet hour when each boy la urged to write borne, 1:30 to 6 boating, base ball, hikes er other amusements. C o'clock supper, after aupper a bon-fire with a good atory told by one of the officers of the camp, or a mock court, or some other program. 9 o'clock to bed. 9:30 lights out. The boy scout movement means much to our country and should receive the hearty support of every man. The camp la situated on a high point

on the bank of Crystal lake. The Uk

la about one-half mile acroas and al

most round, you can stand on any part

or tha shore and aee all the shore line.

This makes It ideal for this kind of a camp. Our Hammond boys are doing fine. Lieutenant Simmons the officer in

charge of tbe camp has complimented them on the neatness of their quarters and also for their table manners. We are all well and having the time of our lives. Respectfully.
