WAR VET FINDS HE = - HAS NO COUNTRY

Singing in Streets to Earn His Living.

‘Belfast, Ireland.—Virtually a man without a country, an American who fought for Britain in the World war Is singing in the streets of Belfast, accompanied by his wife, in a desperate effort to keep body and soul together. ’ He has made two round trips across the Atlantic trying to re-enter the land where he was born. He was turned back at Ellis island, and the emigration officials at Liverpool sent him back’ to America again because they thought the American authorities had no right to refuse him permission to land. _ . ~ George Young was born In Rhode Island and has the birth certificate to prove it. At the age of eighteen he decided to see {he world. He was in Ireland at the outbreak of the World war and joined the Royal Irish Fusilie;s. During months of figchting in France Young was wounded three times and given the military medal for bravery under fire. He remained in the army ‘until 1923, when he was given an honorable discharge and started to work on a farm near Belfast. _Things went nicely with the soldier of fortune and he received Inoney from his family in America to pay his passage home. He had no difficulty getting aboard ship when he showed his birth certificate. Dut it was a different story at Ellis island. The emigration ofliclals held that the oath of allegiance -to the Dritish flag, taken when he joined the fusiliers, made him an alien, and that he would have to await his turn on a quuta passport. S The State department upheld the decision of the Ellis island officials and Young returned to Liverpool. Froam there he was shipped to New York once more, and back again. He finally reached Belfast, but has been unable to find work. : “To make things worse,” Young sald, “all my papers, including my birth certificates, were retained by the steamship company and sent to New York in connection with the charge against the company of bringing me to America without a visa. I cannot get a passport until my papers are returned. It scems unfortunate that 1 cannot return to America, because 1 fought for Britain. If I finally get a passport, I will have to wait my turn on the quota. In the meantime 1 suppose I shall have to keep on singing in the streets.” e

An Illusion Smashed, Flea Circuses Fakes Houston, Texas.—Scientific experiments conducted with fleas have proved to Dr. M. A. Stewart, Rice institute professor, that fleas are dumb and that flea circuses are fakes. Dector Stewart is conduncting experiments to discover actions of fleas with bubonic bacilli. His explosion of the flea circus hoax came by aceldent. ; “The so-called flea trainers provide the intelligence they claim fleas have,” said Doctor Stewart, “They have platinum wires so thin about the fleas’ necks that it takes microscopes to see them. The trainers attach the free ends of these wires to their fingers. Then they can make them go through their tricks on the stage. : “To make them ‘waltz’ they tle two fleas together. It’s the most natural thing in the world for the insects, in trying to get away from each other. to skip around the table. That's the. waltz. . “Making -a flea play a minpiature musical instrument is more difficult. They glue the flea to the table on its back and make a noise. With a piece of paper glued to its legs, the flea kicks about frying to right litself. That's when 1t plays the Instrument.” : ~ In his experiments, Doctor Stewart uses the same kind of platinum wire to prevent the fleas from escaping.

Father and Daughter : Keep Job 106 Years Canterbury, N. H.—For 106 years the financial affairs of the local Baptist society have been in charge of two generations of one family.

When Marcia Came Home

(Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) i “Don’t tell mother,” Marcia said tensely, “but I'm not going back.” . Constance looked at her in amazement. “You’re not—going back,” she gasped. : ‘ “I'm tired of it all, and I've told— PRIL” “How could you?” her sister demanded. ‘“He loves you, Marcia.” “Oh, I know it, but love isn't everything, Connie. I thought so when 1 married Phil, and went up there in ‘the lumber regions and tried to live his life. And you know I've tried to be happy, but I'm not used to that sort of thing. And as for baby—vyou know how I want her to have everything that life can glve her, and she cannot up there.” “But how could you ‘tell Phil? ‘What did he say?” “He—he didn’t say much. He just looked at me in a puzzled way.” _“Oh,” Constance cried, “how can You do such a thing, Marcia?”’ “Because,” Marcia panted, “because I know what life up ‘there means. You don’'t. Of course, Phil is a lawyer, but his clients are all the 'men who work in the forests, and the ‘women—why they are the wives of those men—and there isn’t anything to do, and I won’t go back—so don’t ask me, Connie—don’t ask me.” For two months Marcia lived in a whirl. Her mother, joyous at having possession for a little while of her youngest girl, loaded her with gifts, and Marcia appeared at garden partles and tennis events, and golf tournaments, robed exquisitely in rose color or in _white. x ' Bhe dressed Baby Margaret like a doll and took her with her. Together they were petted and praised. “And if T were up there with Phil,” Marcia said ‘o Connie, “I should have gpent this summer listening to the frogs croak and the chickens sing.” “You would have shared Phil’s hopes and sorrows,” said Connie. “Oh, Marcia, isn’t he lonely?”’ . “He doesn’t say so,” said Marcia, evasively. ) ‘ Two weeks later Phil came down to fetch his wife. : -

* “You are coming home with me, Marcia,” he said. “Why?” she looked at him in surprise. “I thought you. knew I wasn’t coming any more?” _ _ “That is what you sald, and I thought I might let you have your way. But—l'm not going to let you take your life in your hands. I promised to love and protect you. My duty to my child places upon me the same obligation to love and protect her—l haven’t any right as a husband and father to let you stay h‘N-” ¥ g That night Marcia talked it over 'with Connie. “Do you think I ought to go back?” ' - “If a man loved me,” said Connie, “as Phil loves you, I would go with him to the end of the world.” “That’s what I thought,” said Marcla, bitterly, “when I married Phil, but romance doesn’t survive long when you are up against the hard things of life.” ~ Philip Ames took with him an unwilling wife. The trip on the train 'was a silent one. Only little Margaret prattled of the return. “Are the pussies and the chickens expecting me?” she asked her father.. '~ “Yes, and the pine trees Lave lots of things to whisper in your ears. Don’'t you know when the sun is sete ting how they whisper, whisper, and sing lullaby songs?”’ v | “Yes,” said lttle Margaret, ““and that's the time when you always tell mother how much you love her.” ' Marcia, lstening, felt her heart leap. That had been one of Phil'g Uttle ceremonies in their temple of love. At sunset he would take her in his arms and say, “Another day is ours, dear heart.” . When had he stopped? She re membered with a shock that it was she who had rung the knell to romance. It was she who had been imment of his caresses. It waf she who had, one night, interrupted his sunset litany to say, “A{other day of toll and trouble—another day—of loneliness.” ' . After that he had not kissed her at sunset. After that he had withdrawn & little. After that he had worked barder and more doggedly. Suddenly the reason of his incessant laboring dawned upon her. Did he think she wanted an easy life more than sghe wanted romance, and so he had ens deavored to give it to her? : ~ Thelr horses were walting for them at the station. They drove through the long aisle of the forest. | The pussies were at the door tq meet Margaret. The man drove away with the horses, the maid who had greeted them turned and went intq the house to merve the evening meal.l Philip looked at his wife. "You! are home again, Marcia,” he gaid, simply. “Will you try to believe Itl {s for the best, and ‘not blame me too much?” L Buddenly she raised her face to his, “The sun is setting,” she sald, tremulously, “kisg me, Phil, and forgive me. I didn’t know; I didn’t know.” He took her in his arms and bent his face to hers, and she heard his whisper of flerce rapture, “Another day is. ours—another day of love e s
