French Revolutionary Calendar.
The convention of t^e French revo
lution abolished the ordinary calendar
and established a new one, beginning
about the autumnal equinox, with de
scriptive names for the months. The
present time of year Vas under that
arrangement the last month of the
year. It extended from August 19 to
September 18 and was called Fructldor
(fruit).
Real Riches.
Do you know whut real riches are?
'Some people never know, but others do.
Real riches consist uot in having, but
la giving. Some of the people who
are envied as wealthy, are In reality
poor starved souls to whom the Joy of
sacrifice is an unknown luxury. Not
until you master the art of giving up
for others are you really rich.—Ex
change.
I east by a wood, with water near by,
ana the sun pouring in all day, a \
number of robins seem to be kill"
ing time, waiting on an# on for
some mysterious reason. Moreover,
although they will seek to winter
somewhere not far from Paraguay,
they seem to feel no anxiety at the
delay. Otner migratory hlrds, also,
there are, flitting round that corner
in «wog and fours, all very shy,
concealing themselves quickly on
anyone's approach. They will de
part, one* of these days, and the
warm corner will remain plient un
til tne ice breaks up next year.
Meanwhile we hav© plenty to eft
joy. One year varies from another
year with singular persistence. Each
autumn has its special beautks. On
one, conspicuously, the birches dis
tinguish themselves: another, tha
poplars, and on yet another, the
grape vines have run ma<j with gold
and green. The maples, of course,
are unfailing. Th-ese are the Beau
Brummells of the woods. Never
theless, this fall the oakg haVe run
them close, if not outrun them. And',
at this late day, the maple having
some time ago shaken themselves
free of foliage, the oaks in every
shade of royal red reigns supreme.
Although the height of autumn
splendor is past, the final moment
hp.a not arrived. We have yet to
retl that morning, when, after a
sharp frost, not the mild white frost
such as we are having now, the air
is wintry keen, and co'd, and the
wr.ods, from one end to the other,
are a golden gleaming shimmer,
with the last of the failing leaves,
lhen the abrupt conviition that
winter is here strikes in upon the
heart. It is the moment of fina'
renunciation, outwardly at any rate.
And we judge nature outward!y, for
that is how wg know her best. —

NO PLACE KOK «KRMAX-MAI>E
GOODS
Tsat tne arrival i:i New York
of 10,000.000 pounds of toys, every
piece said to bear the wor3§ "Made
in Germany," may possibly set a
precedent for a flood of German
goods to be sent into this country
from neutral countries on the plea
that they are no longer owned by
Germany, is the contention of Rich
an" M. Hurd, chairman of the
Boycott Committee of the American
Defense Society. In a statement
made public at the national head
quarters of the society, he says:
1 his ku<e shipment of toys bear
ins the abominated words "Made
in Germany," arrived in New York
ou Wednesday on board the steam
ship Nieuw Amstredam, of the Hol
land-American Line, which mad'3
th0 voyage from Rotterdam under
guarantee of safety by the Ger
man Government. It is r»POrted
that th« Government officials at
Washington admitted this importa
tion on tne ground that the toys
were bought and paid for before the
United States d-eelai'd var ou the
Hucs,> and have been in storage in
Holland for the past two years.
It is my sincere l»ope that this
will not set a precedent for a
flood of German goods to be sent in
to this country from neutral coun
tries on«the p'ea that they are no
longer owned by citizens of Ger
many and, hence, that the money
i>aid for them does not directly: help
Germany. The indirect help to
Germany is entirely obvious in that
if the United Stateg absorbs Ger
man products now he'd by neutrals,
they will leave a vacuum in neutral
countries into which Germany can
dump her products immediately af
ter the end of the war, or even to
day. This is one of Germany's
strategic moves in her war for
economic world domination, the
plans for which have gone °n
steadily, desoiie her unfavorable
military si.nation.
Shall American labies handle
toys made by the baby killers of
Germany? Americans should nev
er for»et that the Present war is
only a part of Germany's plan to
dominate the world commercially,
and that even if she fails to gain
territorial enlargements, she has
won the war if she emerges from It
in a s'ronger economic position. All
Germany's actions in the war have
taken the commercial factor into
consideration; the destruction of
Allied and neutral merchant Bhips
is aimed to leave Germany, after
the war, the water carrier of the
world; in Belgium and Northern
France, the removal of machinery,
the dfestruction of factory buildings
and the deportation of trained fac
tory operatives is aimed to re
move industrial competiton.
After the war Germany, filled
with stolen machinery, with her
own buildings and lands untouch d:
with raw matreials already ordered'
from all parts of the world, would ;
soon be in a positon to supply the \
world with cheap German goods
while the Allied countries are re* I
building their industiial |>lants aud«
transportation facilities.
Could anything be more r^puls
ie* than to put into the hands of A
merican children tc.vs made by the
German hand? which drip with the
blood of countless innocent non
combatants. it is the legal indi
vidual *ight of every American citi
zen <o make such careful inquiry as
shall preven« their consciously pur
chasing these toys, if they be mind
ed so to do.
OVER THERE AXI) OVER HERE
Over there, a fighting American
oattaiion, cut off from the rest of
the Ya«ks, held out for four dysa 1n
the Argoniie forest, short of >K"
munition and wthout supplies. All
Germau attempts to dislodge them
failed, and a» the end of the four
day8j haggard, exhausted1, hut u;
daunted, they were relieved. The.
had subsisted partly on leaves, and
they were so hard Pressed that even
the wounded had to tak© their turns
standing gua.-d; but they cheere;!
as they drove back the attackers—
and they held out.
Over here, out in Fargo, N. Dak ,
hundreds of women volunteered for
fall harvest work. They were niost
lv indoor workers, ai d they found
tho strenuous laDor a severe strain.
But they remembered what their
work meant to their bojs overseas.
They composed 70 per cent of the J

held out. j j _ J

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
|
Novel by William Oe Morgan Has
Counterpart In Real Life-Story
of Englishman.
A little mor# tl»an ten years u^o an
Englishman, deep in the sixties, won
great renown by going to a hospital.
His illness, though severe, was ordi
nary enough. The use he inade of his
convalescence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed, William De Mor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other,- which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story of an engi
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There a mishap in the
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dazed sta^ he lived a new life,
fey chance he met his former wife, fell
In love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De Morgan's tale—
critics said only he could make it con
vincing—London itself has duplicated
It from ' *e.
John Arthur Lewis, a returned sol
dier, was lately haled into court for
absconding with money he had col
lected for his employers.
His Innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by a >'an and injured. Bereft of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was in
troduced by his mother to a young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock of the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncompleted day's
i work of last August.
History here modifies the ancient ob
servation as to truth and fiction. Truth
Is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Arden? Tennyson
guessed them all.
