A cross old woman of long ago Declared that she hated noise; "The town would be so pleasant, you know, If there were no boys." / She scolded and fretted about it till Her eyes grew heavy as lead; And then, of a suddeii, the town grew still, For all the boys had fled. And all through the long and dusty street There wasn't a boy in view; The baseball lot where they used to meet Was a sight to make one blue. The grass was growing on every base And the paths that the runners made, For there wasn't a soul in all the place Who knew how the game was play-* ed.

Wells Describes His Trip in a British "Tank." The novelist Mr. H. G. Wells, in some of his earlier fiction of the fan- P ar ^ s as a battleship tastic-scientiflc kind, ventured a good many bold prophecies. After the way of prophets, he made more misses than hits; but the hits were notable and brilliant. Therefore, when he predicts that should the war continue long e/ough His Majesty's land ships, as the British "tanks" are officially designated, will prove to be forerunners of terrestrial dread- naughts of unguessed and appalling size and power, ploughing thé land as ships of the line plough the sea, -the prophecy is interesting. It is marÿtng also; for the flowing ally true of the slug, "unexpectedly complicated inside." He was permitted permitted a brief trip on board--a rare privilege indeed for a civilian.

And, after all, Peggy was such a dear that it seemed a small thing to let her talk in her owij^eager way. That evening, however, when her excitement had simmered down, Kent waylaid her. "|t's for a heart-to-heart talk, Peggy," he said, steering her into his den. "It's for your"soul's good,"you know." "Yes, sir," Peggy replied demurely.

The Church is the body of Christ, therefore, like the human body, is subject subject to imperfections.

The Mystical Sixth Sense. \ * The Church has survived the shock of all assaults, witnessed the rise and fall of mighty dynasties,tits voluntary revenues larger than the enforced taxes of any state. Spread more widely than the boundaries of _any empire, served more de^tedly than the flag of any country, supported by instruments which get out of tune and must be put back- to concert pitch; storage batteries which leak their vital currents and need recharging.

He is still using sures and becomes strong, selecting pleasures that are not degenerative. Some individuals, however, do not emerge into this mature and self-controlled self-controlled state»and always harbour more or less of the infantile pleasures.

He says: "From the standpoint of the usual social evaluation the type of person who is always listening to hear scandal of his associates is despicable. despicable. He does not listen to hear something something good, but always to hear something something bad, and the worse the better. This is a somewhat less obvious pleasure-seeking device than that of the person who is all attention at the telling of every obscene story; but the principle is the same, because it is the obscene for which he is really listening. - Such a person is a peddler of gossip, a besmircher of reputations and in all sorts of ways at the level of the ear libido (listening), a destructive destructive member of the community, and incidentally a very unhappy and unfulfilled unfulfilled person himself.

REIGN OF THE CROWN PRINCE. Germany is Ruled by the Sentiments of the Degenerate Prince. It is customary to look forward toward toward the reign of the Crown Prince of Germany with a certain amount of foreboding; but in essence, if not in fact, the Crown Prince is already, on the throne, says Prof. Shaw, of New York University. It is as credible a belief that the kaiser did not want war as that the heir apparent did. The kaiser seems to have preferred his yacht to the U-boat, but the Crown Prince appears to have chosen more serious pastimes. Just when the kaiser abdicated psychologically in favor of his son is not a matter of recorded recorded date, but the facj^-remains that Germany of to-day is ruled by the sentiments of the Prince. The kaiser is a reminiscence, the Prince a harsh reality, and it is the decadent spirit of the Prince which appears, not only at Verdun but all along the Hindenburg line and in the wake of von Tirpitz and his U-boat- age. Germany, then, is urged on by his ear to minister to a low level type of curiosity. His ear has not been adequately integrated as a part of a socially useful member of society and therefore is not used to further socially socially useful constructive ends. It remains remains at the instinctive, pleasureseeking pleasureseeking level. How much better he could use his proclivity to listen by going to lectures, readings or concerts concerts and thus socializing his trend by using it for bringing him into contact with his fellows at socially useful levels." - Watch for overloading, overspeecf- ing, ill-fed and badly harnessed horses, for warm weather is with us, when the horse feels these cruelties more than at any other season of the year.

Critics of -national ideals will be unjust with Germany, which still has a place on earth, and false to themselves themselves if they indulge the fond assumption assumption that Germany is false and bad, while all other nations involved in the war are true and good, The difference between..Germany and the other nations lies in the fact that the others went to war with the best that was in them-- to the front, the worst to the rear. France was ready to subordinate national levity to the serious business of defending its implicit" implicit" ideals. After undue delay, England England decided to subsume snobbery and selfishriels for the sake of thrusting forward its standard notions of civilization. civilization. In our own country, we have just begun to let the cardinal ideal of national life take the place of jingoistic jingoistic talk, stock jobbery and stock rc" b-ery.
