Had a Marked Effect on Repose of Soldiers, It is being noted by genial hosts in Great Britain, anxious to show hospitalities to returned soldiers, that though bravely determined as ever, the war-worn heroes have suf- fered badly from the strain upon their nerves. - ' By way of illustration the follow- ing incident is recorded: "I was out shooting the other day with a young lieutenant who = was wounded at Ypres," gald a well koown sportsman yesterday. "He was a crack shot in a pheasant-drive ~-before the war---and I never knew anybody with such a neat hand among the snipe, which means quick snapshot shooting, a cool head, and balanced judgment. But Lieut. . though be had completely recovered from his wounds, and is now, in fact, on his way back to business, made a very poor show in his day's shooting with me. We were walking through one of the avenues of a wood, and I noticed all the time that my companion was looking nervously: to left and right of him and treading softly as a cat. Then suddenly be burst out laughing. ~ 'I confess,' be said, 'that I have a mortal dread of trees since that affair at Givenchy, when the Germans let fly with their machine-guns out of the wood, "Then they came out into the open again and at the corner of the wood, barely two hundred yards distant, half a dozen guns blazed away. "Lieut. - immediately dived for cover. "The impulse was too strong, and though the lieutenant apologized for it afterwards, he qualified his apol- ogy by remarking that since the war began be confessed to the 'strongest respect for the ostrich, which, he de clared, was surely the wisest of all birds." How to "Go Sick" Successfully. At the military hospital attached to the barracks at D------ says a writ- er in an English publication, all sol diers who wish to see the doctor as semble each morning at the door of the doctor's surgery. There used to be a great deal of malingering, or 'swinging the lead," as the soldiers call it, among the sufferers. This has been effectively stopped by the fol lowing notice, which has been affixed to the surgery door: Hints to those who, for one reason or another, wish to "go sick." 1. Don't swing smartly to atten- tion and walk briskly up to the medi- cal officer when you have chosen an injured kneecap. 3 2. Don't forget .that sprained wrists and ankles are always swollen: 3.

While Robert Browning and "hie son Barrett were living alone in Florence the son gave one afternoon an exhibition of his new paintings in the family drawing room. To Mr. Browning was assigned the task of meeting the guests. Late in the afternoon, when the room was well filled, there appeared at the draw- ing room door a woman whose face was familiar. Yet Mr. Browning could not recall her name, and he judged from her appearance that she was not an invited guest. There was embarrassment on both sides for a moment, and then the wo- man said eagerly: "Oh, please, Mr, Browning, I'm the cook. Mr. Bar- rett said as I was to come and see his pretgy pictur's." Whereupon Mr. Browning, offering his arm, showed her about the roo with all the attention that be co have bestowed upon a reigning queen; + > - y A Horse's Medal. A Russian artillery horse won a bronze medal at Plevna. Orders were given for.some ammunition Wagons to be hurried to a spot that meant crossing the enemy's zone of fire. All the time shells were crashing among the horses, bringing them down in heaps and frightening such as escap- ed. Times without number did the Russian drivers, sparing neithér whip nar spur, attempt to urge the horses | forward, but they stood cowed and shivering With fright! Some were blindfolded: but the effect was the same, and only one horse showed any willingness to go. Thereupon the driver jumped down, and, cutting the traces of the other horses, drove the willing one at full ggliop through the fire. The wagon aes through without exploding, and after the war the horse was decorated in the man- ner described and- 'the driver pro- moted. Exact Thomas, Thomas Hoar, the devoted servant upon whom Gilbert White, the Eng- lish naturalist, depended to carry out his garden plans and to look after his comfort in many ways. was noted for his exactness. Mr. H; C. Shelley, in "Gilbert White and Selhorne," gives an amusing illustration. There was one occasion when Thomas came to report, "Please, sir, I've been and broke a glass." 'Broke a glass. Thomas! - How did you do that?" 7 "I'l show you, sir," he rejoined ent: Re- s hand he remarking: {That's how 1 broke it, sir."

J Alabama's Experience In 1907 Alabama came under Prohibition with $1,000,000 in the State Treasury and all outstanding obligations paid. Four years later the surplus had disappeared and in its place a deficit of over $1,000,000. Governor Henderson says Prohibi- tion cannot last through another legislature. Do We Want These Conditions Repeated in Ontario ? Prohibition is Economically Unsound. What is the record as to the enforcement of Prohibition in those States of the Union which have gone dry? JUST LOOK! In the last four, years in the prohibition states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee Virginia, Florida and Kentucky, 10,000 illicit distilleries have been seized. In the United States in 1907 the per capita consumption of liquor was 'a little over 23 gallons. In 1914, with 13,000,c00 more people living -under '*dry" laws, the consumption of liquor per person was > > 5 gallons The Chief of Police of Topeka, Kansas, where Prohibition originated, reports 2,200 arrests in rarg out of a population of 435,000.
