CHANGING FRONT

Predict* Germane’ Retreat.
LONDON, Oct. 7.—Writing from a
point “outside of Paris," a corres
pondent of the London Daily News
says:
“The battle now proceeding is, of
course, beyond description. No one
man can see it and understand it.
It would take a good walker, for in
stance, at least a fortnight to get from
one end of the line to the other.
“You still come across croakers
whom nothing In this world will ever
assure, convinced yet that the Ger
mans are playing a subtle game, have
something up their sleeve, and will
presently give an alarming surprise,
which they are now carefully develop
ing behind their lines, and come back
to Paris.
“The common sense of the matter
Is that the Germans went back from
the Marne because they had to, and
that they do not advance now be
cause they cannot. There Is noth
ing more mysterious in their plans
than that. The allies cannot make
quicker progress because the Ger
mans are very many, are well armed,
have strong positions, and are des
perate. They know that If they break
now they break for good. Their pro
longed and fomldable resistance is
no more mysterious than their retreat.
“Luck Is almost as Important In
warfare as good soldiers. Admitting
the value of that essential, it Is safe
to say that the Germans will never
get back to Paris; they will see Ber
lin first. Even a week ago it was
almost Impossible to move by day
light. Most of the work of trench
digging went on at night, while the
German searchlights were sweeping
the land and directing the guns.
“So the desperate winning of ground
continues nightly. The Germans rake
the landscape with searchlights and
shrapnel, while the French and Brit
ish, working in darkness and mys
tery, muffle even the headlights of
their staff officers’ motor cars. Sever
al of the heavy German guns have
already been taken.
“It must be admitted that it will
be exceedingly difficult to storm this
position of the Germans, though re
peatedly the French, especially the
Algerian troops, whom nothing can
restrain when they see red, rush reck
lessly over the open at the German
trenches and make plenty of reserves
at once necessary for the firing line.”
Like Mukden Battle.
LONDON, Oct. 7.—The heavy ar
tillery continues to play a leading part
in the battle of the Alsne, which has
now been in progress twenty-five days.
With the greatest stubbornness the
opposing forces continue to hammer
at each other from their wellt-in
trenched and strongly fortified posi
tions, but up to the present without
reaching any decision.
Almost without a lull great shells
are being hurled across the rivers,
valleys and plains stretching from the
River Oise in the west to the Meuse
in the East, and thence southward
along the whole Franco-German bor
der, while the lighter guns play on
the infantry lying in the trenches
awaiting an opportunity to deliver at
tacks and counter-attacks, with, as
the French official communication
says, “alternate retirement on cer
tain points and advance on others.”
The battle has stretched out furth
er to the westward, the French left
wing having made some progress In
the direction of Arras, which lies to
the northwest of Noyon. The latter
place a few days ago was the allies’
extreme left. A detachment has oc
cupied Peonne, which is still further
north.
;A report from German headquar
ters, dated October 5, Bays, however,
that the efforts of the French to en
circle the German right have not had
any result. The French also claim
to have made an advance to the
northwest of Berrytu-Bac, which is
about the point where the German
line crosses the Alsne, continuing
southeast to Brlmont, which has been
the center of many vigorous attacks.
Along the rest of the line, although
there have been fierce engagements
in which both sides claim victory, the
situation is unchanged. The French
account of the battle compares it witn
that of Mukden. In the latter case
the tide of battle was turned by the
arrival on the Russian right of No
gi’e army from Port Arthur, which
it had just captured, and the Rus
sian lett was also enveloped when
General Kuropatkln withdrew the
great bulk of his army northward,
leaving the rear guard to fall into
tho hands of the Japanese.

INDIAN HOSPITALITY.'^?
A Brand of Their Own, Not “8tlnfy
Like the White Man.”
The early experiences of the white
practitioner among reservation In
dians make a chapter of encounters
with aboriginal prejudice not wholly
finished. Even his own life was not
safe If the doctor ventured too near
the borderland of prejudice, and If a
death occurred at the beginning of his
practice he was likely to be avoided for
the rest of bis sojourn. Many an In
dian came for the first dose and was
never seen or heard of afterward—
whether death or distaste was the re
sult of bis visit the doctor might never
know. Or an entire bottle of cough
sirup would be consumed at once, on
the theory that if a teaspoonful was
good a bottleful would be better.
The constant hospitality practiced by
Indians, and the custom of sharing the
last crumb. Is a phase of the food
question difficult to be appreciated by
whites. As long as an Indian has any
subsistence, bis neighbors and friends
come a-vlsltlng, to remain as long as
the food holds out To be inhospitable
or “stingy like the white man” is an
opprobrium which only the hardiest In
dian can socially survive. This Indian
virtue bars the way to an equalization
of any distribution of food, and Is the
cause of many of those cases of “In
dians starving.”—Southern Workman.
DIED FOR HIS IDOL
Heroism That Led to Napoleon’s Title
of "The Little Corporal.”
It Is related that Napoleon was once
badly defeated at Coblentz by the Cos
sacks. After the battle be was sur
rounded by enemies and would have
lost his life had be not been saved by
the presence of mind of one of bis sol
diers, Corporal Spohn.
Realizing that Napoleon’s only chance
for life was In getting off the battle
field unrecognized, the corporal begged
the emperor to change hats and horses
with him. The change was made ere
the smoke of battle bad cleared away,
and Napoleon, with bis corporal’s hat
and mounted on a poor steed, rode
away unnoticed, the Cossacks crowd
ing around the corporal. Taking him
prisoner, they led him in triumph to
the Russian general. There the mis
take was soon discovered, and the cor
poral’s brave act cost him bis life.
According to the Coblentz legend.
Napoleon, In remembrance of Spohn’s
self sacrifice, always after this pre
ferred a corporal’s uniform to any oth
er and wore It so often that his men
came to speuk of him familiarly as “Le
Petit Caporal.”—From “The Rhine,”
Translated by G. G. T. Bartley.
Mastery of Music.
Tbe mastery of music never Just
“came naturally" to any human being.
Tbe world has never known a more
Industrious worker than the Illustri
ous Franz Schubert Yet If to any
one In the world music “came natural
ly,” It seemed to come so to him.
When the school principal asked his
harmony teacher how young Franz
Schubert was progressing, the teacher
said: “He Is a wonder. Whenever I
explain anything new to him, he al
ways seems already to know It He
must have received his knowledge
straight from heaven.” Yet In spite
of such superb gifts, there was never
a harder worker than be. And don’t
you think that we with our lesser
gifts, should follow his example? If
be with all his heaven sent genius
could not succeed without strenuous
dally labor, how can' we hope to ac
complish anything worth while with
out ceaseless, patient and conscien
tious toll?—Woman’s World.

Little Mary Loo was eager to get
back to her new doll and didn’t know
there was going to be any dessert She
slipped quietly from her chair, hoping
she would not be observed.
Out In the ball she met the cook with
the Ice cream, and as quietly as she
had left It she slipped back to ber ac
customed place at the table.
“Mary Loo.” said ber mother reprov
ingly. “I thought you bad finished your

“But 1 didn’t excuse myself, moth

Why They Worshiped Cats.

did not know, of course, that It waa the
