OH, MY, ISN'T HE
JUST THE DARLING,
MY BOLD SOJER BOY
Nathaniel Davis Ayer, Jr.,
Enlists, Even Though It
Breaks Mamma's Heart,
but Decides to Wait for
Next Regiment.
Nathaniel Davis Ayer, Jr., enlisted and
started to war ngalnst his mother's
wishes. Tho parting woa sad, but through
the tears camo tho words of a bravo
fighting man: "Mamma, 1 know It breaks
your heart to see me go, and It breaks
mine, too, but what would tho world
think of me If I wero to let tho glory
of England bo trampled In tho dust while
I stayed home with Nana?"
"Nana" Is tho nurso and she cried too,
but a "sojer" man must bo hard as nails
and not let a woman's sobs affect him.
Nathaniel Davis Ayor, Jr., chose Eng
land as a country fit to fight for simply
because ho didn't happen to be In another
land. With his mamma, who Is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William II,
McFndtlen, of Qlensldo, and papa, who Is
Nat D. Ayer, a composer, and "Nana"
he went to London, whore "papa" was to
do some work.
Papa doesn't sncll his namn out In

tie Highlander wouldn't have gone to
such lengths In describing himself had
not tho recruiting officer said It was abso
lutely necessary to glvo the full name In
case tho applicant chanced to be wounded
in battle.
As ho was about to Join his regiment
for tho front, tho "sojer's" papa took
him nsldo and said:
"Bon, I fear It Is my duty to tell you
that you are saying goodbye to your
parents for the last tlmo. When you
are wounded and left to die there on tho
cold battlefield, and when night comes
and thero 'are no lights, no dinner, and
no mamma or 'Nana' to say 'night' to
you, only the black darkness and the
cruel winds "
But that was all. Father's advlco km
Interrupted by:
"Daddy, they don't need mo yet, and
I think I'll stay hero until tho next regi
ment goes."
Nathaniel Davis Ayer, Jr., Is almost as
much as seven years old.
STUNG!
A fly buzzed all about
To find a passage out
Then on the window sill
A minute stood quite still.
I thought he was asleep
And caught him just to keep;
He looked so fine a fellow
With rings of black and yellow.
He scolded dreadfully
And stuck a pin in mc.
I dropped him pretty quick;
My hand was awful sick.
, BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
ONCE upon a time, the leaves of
the silver poplar were green
both top and bottom just like
the leaves of all other trees and the
poplar tree was a nice proper tree just
like all other trees,
Then something happened. Some
thjng usually docs you know when
things are entirely too nice and
proper.
One day, when the poplar leaves
were playing with the breezes, one
little breeze said, "Oil, you should sec
the trees in other countries as we do.
Sometimes the leaves arc gray, some
times pale green and some are
brighter colors."
"Wouldn't that be queer?" said one
of the leaves.
"I think I'd like it," said another.
"I'm tired of being plain green like all
other leaves."
And though the breeze laughed at
them, they wouldn't play because they
kept thinking all the time about their
color.
And the more they thought, the
worse it seemed to be green, just plain
green, all their lives.
"Isn't it horrid to be just a plain
green leaf?" said one, "I'm so tired of
being green," said another, .ill finally
they forgot that the sky was blue
and the sun golden all they could
remember was their common green
color.
At last the fairies who lived in the
tree got tired of their complaining,
and the fairy queen said: "If you
And though the brcrzv lauyhea at thou,
they wouldn't play.
really wish to change your color you
may do so, but remember you can
never change back to the beautiful
green color you now are."
KAISER FREQUENTLY
RELAXES FROM ROLE
OF STERN WAR LORD
The leaves all laughed and declared
they never, never, never wanted to be
green again, so the fairy painters set
to work with their magic paint and
soon the leaves were grayish green
on top and silver underneath.
When all was done and the paints
carefully put away the leaves shook
themselves dry and began to look
around.
"Aren't we beautiful 1" they exclaim
ed as they primped and preened in the
sunshine.
"Now that you like your color,"
said the breezes, "come and play with
us again."
"Oh, no," said the leaves loftily,
"we don't care to play with you any
more. We like to have you come and
see us, for you turn and twist us so
we can see all our pretty colors, but
we couldn't just common play any
more, we are too fine for that!"
So the breezes came and stayed a
little while and swayed and twisted
the leaves so that the silver linings
glistened in the sunshine then they
went and played and frolicked in the
oaks and maples with the leaves who
were not so dressed up.
And ever since then, the poplar
leaves have been green and silver, but
the leaves arc so stiff and vain that the
fairies and breezes play in the old
green trees.

German Emperor's School
boy Spirit Prompts Him to
Act and Speak Indiscreetly,
Governess Writes.
LONDON, Sept. 20.
A pen picture of Kaiser Wllhelm U
contained In a book of memoirs Just pub
lished by Miss Anne Topham, who for
tome years acted as English governess
to the Kaiser's daughter. Tho "recollec
tions" of Miss Topham contain, bcslda3
Its pictures of tho Kaiser himself, a num
ber of Interesting stories of the Kaiser's
court.
From the numerous stones and In
dents In the book In which His Majesty
figures it Is possible to reconstruct a
ery graphic and by no means unattrnc
tlco portrait of the ruler of Germain,
alike In his function of monarch and his
role of husband and parent.
The "papa" of the Princess Is very
much the Kaiser of high politics, alter
nately gushing and ferocious, nlwnys
cocksure, and continually doing Indis
creet things. Everybody around him Is
kept ever on tho move, or ready to bo
on tho move next moment; everyone with
whom ho comes Into contact Is expected
to be as Interested In everything as ho
Is himself.
His son, tho Crown Prince, Is not more
typically tho tactless, hustling, grandiose
ei cnnuiiKe, earnest but suporllclal
Hohenzollern than is tho Kaiser. All
things nr plain to him, not excepting the
mysterious ways of I'rovldenco; all ex
teptlng the buffrngettes. He udmlts that
he does not understand them.
Why, In heaven's name, do women
want the vote? ho usks, and he threaten
ed one charming suffragist whom he met
at Kiel, and who promised a Mirrr.n?iut
InvaMon of Uerlln, that If the I'ankhurst '
oei-uon weni to ucrmun), he would ge
them much worse than two dais' deten
tion in Hoi I envoy with ncwspapeis to
read and Mowers to decorate their cells.
The Kal.-er Is not an altogether dls
BKrecable person. Fur from it More
than once he has paid tribute to the
beauty and attraction of the English
couutrjsldo; he has a poem of Kipling
framed and hung In his room; his fuvor
jte book as n boy was 'Frank Falrlegh";
lie I kes Dickens; he buys his liurbca In
x.ngiand -r Ireland; he sends to London
for his tea, ho worships Jtevnolds and
Halnsboiough and Nelson.
The Prussian spirit peeps out every
where if we look at Wllhelm II closely,
aesplte the European tor Eiifcllsh) gloss
or efntlcmanllncbs. When Queen Alex
andrla and the German Empress were
uriven In Berlin the horses of their car
riage were frightened by a salute of
Runs. The mastrr of the horae was pre
sented subseiiuentb by the Kulwr to
iwne hdward, who already knew the of.
nciat very well "Here's the man who
made such a fearful bungle (Hut Slch
Ulamlu.) with, hb hoists," said tho
Kaiser, In presenting hli humble servant.
The slgnlllcance of Instances like this
cannot bo exaggerated. They are of es
sential barbarism not of cl Hired Euiopo.
That tho Kaiser "means nothing" by
them idds to their signlllcunce.
The schoolbojlsh side of the Kaiser, al
though It may at times embanass need
lessly the solemn and deserving poison,
mo condemns less severely. Indeed, It Is
possible to be pleased by some of Miss
Topham's storyettes of tho mutual mis
chief of the Kaiser and his daughter.
One day tho Princess shocked her gov
erness by making the "pop" of a cham
pagne cork with her lips and cheeks, and
then imitating the gurglo of tho wine as
It runs Into a glass. "Whoever taught
you theso unladylike accomplishments?"
nsked the governebs. "S-s-sh! It was
Papa!" came the gleeful answer. "He
can do It splendidly." And she gurgled
again In the hope of development by long
practice a talent equal to his.

The United States has a claim to dis
tinction for which It has by no means re
ceived general credit either at home or
abroad. For the United States, on the
authority of the United States Geological
Survey, possesses glaciers which "vie in
magnitude and In splendor with the most
boasted glaciers of the Alps." The claims
of this country to fame as a land of
glaciers are set forth In a bulletin re
cently Issued by the Geological Survey
and written by F. E. Mutthes, which
deals in detail with the glaciers of
Mount Italnicr. But this mountain Is
by no means the only locality In tha
United States where glaciers are to be
found. Mr. Matthes writes:
Tho Impression still prevails In many
quarters that tiue glaciers, such as am
found In the Swiss Alps, do not exist
within the confines of the United States,
and that to behold one of these rare
scenic features ono must go to Switzer
land, or else to the less accessible Cana
dian Rockies or the Inhospitable Alaskan
coast. As a matter of fact, permanent
bodies of snow nnd Ice, largo enough to
ueserve uie name or glaciers, occur on
many of our Western mountain chains,
notably In the Rocky Mountains, where
only recently a national reservation
Glacier Nutlonal Park was named for
Its Ice fields: In the Sierra Nevada of
Callfornlu, and further north, in the
Cascade range.
LOFTY PEAKS OF ETERNAL ICE.
It Is on the lust-named mountain chain
that glaciers especially abound, cluster
ing, as a rule, In groups about the higher
summits of the crest, llut this range
also supports a series of huge extinct
volcanoes that tower high ubovo Its sky
line In the form of Isolated cones On
these the snows lie deepest and the
glaciers reach their grandest develop
ment ice ciad from head to foot the
j ear around, these giant peaks have be
come known the country over as tho
noblest landmarks of the Pacific Noi th
in est Foremost among them are Mount
Shasta, In California UI.MS feet), Mount
Hood, In Oregon (U.S2S feet). Mount St
Helens (9o&7 feet). Mount Adams 12,30
feet), Mount Ruint-r (H.lus . ..!
Mount Uuker (10.730 feet), In the State of
Washington.
Easll king of all Is Mount Rainier.
Almost 230 feet higher than Mount
Shasta, Its nearest rival In grandeur and
In mass. It Is overwhelming!) Impressive,
both by the vastness of Its glacial mantle
and by the striking sculpture of Its cllrfs
The total area of Its glaciers amounts
to no less than 45 square miles, an ex
panse of Ice far exceeding that of any
other single peak In the United Status
Many of Its Individual Ice streams are
between four and six miles long, and

the most boasted glaciers of tho Alps

WITHIN EASY ACCESS.
Ai for the plea that these glaciern Ho

gion, a forbidding wilderness as compared
with maturely civilized Switzerland, It no

Rainier) Ice fields can now be reached
from Seattle or Tneoma, the two prlncl
pil cities of western Washington In a
comfortable day's journeying, either by
rail or by automob'lle. Tho cooling sight
of crcvassod glaciers and the exhilarating
flower-scpnted air of alplno meadows need
no longer be cxcluslvo pleasures, to bo
gained only by a trip abroad
Of tho mountain Mr. Matthes says!
Mount Rainier stands on tho west edge
of tho Cascade range, overlooking tho
lowlands that stretch to Puget Hound.
Seen from Seattle or Tacoma, 60 or 60
miles distant, respectively, It nppcars to
rlso directly from Bea level, so Insignifi
cant seem tho ridges about Its base. Yet
these ridges themselves aro of no mean
height. They rlso 3000 to 4001 feet abovo
tho valleys that cut through them nnd
their crests average 6000 feet In altitude.
MAJESTIC MOUNT RAINIER.
Mount Rainier stands, In round num
bers, 10,000 feet high abovo Its Imme
diate base, and covers 100 square miles of
territory, or one-third of the urea of
Mount Ralnlor National Park. In shapo
It Is not a simple cone tapering to a slender-
pointed summit, like Fuji Yams, tho
great volcano of Japan. It is, rather, a
broadly truncated mass, resembling nn
enormous tree stump, with spreading baso
and Irregularly broken top.
The altitude of the main summit ban for
many years been In doubt. Several figures
have been announced from tlmo to time,
no two of them hi agreement with each
other; but all of these. It Is to bo ob
served, were obtained by more or less
approximate methods. In 1&13 the United
States Geological Survey, In connection
with Its topographic surveys of tho Mount
Rainier National Park, was able to make
a new series of measurements by trl
angulatlon methods at close range. Theso
give tho peak an olevatlon of H.40S fret,
thus placing It near the top of the list
of high summits of the United States.
ThlB last figure, It should be added, Is
not likely to bo in error by more than
a foot or two, and" may. with some confi
dence, be regarded as final. Greater ex
actness of determination Is scarcoly prac
ticable In the case of Mount Rainier, ns
Its highest summit consists actually of a
mound of snow, the height of which nat
urally varies somewhat with the seasons
and from oar to year.
This crowning snow mound, which was
once supposed to be the highest point In
the United States, still beats the proud
name of Columbia crest. It Is essentially
a huge snowdrift or snow dune, heaped up
by the westerly winds. Driving furlouly
up through the great breach In the west
flank of the mountain, between Peak Suc
cess and Liberty Cap, they eddy lightly
as they shoot over the summit and there
deposit their load of snow,
WHAT A GLACIER IS.
Mr. Matthes describes 15 of the glaciers
of the mountain. In regaid to glaciers
generally he says: A glacier Is not a
mere stationary blanket of snow and Ice
clinging Inert to the mountain flank. It
Is a slowly moving, streamlike body that
descends by virtue of Its 'own weight.
The upper parts nro continually being
replenished by fresh snowfalls, which at
those high altitudes do not entirely melt
away In summer, while the lower end,
projecting as It does below the snow
line, loses annually more by melting than
It receives by precipitation, and Is main
tained only by tho continued accession of
masses from above
The rate at which the Ice advances has
been determined by Prof. J. N. Le Conte,
of the University of California, In 1f'3
he placed a row of stakes across the
glacier, and with the aid of survejlng
Instruments obtained accurate measure
ments of the distances through which
they moved from day to day. He found
that In summer, when the movement Is
gi cutest, it averages 16 inches per day
This figure, however, applies only to tho
central portion of the glacier the main
current, so to speak for the margins
necessarily move more slowly, being re
tarded by friction against the channel
sides

Deadly Gas-filled Shells

Germans Storm Paris, He
Thinks.
LONDON, Sept. 30.
R hether the French aro really using
turplnltc, tho newest war terror leported
to bo In possession of England's ally, Is
u matter of great speculation In Eng
land. This new explosive, which has
nroused tho greatest discussion through
out the world Is declared to bo so deadly
in Its effect tlint all life Is exterminated
within a radius of 400 yards of one of
thi exploding shells. Regiments of Ger
mans nrn reported to have been found
dead In tholr trenches, their rifles still
In their hands, not a mark on their
bodies, but with the long lino of corpses
standing as though In life.
Tho Dolly Express declares that a man
known to tho editor for years, and who
Is generally well Informed, has written
ns follows concerning turplnltc
"Ihe new explosive, Invented two years
ago by M. Turpln, the 'parent' Inventor
of melinite nnd lvddlte Is undoubtedly
the most terrific and most widely death
dealing high-power explosive cvor known.
So lethal In Us effect Is the new shell
on explosion that should Its use become
widespread whole armies, Indeed entire
nations, would be completely exterminated
in the course of a few weeks. For this
rason Its use is probably prohibited by
articles of war, by tho International
Hague convention, though M Turpln him
self boldly clnlms this Is not the cose."
After telling of M. Turpln's dislike of
the French War Office nnd his grievance
folowlng the Government's acceptance of
melinite and lyddite, the Informant of
the Express tells how Turpln set to work
upon a new explosive, which he endeav
ored to perfect, so that, as compared to
It, melinite and lyddite would be prac
tically useless. He worked tor years, had
a gun made himself, the parts being con
structed at cllffeient points nnd then
assembled, and directed tho making of
the shells.
"The merest chance enabled me to wit
ness ono of tho early trials of the new
explosive." the writer continues "On a
stretch of sand GOO yards from high
water level, a temporary sheep fold had
been erected, about 400 yards square, and
inllcd off with wooden huidles In this
space were n dozen sheep and a couple of
aged and worn-out horses.
"One of the horbes wns contentedly
munching away at some hay and the
other was rubbing himself against one of
the hurdles, while the .sheep wero huddled
togrther In one roiner.
"This was what I saw through my
glasses when from a rldgo some 2.7W
yards away there came a sharp, loud
thud and the snrleklng sound of n small
shell, Just as though somebody had
taken a piece of silk and rapidly torn It
in two.
"There was an explosion In the open
space In the middle of the Improvised
sheep-pen. The sheep weie still huddled
In the coiner, one of the old horses was
apparently leaning up against the rail

"When ton minutes later I reached the

mobtly btandlng up, one against the
other.
"Three or four wero lying down but
nil were dead, with their eyes open and
lips hanging. It wns absolutely ghastly
Yet all nf the animals, only tho old
horse that had been munching hay, was
hit by a fragment of shell. The other
horse was half falling, half leaning
against the fence, his forelegs stretched

on the hand beneath him. Eoth hud been

"For special raons which It would bo

Wlrkman, Central High's star tackle,
has returned to school after a serious
Illness and Is putting up a scrappy fight
to regain hlfl old position. Having been
tho unanimous choice for all-scholastic
tackle the last two seasons, he should
not hnve much trouble In making good.
One of the team's best bets In the line
Is Charlie Young, the 205-pound guard.
He made a name for himself last year,
nnd In splto of his weight Is one of the
fastest men In the line. With Chambers
and Farmakls he will complete the
strongest trio of centre men In scholastic
ranks.
It seems that for the first tlmo In
several years there will be no scarcity
of good second string men. In other
years Central High has always been
able to turn out a good first team, but
has suffered from a lack of competent
substitutes, and, as Walter Camp says,
"A team Is no stronger than Its sub
