TH1 CURPCW AT CHIRTilV. '
Romantic Association of Sumy Vil
lage with tha Sundown Ball.
At sundown tha little Surrey Tills-
of Ctaertsey, Eufland, will re-echo to
the tolling of tha curfew trail, which.
In accordance with ancient custom,
la founded every evening from Sep
tember 28 to March 26.
It la appropriate that Chertaej
a'lould thus maintain the custom,
f.ir the village baa Interesting "cup
ftw" association!. The curfew bell
much hung in Chertaey Abbey tolled
tor the funeral of Henry VI., murdered
In the Tower of London and hurried
3 Chertaey to be burled "without
I , Ifflt, clerk, torch or taper, tinging
i.r saying." .
Tbe abbey waa also the scene of
the romantic legend which relatea
how Blanche Herlot, to aave her lover
Neville, nephew of Warwick the King
maker, condemned to die at sundown,
climbed the curfew tower and held
the clapper of the great bell. The
story, always popular locally, attained
wide fame when Mr. Clifford Harrison
embodied It In bla poem "The Legend
of Chertaey." Blnce then recltera'
audiences bar probably had their fill

Wild Horses In Franca,
Tbe email white horses of tha Ce
marrue (delta of the Rhone), now In
number some 1,000 only, wander
about the seemingly boundless steppes
at full liberty. Tbey are captured
from time to time and used to thresh
the corn. They are supposed to have
been first Introduced by the Romans
and afterward by the Saracens.
But according to M. Huzzard,
"whatever their origin, whether for-
eien or native, the horses of tbe
Camareue to-day are the product al
most exclusively of tbe Influences of
the environment In which they have
propagated from time Immemorial.'
M. Gayot describes the horse of the
Camargue as small agile, good-tern-
pered. spirited, courageous. In the
opinion of Prof. Magna, the horse of
the Camargue must live In a wild
state, and the first effect of Improv
ing the sanitation of the Island will be
the dlpappearance of Its horses.

Improved Annunciator.
The uses of batteries and their at
tendant Inconveniences In tbe opera
tion of annunciator and bell-ringing
systems, la dispensed with by tbe In
vention of a new transformer, by
which the necessary current Is se
cured from the ordinary lighting cir
cuits. As the transformer hss no mov
ing parts, once fixed It will thereafter
require no attention, it Is adapted to
operate on circuits running from 100
to 1.10 volts, and la provided with tpa
giving 6, 12 and 18 volta, so aa to meet
the requirements of various styles and
sizes of bells and buzzers.
Could Not Meet In Russia.
A member of the dentists' congress
recently held In Berlin writes: f'Our
plans as to St. Petersburg for th
gathering In 1914 failed. Not because
there waa any objection to tbe, pity
but because some of the men- who
might be delegates would either not
be admitted or if allowed to enter the
city would be uncomfortable while
there. Russia la queer about accord
ing rights of residence to former cltl
sens and to people of certain religious
views, and having thla In mind Lon
don waa agreed upon aa the next
meeting place."
Japanese Wood for Slespera.
Tbe Atchison railroad Is about to
experiment at Great Bend, Kan., with
rocobolo and Japanese oak as material
for sleepers. This wood Is to hard
that It la almost impossible to drive
pikes into It, and screw spikes In
bored holes will be used. It la expect
ed that tbe sleepers will last from 26
to 30 years. Ther cost a trifle more
than the American oak delivered In
California. Tbe reason for experi
menting with them la that native, oak
la becoming scarce, and It la deemed
wise to look In time for a substitute.
Tha Rare Qift of Courtesy.
Courtesy includes not merely social
klndnesa, graces of speech, absence of
business associates and of all the fel
low citizens with whom a man of af
fairs may have business to- transact.
It la not American to keep one citizen
waiting all day at the door because

In a puree, and frequently much wla

Soldier Tom
js as it.a
The breakfast room of the Bleak-
vllle poorhouse Is particularly gloomy
and cheerless on a dull November
morning.
The rain la beating regularly, pel-
aistently against the narrow windows.
A feeble attempt la being made by
the old folks to eat their breakfnst.
which, tor once, seems more than the;.
can accomplish. A spirit of unrest
baa aelzed them. Evidently tbey havq
premonition of Impending trouble.
Tbe usually smiling face of Mrs.
Dodge, the matron, Is sad thla morn
ing. She glances down the long ta
ble, and aeelng an empty chair, askut
"Where Is Thomas?"
With one accord, they all glance
toward an opposite window, where,
gazing upon the blurred scene wltbout.
Is a tall, thin figure. This Is Thomas.
or, aa the matron's little son calls
him. "8oldler Tom."
Thomas," calla Mrs. Dodge so.'lly.
"will you take your Beat now? Tbls
will be our laat meal together, you
know."
With a stifled sob, the old man tot
ters feebly to his cbalr. For once the
tall, commanding figure has lost it3
military bearing. The shoulders are
stooped. ' The head la bent As he
links Into his chair the matron
glances at the other inmatea, wbo are
looking at one another In a dazed,
perplexed manner.
"My frlenda," ahe begins, "we have
been friends, have we not? Well,"
she resumes aa a vigorous nodding
of beads answers affirmatively, "as
Thomaa and a few others know, af-c-r
thla morning I shall be the matron of
thla home no longer. My health has
alwaya been pour and now that Ln
uncle haa left me a little money, my
huaband Instate upon taking me to
the country, where 1 may regain ir.y
strength."
Tbe morning wore gloomily on. Tre
rain continued to descend In a splut
tering, dismal manner. With the con
ing of noon came the carriage also
that waa to take away the belovoci
matron, her husband and their little
son, who was the brightest gleam of
sunshine In that usually dreary home.
The farewells had been said, the
trio were seated in the carriage, the
driver had Just started his horses.
when a piercing, childish scream rose
ibove the drip, drip of tbe rain, and
'.he low sobbing of the inmates.
"Mamma, mamma! where Is my
Sojer Tom? I .tan't doe wlfout my
Sojer Tom!"
'.'Soldier Tom la not coming, dear.
There, there,'' she said soothingly, us
the child threw back hla head pre
paratory to an awful outburst "Per-
lapa we will send for him bye and

Tbe day wore on. Evening set in
lark and cold. True to her promise.
Mrs. Dodge bad left everything ln
eadlneaa for the party. Although
he Inmates of the home mUsed her
Teatly, still 'twas very seldom they
ad a chance to partake of Ice cream
nd candy. They were but human, so,
'rytng their teara, tbey were doing
ull rastlcce to the meal when some
m asked:
"Where is Soldier Tom?"
"Oh. up In the attic, I guess. He
voes there every night."
"What'a that?" asked Mrs. Dean.
'One of the men goea up Into the at
:1c every night? I'll soon stop that
nonsense!
Aa abe hustled out of the room the
men exchanged glances which dis
tinctly aald:
Mrs. Dodge has gone. We ahaU
mlsa ber."
Meanwhile old Thomas, sitting dis
consolately upon an old box ln a cor
ner -of the attic, an unllghted pipe ln
his. band, waa Interrupted by Mrs.
Dean.
"Well, what 1 the meaning of this?
Don't you know you're not allowed up

tually been smoking I"
"No, Mrs. Dean. I'm Just holding

"Mrs. Dodge! Mra. Dodge! I'm

and Mrs.. Dean telle you that you'll
come up here no more, and you'll
amoke no more after, hours! Do you
understand?"
"Yes, ma'am," quietly replied the
old man, "I understand, I understand,"
he murmured aadly, as he slowly left
tbe room.
Two weeks pasaed. and late ln the
afternoon of a cold, crisp day in De

The cause of death by lightning Is
tbe sudden absorption of the electric

Is highly charged with positive elec

earth beneath it becomes abnormally
charged with the negative electric
current, Bnd a man. animal or other
objuct standing or lying directly be

tioned Influence. If, while the man,
animal or other object is in this con
dition, a dischoise takes p'.ace froai
the cloud above the restoration ol
the equilibrium will be sudden and
violent, o.-, in language that we can all
understand, the negative current from
the earth will rush up to Join tho posi

through the object which separates
the two currents, if It be an animate

almost Invariably produce Instant

It has been made, on the contrary, a

may not be there, but the place exists
precisely where the s?holastlc theo
