Belgium occupies the position of
an innocent bystander who object-
ed to being trod upon and in the
scuffle losi everything. However,
let us hope that it is only tempor*
arv. and that with the close of the
war the little country, which is
only ten times larger than Frio
County, will be restored to her
place among the great little
nations of the earth—and with the
respect and admiration of the
whole world.
The Leader shipped about 30
additional packages of nuts to San
Antonio Tuesday night to be for-
warded to the Christmas Ship,

Election day was a quiet affair
in Frio County Tuesday, as it has
always been since the first pri-
mary election was held. It was
simply a ratification of the July
nominations, and many citizens
did not trouble themselves to go
to the polls
Frio County is now prepared to
take good care of the most “des
prit” kind of criminals. A war-
rant was issued last week for
$3600 in payment for work on the
jail, including a new roof and
steel lining.
With orders coming in from
foreign countries for American
cotton the price is picking up a
little and may reach eight cents in
another week. ,
In spite of the cry of hard times
we all look well fed, and we have
ward of no one going hungry yet!

The Current Events Club held a
very interesting meeting on Octo
ber 24, at the home of Miss Celes-
tina Bilhartz. Roll call was re
sponded to with general current
events. To carry out the idea of
Hallowe’en the rooms were deco-
rated with yellow pumpkins. A
. < ry unique decoration was the
iollowed out pumpkins for vases
filled with large bouquets of yellow
cosmos. Owing'to a4ong business
session two of the members on the
program were left over until next
time Lovely refreshments con-
sisting of Angel Food cake and
ice cream heaped with whipped
cream and cherries was served.
The favors were small boxes
tilled with candies and a fortune

LIFE'S TASK WELL PERFORMED
BY J. F. KIMBALL.
Who will think of me when I am dead?
Often I, myself, am made to ask,
When in the grave is laid my painless
head,
And the flesh no longer feels Life's
bitter task.
Up Life’s rugged hill I’ve climbed,
While many an adverse wind my path
has swept,
And oft’ Temptation has my heart in-
clined,
Yet Providence my life in peace has
kept.
And, oh. though restless soul of mine,
The world thine inward struggle hath
not known,
Keep thou faith and hope—lightsdivine,
While thou, upward to the skies art
borne.
Hut what care I for wealth or fame,
When time’s record for me is gone?
Though in memory no one holds my
name,
veil on earth my task I’ve done?

'confiscate the edition.

Newspaper Issues Often Suppressed
by ths Austrian Censors.
"By order of the ‘royal press court’
this issue of your paper is hereby
confiscated for printing news which
the court considers should not be made
public.” A policeman,-“With a sword
dangling at his side and holding in his
hand an official document with an im-
posing seal on it, enters the managing
editor’s room and delivers the decree.
It is the famous Austrian press cen-
sorship and confiscation machines call-
ed for short the "confiscation appara-
tus,” at work. Down below the bi
presses are thundering along on th<
last few thousand copies of a big cir-
culation. It is 3 o’clock in the morn-
ing—too late to "make over" by tear-
ing out the offending article or news
item, putting something else in Its
place and reprinting the entire edition.
From the numerous rooms which
make up the editorial sanctum there
rolls one "Donnerwetter!” and "Ver-
dammt!" after another. The managing
editor orders a small sheet, not much
larger than a handbill, hastily printed,
that will tell the subscribers why they
will not receive their paper that morn-
ing.
This Is a scene which bas taken
place frequently in Viennese newspa-
per offices lately. One afternoon re-
cently the editions of five evening pa-
pers were confiscated. Probably no ed-
itors in the world can tell as many in-
teresting stories of news that never
reached their readers as the Viennese.
From an American viewpoint of a
free press the Austrian press laws,
press censorship and "confiscation ap-
paratus” is about the most absurd and
antiquated Institution in existence.
Apparently It was created largely for
the purpose of keeping the truth from
the public.
In Austria books, pictures, illustrat-
ed catalogues, price lists, handbills, ad-
vertisements and advertising literature,
newspapers, periodicals and publica-
tions which appear occasionally, signs
and signboards, posters—in fact, every-
thing that conveys meaning to the
mind by means of type, pictures or
symbols Is subject to censorship. Until
recently even private calling or “visit-
ing” cards were subject to censorship.
The printer had to lay a proof of a
card before the "press court” before he
could deliver the order.
Any district or superior court may
constitute itself a “press court” to pass
upon and order the confiscation of any
newspaper in its jurisdiction.—Vienna

TRICK OF THE FUNNEL
Archaisms In the Authorized Version.
In the real authorized version of
1611, King James’ Bible, are a good
many archaisms which the printers
have since modernized, such as “ought
him a hundred pence,” “yer” for “ere,’’
"biles” for “boils,” “fet” for "fetched,”
“gin” for "grin” (a trap), “moe” for
“more” and “all to" should be one
word at Judges ix, 53, “all to brake his
head,” where, however, the printers
have resisted the temptation to substi-
tute "break." In Psalm cxlv. 3. “Great
is the Lord and marvelous, worthy
to be praised,” there should be no com-
ma after “marvelous," which is an ad-
verb qualifying "worthy.” This cor-
rection has been made in recent pray-
er books —London Saturday Review.
Immigrants snd Literacy.
Scandinavians lead the world in point
of literacy. Among every twenty Ger-
man immigrants over fourteen years
old is found one illiterate. Of immi-
grants from other nations it is claim-
ed there is found an illiterate among
every twenty-three Dutch, thirty-eight
Irish, fifty-two Welsh, fifty-nine Bo-
hemians. seventy-seven Finnish, 100
English and 143 Scottish, but the pro-
portion among those who come from
Scandinavia is one in 250. Among the
Lithuanian immigrants and those from
southern Italy half of them read no
language.—Argonaut.

One Letter Namee.
O is a village of France, in the com-
mune of Mortree, at a distance of fif-
teen kilometers from Argentan, itself
at a distance of thirty-five kilometers
from Alencon. This Norman bamiet
has at last accounts twenty-three in-
habitants and the proud memory of
the extinct tnarquisate of O, which
dates buck to the crusades. The last
marquis, superintendent of the finances
of Henri III., lived a spendthrift and
died a pauper. Another instance of
single letter geography is Y, the arm
of the sea which penetrates the Nether-
lands.
A Wonderful Parrot.
The world’s record parrot is owned
by Baron Alfred de Rothschild, and he
paid for it a record sum. She sings
with effect quite a number of songs
In a voice like a banjo’s twang. She
speaks 200 words of German, can an-
swer reasonable queries, smartly re-
bukes those who ask silly ones and is
careful to remind her Aiterlocutors that
her full title is "Laura from Africa,
please"
Breathe Weii and Keep Well.
To breathe well helps to keep well.
To live longer and better make It a
habit to take some breathing exercise
each day Are you aware that ordina-
rily you use only one-tenth of your
lung space? Is it any wonder that
diseases of the respiratory tract are
contracted so easily?
Possible Definition.
"Why do they call lawyers’ papers
briefs?"
"Because by the time they get
through with them their clients are
nhort.”—Baltimore American.
Fraud and deceit are ever in a hur-
ry. Take time for all things.—Franklin.
Blowing Out a Light Through It Is
Easy if You Know How.
To blow out a candle, using u funnel
to blow through, seems a ridiculously
easy thing to do. But ask any friend
of yours to try it and see what hap-
pens. Ten to one he will try to blow
through the cup so as to force bis
breath through the narrow neck of the
funnel. As this is not an easy thing
to do he will flatten mouth and nose
in his endeavors, while trying to force
his face into the small cup. Then he
will reverse the funnel and blow into
the neck, and when he does not suc-
ceed in extinguishing the light he will
blow harder and harder and finally
he will admit that he Is beaten.
In blowing through the neck of the
funnel he has directed the funnel di-
rectly at the light, so that*the flame is
exactly opposite to the place where the
neck of funnel joins the cup. You, on
taking the funnel from him, incline the
funnel so that its upper edge is on a
level with the light. You blow gently.
The light is extinguished at the first
puff without any of the desperate ef-
fort which your friend put forth.
If you ponder a moment you will
realize why you succeeded and why
your friend failed. His breath on en-
tering the cup or funnel spread in alt
directions, and the tiny current of air
was dispersed upward and downward,
so that, as he neatly leveled the center
of the funnel at the flame, no current
of air ever reached It.
You. on the contrary, hold the upper
wall of the funnel on a level with the
flame. The current of air started by
your breath, on reaching the edge
of the wall, streamed onward in the
direction given it by the restraining
wall and on reaching the flame snuffed
it out—Boston American.

BRINGING DOWN A PICTURE.
Honnor Had a Way of Making the
Louvre Officiala See tha Light.
It is a pity that Henner is dead. He
had found an excellent means to force
the conservators at the Louvre to bring
down the pictures that be judged had
been placed too high. He made use
of this method In the case of “Su-
sanne au Bain” (“Susanna at the
Bath”) of Tintoretto.
Twenty years ago this masterpiece
was hung in the gallery four meters
from the floor.
Henner was furious at this injustice.
But be did not permit his anger to ap-
pear. He contented himself with com-
ing from time to time in the morning
before the visitors were numerous in
the halls and in the most courteous
tone requesting the keepers to furnish
him a -large double ladder.
The keepers referred the matter to
the conservators, saying that this lad-
der was asked by M. Henner, and they
were impressed with the necessity of
responding to the wish of the old mas-
ter.
Then he placed the ladder before Su-
sanna; mounted the steps slowly and.
when at the top, remained a \ quarter
of an hour absorbed iu the contempla-
tion of the marvelous painting^
He then descended as phlegmatically
and, with a fine smile, said in his Al-
satian jargon: “Merci pour 1’ejelje. Je
suis dres gontent!” (“Thanks for the
ladder. I am much pleased!”)
He went through this maneuver half
a dozen times at intervals.
At last the conservators understood.
They had “Susanne au Bain” unbook-
ed and gave It a place of honor in the
square salon, where it Is now.—Cri de
Paris.
Tax on Hato.
Not only have bats at various times
been subject to taxation, but have
even been made the subject of special
laws. Thus in Henry Vll.’s reign none
was allowed to sell hats at a larger
price than 20 pence or caps for more
than 2s. 8d.
Some compensation, however, for
this interference with free trade conld
be found in the fact that in 1571 oo
Sundays and holidays every one above
seven years of age was required to
wear a cap of wool of English make
under penalty of 3 farthings’ fine for
every day’s neglect—London Chroni-
cle.

The Rabbit's Danger 8ignal.
So long ns it sits still the ordinary
rabbit is almost indistinguishable in a
field of bracken, stubble or dry grass,
but as soon as it begins to run toward
its burrow the white patch on its tail
betrays it. This white patch, which
at first seems like a failure of adapta-
tion. bas its special function—it acts
as a danger signal to the young rabbits
and shows tbem the way by which
they can escape from the threatened
danger.—London Mail.
