And yet heasof the new ; "tAool of physicians He clung to 'the saddle-bags not so much from custom as for the mattter of convenience in carrying thi -v medicines common to his prac : tice, for it was too often the case that he not only prescribed forthe patient's ailment, hut ' provided the medicines needed v from nis private stores. . it - is scarcely necessary to say that Dr. Pariier was a man beloved b.v the mountain people.

S: '':'T The eastern boundary of Fraare divides itself into four very near ly equal sections, Italy and Swit zerland are the lower quarters of this bouudary line and of the'up. per quarters Belgium Is the larg r and Germany the smaller. Tb southern - half of the Qehnan boundary is a mountain ran, and on the open sections stad the great fortifications pt France and Germany; regarded by both countries as practically imprty' nigable. The defense of France on the Belgium frontier was the treaty . which guaranteed the neutrality of the smaller coun try. . ' " ' ; ' When'Gerraanay's conquering hosts came through Belgium the war soon became a battle of hu man beings rather than of forti fications. Neither the French ndr the Germans had learned from practical experience the modern art of fighting human legions in ground trenches, but both sides quickly betook themselves to this rabbit method of warfare. Today from Switzerland to the North Sea is a wall of 4,000,000 men all fighting not only for their existence, but for the existence of of their . nationality their na tional ideas They are protected by aeroplanes, flying above, that keep watch of any large move ments. They are backed by 4,000,000 men in reserve and training, who keep the trenches filled with fight ing men, as 10,000 to 20,000 daily retire to mother. earth to the hospitals or the camp of the imprisoned. On the North Sea and the English Channel they are supported by fleets of battle ships, cruisers, snbmarines and torpedo boat destroyers that oc casionally "scrap" with each oth er, the German boats now and then attacking the English coast and harbors and tbe English boats now and then assisting to mow down the German troops when they approach too near the coast. But the great dread and key to this naval warfare is the modern submarine. On Christmas day abou 2 o' clock, Luther Reid, Russell Grif- ge and West Tilly made their . . . A . 9' escape from tne county jan where they were confined on mi nor criminal charges. In some way they secured a hack saw and cut the iron bars over the win dows in two and let themselves down to the ground by tying blankets together. The officers have not yet been able to cap ture the boys. Lenoir Topic. WHY so ttm KidBiy Trsacln May h Year Lift Away.
