The following is an ex tract from a Los Angeles paper: "She loves the name by which 'her boys' call her and is quite as proud of it as she is of the title handed down to her by a long line of aristocratic ancestors. The countess inherits the title of her father, as she is the only child. On the maternal side both grandfather and great grandfather were British admi rals, Sir James and Sir Charles Hill- yar. On the maternal side her grand father and great grandfather were French generals, the former being Gen. Charles, count De Caen.

A's, no K. C's or other club houses. The men were absolutely without en tertainment, and with only such com forts as could be found in their hastily made barracks. "The countess immediately set about to make those brave, lonely men com fortable. Her home was thrown open to them and they were welcome to go and come as they pleased. There was always a roaring fire, with books and stationary, and the men were served with delicious chocolate or coffee and cake. She introduced her American boys to the best families in France and their homes too, were thrown open to them at all times. "She kept in touch with the mothers, sisters or sweetheBrts of these boys, who for lack of time of for wounds or sickness could not write. It was not an uncommon thing for her to write 150 letters a week to those who were anxiously waiting to hear from the boy over the sea. "Countess De Caen is an official at tache of the Marquis De Keroman, del- ! egate to the Fifth Regent Orleans, who has fifty hospitals under his charge. She wears the medal of the Societe de Secour3 Blesses Militaires, given for four years of voluntary service. The countess was so impressed with the morale of the Americans in France she expressed herself enthusiastically over the courage and bravery of our men. She said that when the Americans ar rived and saw the wanton destruction wrought by the Germans, it served to spur them on, they yearned to punish the Germans. "The American soldiers always smile they whistle and try to appear indif ferent to their own pain, even though an arm may be missing, said she. "But years of strenuous work are telling on her, and so her American soldiers insisted that she needed and should take a rest, though they regret ted to lose her even for a short while. So she came to the United States and since her arrival has been showered with invitations from the mothers of "her boys," many of whom she h s visited. "In stature the countess is small, dresses simply though with excellent taste. She has a sweetness and charm of personality that is magnetic, coupled with the poise, the quiet easy bearing, free from any sign of affectation, the true marks of the real gentle woman. " 'Tell the American people,' said the countess, 'that the French people will never forget' their great kindness and help, and in their name accept the undying gratitude of France.' " Lieut. Ralph Jordan, son of Mrs. M. J. Jordan, with whom the countess is visiting, is one of "her boys" and she speaks in highest praise of Lieut. Jor dan's bravery as a soldier.

Total $746 14 Mysterious Fire A mysterious fire occurred at the home of Mr. Iver Hart, of Oakland township, last Friday, which has not been explained. Mrs. Hart had put her few weeks-old baby to bed in a 00m and went into the kitchen to pre pare a meal. Some time afterwards she heard the baby scream. When she mtered the room she found not only ;he bed on fire but the wall paper all over the room was burning. It is sup posed that some of the burning wall paper fell on the bed setting it on fire. A. hole was burned through the bed Nothing and the baby's face was badly scorched. Dr. Chapin was called in ind dressed the burns. It will recover. No one knows how the fire originated and it was soon extinguished. EASTER IN PITTSBORO Beautiful Sunshiny Weather Church Services Easter Sunday was an ideal day. The nleasant sunshine, the woods in their garb of green, birds singing and the . contented smiling faces of the citizens, 1 was enough to make the worst old . grouch feel good. It was an Easter j day seldom seen. Just cool enough to ! be pleasant it made people look back ! to the many Easter Sundays when the weather was cold or it was raining. j The ladies were out in their new j spring hats and dresses and, although , they look good at all times, Sunday was an exception and they simply outshone I themselves. Services were held in three of the churches here and all had good congre gations. Easter Monday was the day. It has been a long time since such an Easter Monday dawned on the people of Pitts boro, and the younger set, the older set and the grown-ups took advantage of it. Truck loads of young people went out picnicing at different points, with plenty of eats, and enjoyed the day to their heart's content. The banks, the county officers, the manufacturing plants were put out o f commission by the holiday fever.
