J. Outt, of Joplin, was a visitor here yesterday. Miss Opal Wene has received a German relic from a friend who has been on the front, line in France. According to Legend of Ancient Gaul It Wu the Place of Bruin's Pen. ance at Behest of 'Indignant Saint Medard.

"The Field of the Bear," that is the interpretation of tfie name of that Ourscamp forest which figured so conspicuously In the good news of the irresistible advance of the utiles In the valley of the Olse. The ground to question forms a part of the thickly wooded massif which extends for a long distance along the left bank of the Olse, and In the center of like a diamond set In the heart of a huge emerald, lies the royal city of Com-plegne. But whence this curious name of Ourscamp Urscamp, Ursl Campus, the Field of the Bear? Listen to the legend of ancient Gaul. It was very, very long ago, when the bear and the aurochs divided between them northern Guul. and the puny two-legged creature man hud Just begun to Invade their "ancient, solitary reign." Bitterly did they resent the Invasion, and lndefutlgably did they put every conceivable obstacle In the way thereof.

But it was in vain. Little by little man forced his way In cutting down parts of the forest and turning over the surface soil with his plow; using to drag this Implement a tamed and spiritless cousin of the aurochs'. Because of that relationship, perhaps, the aurochs refrained from violent Interference with the plowing, but not so the bear. Ruthlessly the n.lghty filantlgrade rushed upon the yoke of oxen, struck down the fattest one and bore his carcass away to his den In the depth of the wood. Aggrieved at the loss, the plowman hastened to good St.

Medard, the bishop of N'oyon, and told him of the bear's foul deed. "It is enough," said the sniut. "Master Bear shall be taught a lesson that he will not soon forget." So lie went to the scene of the tragedy and easily traced the course of the hear from beside the plow in tin? unfinished furrow to his lair In the forest, where lie found him gorged his ill-gotten prey. "So, tli. murderous glutton!" ex Lanis Wene was the guest of friends in Galena yesterday.

A German church journal tells the story of a professor, a conscientious man, who from the beginning of the war made up his mind to give strict obedience to any laws that might be laid down by those placed above him. Most scrupulously did he observe all the food regulations. Never once did he give way to "hanistering" and the clandestine food trafficker knew him not.

This is most gratifying to the producers of the Missouri-Kansas-Oklahoma lead and zinc field. It is gratifying in more ways than one. First, it will give the operator a chance to get a good price for his ore, second, it sometimes is a hard matter for the small man to make ends meet with a low market. There is no question but what much better times are ahead for this mining field. Many new uses are being found for zinc ores through the efforts of persons directly See Spratt for Insurance.
