Show PIUTE COUNTY NEWS. JUNCTION, UTAH O I QUEER QUIRKS THROUGH A WOMANS EYES IN HUMAN i I DESTINY By JEAN NEWTON U.C), by the A New WNU Indoor Sport Leonard Merrick sponsors a new Indoor sport. It Is one that Is not so much unknown ns Ignored by ninny people who would find It n (treat source of entertainment and pleasure, Hnd It may he that an Introduction of It ns something new will capture the consciousness of those who do not yet enjoy It. The new," or newly discovered Indoor sport is reading aloud. And in support of It Leonard Merrick, famous for Ills charming stories of the Paris boulevards, tells us that he writes his stories particularly with a 'lew to their being read aloud! It was nt a meeting of the New York lranm Iiept rtory circle that Mr. Merrick told the world that he writes Ids stories to he rend aloud; that he wants them to he read aloud, because lie himself never knew how good they were until he heard them read aloud! It was nt this meeting, too, that I learned how much some people get out of the Indoor sport of reading aloud, and determined to pass this on as a suggestion to our women readers. I spoke with n woman who lives In a small town In New York state. When we are nt home, she said, oiir opportunities for entertainment, ns for culture, are only those which we muke for ourselves. Up to a short time ago our evenings nt home presented quite a problem. "And one day when I wns In town attending n meeting of the Iiramn Repertory circle It occurred to me that we could have a reading circle right In our own home. We tried it, and ever since when we are ut home in the evening we read aloud. I, who am fond of alolng the work, rend perhaps more than the others, hut all at some time take turns. We have found it fascinating, and we no. longer wonder nightly what are we going to do tonight. We have found entertainment, and we have, of course, benefited by the greater amount of rending which we nre doing. We cover everything from whole novels to poetry and the magazines and even newspapers. One of my sons, who Is a sculptor, frequently brings In his work, at which he continues throughout the evening, while we are taking turns at rending aloud! The Idea Is a gem for mnklng your evening at home live, interesting and entertaining for your family. The better you rend aloud, of course, the more entertaining It will he and the more enthusiastic the others will he about taking their part.

Ills spirits had risen, however, and lie believed that the tide at last had turned In his favor. General Vandamine, in the enemys rear, was expected to complete the annihilation of the retreating Russians and Prussians. He failed, partly through his own weak tactics and partly through Napoleons failure to pursue his advantage. The latter was laid low by an attack of illness, which some attributed to exposure and exhaustion, hut which the emperor, himself, said was nothing but an attack of indigestion caused stew seasoned with by a wretched garlie, which cannot endure. The Napoleonic army was cut to pieces in its subsequent retreat and from that time. August, 1S1.3, misfortune dogged the steps of the emperor of tlie French.
