tho building burst open, and out broke 80
school children. SCHOOLS outr' they
shouted, and u caravan Of children scram-
bled for the horses. In moment tho
youngsters had mounted and were riding
heller skelter over the prairie. The Texas
mustangs seemed to scent tho frolic and
kicked up their heels as they galloped
home with the school children With their
dinner pals juggling on poInmes of the
saddles, and their dresses and jackets wav-
ing in the wind, they looked like mad

About IS years ago there went forth
from our northern and southern homes
hundreds OF thousands of men to do bat.
tie. All tho poetry of war soon vanished and
left them nothing but the terrible prose
They waded knco deep in mud. They slept
in snow banbs. They marched till their
cut feet tracked the earth. They were
swindlod out of their honest rations and
lived on meat not fit for dog. They had
jaws fractured and Dyes cxtinguished and
limbs shot away. Thousands of them cried
for wator as they lay on the field tho night
