Inside the hospital tent a naked suffer-

That speech" says historian, put

An Ed1tor,s Hard Lot.

A melancholy picture of an edi-
tors life in the State of Washing
ton is drawn by the Roslyn { Mich. }
Sentinel:
"Tbere are always those who
will kick. For instance. if you
publish jokes with whiskers on
them, some will say you ought TO
be in lunatic joint. IF you don't
print something to smile at, they
say you are a pessimistic fossil. If
you spread yourself and write a
good, original article. they viii say
it is stolen. If you reprint an ar
tiole, they say you can't write. If
you, say a deserving word for a
man, you are partial; if you COM
pliment the ladies, the men are
jealous; and if you don't the YER
dict of the ladies is to the effect
that your paper is not fit to use in
the construction of hustle. If
you stay in your Office, you are
afraid to remain on the streets; IT
you do, you are lazy. If you look
seedS, you are squandering your
money; if you wear good clothes.
you are dude and don't pay for
them. If you play social game
of any kind and get stuck, you are
a fish; if you win, you are a tin
horn, and so it goes through one
continual round of pleasant COM
plications."

i SOLDIER PREACHER
Fine sermon From a West Viz
ginia luartermaster Ser

Seant.
The sermon of the Rev. Count
w. e. I. d'Argent, the member Of
the Second West Virginia Regi-
ment who preached at the First
Presbyterian Church Sunday night
made decidedly favorable i'm
preston on the large congrega-
ton that gathered to hear him.
The big church was crowded when
the services began, hardly seat
being vacant. The soldier-preach-
er appeared in his uniform in the
pulpit, with the quartermaster
sergeant's stripes on his arm. He
chose for his text Philippians, IL:
IL and 13: Work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling;
for it is God which worketh in
you both to will and to do of his
own good pleasure " The quick,
direct manner in which he launch
ed into the body of his discourse
and his rapid but distinct articu-
lation indicated the soldier, while
the profoundness of his logic, his
torical illustration and delightful
and apt comparisons told of the
theologian. He had remarkable
flow of language and the attention
of the audience was kept riveted
upon the speaker throughout.
There was no attempt at oratory
in his style; it was captivating in
its simplicity. There was just
enough of the French accent
about his articulation to make it
attractive without marring its dis
tinctness.
Count d'Argent is member of
the French nobility, being ma
tive of the province of Champagne,
in the eastern portion of France.
He came to America about 10
years ago. He was formerly pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Gal
lipolis, Ohio, but lately resided at
Point Pleasant, W. Va. He vol
unteered with Company B of his
regiment, entering the service as a
private and expecting to fight.
He was afterward, made Quarter
master Sergeant. and the members
of his regiment say he is the best
quartermaster sergeant in the
corps. He is very popular among
the men. His manner is simple,
sincere and cordial, yet not gushing
or patronizing -Greenville, IS.
