THE RETURNING WANDERER
On one bright Sabbath morning the
church bells were ringing,
And the May blossom bIoomed thro' the
neither and thorn,
While above the white clouds the skylark
was singing.
AS I returned to the cottage in which
l was born.
had wandered afar over beautiful noun
tains,
But midst all their grandeur my heart
was forlorn,
AS a thirsty man longs for bright,
sparkling fountain
1 longed for the cottage in which l was
born.
The laburnum drops its long, golden
fingers,
And the sparrow peeped through the old
moss-covered tf1atch,
As the garden gate swung on ITS old rus
ty hinges,
And my heart gave sigh as l lifted
the latch.
For / knew that strange faces at that
doorway would meet me,
AMI the friends of my youth TO yon
churchyard were borne.
Yet 1 almost expected my mother would
greet me,
As 1 entered the cottage In which I was

MAJOR MARSHALL AND CAPTAIN
 CORE

The interest increases as the meetings progress, The major is a remarkable young woman and has a record of re- markable service. Converted in an army meeting when girl she at once became intensely interested In General Booths work She was drafted to Paris, where her fluency in French and her intense religious zeal made her of great assist ance to General Booths daughter who was in charge of the work there From Paris she went to Geneva and later to Nuchatel, Switzerland. This was in the army's day of bitter persecution. By Calvin's theological descendants the frail girls with red jackets and poke bonnets were mobbed and beaten in the streets-the same streets whereon cen- turies before men and woman had laid down their lives for freedom of wor- ship. The majors co-laborer was sub jected to frightful brutality, but, all though in the thick of it herself she es- capped unhurt. One of the army men

Many Collins Manufactured Here for
 Manila.
 The New Haven branch of the Ma tional Casket company, which was pre- viously the New Haven Casket compa- ny has just shipped a large government order, consisting of 326 caskets and boxes, to Manila. These caskets are built after the government specifications and are very fine, though simple in con- struction@
 The caskets are made of imitation oak, are metallic lined and the top is solid so that tke casket can be hermetically sealed for shipment to the United States. The outside box is made of es- pecially picked pine one and one-half inches in thickness.
 Throughout the war the National Caslet company has had the largest part of the government orders, and sent large numbers to the camp which was established at Montauk Point. The company has jobbing houses and fac tories all over the United States, hav- ing in all twenty-tw houses and fac tories. The Manila order was shipped all the way by transport, being sent from here to Central pier, Atlantic dock, in Brooklyn.

was beaten to death and others were marked for life.
 After fierce campaign in Switzer- land she was drafted to the channel is lands and did service in Jersey and in Guernsey. From there she came to America. She has been here nine years. Previous to the secession of Ballngton Booth Miss Marshall had charge of the army auxiliary, but since that time has done more to interpret the aims, life and service of the army to the wealthy and cultured than any other woman in America.
 Although the sister of poverty for the sake of service, this intrepid young leader Is the equal of the upper ten in the refnements of life, and consequent ly commands the respect and attention of those who deny it to the common army soldier.
 The meetings will continue nightly at 7:30. On Sunday morning the major will speak on her experiences in Switz erland.
