the magnificent speech Of our next

with wonderful oratory from JOY TO
sorrow and from great applause TO

of Democratic rule. and from the Still

first thing you knew there would be
q hawk just dropping out Of the sky
with his wings folded up, coming
down like q billet. Trouble was he
most generally got his chicken before
you could get you gun. and carry IT
off before your eyes"
Mr.. Smith stood this daily exasper-

tulated. Placing all his chickens in
a small yard he spread a mesh wire
over the fence rs protection. ON the
next day-last Tuesday, ne happened

but they would not have escaped if

il was. the hawk saw the obstruction
when he was only a few feet above it,
He spread out his wings TO stop, but
il was too late. The momentum of
the drop carried him into the wires
and made them ring ike an Italian

Correspondents at the front the past

here that the troops were too exhaust
ed by more than a week of titanic
struggle TO engage in an immediate
advance movement. Therefore the
news of the definite resumption of the
advance was calculated TO arouse the
greater satisfaction: but the realiZa-
ton of the significance of news per-
meates the masses here more slowly
than in American cities. The kaleid-
oscopic changes on the Shakhe have
been too swift for the populace to
