How Modern Projectiles Affect the
Senses on Battlefield.
Only those who lie in the firing line
and hear. the constant screech of the
shells as they cleave their terrible
way through the air above know the
true sounds of modern war. The
whip-like smack of the bursting
shells, the swish of the scattering bul.

screech of these damned messengers
of death as they pursue each other, as
if in competition to complete the aw-
full object of their hideous mission.
The whole welkin is discordant with
their tumult; you feel the rush Of mis-.
placed air; splinters sing in your
ears; the earth is in constant tremble
with the violence of the discharge;
you feel it pulsate against your cheek,
pressed to the moist mud of the para
pet, and then bullet saps the life
blood of the comrade whose elbow has
touched yours day and night for forty
hours. There is a limit to human en-
durance in these straits Worlds

PEASANTS ARE PROUD.
Gudhrandsdalen People Trace Their
Ancestry to Important Conqueror.

Gudhrandsdalen People Trace Their
Ancestry to important Conqueror.
The peasants of Gulbrandsdalen. IN
CentraLSouthern Norway, are very
proud of their ancestry, writes a CORE
spondent of the New York Post. They
claim to be direct descendants form
Harald Haarfagre, who, after defeat
ing the many petty Norwegian kings
in 872. made himself sole ruler OF the
land Those royal peasants consider 1t
beneath their dignity to marry outside
their own class. The result is that IN
Gulbrandsdalen there are more cretlns
and degenerates than in any other part
of the land. The following case illus
trative of this family pride came under
my observation:
Thor Sve, now dead, was some years
ago one, of the wealthieste farmers in
his county; but his chief claim to out
side notice was the unusual beauty Oh
his three daughters. For the home ed
ucation of these girls Thor Sye en-
ployed the best foreign teachers While
availing themselves of their many adj
vantages, the girls did not object to
the picturesque peasant costume, on
which their father insisted.
One day know this sounds bit
like romance-the 1S-year-old MART
stood by gate which opened on pri-
vate road, when a good-looking, we'll
mounted stranger came riding up. He
raised his hat to the beautiful MART,
and was about to dismount. when she
opened the gate and bowed for him to
pass. At first sight the hOrseman fell
in love with the girl. Being single and
gentleman. the man sought out Thor
Sve and boldly asked for the hand of
MART. He said he was an Englishman
of wealth and position, but this had
no effect on the royal peasant. Il will
look into it, was the only response.
Finding that MART reciprocated the
strangers love, Thor Sve at once start
ed for England. There he learned that
the young man had actually under
stated his wealth and position, for he
belonged to the nobility. Returning to
Norway, the peasant gave his consent
to the marriage Of his daughter, and
never, since the days of Harald Haar-
fagre, was there such grand event.
But the other kinsmen were not salts
fed. Sadly they shook their heads
and muttered: "It is a disgrace that
MART should marry outside the fam
ily.'
The Englishman took his bride to
his own country, where her beauty
made a sensation. They return to
Norway every summer, living at Gull
brandsdalen, where they have built a
fine house and where they are glad to
entertain the other descendants OF
Harald Haarfagre and all the less roy
al who come within their gates

Forcible Expression of Opinion as to

One day a man charged with grand

Of him: 'Have you formed or express

of course, simply yes or no. Brown
electrified the court room by shouting
back: eyes, sir; he's guilty as hell"
He was excused, amid roars of laugh
