A HEROIC DEFENSE
Story Of "The Last Cartridges"
and the French Marines.

A famous French battle painting
called The Last Cartridges" the work
of Alphonse de Melville. represents the
desperate defense of an old house at
Bazeilles by a handful OF French ma
rines against great odds. Doubt hav-
ing been cast upon the authenticity OF
this episode. the French government
has published the official report made
by Commandant Lambert. who com.
manded the detachment at BazelIes.
The report is simply a plain. unvar-
nished recital of the events OF thrill

story as it was recounted by the brave
commandant:

could distinguish perfectly we'll from

IN MEMORY OF BROTHER
W. p. T0SSELL
Masonic Hall, Deming, n. NJ,
June l6, 1913.


The somber draping of our Lodge,
the funeral chime and the hearts
sadness remind us that the soul of
another Brother has passed from
this place of preparation ITO the
Island of the Blessed in the Land of
the Hereafter" Near thirty years
ago we greeted Brother W. p. Tos-
sell, ian upright man and Mason"
and from that time to the hour of his
death did he walk and act as such.
A Mason in all the name implies, II
Christian gentleman whose love for
his fellow man no sectarian creed
nor selfish dogma could lessen. His
whole life assures he has passed to
the glorious future dreamed of by
kipling:
"When Earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colors have faded
And the Youngest critic has died.
We shall rest--and. faith, we shall
need it
Lie down for an aeon or two.
Till the Master of all Good Workmcn
Shall set Us to work anew!
And only the Master shall praise Ms
And only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money
And no one shall work for fame:
But each for the joy of the working
And each in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing a. he sees ii
For the God of the Things as they
are"
To the sorrowing family of our de
parted Brother We extend our Ma
sonic sympathy and join with then
in mourning the parting from 80 goo'
man; but the Christian faith tina
sustained him through the trials an'
ills of thi, life. and in which the!
shared, assures To them II reunlIln!
in the blssful home eternal. This i
the rainbow they can look upol
through their tears of today, for
The soul would have no ranbov
Had the eye no tears
