The hero on the battlefield
His soul with courage rife.
Would rather die upon his shield
Than lead "A towards life
upborne by faith the martyr can
Walk bravely to the stake
Death has no tcrrors for the man
Who dies for conscience sake
Yet "bravest of the brave" are they
Who. drcading death. yet dare
To face it when In duty's way.
No matter where they are
And such were they OF whom pen
This tribute: were IL mine
T. immortalizc heroic men,
Each name OF theirs should shine.
With glory on their country's page.
Already great with fame:
But greater still in this great age
With SCOTS Respondent name
His courage death could not defeat,
In its most awful form:
No harbor. shelter or retreat
From fierce Antarctic storm.
Although no shaft can tell their wortl
Beneath these Arctic skies.
The best remembered place on earth
Is where hero dies.
Though all the flowers we can bear
Are from affections stem.
God loves the brave. knows where they
are.
And He will care for them.
May God console the stricken one
In sorrow long and keen,
And bless the tender little son
Which he had never seen.

! With Its usual inquisitivencss. the
Chicago Tribune has been trying to
find out why women marry as they
DO. and TO that end has been holding
very interesting contest. In this it
prints the letters Of women who are
willing TO explain their choice of a
husband and. to make the matter in

wife who gives the best reason or
the best excuse for her marital con
dition.

the contrary. we expect that the brief
chronicles of domestic felicity which
the Tribune is able to print arc care

OIL explanations to the effect that wom-

But the series of answers is very
interesting and gives some very good
examples of that battling feminine
psychology which no normal man pre-
tends TO understand. For instance one
woman writes in the last installrncnt
OF the contest that she married her
husband because he was the first nor-
son L ever met who could make me

goes on to explain that she had ALWAYS

ticularly foolish and he refused. 1t

any one had ever crossed my will.

This is we'll enough. and very cred
liable to the Romeo who knew how to
play the main chance; but one won
ders how this treatment would have
reacted in the case of another Of tho
Tribune's correspondents. who admits
mat she was 'queer-queer in looks

There are others in this array OF
reasons why women married-others
equally as unique and equally an dan
gerous as precedents. We suspect
however. that were all these women

their choice it would bc-"bccauso
