seems scarce a day to me.
Since we buried our dead. with the battle
rain wet.
On that hill by the Tennessee.
A bugler in gray came down to the shore.
And signaled a truce to the blue;
Two captains rode out, mid the wrank
and the gore.-
We met meath a tree. where two young
soldiers lay;
We shouted. but they gave no sign;
The one was your brother. who'd falfn
in the fray.
The other was brother of mine.
There. under that oak. we made them one
grave,
And your eyes and my eyes were damp.
As we cut in the bark: They were foe
men and brave!"
Then each turned and rode back to his
camp.
Like true men you fought, till fighting
was vain.
For those who drew sword on your side,
But I've prayed since that day to meet
you again.
And to talk of our brothers who died.
To talk of the hunger. the march. and
the strife.
OF the SHOWS and the summers fierce
heat.
And to say: 1--WE are stronger for know
ing that life.

Germany keeps step with Switzerland
they each do thirty-one inches-while
Twenty-Five inches Is the pace IN the

The Russians take the shortest step,
twenty-seven and one-half inches, and
do only 112 in a minute. The German
infantryman does lis. the Austrian

rectory makes by an interrupted
buzz" which your imagination,
without undue stretching, should
interpret easily as line busy, line
busy, line busy"
A subscriber tells us that to him
it seems to say Go to, go to, go
to-" We think the profanity was
in his mind rather than in the ap-
paratus. When next time on at
tempting connection you get the
busy buzz" stop, think. Do not
be in a hurry to call the office and
damn the operator, the system
and all corporations in general,
Before you blame others ask your
self do | ever visit over the tel
ephone?" While you are retail
ing at length the latest gossip
a neighbor may be in a foaming
hurry to summon the veterinary

Thoughtful considerationwill save
other subscribers the annoyance
of the busy signal and this office
valuable time.
Courtesy and a spirit prompt to
oblige are enjoined upon all our
employees. We ask you to believe
thatwe are doing our best to serve
you. A telephone system is a
public utility, peculiarly public,
1t is essential to the efficient eX-
istence of a modern community.
And without the support and CO.
operation of the public it is inn
possible for us to give the best OF
service.
Remember our last letter.
When in trouble call the office
promptly. Do not wait several

Unless you report we may not
know you are in trouble. Explain
your trouble carefully, Unless
you report fully we cannot In

The st. Louis authorities, if they
knew of the Hood River city councils S
experience with bees, would undoubt-
edly ask for advice. Traffic on the
Belleville public square in st. Louis,
came to a halt last week and citizens
hurried for shelterng doors when a
swarm of bees suddenly appeared over
the squrae and filled it with a dronng
that could be heard for a block. The
swarm alighted on tree in front of
the National hotel.
Henry Funk, a Belleville man, who
knows something about bees, got lad
der and a saw and sawed off the limb
holding the swarm. Next Funk got a
big box and set it on bed sheet, lay
ing the limbs in front of hole he had
cut. Presently there was a rush as
the bees discovered the box and pre-
empted it for their new home.
There are several apiaries to the
south of Belleville and it is believed
the bees came from zone of these.
Funk handled the swarm like an eK-
pert, and although at times he was al
most covered by the bees he did not
get single sting.
