Sikh the Fiercest SoIdier.-Did you
ever see a Sikh in uniform? No. What
ever of fierceness your childhood fan
cy painted upon the face Of soldier
the Sikh has it. Other soldiers may be
as brave, or may fight more tenacious
", or die more willingly, but for sim
Pile fierceness of personal appearance,
all medals go to the Sikh.
He is so fierce to look at that l Won
der his English officer can calmly face
him without fear. You have read how
trainloads Of these East Indian troops
are hurrying across Canada to show
their fierce faces to the Germans.
Does not Caesar relate that the Ro-
man soldiers were frightened by the
terrible looks Of the early German
tribes? Now the boot goes upon the
other foot.
A Sikh-and I've seen many regi-
ments of them on their native heath
is tall man with black hair and a
long black beard The beard is what
makes him look so fierce, because he
plaits it into two thick braids and
draws these back Of his ears, where
they are tied.
If you think that doesn't make
soldier look fierce, you make sad err
ror, which one glance at him would
correct.
The Sikhs are Hindus, and so strict
are their religious beliefs that all the
food they eat must be especially pre-
pared according to their own rites

and watched the German artillery
smash up their previous aeroplanes
and the Belgians' sheds.
Escaped From Antwerp.
When they found all question OF
getting the machines out was hope
less. they trooped off to Antwerp, only
to find that the order for the evacua-
ton of the city had been given, and
that both troops and inhabitants were
then busy clearing out.
With some difficulty they got hold
of cars and made off for the coast.
and am told that the worst part OF
their journey was crossing the bridge
over the canal. which was then
blazing river of burning oil, with the
flames licking over the parapets OF
the bridge. So fierce was the heat
that they had to shield their faces
with their hands as they crossed.
Eventually, after travelling miles over
roads crowded with refugees, they
got safely back to the naval air SER
vice base.

barossa saw his men falter on the

barossa saw his men falter on the
brink, afraid to cross, he. though an
old man. pressed his charger into the
flood and started to swim it. But the
current was too swift and his mount
was swept off his feet. Later they
dragged old Barbarossa out of the
bank, breathing his last.
The fame of the Emperor Fred
erick II, surnamed Barbarossa, the
conqueror of northern Italy, was too
great for his people to credit the re-
port of his death. When that report
was borne back to the fatherland by
Pilgrams, the people declined to be-
lieve it. 1t appeared to be confirmed
by the more reliable reports of the
paladins, who had fought with the
emperor, but the people still refused
to believe that so great a ruler could
be dead He had been famed through
out his dominions for his justice to the
common people and Fritz Rothbart
was a popular emperor. SO. out of
their devotion to their idol. they form
ed the basis Of the legend which has
been handed down to this day.
Barbarossa was not dead, but
slept. they said. Weary Of conquering,
he had retired to a secret castle in the
heart of the Black Forest Of Silesia.
and there had laid himself down upon
an enchanted catafalque which night
and day. year in and year out, cen
tury in and century out. was to be
guarded by black dwarfs and elves.
There he would rest from his warning
until the hour of Germanys greatest
need should arrive. Then at a touch
from the wand Of the king Of elves,
Barbarossa would rise, don his ar
NOR and sally forth at the head Of q
ghostly troop to lead the Germans to
the greatest enduring liberty and ma
tional supremacy. The first sign Of
the coming of Barbarossa would be
the glow Of his flaming red beard
over the land, they said.
Those of the German people who
have strain OF Slavic blood In thelr
veins have the strongest faith in the
legend The peasantry Of Austria
and Hungary believe the tradition
implicitly. They attribute to Barbar-
osa all the weird wizardry that only
a Slavic people can conceive.
The more ignorant peasantry it
is stated, actually look for the appear
ance Of Barbarossa in medieval ar
NOR, in the very person in which he
laid himself down to sleep through
the centuries. Others, more enlight-
ened, will see in any great military
leader who may rise and lead the
armies of the empire to successful
issue a reincarnation of Frederick
Barbarossa.

Forewarned.-Severa years ago, be-
fore his election to the presidency,
William H. Taft was campaigning in
the west and stopped at the home Of
an old friend, says the Pathfinder. The
friends home was small and poorly
built and as the presidential candidate
walked about in his little room the un-
substantial building fairly shook be-
meath his tread. When ne climbed into
bed the dilapidated affair broke down,
precipitating him unceremoniously to
the floor. His friend hurried to his
door to ascertain the cause Of the COM
motion What's the matter, Bill?" he
asked.
"Oh, I'm all right, 1 guess" replied
Mr. Taft good-naturedly. But say
Joe, If you don't find me in this room in
the morning, look in the cellar"

Lack of Comma Did lit is the
custom of a minister in certain sea-
board town to read in church the re-
quests for the prayers Of the congre-
cation.
Not long ago the minister was absent
and a city clergyman, who did not
know the custom, officiated in his
place.
At the usual time the deacon handed
the notices to the minister. explaining
what was to be done with them. In
few minutes the congregation was
startled to hear:
"A man going to see his wife desires
the prayers of the congregation for his
safe return"
The notice really read "A man 60
ing to sea, his wife desires the prayers
of the congregation for his safe re-
turn"

No Time to Lose.-One young man,
who was highly sensitive about an i'm
pediment which he had in his speech,
went to a Stammerers' institute and
asked for a course Of treatment. The
professor asked him if he wanted a
full or a partial course.
"A p-p-partial c-c-course."
ITO what extent would you like a
partial course?"

Scored on Father.-He was the son
Of worthy manufacturer and had
just returned from abroad. His father,

veyed his offspring, who was tagged

distinct disapproval. Young man." he
blurted out, you look like an idiot"
Just at that moment and before the
youth had time to make a fitting re-
ply. a friend walked in.

The Moral Of the story.-The kin
dergarten teacher recited to her pu-
pills the story of the wolf and the lamb.
AS she completed it she said
Now, children, you see that the
lamb would not have been eaten by
the wolf if he had been good and SEN
sible."
One little boy raised his hand.
