electric plants, looked anxiously
ahead. and suggested more SPEED. The
navigator kept his watch in hand,
grudging the minutes 1t took to get us
home, but he could think of no faster
available, and SO had to
continue his journey by water. In
less than two hours from Burlington
the Illiamo was whizzing through the
entrance to the forebay and moment
later danced up to her dock and the
navigator was spurning the concrete
wall beneath his feet getting to the
power house.

IN MEMORIAM.


In sad but loving remembrance Of our dear
daughter and sister Hattie May Utefmahlen, who
departed this life Nov. Is, 1913.
There is a grief that cannot find comfort,
And wounds that cannot be healed,
And the sorrow too deep in human heart,
That cannot be revealed.
The Lord took my daughter from me.
1t was his Holy will;
And left in our hearts a vacancy.
Which no one else can fill
BY HER MOTHER.
We loved her. yes we loved her,
But Jesus loved her more,
And he has gently called her,
To yonder shining shore.
The golden gate was open.
A gentle voice said, comei
And with farewell unspoken,
She calmly entered home
BY HER FATHER.
often sit and think Of you,
When am all alone,
For memory is tho only thing.
That grief can call its own.
One year has passed. my heart still sore
AS time flies on l miss her more
She sleeps. leave her in peace to rest.
The parting was painful but God knows best.
BY HER BROTHER CHARLES.
Oh dearest, sweetest sister,
Since you have passed away,
1t seems not it was year ago
But only yesterday
As the evening sun is setting,
OTC Times ms we SlC Alone
In our hearts there comes a feeling,
That our dear sister Hattie must come home.
o, may we meet our sister.
Where friends more shall weep.
For those who die in Jesus.
Their death is only sleep.
BY HER SISTER MARGARET.
One year has passed, my heart still sore
q" As time flies on miss thee more;
She sleepgl We leave her i'm peace to rest
The parting was painful but God knows best.
Think not dear sister. that thou art forgotten.
For by me, thou shall never be:
As long as breath and memory lasts,
My thoughts will be OF thee
BY HER SISTER BETTE.
Oh that sad November morning,
When Hattie was called home,
To live among the Angels.
And sing around the throne.
When she said, Goodbye Bernetta,
liz almost broke my heart,
But must wait and pray,
Until we meet and never part

Automobiles For Rural Routes.

postoffices and postroads incorpor-
ated these recommendations In q bill
which it reported to the House, pro-
posing to pay rural carriers with au-
tomobile routes of so miles in length

present pay is 81, 200 with no allow

I'm A SUBMARINE
German Sailors Account OF the Raid
to Scotland.

Munich, October IA sailor gives
the following account Of the German
submarine raid to the coast Of Scot
land, in the course Of which the U-15
was sunk:
I'VE played the concertina when
only 1900 yards away from the enemy
and he noticed nothing; but often
we noticed nothing ourselves when
our motors were running more Mostly
than usual. Our ears did not hear
what the concertina played, but we
recognized the tune by the move
ments of the performer, by his face,
by his fingers as they slipped over
the stops, by his feat as they beat
time, and by the instrument itself,
and we all shouted the song together,
shouted as loud as our lungs would
let us. Yet we heard nothing of our
singing, so noisy are the engines OF
submarine.
What do ! know OF our trip to
the Scottish Coast? Almost nothing.
We only knew one thing-victory or
death! 1t il certainly not comfortable
in a nutshell like that. The space
for the crew il not quite a dancing
hall, and what the lungs have to
breathe IL hardly mountain air. Pc
troll, that's what it is; petrol all the
time. One gasps for air when the
thing comes to the surface.
I'VE were 10 days away. We did
not know where we were going. To
death or victory; 7 don't know any
more myself at present, said our
commander Then out we went with
the other submarine to sea-first to-
gether, then we separated We never
saw the U-15 again; the enemy did
for her. We went along the whole of
the English Coast, sometimes under
water, six hours work and six hours
sleep, ten long days. There were no
orders, you could hear nothing for the
noise
you are like a deaf-mute; you
hear with the eyes and talk with the
hands and feet as it suits you. A
little kick means, You therel wake
UP! The mate wants you There is
a deuce OF lot or work for the small
crew, particularly when the boat is
under water and everybody has to be
at his post So it went on for days,
now aboVe-the waves, now below.
That was the only change we had AVA
7, Then one day there was sud-
den sensation. One after the other
each OF US was allowed to- leave his
post for minute and have a look
through the periscope. III was the
finest sight of my life. There like q
Y flock OF peaceful lambs lay a British
squadron, as needless as if there were
no German sea-wolyes in armored
clothing.
For two hours we were at the ad-
vanced post under water. We could
have certainly fetched big battle
ship under water to keep us COM
pany, but we were not allowed to-.
We were on patrol duty and our boat
had to 20 on I wonder what our
commander felt like-so close to the
