The Secret.


The news Of the collapse OF the
army Of the East found our wretched-

still patroling the environs Of Brest
from Belair to the Pont Tournant, and
from the banks of the Elorn clear
around the ramparts to Lannion bay.
For three months our troopers scarce
ly left their saddles, except to be Ia
ken to the hospital in Recouvrance.
Suddenly the nightmare ended with
a telegram. Paris had surrendered
On the first day OF March, by papers
from London, we learned that the war
was at an END. and that the prelimi-
nary treaty of Sunday, the 26th, had
been signed at Versailles.

REsOURCEFUL,
CREATIVE MAN

Hearst's Magazine recalls a story
that attracted countrywide attention
at the time of its occurrence, as being
illustrative of the wonderful effi-
cheney, resourcefulness and creative
ability of a wide-awake. alert intelli-
gent man who has cultivated the nat
ural faculties with which God has
blessed him-the intelligence that sets
him above the beasts Incidentally
II conveys the lesson that no man
blessed with these natural faculties,
and with health, should ever despair
and consider himself helpless.

There is mighty truth all Of us
can learn from this naked man in the
wilderness.
I'VE often hear young men asking
what is the secret of success.
The whole secret OF any real
achievement lies in the brain and

real failure than that of the dull

WHAT is DEATH?

What is death? The question rlses'
Will some one an answer give?
When we leave this vale of sorrow
Will we really cease to live?
Some there are says It's transfer
From the world to realms above,
Where we'll never see SORROW
Dwelling with the ones we love.
But this does not satisfy us,
For it is not in Gods word.
And because the ones who tell us
Seem to dread to be transferred.
We will find within its pages
That in death men turn to dust,
And his thoughts the same day PERISH
So we in its teachings trust.
So we seek another answer,
One Gods word will not condemn
We should trust in what ne tells u.s.
Not be followers of men.
Rut the Savior said when leaving
That He would home prepare;
And when at last all things are ready
He will come and take us there.

A. G.. Fuss Commits Suicide
With Gun.

Albert G.. Fuss, of Williamsport, Md,
whose trial on charge of criminal libel
was to have been heard in Frederick
soon, committed suicide Monday after
noon at one o'clock by shooting himself
in the head. His mother, sister and
neiehbor were in the house at the time.
His mother, attracted to the room by
the shot, rushed to his side and found
him dying. Medical assistance was too
late to save his life.
By the side of the dead man was a
note, which read as follows:
Brother Allan: hope you may for
give this terrible act of mine. Do what
YOU can TO take care of those who de-
pend on me. can bear the strain no
longer. ] have been deceived in many
things. Love to all. God bless YOU.
''ALBERT."
Fuss was charged with circulating a
memorial accusing Judges M. L. Keedy,
of Hagerstown, and Robert L. Hender-
son, of Cumberland, of gross misconduct
in office. The suit was the first criminal
libel SUIT filed in Frederick for several
decades.
