were disposed to think the maneuvers
were largely for show. One soldier
speaking of the recent fighting said:
IF the British losses were heavy,
the German losses have been enorm-
Gus. The German infantry always ad-
vanced in heavy masses like moving
wall of men. Our fire simply slaught-
cred them We did not care for their
infantry, but their artillery was deadly
in it's precision Nearly all our
wounded were hurt by shells, but those
suffering from rifle shots were chiefly
hit in the legs"
According to another soldier, the
.Germans came up in thousands.
Il remember looking up" said the
soldier, "and seeing ranks and ranks
of them coming along. We swept away
one rank and there was another. We
swept that away and a third was
waiting behind it. On they came over
the bodies of their comrades, sOlidly
and like wooden soldiers, as regular as
clock"
The British soldiers think their
South African experiences helped their
infantry greatly On the Veldt they
became experts at taking cover and en-
trenching themselves. There are
enough veterans in all the regular regi-
ments to show the younger men how
to take care of themselves in fighting

taken by the Merchants and Farm

of the recent Bank legislation in
the State. owing to the fact that
mismanagement in the Bank at the
outset Of the institution had meant
an excessive investment in Bank
building and fixtures. The papers

The citizens of Lincoln county

leges, thereby preparing themselves
to be leaders. Both last year and

HOSPITAL CARE
FOR PRISONERS
Warden Talcott Has 1naugurated
Custom Of Giving Best Care
h to Those Seriously I'll.

1t may not interest everybody, but
there is touch Of pathos in the acts
of Warden Talcott in caring for the
prisoners as he does when they are
seriously ILL., -.
The hospital building at the peni-
Tertiary is a miserable structure for
such purposes. There is no good op-
Grating room; there is no good venti-
lation: there is no decent place where
q sick man can be taken care of in
a proper way, and all this in view Of
of the fact that many years ago the
state expended a good sum for a
building, which should be torn down
and rebuilt on modern plans. In con.
sideration of these conditions, when
q case becomes serious and needs
hospital treatment, Warden Talcott
sends the sufferer up town to one of
the hospitals for proper care.
Only yesterday he took three back
to the institution, who were GONZALES
cent, and took another there who was
in need of better care than he could
possibly receive at the institution. It
is such acts as these which are win
ming the hearts of the men for Mr..
Talcott, and he has the respect and
confidence Of every mothers son of
them. e:
