IT. 1t is u funny thing, the boys work
soon as summer shows his face around
the corner right away all our boys
seem TO have hidden. 1 believe it's n
swimming hole or fishing place, or
maybe just u grand job. so that they
can work all summer and make extra
money, that's what | think II is, at any
rate l want them TO know how blank
the page seems without them.

. THE KING AND HIS SONS.

There was once king who had
three sons. AS he was growing old
he called his sons to him and said:
My sons. hidden in the depths of the
Forest Is gem. whose lustre outshines
any in all this world The one of you
who brings me this priceless diamond
VIII 1 make my heir. and he shall reign
In my place when ! am gone" They
all started In search OF the diamond.
The eldest was lazy, and had not gone
far when he turned back. The second
son was sly. SO lie thought he would
watch and see If either of his broth
ers would find II, and If they did he
would try and steal il from them. So
he watched and waited. thinking he
would be scoided for not finding the
diamond, and never returned TO the
court. The youngest, who loved his
father. and wished to make his dying
moments happy, won't off into the
woods and searched day by day. One
day he came upon an old woman who
was dying with hunger. He gave up
his search aud nuIsed her back TO
health. She said to him: Il have
nothing to repay you for your kind
you where you will find a beautiful
diamond" He went with her and found
the stone his father had sent him in
search of. SO he became the king, and
lived long and was dearly loved by
his people.

WORLDS STRONGEST FORT
Modern Guns Force Piucky Beigans
to Evacuate After 11-Day Siege
Shells Thrown Into City by Ger
mans Set Many Fires.

London, Oct 1O.-Antwerp and the
forts surrounding the city are now in
complete possession of the Germans,
but the greater part of the Belgian ar.
my has escaped
1t took the Germans just II days to
capture the strongest fortress in the
world.
The fall of Antwerp is evidence that
even the most powerful forts are no
match for the colossal howitzers which
the invaders have successfully en-
plOyed against every fortified place
that stood in their way. These huge
guns open gaps through which the be-
siegers find entrance for their field
artillery and infantry.
The Germans, after Smelling the city
itself for many hours, making it un-
tenable entered the town through the
suburb of Berchamti, to the east They
had made breach in the outer line
of forts, some Of which were destroy
+, ed by their big guns and others blown
up by the defenders. The Germans
followed similar plans in dealing with
the inner belt of forts and at the same
time threw shells into the city, which
was set afire in many places.
| The inner forts, like those further
out, soon succumbed to the enormous
shells, and on Friday morning several
of these forts had fallen, opening the
way for the Germans into the city.
By midday they were in occupation of
the town, and at $3.50 in the after
noon the banner on the cathedral
was replaced by a white flag, indica.
ting surrender.
