he SHOT Them ALL.
Belgian Boy Sharpshooter Destroyed
q Battery.

London, Sept. 4.-Eighteen-year-ol
Corporal Lupin, who served in the reei-
,nent of Major Jeanne. wounded during
the heoric defense of Lfege. will hence
forth hold a place in Belgian history as
high as that accorded any individual.
Corporal Lupin gave his life to ms
country. The Germans to whom ne
gave his life. paid for 1t with the an
nihfIs ton of a battery of. field artillery,
horses and men, and the decisive de-
feat Of an attacking column OF infantry.
Major Jeanne tells the following story
of Corporal Lupin's heortsm:
1--WE were on the right bank OF the
Mouse at Bellaire. in close touch with
the German battery. The musketry on
both sides was terrible All at once
the Germans adopted new tactics. They
seemed to withdraw from their position.
and we could distinctly notice their
ranks splitting as IL in great confusion.
1t was only to bring up more artillery
which had been rushing from behind.
The move was smartly executed. the
ranks closed again, and for time they
seemed as II they were going to have
the advantage over us.
But now again young Lupin had
seen his chance looming, and what he
did altogether changed the face OF
things Like a flash the boy dashed on
under cover Of a ditch to the left Of the
German battery. At meters distance
he found sheler behind q wall He took
aim at the battery in enfiladc. and his
Hauser brought down in quick success
sion the chief officer, the under officers.
and the artillerymen- This time real
confusion took place at the German
battery, which was nearly silenced.
The Germans thinking that a whole
platoon was now attacking them d.
rected their last piece Of artillery ON
the wall. and with a terrific crash the
wall came down. burying the brave
Corporal Lupin. The boys bravery had
weakened the German position. and 1t
did not take US long to scatter them,
and put another victory on our list

that the European war has not affected

A ball club in regular game made six hits in one inning. one 0f thsH il triple, and yet not single run crossed the plate. This terrific bOiHbhrdneht with frealtish result was pulled off ih the first inning of the game, The first man to face the pitcher smashed the ball to the corner of the lot for ii triple and was thrown out at the plate trying to stretch his hit into home run. The second batsman swatted q single and, like his predecessor, tried to make an extra base and was heav- ed out at second. The third batsman and the fourth and fifth also singled, filling the bases. The sixth man at the plate hit the ball between first and second base, and the runner who had been on first was hit by the batted ball. retiring the side without run scoring Chicago Tribune.

 Impossible as it may seem,'' he said "that red stain dripped down and not up and spread toward the horizon. Il spread right and left until the noun. tain, still as blue black as the night stood out in a dreadful silhouette Then came the steaming mists of the morning. and at first red and then pink and then silvery and then sullen they covered the mountain after the dawn and it was as though it had never been.

stranaa WiIls.

Many are the eccentricities to which wills have borne testimony from time to time. The Earl of Portarlington left instructions that he should be buried with all his rings on his fingers. The late Earl of Orkney stipulated that he should be taken to the ceme- tery in an old fashioned hearse, so that the coffin could not be seen and that no flowers should be placed on his grave. He also left word that his soronet would be found by his nephew and successor 'in cellar" of his house.
 A Vienna millionaire, who died re- gently, left sum of money with which to defray the cost of twelve months electric lighting, not only of his vault, but even of the very coffin in which he was buried. Less particu- lar was the Frenchman who asked that his body should be thrown into the sea mile from the English coast.
 He was, too, so disgusted with his own country that he would neither be buried there nor allow any of his rela- tives or fellow countrymen to benefit by his death He left the whole of his money to the poor of London London Globe.

On entering the sanctuary he enrolled himself in q formal manner and obtained a room that is. if he could pay for it. There was public house within the bound aries and it was not uncommon to see the debtor in the inn playing dominOes and his creditor standing looking in at the window with wistful eyes. The debtor was safe, and he knew it. and the face of the creditor told the same tale. Sunday being dies non, the debtor could leave his sanctuary and visit his family, but he had to be care full to get back to HOlyrood on Sunday night.
