The Pleasure Parents Take In Their
Children

In The October American Magazine
a husband who has had twenty-five
years experience in matrimony
writes most interesting account of
his adventures. In the following par
agraph he tells what he and his wife
think about the pleasures they have
had In having children:
The question OF children we have
discussed In every phase. When we
wers married neither had spoken OF
children even as possibility. nor
FOR months did We discuss the desira-
bility or ACCESSIBILITY OF having chill
dren. When il became certain that
we we're to be parents both OF us re
ioiced exceedingly Yet doubt pow
whether either did desire child at
that tirne-each rejoicing because
each Thought the other reioiced. Our
second child we rejoiced over for an
other reason. We both desired an.
other child because we believed the
lot of an only child an unhappy one.
After that we decided that on ac.
count OF my wifes state of health an.
other would be more in the nature of
4 catastrophe than a blessing; yet
over that one my wife rejoiced more
than over either OF the others. and |
believe. II there are degrees in moth
er-iove, she loved him more than eth
err OF the others, while resented his
coming BECAUSE he imperiled the
life of my wife. and robbed me o,
Years of companionship with her
Nov that they are grown We. have
decided that each was a blessing and
That there should have been others
And this we know. that no man or
woman knows the fulness of life who

years OF sacrifice for their sakes are
best"

Three Frenchmen
Take Quick FirerS,
Rout Two Companies

BORDEAUX. Oct, 1o,-The story Of how
three French soldiers captured two Ger
man quick firers and put to flight two
companies of German infantry, is related
in a letter sent home by the captain OF a
company of infantry which is fighting on
the Aisne.
Two corporals and a private. in recon-
noitering, crawled within ten yards q the
German trenches. Most OF the German
soldiers were away TO got their dinners
and the officers were some distance back
OF the guns.
The three FFenchmen sprang into the
trenches and turned the guns on tho un-
suspecting Germans, who fled, oommuni-
eating the panic to two companies
French artilIerymen who had been
watching the proceedings then opened fire
and exterminated the Germans.
The same night the two corporals were
made second lIeutenants and the soldier
a sergeant major as n reward for their
daring.

Poor, innocent wretches!
Heavens Cry for Revenge.
THE heavens are crying for revenge
for such acts. A vlllager told me that
the soldiers had two ways of setting fire
to the houses. One was to break the
windows of the first floor, to throw
petroleum on the floor and throw in
torches of burning straw, while others
were engaged In shooting at the upper
story windows to prevent the inhabitants
from throwing missiles on those setting
fire TO their homes. Sometimes they
would fire special cartridges into the
windows OF the upper stories; it Is be-
lieved that they were explosive cart

the night while fighting. Curtains and

ing: Pillage, as we'll as incendlarism,
has been methodlcally carried on. 1t was
not the work OF drunken trooper, who
all at once breaks from his bonds, but "a
careful methodical and minute ransack-
ing of the house from the cellar to the
attic. Drawers were everywhere pulled
out and their contents looted. Closets
which had been left open were not
broken, those that were found locked
were ransacked and their contents
strewn over the floor,
Evidently the thieves had looked for
valuables that would not be too bulky to
carry off easily. Clocks, for instance,
which as rule are rather bulky. are
generally intact, and so are paintings and
water colors were carefully cut from
their frames and carried off, Valuables,
Jewels. silverware and small art objects
we're especially looked for.
Officers Also steal.
1T is proved that the Prussian officers
were stealing no less than their own men,
AS an example, on the Chausse de Ter
vueren, a villager noticed a carriage
stopping in front of house whose in
habitants he knows; two officers en-
tered the house and came out shortly
afterward with packages and a clock, a
small but artistic and valuable piece OF
art, and worth about 500 francs. They
took time to pack everything into the
carriage and to run off.

Simple Remedy That Clears Skin
Quickly of All Erdptions.
For several weeks past Sorrells
Drug Co. has done a big business in
selling Hokara, the skin healer that
has won so many friends in Hot
Springs.
1t has been found to heal not only
all minor skin troub es, such as PIN
pies, backheads. herpes, acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes, itching
feet, piles, etc, but also the worst
sores. ulcers, or even chronic eczema
and salt rheum. There is yet to be
found any form Of wound or disease
affecting the skin or mucous mem
brane that Hokara does not help, and
its action is so quick that those who
try it are simply delighted with it
right from the start.
In spite of its unusual curative
powers. the price is trifling. TO con-
vince every one of its merits, Sor-
re Is Drug Co. will sell a liberal sized
jar for 25c. And remember that il
