HOW FRENCH YOUTHS DIED
Bows of Great Military School Of St.
Cyr Worthy of Its Best
Traditions.

There were many stories or
the boys of the senior class of the mill
tary school St Cyr, who took, the day
Of the beginning of the war, an oath
to put on gala dress, white gloves and
a red, white and blue plume, when
they had the honor to receive the first
order to charge.
They did it, too. Theatrical? Isn't
it just splendidly boyish? They did 1t,
you see. The first of them to die,
young sublieutenant, was found after
ward, his red, white and blue plume
trampled in the mud, his brave white
gloves stained with his own hot young
blood. Another of those st. Cyr boys,
shot in the face hideously and unable
to speak, stood still under fire and
wrote his orders II his men. 1t was
his first day under fire.
A boy fell injured between the
barbed wire in front of his trench and
the enemy, in that No Mans Land of
so many tragedies His comrades
afraid of hitting him, stopped firing.
Go on he called to them. no
matter about me Shoot at them!'
SO they fired and he writhed for a
moment.
4 got one Of yours that time!" he
said
The Germans retired, but the boy
still lay on the ground beyond reach.
He ceased moving, and they thought
he was dead One may believe that
they hoped he was dead. It was more
merciful than the slow dying of No
Mans Land But after time he
raised his head.
Look OUT! he called. They are
coming again. TEey are almost up to
met" That is al of that story

thus offered is well invested, for it

Just back Of the line of battle in Al
SAGE, within the zone where thor.
oughgoing destruction is threatened,
another of the marvellous, most worth
while works of civilization stands ex-
posed to the varying chances of bat
tie. This is the beautiful cathedral Of
Strassburg, an architectural glory
which makes mock of modern salts
faction at the expense Of earlier cen
turtles. The enormous old minister,
famed wherever joy in the ideal is felt,
one of the choicest Gothic visions
ever dreamed b. q master mason, is
a memory of ages when art was more
a passion and religion, and less a
means for preference and daily bread.
Strassburg cathedral is Christian
epic in stone. Exquisite in proportion
and detail, 1t rises, a great pile, out
of the surrounding city. The spire of
the minister is a masterpiece, excelled
by no other steeple and equaled by
but few. After finishing the one spire,
builders never attempted to construct
the proposed companion to 1t. Strass-
burg differs from other German ca
thedrals in that it possesses a greater
width in proportion to its height. The
building was begun in 1176.

ENSIGN ONLY OFFICER LEFT
Incident Shows tho Fierce Nature Of
the Fighting at the Battle
of Tippecanoe.

The Indians returned to the attack
with redoubled fury. An entrance into
the camp was effected, and for few
minutes 1t looked as II the soldiers
might be overwhelmed.
Many officers went down under the
fire OF the Indians. Harrison's horse
was killed. He mounted another and
quickly disposed his troops to better
advantage. When his lines were re-
established not an Indian that had
reached the camp was alive.
A story is told that illustrates the
terrible losses of the Fourth Indiana
regiment General Harrison, riding
furiously toward the point of greatest
peril, encountered a mere boy with
bloodstained head working heroically
to stem the Indian attack.

II Death Ends All.

And suppose after all that death
does end all. Next to eternal joy,
next to being forever with those we
love and who have loved us-next to
that, is to be wrapped in the dream
less drapery of eternal peace. Next
to eternal life is eternal sleep. Upon
the shadowy shore of death the sea of
trouble casts no wave. Eyes that
have been curtained by the everlast-
ing dark will never know again the
burning touch of tears. Lips touched
by eternal silence will never speak
again the broken words Of grief
Hearts of dust do not break. The
dead do not weep. Within the tomb
no yelled and weeping sorrow sits.
And in the rayless gloom is crouched
no shuddering fear.-Robert Ingersoll.

Believe Oil Ship Sunk.

Great quantities of floating oil have
been coming into st. Andrews bay, and
for more than ten miles deposits of
oil were made along the coast. 1t is
not petrol, but thicker OIL and has
caused no little inconvenience to bath
ers. The worst sufferers are sea birds,
scores OF which had their feathers so
clogged with oil as to render them
helpless. Large numbers of both old
and young birds have been driven
ashore dead, while many others. alive,
but unable to move, lie on the beach
The theory propounded is that an oil
ship has been sunk not far off.-Mon-

The German engineering corps has
been successful in many instances in
their efforts to build bridges when
faced by strong fire of small guns.
In war it was found that bridge build
ing was difficult except under cover Of
darkness, because the builders were
always in the open and subject to the
fire of the enemy on the rivers farther
bank The German officers by the use
of a new waterproof suit with life
preserver about its middle were able
to send men into the water. The men
pushed a floating bulwark Of boards
and steel before them. Under cover
of this protection they padded about
and built the bridge.
