Bailey and Roller have met in the

. at the railroad station engaged in
an impromptu scuf1e in which two or
three blows were struck. This was due
to i'll feeling between the men as the
result of wrestling match in which
they had engaged at Windsor few

landed a heavy blow on Rollers left
eye. Bailey claimed he was provoked
to this by Roller 5 dirty work ear

The Two Armies.

As life 5 unending column pours,
Two marshaled hosts are seen,
Two armies on the trampled shores,
That Death flows black between.
One marches to the drum-beats' roll,
The wide-mouthed clarion s bray,
And bears upon a crimson scroll,
''Our glory is to slav."
One moves in silence by the stream
With sad, yet watchful eyes;
Calm as the patient planet s CLEAN
That walks the clouded skies.
Along its front no sabres shine,
No blood-red penons wave;
Its banner bears the single line,
Our duty is to save

The lands this year have sold on an
