But, much as this spectacle hurt us

mind was quite contrary to our own.
If their bodies were mutilated and
their bodily strength diminished their
spirit was strong and their appearance
lively. Gladness rang in their voices
when they thanked us for the refresh

Cross. They smoked their pipes and

A Brave Youth.

The self sacrifice of German youth
for the fatherland takes other forms
than death on the battlefield. The fol-
lowing letter from young German in
Madrid to friend in Berlin which ap-
pears in the Vossiche Zeitung gives
one incident Of such patriotism:
'You remember young Leiderer, who
was employed by a concern in Madrid.
Leiderer wanted to serve his father
land and endeavored to reach Germany
by way of Italy with several other
young men. They We're captured by
the French and sent to Corsica. Five
Of them, including Leiderer, tried to
escape, but all were caught. They
were tried before a court martial,

CattIemen Hold Meeting

4 large nun Der Of cattlemen from the upper country have been in Cliff ton this week where they were called to attend a meeting of the Greenlee County Cattle Growers Association.
 The meeting was called for the pur- pose of putting in a protest to the Forest Service against the proposed sheep drive from the Apache Nation al Forest down to points on the Gila river The Apache County Sheep mems Association have asked of the Service a permit to make big sheep drive from the northern boundary of the Apache National Forest down through Greenlee county to the Gila river where they contend they will winter the herd.

her staring down into the flour box.
There lay package. 1t bore the
inscription: For my dear niece, My

Elwyn half guessing and eager as he
opened it, the eyes of both dilated to
their widest. .. ,.s
There were ten Grip new twenty
dollar bills and a note. 1t was signed

This will be placed by an emissary

he has bestowed upon US"
The cycle of good luck once start
