KILLED A WOMAN SOLDIER


The Vossische Zeitung quotes the
following from an officers letter
from the Polish front: Here we are
in Poles land-about five miles from
the so called high road, in a so called
village, far from all civilization. The
inhabitants fight shy of us like beat
en- dogs or like children, and when
they want to ask anything OF us they
kneel as in the time of serfdom and
want to kiss the hem of our coats.
The village consists of dilapidated
huts such as we should not use as
stables for our horses. Rain comes
steadily down just as il the heavens
wanted to clear our earth of all sin.
We had been advancing for fifty-four
hours until We reached this village,
and here I was witness of the con-
clusion of a pathetic love story.
Just as | was opening the door OF
a peasant house a noncommissioned
officer OF the - regiment comes
out to meet me with a grinning face.
He had just, with a handful of men.
partly killed and partly taken prison
ers half a company of Russians. We
enter through the low doorway into
the interior Oh the nut, anu my hiSI
glance fall upon a very young Rus
sian soldier-almost a ehild-who
was sleeping upon a mattress OF
straw and smiling In his dreams. We
come nearer, / put my hand upon his
forehead-cold as ice. The boy is
| dead. The men approach to take of
| his wet clothes. They stand in a
| semicircle round him. Suddenly
| there is a whispering and a horror
| seems to have seized these brave fell
lows who otherwise are not afraid
of any power in the world. One
steps out and says: Excuse mo
sir, the Russian soldier is a girl.'
This is the war of 1914! AS We
afterwards learned. she was the bride
of a Russian officer. and had fought
with him throughout the campaign
shoulder to shoulder, and was at las
struck dead by a bullet in her breast
We all barred our heads and we gave
her a solemn funeral.

the state ommenc TO collect taxes
in this way the title is not in the
person assessed, but remains in the
federal government. Between the
issuing of the land office receivers
final receipt and the issuance Of the
patent by the government circum-
stances may arise which might per-
manently deprive the entryman from
acquiring title to the land from the
government.
A contest instituted at the time OF
making final proof, or following the
completion of proof, might result in
the land being declared the property
of another person. Instances of this
kind already have occurred. In one
case in Lawrence county a man had
paid taxes on a homestead for a
period of twelve years after the is
suance of the land office receivers
receipt and then. the federal authori-
ties found he was not entitled TO a
patent.
In this ease the county and state
| were obliged TO refund all taxes col
lected during the period OF twelve
years. In the event that the present
legislature refuses to enact legislation
which will stop the practice OF col
lecting taxes on homesteads before
patent has been issued, the residents
of western South Dakota who have
lnaugurated the movement intimate
that they will apply for relief to the
United States court by instituting a
test case which would be of far
-..sn. aA.to. m Il, Gnnfh nukntn
as well as in other states where there
are large bodies of homestead lane
and where a similar plan of collect
ing taxes on the new land has been
followed.

MOTHER INSTINCT FAILS
Women Who Show Interest i'm Any.
thing But Children.

Frances Frear in Leslie's: A
mother who doesn't love her chill
dren Is an unnatural IN A lot
of people don't care for children In
general, but when a woman declares
that she doesn't love her own chill
dren w need to prepare for the
worst. In this particular instance,
that of a divorce proceeding in which
the mother was denied the posses
sion of her children, the worst was
that there was no room in the moth
er's heart for her own offspring be-
cause all her affection was lavished
on horses and dogs. True, she saw
that her children were we'll cared for
by servants. but while the children
were left to sleep i'm an adjoining
room in charge of a nurse, she kept
two puppies cuddled in a coz cor
ner of her own room subject to her
personal care. This Is an extreme
case. 1t is not often that a woman
is so untrue to natural instinct as to
love a dog or a horse, however in
telligent or faithful either may be,
more than her own child. When
such a woman appears she should be

to live with her dogs and horses.
There are women by the hundreds
| who show more enthusiasm and in
| terest over horses and dogs and au-
tomobiles and cards and social func-
| tions than they do over their chill
| dren. There are a lot of women
whose husbands have become sud
| denly rich, or who have been caught
in the mad swirl OF ex%travagant liv-
ing that characterizes our day, who
turn their children over to servants
altogether. There are mothers who
never had the joy of nursing their
| babies, who never battle nor dress
them, who never play with them,
who utterly fail. as the children grow
! older, to enter into their lives or to
have any sympathetic relations with
them. III there is anyone who needs
to hear the call to simple living ii is
| such mothers.
