nearly four German army corps fac
ing the center of the English gen
eral'sc line. This center was held
by French's first army corps under
Sir Douglas Haig. Four Germans
to one Englishman were the odds.
General French realized that, after
twenty days of sparring, the Germans
had decided where to strike.
The battle began early in the morn
ing with contests along the whole
line. The field of Waterloo was as
a children's garden in size, compared
with General French's battle-ground.
Back at Ypres, Gen. French stud
led the battle by means of maps.
Telephones and couriers brought him
news almost every moment. AS the
day advanced toward noon, the fight
ing on the wings grew less; in the
center it grew fiercer and fiercer; the
burden of the day was falling on the
first army corps. Almost every min
ute some English regiment was either
suffering some catastrophe or achiev
ing some feat that would go down in
its history forever.
English history and all military
history will say that no general in
the annals of great battles ever had
greater cause for giving up hope than
General French had at noon on this
great day.
A little later the automobile of
General French whirled into the lit
tie town of Hooge. A short distance
up the Menin road was the very heart
and core Of the hattie,
To see French come into the heart
of the battle, amid the shells; to
know that he had not given up hope,
was an inspiration to the officers.
New life came into the English.
French was spending that famous lit
tie hour "at Hooge between and 3
and o'clock"
French and Sir Douglas Haig and
their officers hustled from point to
point. At their coming, majors, colo
nels, captains all were fired with the
greatness of the moment; they be-
came privates; they seized rifles and
fought with their men. There was no
longer need for officers; the battle
had become a fight to the death.
1t was shortly before 2:3O that
Gen. French got his first chance to
hit the Germans on their flank. The
side attack flustered them. With cold
steel alone the Worcestershires retook
Gheluvelt and closed the Menin road
From that moment the tide of bat
tie turned. By 8 o'clock, when the
historic visit of Sir John French "at
Hooge" had ended, the English sol
diela l,a'+ ihct tlay had held the
Germans back ana tnat the issue hac
been decided.
The English lost about $4,000 men
all told ON this momentous October
81 and in the days of fighting that
preceded it. The French and Belgians
lost about $4,000 men and the German
losses were estimated at about $780,
900. In all, nearly half million
men were lost. The losses of the
lnorth in the entire Civil war were
about 100000.
General French's laconic report
merely says:
Il was present with Sir Douglas
Haig at Hooge between Q and g
o'clock on. this day, when the first
division were retiring. l regard it as
the most critical moment of this great
battle. The rally of the first division
and the recapture of the village OF
Gheluvelt at such time was fraught
with momentous consequences"

YOUNG MAN, DON'T SELL OUT
CHEAP.

Young man or young woman, you
are worth something. Don't sell
yourself too cheap. Your health,
strength, intellect, industry, applica-
ton, morals, principles and high char.
acter-all of these are an asset.
They are worth something II you
have any of them. They are price,
less if you have them all, for they
are what make our foremost men and
women, They make great teachers,
workers, preachers, leaders, generals
in war, captains of industry, man
ayers of railroads and heads Of COR
porations.
Remember, in this frivolous time,
that the one thing you really have as
long as you live is your body. That
is yours. That stays with you to the
end. You must live with yourself.
Where you go, it goes with you.
When you pass away, it is your GAS
ket. There is only the hope of i'm
mortality left to console your friends.
If this be true-and it can not be
denied-make the priceless gift Of
your Creator sanctuary, clean,
sweet, wholesome, spiritual as well
as physical, living the life that you
know you should live, putting high
value upon the human frame in which
you make your home.
Beautify it with all the graces Of
department, courtesy, Kindness and
affection. DO not cheaper it with
vice, Righteousness, greed, intemper-
ance, sordidness, unbeiisf and all the
train of sorrow and suffering that
followin the path Of sin. Keep your
self worth all that you can. Hold
yourself in the worlds market at the
highest price.
AS the farmer seeks to win prizes
with the best products of the soil and
breeding stable, as the manufacturer
strives for the finest work Of the
loom, the forge or the spindle, as the
young housewife delights in the most
delicate embroidery and the artist in
the highest example of his art, 80 lot
every one, however humble, seek the
best for what he has to offer and he
will get the higher price.
There is public market always
open for our varied talents. We need
go to no pawn-shop with them. We
need not cut prices. We need not
sell at sacrifice.
The young man who thinks the
world owes him living, that he must
have it regardless of what he gives
in return, makes fatal mistake.
The young woman who believes
that pretty fece, graceful figure
with beauty unadornsd and the dis
play of many jewels, will win her
way, is following the leadership Of
the blind. She will pay the price
with bitter repentance.
Avoid the primrose path of dal-
lance. Take the beaten way, though
1t be straight and narrow, for the
end is peace.
The discoverer must sail over many
troubled seas. He must climb the
highest peaks and break his tortuous
way through many Jungle, but II in
the end he reaches the goal, he will
be satisfied.
There is goal for you!-From
Golfers Weekly.
