to give him a college education. He
left his fathers farm at Alden, N. Y,
and came to Chicago in search OF
work. He obtained a job as a cook
on a boat which piled the drainage
canal. Last July he married Miss Ell:
zabeth Micnels, daughter of Mr., and
Mrs. William Nichols Shortly after
his marriage he lost his job. On the
irst Of the Year, the couple went to
i've at the Michels home.
The family were at dinner yester'
day when Martin said he was going
out to get sCme beer.
Don't urged Mrs. Martin. 1T
does not look, well to be bringing beer
into the house on Sunday"
Leads to Tragic End.
Martin went out and slammed the
door. Mrs. Martin, visibly agitated
arose and paced the floor, while her
parents continued eating. Presently
she saw Martin enter the back gate
with six bottles of beer under his
arm. Mrs. Martin hurried to her bed
room and then to the back door. She
stepped outside and met her husband
/ few feet away. They were near

You'd better kiss me, for i won't
be with you long, Mrs. Martin was
heard to say. There was a pause
and then a shot.
Mrs. Michels ran out of the door
in time to see her daughter fall to
the ground. Martin picked up the
revolver.
IF you're going, I'm going, too"
Martin said. He pressed. the revolt

ger. He fell across the body Of his
wife. Both were dead when physi-
clans arrived. Mrs. Martin. had shot
herself through the heart.
Mrs. .Michels told the police they
had had frequent .quarrels, but that
she never considered them serious.
She showed a letter which Martin
had RECEIVED. from his parents, Mr..

help or encourage in need is some
thing that is born in hell.
"Does brotherly love bitterly criti-
else a brother behind his back and
blacken his name? Does brotherly
love cause us to find fault and say
mean things just because our brother
does a thing in a different way to
that which we think the best meth
od?"
These. and many other questions
were fired as if from a gattling at the
audience. The petty mean things not
born Of %brotherly love were shown
and the hearers were advised to
avoid them. And while some might
say that some of the remarks border
ed on the sensational in the way Of
presentation such is not the fact for
few men have a truer feeling of that
which is sacred and must be treated
as such and yet his sarcasm and de-
nunciation of ecclesiastical meanness is
terrible. And he is not mild in de-
nouncing the ordinary sins of the ev-
cry day common sort of church mem.
Der that is standing in the way Of a
brother mepber's salvation. Ia
Yet he is tender and loving to a de-
gree with an erring man who is in
the wrong and yet not a h%ypocrite.
..- Deep Interest Manifested.
The interest is great and there is
a clear prospect that soon the mem
bers of this church will be, working
in harmony and in real earnest or
they will stay away entirely. The
lines are being clearly drawn and as
the foundations are being laid for real
results the plans are becoming very
apparent.

Heroes of Balkan Wars Meet

"D- the Holly" Cry the
HOmesick Australian Lads.
by WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.


Salonika, Dec. -Delayed.-A fierce
battle is being fought on the Christ
mas holly wood near Strumnitza- The
Bulgarlans have been attacking the
Anglo-French position since early SAT-
urday. Their attacks thus far have
been repulsed with heavy losses.
1 visited the French and British
front along the Serbo- Bulgarian from
tier Friday night and Saturday. The
mountains and hills were topped with
batteries. The big British guns were
sending shells screaming eight miles
across hills a mile high. The holly
hills shook with the dull roar
Everywhere the allies artillery
seemed superior. Anglo-French guns
were blasting away at the Bulgar
works in the hills beyond and blowing
TO pieces whole lines of advancing
troops The allied losses. on the other
hand, have been comparatively slight.
Leaves Red With Blood.
The sheen of the holly leaves on the
broad hillsides was red with spattered
blood. Lying among the bright red
Christmas berries Red Cross search
ers found the bodies of Bulgars,
French and a few British artillery
men after one of Saturdays desperate
hand to hand struggles.
The Bulgars broke over the hills at
intervals in the widest charges,

champions of the bayonet.
Stabbed to Death.
But in the sudden collision with
French ZouaVes they net their match.
In three distinct encounters they were
caught by cold French steel and
stabbed to death or sent fleeing back
over the hills. targets for machine
guns and shrapnel.
Extremely cold weather is increas-
ing the horrors of war on the Strun-
nitza sector. Several. men on outpost
duty have been found frozen to death.

before the Bulgarian attack. French
soldiers sat about talking of past
Christmases in France and wondering
what Christmas will be like at home
this year. To a homesick Australian
lad, who sat nearby all this was re-
fined torture.
