HOBOKEN YOUTH
IN FRENCH TRENCHES

West Hobokenite fighting in the
Foreign Legion:
Charles Christopher, whose father
fought in 1870, under French colors
heartily sick of war; expects peace in
the fall.
The foregoing was the heading of
an article in Thursdays Hudson
observer" The article contains a
letter from Charles in which he says
he is heartily sick of war, and wishes
he was back home. He is only twenty
three years old.
His letter reads: 81 have not slept
in bed since November %. We do
not get much sleep in the trenches.
One cannot imagine how the men are
living in underground novels and dug
out holes"
Charles says that they have seen
a great deal of heavy fighting dur
ing the last six months. He had not
been wounded, but had received some
close calls. Every little while, men
who had been fighting at his side
during the long months, would re-
ceive their death blow and disappear
He wonders how soon his time will
come. But he doesn't worry.
Charles complains of the bad winter
weather in northern France, but at
the time of writing it was getting
much more comfortable.
AS he stands, after supper, in his
place as sentinel, he wonders long
ingly if he will ever see his home
again.
A short distance behind the
trenches, there is a little canal in
which the boys go swimming in re-
lays. The canal is so located that it
is not touched by the enemy's shells.

had lived for years, just to be near
the man she loved, where she could
see him once in a while without his
seeing her or knowing that she was
near.
His last hours were consoled by her
presence, and his will gives her a
fortune. But that does not atone for
the suffering that a trivial Covers
quarrel was permitted to bring into
their lives. 1t is a curious trait of
human nature that so often men and
women will allow some minor dis
agreement, under the stress of fool
ish pride, to bring them misery. Only
those who are really wise learn how
essential it is to make compromises,
to overlook faults and failings, and
to make sacrifices in recognition of
the surprising value of friendship
and love.

Are We Ready"
Reviewed

"Are We Ready?" is the title of a
book just issued from Houghton
Miflin's Riverside Press. The book
is by Howard D. Wheeler, and con-
tains an Introductory letter by Major
General Leonard Wood. The book is
a strong and convincing appeal to the
men of America to brush up on at
least the elementary principles of
self-defence. The author cites the

A LOVERS QUARREL"

From the Kansas City Times.
That was a pathetic story the news
dispatches carried out of Denver the
other day about the old bachelor
millionaire on his deathbed who sent
for the woman to whom he had been
betrothed forty years ago.
When both were young and poor
they loved each other, and a day was
set for the wedding. Before it came
they quarreled over some trifing
thing, as lovers always quarrel, and
in the heat of his anger he went
away.
The years went by and James NJ.
Wilson became millionaire. But his
love for Carrie Hurd remained, and
he never married.
When he was dying last week his
mind went back to the sweetheart of
his youth, to the strolls with her in
the starlight down the flower-scented
lane, and he saw her face raised again
to his, and heard her merry laughter,
and there surged into his heart feel
ing of remorse. Perhaps he had
wronged her in leaving her so, and a
great longing came over him to see
her once more before he died, if she
was yet alive.
No doubt she had married, perhaps
she had forgotten him. No matter,
he wanted to see her.
And so, to humor him, they sent
word back there to the old home town.
But she was not there. Long years
ago she had gone away. Where? To
Denver.
They found her there, where she

discussion on the school needs and
the plans of the Board for repairs,

etc.
Under current expenses the sub

and supplies was cut from $1,000 to
$1,000, but $500 was allowed for
medical inspectors salary. For light
and water, $500, there was cut of
5000; for teachers salaries cut
from $1,250 to 81, 900; for incidentals
a cut from $500 to $3.50. Janitors'
supplies, at 5000; interest on loans,
at $500; custodian's fees at $3.50, were
left as they were.

THE LETTER E

Some one has advanced the opinion
that the letter re" is the most unfor-

bet, because it is always out of cash,
forever in debt, never out of danger

But we call his attention to the
fact says the Charleston Gazette, "
that 'e' is never in war and always
in peace. 1t is the beginning of exist
ence, the commencement of ease and
