And disappeared from sight
Without delay.

And nightly we strived

At last when he had crossed

He ran upon the beach,
And started down the railroad

A locomotive screech
Came to our ears
Around the curve it now ap-

Oh, woe to him that steals
IT'S sad to tell, but both of us
Were crushed beneath the wheels
1t made me sick.
And now events-they happen
ed quick,
The beggar rose again
And clutched the cookies to his
breast
Almost as if in pain
And brushed his hat.
Alas, alack, and what is that
Which now / see him try.
A bridge he jumps, and thinks
that thus
His freedom he can buy.

from it
Full ninety feet or more
And after him
He now made for a flagpole high
And clambered up its length.
The top he reached with wondrous
speed.
Magnilicient-his strength.
But here he ends,
Methought that if | sat me
down
Beside the nagpole's base
And waited TIN he earthward
came
I'd get him face to face.
But | was wrong
| sat me down and waited long
And then I heard him sneeze
With this result; The cookies
dropped
And fell beside my knees.

For twelve long days and one
long night
My thief | watched with care.
Each day one cooky | would cal
While high up in the air
My prisoner starved
Each day he weak and weaker
grew.
He must have got quite tired.
Till on the thirteenth day he fel
And at my feet expired
A hollow shell

A head stone l erected.
And if my story you mistrust-

Go read these words
Here lies a man
Whose days are done
He stole twelve cookies
And away he run.
He climbed this pole
All out of breath
And then he sneezed

And my praises were sung bot

The Ballad of the Twelve Cookies

A dollar | am sending you
Enclosed, as you perceive,
1 earned it in a manner queer
So strange you'd scarce believe.
Just wait and see.
Now listen to me carefully
While relate to you
The tale of my experience
Whose every word is true.
Or nearly so.
Twas winter, and the virgin
snow
Lay lightly on the town.
The time was noon, the month
was June,
and roses blue and brown
Grew everywhere.
" ithout a single thought of
care
I left my house that night.
My conscience clear with naught
to fear
kept we'll out of sight
In shadows gray.
My destination, by the way,
Was two blocks up the street.
The place was Schulze's Bakery
Toward which | turned my feet
So stealthily.
A few quick strides and | had
reached
The bake-shop which l sought.
] entered; spoke a word. A dOz
En- cookies then / bought.
For fifteen cents
Now, having spent this sum
immense
/ turned to leave Cne store,
When loI there entered such a
sight
As ne'er I'd seen before.
The truth | speak.
An aged beggar, very weak
And old. His voice was hoarse.
One leg was gone; one leg was left
The left one left, of course.
Oh, wretched soul
1t seemed that he had neared
life's goal
MIA NTH and misery.
Around the shop he cast his eyes
Which straightway fell on me.
His aim was good
He looked as if he needed food
He tried to speak but failed.
Then saw the cookies in my hanC
A grab-He had them nailed.
Aha, a thief
Now it has been my firm belle
That hungry men need bread.
I'd even willingly admit
The starving should be fed.
My point you see
Well, that is my philosophy
The product Of much thought
But | simply could not bear Il
lose
The cookies l had bought
And meant to eat
And so it was but just and NEE
That, wrung with wrath and grie
did attempt with promptitud
To apprehend the thief.
But he had fled
Now, this young man, as l hav
said
Was fleet of foot and strong.

Both numerous and long

WILL SAVE FEET OF

Military Order CompeIs Shoes

chem.
An order issued today amends the
O,ilitary regulations concerning the
care of the troops in the field. Here
after 1t is made compulsory that each
French soldier shall remove his shoes
and socks for not less than fifteen
minutes twice in every ewenty-four
hours. Failure to do 80 will involve
eovere punishment. Since the opening
II the winter campaign one OF the most
terrible results of the war has been the
thousands of men turned back with
frozen feet" In nearly every instance
gangrene had set in and amputation
DR.. Ternoin. of Bourses. who treated
many OF these cases was struck by
certain Inconsistencies. He could not
understand why 1t was that only that
and noses untouched. So with associ-
ates in tho French Academy of Medi-
cine he Investigated.
It was discovered that what had
circulation in the feet. Men in the
trenches have had to stand in water
without being able to remove their
shoes. puttees or stockings. The water
makes all Of them contract. The cold
Increases, the circulation becomes
slower and slower. At last 1t stops
entirely. Then gangrene sets in and
the feet come of.
This Is a matter OF several days and
can easily be guarded against. Here
after the shoes and stocgings OF the
French soldier are to be made imper-
meable with hot grease and he will be
required to take both off twice daily
In addition the terms in the trenches are
to be materially reduced.
