a scantily clad man hurried from his

captain of the vessel.

managed to gasp. Have we been tor

official.

$50 SHINES A GOOD DEED"
Thoughtful Act of Busy Man Led An
other to Emulate His Work
of Kindness.

He was brisk, well-groomed young
man, who looked as if he were hur-
rying to keep a date with Fortune.
He had crossed the green grass and
golden-roddy place by the big hotel
near Union station. and had jumped
the tiny ditch that is going to be
gutter some day, when he noticed an
old Whitley gray horse standing by
what will be the curb.
The detected patience of the poor
creature must have appealed to the
young man, for he sprinted back to
the green grass, pulled bunch of it
and slipped it into Whitley gray's
mouth.
Old Mr.. Horse munched his treat
with a sudden interest in life that ex-
pressed itself in the flicker of it's pal
lid ears and the general bracing up
that means courage.
And a man who had come out of
the big hotel in time to catch the In
cident also went over to the green
grass, pulled bunch and slipped it
into Whitley gray's mouth.
Such is the force of example.-Ex-

No "smoke of Battle" Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish it
from the wars of the past is the abb
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when rife is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than thin
mist that is invisible a hundred yards
away and disappears within few Sec
onds after the gun is fired. Only
when shrapnel or shell explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, "the smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive of the wars OF
the past, has little meaning when ap-
piled to a modern war.-Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
