verse 16. "All Israel and Judah loved
David" In a recent novel entitled

character OF the insane Nero Is strik-
ingly depicted. IL gives us a good idea
Of how Saul must have behaved when
the spell was on him. Ii was certainly

David as he did, but he was so unfor-
tunate that he could not help himself.
He even went so far as to issue in
structions to Jonathan, his son. and
to all his servants" that they must not
fail to kill David. Poor Saul was GER

remain In hiding at an appointed place
until he sounded his father and found

Alfalfa For Pasture.

There are many known instances
where alfalfa has been used for pas
turing both horses and cattle without
any injurious results. but as a matter
OF fact there is always n little danger
In p~asturing cattle on alfalfa. They
should become accustomed to the crop
gradually. and they should never be
turned into an alfalfa field when they
are hungry. When cattle are pasturec

running over to the German lines. A
young lieutenant sent them scurrying
right back again with the words: *If
you only come by fours that doesn't
do us any good. Run back and bring
some more; then you'll get something
good to eat and warm to drink
1t was a comic sight to see the dark,
grotesque figures go bounding over the
snow, arms raised in the air from
fright, says the narrator. But, sure
enough, in an hours time the four
came back and brought thirty-eight
other a with them.
An ultra modern war ruse was en-
ployed by some Germans, who placed
a photograph in an empty front
trench and turned loose on the mid
night air a many voiced Maennerchor
record, themselves Withdrawing to safe
shelter. taking turns to crawl out to
keep the photograph going. The
French promptly sent ove a shower Of
bullets In an attempt to break up the
supposed Maennerchor brazenly sing
ing under their very noses, and finally
one freak bullet smashed the phono-
graph. But the horn escaped damage,
and afterward vas used as a mega
phone to "reproach" the French, 250
feet away.
How Garrison Got a Dominic.
The Bavarian General Zoellner, who
Is the great general Stairs specialist
on Americana, told me the following
human interest story: One of the phe-
nomena of the war, he said. was the
marked increase in the need Of and de-
mand for spiritual consolation, so that
the demand for field chaplains often
exceeds the supply. The landsturm
garrison of a town in France wasn't
the lucky possessor Of a preacher of its
own, and there was one left in town
to minister to them, SO when they just
couldn't stand being without spiritual
consolation any longer they sent out
patrols to look for some and bring II
In. One spiritual scouting party finally
returned in triumph with a venerable
Jewish rabbi And the rabbi made
good. He has been engaged for the
entire season to conduct Sunday night
services for the landsturm garrison.
Another story was told me about a
Bavarian landsturm company that got
tired Of leading the simple life In a
village close to the front and went on
the rampage to get into some real fight
ing on its own hook. The old, bearded
Bavarians stormed the front German
trench, told the youngsters to go back
and sit down and took their places In
the firing line. continuing to have a
beautiful time until rounded up and
gently coaxed back to the village. The
Bavarians are the wild lrishmen among
Germans and can always be depended
upon to add to the gayety Of even war
ring nations.

French, who discovered the maneuver
as they noticed the calf developing
marked pro-German tendencies, opened
fire. The calf fell, pierced by fourteen
French bullets, but the soldier got back
into the trench unhurt and drew the
dead calf In after him. That night the
Germans had roast veal.

"What we most fear are the Ger

An English eyewitness of the var

renee illustrating the situation due to
the nearness of the combatants and
the frequently changing possession Of
the trenches. He says:
wishing to find out whether certain
trenches were occupied after our troops
had been fighting during the day, two
officers set out at night to get in touch
with our men. They came to q COM
munication trench which appeared to
run In the right direction and walked
down 1t. The first thing they came
upon was a dugout with candles burn
ing and German equipment scattered
about. Thinking it might have been
captured, they continued down the
trench. taking the precaution of blow
ing out the candles.
Presently they came to another
trench running at right angles to the
one they were in. No o M had they
entered than they were challenged
sharply In German. They fed. and a
shower of bullets battered after them.
