Of my soldier acquaintances described

this war. They find time to amuse
themselves. They have not forgotten
how to laugh. They go at their fight

are enjoying themselves.

But the young officer had fed, laugh

before. So that the artillery captain
was forced to recur to the seven little
chasseurs. He sketched in a few words
and by gestures the manner in which
they crept through the night in the

A Battle in Rhyme.
On the board nailed to a nearby tree
was the rhymed story of the fight at
Domevre. Perhaps the rhyme was not
good one. I do not know. But 1t
helped me to visualize that fight in the
night. The first verse will give an
idea of the treatment. A very free
translation might run this way:
'They went out into the sombre
night. the eyes open, the nerve tense,
fearing only to be heard in the silence
of the shadows"
Details are somewhat lacking as to
the fight. There have been so many
greater fights that are completely for
gotten. This might have been over
looked but for that artist in the ranks
who has worked in stone and army
cloth in default of more plastic ma
terials. The artillery captain who es-
corted US was somewhat vague about II.
His interest was in the artistry. not in
the mere fighting. Deeds OF this sort,
we gathered, were of everyday occur

THE STORY OF WENDELL
PHILLIPS.
BY Charles Edward Russell.

When, before the War, Wendell Phil
lips denounced chattel slavery, he was
assaulted by the slaveholding interests
of the South; when, after the war, he
rejected all proffers of high political
office and threatened wage-slavery,
he was assailed by the manufacturing
interests of the North. In both in
stances he threatened somebody's
profits. That was all, and for this
reason Southern fire-eaters offered a
price for his head.
Yet, in his long life of ceaseless ac-
tivities, he debated for no crown,
argued for no fees, strove for no re-
ward, sought no place nor any fame,
cared for no achievement for its own
sake, and used his unequalled gifts
only for some cause OF Justice or free
dom in which he could carr nothing
but oblokuy, hatred and isolation.
No man ever gave up more for the
sake Of his faith. All his brilliant ca
reer was wrecked in an instant. His
friends and family deserted him. Some
of his relatives declared that he was
insane and planned to have him o
fined in an asylum. The press cover
ed him with ridicule and abuse.
For more than twenty years he lived
in daily danger of his life, with a price
on his head.
When a cause was won, as in the
case of the abolition Of slavery in the
South, and in the natural revulsion
of popular feeling men sought to make
him its hero, he put aside their trib'
utes and demanded their attention to
the next unpopular reform.
Compared with such a career, the
stories of the men that on the grounds
of material triumph have won place
in the worlds regard, seem poor in
deed. They toiled for themselves, oil
for the glory of achievement.
This mans single and unselfish pur
pose was to win better conditions fol
the unfortunate, wherever they might
be, to strive against injustice, to fur
Their brotherhood, to spread liberty.
AS ~ardently as other men sough
wealth and power, he sought the Com
mon Good.
This is an outline of the story Rus
sell tells in this book of 1876 pages
including many glowing passage
from Phillips speeches. Almost an,
capitalist publishing house woul
have paid the author handsomely TO
this book if toned down" Russell
prefers to have us print it unexpurgat
ed, at a price the workers can pay
So we offer it in neat strong clotl
binding at soc postpaid.

Touch life's keys with sorrows hands,
Whisper soft and low,
Like deaths river through life's lands
Let the sad strains flow.
Place this white rose DER her heart,
Strew the lilies fair;
Sweetly did her soul depart
On Gods starry stair.
Touch life's keys with sorrows hands,
Peace and mercy moan;
Prayers of roses make the stands
For her glory throne.
Yet love breathes of other times,
Faith and hope foretell
Souls rejoin in blissful climes
And for aye, they dwell.
