Tee following article taken from the Pooatello Tribune, tells the story of the wOunding of one, Jake Crum, and is a fair example oP the American" when he gets into a fight. It is reprinted to show the spirit of adventure, 30 strong in the American cannot be appeased until it is satisfied, and to satisfy his longing for adventure, which could not be had at home, Jake went to the front and joined the French army. The writer knew him in 1892, and his letter, written in a British hospital, while convales cing from a wound received in bat tie shows that he has changed very little during the last quarter of q century:
 With the same old spirit o8 ad- venture, says the Tribune, al- though considerably BODerea Dy LAe tragedies of the great war, Jake Crum writes home again to his friend, "Curley' Brown, and states that he is just getting out of hospital, and yill soon join his di- vision at the French front. He is Q gamester and no mistaking that and is anxious to again get into the war game that has been the ex- citement of a large part of his life. He appears to think that the Ger man cause is dwindlng, and his quaint bit of philosophy to the et- feet that he haa lost faith in everything but the British arms is one of his characteristic and ori- ginal expressions, and his letters are read by many Pocatollo friends with about as much eagerness and popularity as .Vonce surrounded the famous letters of Billy Baxter. He writes from Ireland in his latest
