THE OTHER ONE

Sweet little maid with winsome eyes That laugh all day through the
 tangled hair: Gazing with baby looks so wise Over the arm of the oalSen chair, Dearer than you is none to me. Dearer than you there can be none: Since in your laughing face I see Eyes that tell of another one. Here where the freight softly glows, Sheltered and safe and snug and
 warm What to you Is the wind that blows Driving the sleet of the winter storm :? Round your head the ruddy light Glints on the gold from your tresses
 spun.
 But deep is the drifting snow tonight Over the head of the other one. Hold me close as you sagely stand Watching the dying embers shine; Then shall l feel another hand That nestled once in this hand of
 mine.
 Poor little hand so cold and chill, Shut from the light of stars and sun, Clasping the withered roses stin That hide the face of the sleeping
 one.
 Laugh, little maid. while laugh you
 may,
 Sorrow comes to us all, 1 know; Better perhaps for her to stay Under the robe of drifting snow Sing while you may your baby songs, Sing till your baby days are done; But on the ache of the heart that longs Night and da for the other one.

In the north the German attacks extended from Les Boeufs to the south of Bouch- avesnes |; front of five miles, and south of the Somme from Ablain- court to the Chaulnes wood about three miles. The attacks were launched after violent artillery prep aration
 Berlin in reverting to the British attack which gave them the town Of Beaucourt says that except at Beaucourt all the British attacks broke down with heavy casualties. On the southern bank of the Ancre the attack las already been shat tered, says Berlin which adds that fighting is proceeding near Saihy- Saillisel and Pressore. According to London 5,G7S Germans have been made prisoner on the Ancre front since Monday. The British losses, considering the extent of the gains, are declared not to have been hish.
 The Transy lvanian front aside from the line in France is furnishing the u0st sanguinary engagement. Here almost everywhere the Austro Ger- mans are gaining ground against the Rrmanians and Russians. In the Tirgujuily.

Sir Benjamin agreed. but pointed out to him that if his family objected they could inter- fere, and that the only way would be to leave a large sum of money condi- tionally on this wish being fulfilled.
 The old boy agreed. and l think $50 900 of a large amount which he was leaving to his daughter and her husband was to go 10 the cremation society if they did not agree. Shortly afterwards he died. and almost imme diately Sir Benjamin had visit from his son lin law, a person, who told him that he had heard of his father-in laws desire for cremation. but he was sorry that he could not allow it. as both he and his wife considered it ungodly.
 sir Benjamin said. If you won't agree l can't help it. and to tell you the truth I'm jolly glad, because in that case $50,000 will come to my so- ciety.' This announcement came as shock. and the next day the person wrote that, after season of prayer he and his wife had come to the conclusion that 1t would be greater sin to let S50,000 go to the society than to allow the body to be cremated Prof the London Observer.

Berlin Report-


 Berlin, Nov. l5, (via London) Special dispatches received here from the Ancre front describe the British gain at Beau mont Hamel and St. Pierre DiviOn as unimportant. The German lines here were formed since the loss of Thiepval. the advanced sector projecting toward the British, enabling them to drum fire 1t advantageously from various posi- tiOns. They did this with their heaviest guns, and the German trenches were badly demolished before the British in fantry attacked
 Preceded by clouds of gas. says the accounts, the attack was delivered with the utmost violence. It extended from Grandcourt to Hebuterne where no oth- CT great attack had been attempted since the first of July offensive. The Germans resisted with desperate cour- age from their battered trenches and succeeded in repulsing the attack on both wings of the sector. in some cases driving the British out after they had already won the trenches.
