"A SERMON IN VERSE

If you have a friend worth diving,
Love him. Yes, and let him
That you love him, ere nfe's even
ing
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good works ne'er be
OF a friend---till he is dead?
If you hear song that thrills you
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long,
Why should that that thrills your
+. heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves
you
BY it's humble, pleading tone.
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of 1.-TWO or three" I'M
prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From Borrowing brothers eyes,
Share them. And by sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
If silvery laugh is ripping
Through the sunshine on his face.
Share 1t. IT'S the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy place.
There's health and goodness in the
mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
By friendly helping hand.
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Falter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching IS you go;
Leave them. Trust the Harvest

So, until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack friend.

Last week we told you how to
distinguish the Downy Woodpecker
from the Hairy Woodpecker. / Won
der how many Of our boys and
girls remember
The Hairy Woodpecker is all
black and white except a little red
PATCH on top of his head. His
outer tail feathers are white. He is
nine inches long from tip of beak
to end Of tail.
The Downy Woodpecker is very
nearly like the Hairy Woodpecker,

much smaller, too, being only six
inches long.
Has anyone seen Snowbirds yet?
These birds are dark in color eX-
cept the under parts which are
~; n oe
tail are white and the bill is pink
ish white. They are about the size
of the English Sparrow, and are
generally seen in flocks by the
roadside. They are called Juncas.
We hope our boys will not enter
into the warfare against the Eng
lish Sparrow There are so many
| different kinds of sparrows that
are difficult to tell from the young
English Sparrows that many OF
them will be slaughtered, and we
| do not want our boys to be the
slaughterers.
The Goldfinch stays with us all
winter, but during the winter
months he is a modest little
brownish bird who goes from
place to place in flocks, wherever.
he can find food Those who are
| not acquainted with the different
kinds of birds might easily mis-
take a flock of them for English
| Spanrows.
The Chipping Sparrow is as fond
of mans society as is the English
! SPARROW. While here he is con-
| stantiy in our dooryards and gar
! dens, but he goes South in VIM
ter. He might easily be. mistaken
by those who do not know him, for
the English Sparrow He is con-
sidered valuable bird on account
of his diet of insects and weed
seeds.
Sonce may mistake the Snowbiru
for the English Sparrow as they
are about the same in size and US
ually are seen in flocks, and in
severe weather become quite tame
and come into our dooryards in
search of food.

NOTE. This vAnuric" is adapted
especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as baekache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-
gestion of the kidneys, inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine and
urinary troubles. The physicians and
specialists at DR.. Pierce's great Institu-
ton, at Buffalo, N. Y, have thoroughly
tested this prescription and have been
with one accord successful in eradicat-
ing these troubles, and in most cases
absolutely curing the diseased kidneys.
Patients having once used vAnuric !"
at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, have re-
peatedly sent back for more. Such a
demand has been created that DIR. Pierce
has decided to put vAnuric" in the drug
stores of this country, in ready-to-use
form. If not obtainable send one dime
by mail to DR.. Pierce for trial package
or so cents for full treatment.

Many OF these so-called schools are
mere fakes, giving the veriest smat'
tering only OF the courses they pre-
tend to teach. No girl will be able
TO draw a salary for the work she
viii turn out after such schooling.
To be sure, the school may make
itself safe by providing her with u
position. They do not guarantee
that she can hold II. and she doesn't
hold Il more than few days. IL Is
said by some observers that certain
employment agencies provide fake
employment for graduates from
these schools which give a small bo
nus to the employer to take the
girl on for a few weeks.
The success OF schools OF this
kind Is due TO the fact that so many
girls do not care to learn to do
good work that Is worth fair sal

smattering TO get along with. This

after they had achieved the feat.
Th assault was over in eight minutes
1t was carried out in brilliant moonlight
and despite terrific German counter
barrage fire and sea of mud Every
objective the Canadians sought was
completely won. Though the Germans
repeatedly counter attacked, the Canad-
ians not only kept every inch they had
wrested from the enemy, but before
dawn they had strongly recognized
their positions and dug over 250 yards
of connecting trenches.
Prior to the attack the Canadians had
occupied trench directly south of Pys..
The Regina trench-30O to 500 yards
northward-had been partly occupied a
fortnight ago by Canadians, but thou
sand yard portion remained to be taken.
This section ran from 'Desire trench
TO "Dcath valley" on the east. Severe
fighting had already marked this scene,
but Regina trench being the Germans

Schwaben redoubt and lie Sars.
The space between the trenches -
held on the one hand by the Canadians
and on the other by the Prussan guards
and SaXons-was slightly rolling. 1t
was utterly devoid Of vegetation due
to a blasting shell fire. 1t was unim-

by explosives.

! active in this sector, but as the time
came for the attack the guns were
speeded up until at midnight they made
one continuous roar. The British bar
rage fire began 80 yards in front of the
/ Canadian trenches.
/ A. midnight every man went over the
rarapet and the barrage fire began to
NOV" forward towards the Regina
trench. The gunfire was perfect. The
Canadian wave was enabled to follow
closely and TO assault what remained
of the Prussan guards and the Saxons.
These fought stubbornly but were rout-
ed in two minutes-sOme boltins
through the barrage fire wherein manj
died, some surrendering and some dy
ing in strong resistance. Nobody
shouted stop. The whole assault was ia
perfect silence in this respect.
Desire trench, leading northward from
Regina was the scene of n hard scrim-
mage. Many Germans fled through this
at the Canadians approach but were
evidently ordered at once to return in
counter attack. When this came, the
Canadian bomb throwers advanced me-
thodically up the trench clearing it for
a space of a hundred yards to the north
and then returned part of the distance
to barricade and prevent further dis
turbance from thos quarter.
A violent German barrage fire began
shortly after the Canadian assault start

but little damage. As the Canadians ex
pressed it afterward-in American slang

him to it,
The whole action was model OF

fire was of deadly accuracy-and proof
of this was found at dawn in the Ger

Regina trench. The Darrage fire "got -
