Killing the Calves

ALI sorts of excuses are
offered for the high price of
beef, the most plausible be-
ing the alleged demand for
veal-"the killing of calves
which should be allowed to
growinto regularbeef." You
cannot have beef if you eat
it as veal, but you can have

Apply for Teams

Cards were distributed on which tho
ministers were asked TO make formal
applications for teams Of trail hitters
for their respective churches. Dr.
Dowic explained that Mr. Sunday was
worn out from preaching his booze

unable to come to New York and intro

Neither Mr.. Sunday nor the sunday

TO feel that we have a plan that is per

less you are with US. But We feel that
we have ii good plan. and that with It
and your assistance we shall bring to

Al Saunders, a trail hitter from
Scranton, Penn, as fiery Of hair, mus

used TO drink, told how the evangelist
had brought hifn down the sawdust aisle
after he had neither "graced nor dis

Teller. IT,. wept the first time he heard
Al Saunders tell his story. Saunders
said that before Sunday came 70 town

Explains Detroit Revival
Before MA" Sunday was called upon
for final talk. James Schermerhorn,
owner and editor of "The Detroit
Times" kept the audience IN an uproar
while he told of the Detroit revival and
how he hoped New York would receive
the evangelist.

that was hurrying to the front.
''No. For two years you received
a military training in your own coun-
try. Tomorrow you must join the army
of France"
''But you" he pleaded, and broke
down. She returned his kiss.
"If we are both alive we will find
each other upon your great day of
Thanksgiving ten weeks away. And
until then" But there is no need
of going into their parting, for the last
words of love are sacred. However,
three days later she was in Belgium
marching in that wonderful unknown
army which even the eagle eyes of the
enemy's spies had not discovered; the
army Of minute men which lay hidden
behind Paris.
Came the day when the hot breath
of advancing hosts was in the very
face of the great capital upon the
Seine. In companies, regiments, bat
talions and divisions they came in an
endless martial sea, sweeping the le-
gions of the tri-coIor before them miles
each day. And then it was that the
great French general sprang his trap.
In cars, buses, automobiles and by
every means which ingenuity could de-
wise, the secret army from behind the
city was rushed to the front. Billy,
in the midst of it, heard the rumble
and grumble of the battle from miles
away, and seeming it felt the hair on
the back of his head bristle as il
does upon a dog when he smells a
wolf. Then in a great surge there
swept over him the thought of Char
mette, and tears blinded him as he
imagined her so slender and helpless
wandering homelessly in her desolate
country; and with it a longing vast
and unutterable to throw down his
gun and go rushing blindly away in
search of her that he might take her
in his arms and bear her away from
all this hell to the peace and happi-
ness that had been theirs through the
long summer when the days had fallen
softly as thistledown. God how he
hated it all-this war and blood and
heartbreaks. And then without know.

rushing forward into gray murk with

ripples and drank unfortunately. Then
as he turned upon his back again a
pain shot through his head, and some
one whom he could not see, but who
was close By him, began whimpering
like hurt puppy. Endlessly the whim-.
perings continued, until, unable to en-
dure them longer, he sat up and rough
ly babe the complainer cease his noise.
And as he did this the fog was swept
from his brain and he found himself
lying in the debris of battle-swept
wood with the noise of the conflict still
coming to him from afar. A fright
full pain stabbed his brain and from
his dry throat burst a weak moan, and
then it was that he realized that it had
been his own voice which had been
whimpering. Then all grew dark once
more.
For what seemed an eternity he lis
tened to unseen persons whispering
about him, while slowly, very slowly
the darkness lifted. Came a day
when he opened his eyes. He was ly-
ing in clean hospital with rows of
other cots on every side. Once more
his head was clear, but upon him was
the weakness of long illness. A nurse
with red cross upon her arm passed
his way, stopped before him and
smiled.

But she had no time to bring. Down

herself upon her knees by his bedside,
