Two Power County Citizens Up
Against Hard Proposition.

Two Power county citizens
arrested Monday have been
bound over to the United States
district court on a charge of
stealing coal from an inter
state shipment. The complaint
was filed by the Oregon Short
Line Railway company.
The penalty for this offense
is from one to ten years in the
federal penitentiary, or a max
imum fine of $1,000. The mini
mum fine in a federal court is
rarely less than $3.50, so no mat
ter how badly one needs coal,
nor how poor they may be, it is
not safe to take coal from a
train. Railroads have sustain
ed such heavy losses from coal
depredations that they are not
disposed to be lenient.

sides of the esplanade, battery of the
famous "75" artillery occupying the
fourth side. In the center of the hollow
square were four lines of men who could
not rejoin their regiments, a missing
arm or leg, bandaged head, telling only
too clearly the story of some act of
bravery. The general, with his staff of
officers, approached these modest heroes.
Reading aloud the citations in the orders
of the day, telling in brief official Ian
guage the especially heroic deeds ac-
complished by each individual, he pinned
on each breast the Legion of Honor, the
military medal or war cross and be-
slowed the accolade while an army aero
plane hovered overhead.
The general had nearly finished
awarding the decorations. He was now
pinning the Legion of Honor on Jacques.
Brave little Jacques, hardly more than

find what hospital he was in and 60 at
once. We went and found the same
quiet boy, but with a new light in his
face. He was no longer the boy that had
left home a few brief months before; he
had become a man.
His mother embraced him tenderly
and begged him to clasp her tight in his
arms. He smiled wanly and turning the
bed covers back showed both sleeves
empty at the shoulder That was why he
had not written. After carrying his
captain back to safety he had been
wounded by bursting shrapnel, gas gan
creme had set in and to save his life II
had been necessary to amputate.
Two months had passed since our first
visit to the hospital and his mother and
l stood watching the general pin the
scarlet ribbon of the Legion of Honor
on little Jacques. After the medal was

boy with down on his cheeks, always
quiet and reserved, was now receiving
the highest award of his government.
We had always thought Jacques too
timid to do anything great. l remember
how his mother sat home pale and dry
eyed when she realized that her baby
must leave to serve his country.
How anxiously we awaited his letters
which always brought with them a spirit
of confidence and admonitions not to
worry. Suddenly the letters stopped.
Two months passed by without a word
from him. One morning a neighbor
came running in with a newspaper relat-
ing how Jacques had been severely
wounded and had been cited in the
orders of the day for gallant conduct on
the field of battle; had shown himself
on many occasions unafraid even in the
face of danger. During recent charge
he had carried his captain back to safety
under the enemy's heavy shell fire.
How proud the little mother was Of
him! She went down on her knees and
thanked God that her boys life had been
spared. The last two months of uneer-
tainty had been most trying. We must

on me at the moment of that summons
to the dead. I felt something like that
which one feels after a fervent COM
munion.
I know that there Is nothing Of the
hero about me. Every time have had
to jump over the parapet I have shivered
with fear and the distress which seized
me in the height of action is not an ac-
cident In my soldering life. / deserve
no compliment 1t is the living who car
ried me along by their example and the
dead who led me by the hand.
The cry came not from the mouth OF a
man but from the heart of all those who
lay there. Lying and dead. One man
alone could not find that accent. 1t
wanted the collaboration OF several
souls, aroused by circumstances and
some of them already floating in eternity.
In the distance we heard the tramp of
many feet. Occasionally bar of far off
music was carried to us by some playful
breeze. We strained our eyes down the
long concourse across the Pont Alexan-
dre III, but could see nothing but long
lines of expectant people on either side
of the curb. Here they comet" the
crowd began to cry and sure enough the
long gray lines could be seen turning in
from the Champs Elysees bearing at
their head the tricolor banner. On they
came, the late afternoon sun glittering
on the officers swords and the bayonets
and blue gray metal casques of the men.
GriEzled veterans these, who had been
wounded and now cured, were returning
to the battle line in the north Standing
almost in the shadow cast by NapoIeon's
tomb we watched them approach. Some
one recognized a friend and hailed him.
