politics our postmaster is rever-
sible, remaining with one party
only so long as that party can
make good and remain in power.
Having no patience with any po-
litical organization that goes
down in defeat, he changes his
faith overnight, and this enables
him to remain in the postoffice.
In religious belief the postmas-
ter is a hardshell Baptist, but is
not hostile to any other So called
religious organizations. The
postmaster has never been in
war, though he bears scars
which were sustained while he
was on duty for the government
as postmaster. These wounds
were made a short time ago by
his being bit on the ankle by a
stray hog that happened around
the postoffice at feeding time.
He is well enough up in law to
know that he has has grounds
there for a pensiod yet he re.
trains from taking advantage of
the government in any such a
way. In the operation of the
postofice he believes strongly in
the motto of live and let live, .
having one price to all. He
takes much interest in the run
ming CT the government and has
from time to time made some
valuable suggestions as to wha
Congress should do.

Brain Workers Diet.

The editor of a medical journal
recently made a search of the BIZ
ographies of brain workers to
find those who had been exclu-
sively vegetarians. He has
found several who tried a vege-
tartan diet and gave it up, but
not one who persisted in it.
Benjamin Franklin, who
stuck for a year or more to his
resolution to eat no animal food,
looked upon the taking of animal
life for purposes of food as "a
kind of unprovoked murder. ,"
But when he saw small fish re-
moved from the stomachs of
larger ones he reasoned, eff you
eat one another, | do not see
why we may not eat you," so he
dined upon cod very heartily, re-
turning only now and then to q

A Mothers Part.

Miss Mary Blake gives us this
very beautiful description of
mothers part in life: Whatever
tends to make our family life
purer and stronger is doing the
best and noblest service for Sc
ciety. Brave little H oil la nd
keeps the whole mighty Atlantic
at bay with her dikes of COM
monplace earth and stones and
turf, mere everyday material.
Take courage, weary mother!
Your life may seem to you not
much more than a dreary grind,
day after day, to supply the
physical wants of your children,
but if they grow up to love and
honor you, because you deserve
their love and honor; If they go
out from you to build up other
homes like the one you have
made to them the purest and
sweetest place on earth, you
have built a few rods of dixie
over against your own house,
and so have built not for your
self alone, but for all society;
not for to-day alone, but for all
time.

JUBILEE PROVES
J. A BIG SUCCESS
V.E CROWDS ATTEND AFTER.
!; AND EVENING SESSIONS.

AFFAIR PROVES FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Many Permanent Improvements are
Made on Fair GrOundS.-Future
Events Assured.

Jubilee week in Manchester, the
first public entertainment conducted
under the auspices of the Manchester
Commercial Club, was pronounced
success. There were no disappoint-
ments. The attractions were all given
as advertised and the entertainment
features were even better than antici-
pated. The rain Wednesday night and
the threatening weather of Thursday
morning doubtless kept many away
on Thursday which is usually count
ed as being the biggest day. A large
crowd however, was on the grounds
both afternoon and evening. The at
tendance figures show the popularity
of the evening entertainments. The
carnival company enjoyed a large
patronage each night and the moving
picture feature 'The Battle Cry of
Peace" filled the amphitheater to over
flowing every evening.
On Friday afternoon an aeroplane
advertising the Dubuque celebration
flew over from Dubuque to Manches-
ter in fifty-eight minutes. It alighted

The total attendance was over 10,-
900 and more than third Of the
tickets were sold for the night ses-
sions. ...
The commercial club will pay out in
full and have money left. All prem
iums and purses were paid promptly
and all obligations will be cleared up
this week. The total receipts were
over $47O0 and the total expenses are
estimated at about $4,000.
Many of the items of expense were
for permanent improvements and will
not have to be made another year.
The success of the celebration this
year should encourage the idea of
similar one next year. .

wonder of the scene. AS we trayersed
the trench for over three kilometres
about , miles giving away chocolate
and little Gospels to the soldiers, we
were received with great interest and
not a little cuiosiry. "A lady in the
trenches?" is was unbelievable. The
soldiers stared and stared. You are
the first lady they have ever seen
here. the officers said repeatedly We
were shown the place where only the
day before three soldiers had suffered
one death, two, grave wounds, from
an exploding shell, and were given
the shell head which had been recov-
cred We crawled into dugouts,
where we're concealed machine guns,
also saw other in which soldiers were
sleeping and some officers with a
chair and table.
And as we walked through, to our
left, everywhere the graves of fallen
soldiers. Hundreds there were, and
all so carefully tended; Ornamented,
many Of them with bits Of stone and
brick, and here and there some care
| fully nutured flowers struggling into
| bloom. A shell may wipe out their
painstaking efforts one day, but the
next, the soldiers repair the dam age.
| A tragic bit of realism was added to
| the scene, when we saw staggering
| in from the outpost, bent figure or a
soldier. Over the trench top we
watched him come, till he reached
the trench, almost fainting from
weakness. Wounded in the shoulder by
shrapned; already The flush of fever
was in his face, and his eyes glittered
with the unshed tears that his pain
called forth Two others there were
at the outpost. more seriously wound

them in. and they must wait until
nightfoll for medical attention A bit

Testament we slipped into his pocket
! but he was too far gone TO notice or
thank us.
:. So our trip was completed, we
said good bye and thank you. to the
kindly Major Of the Regiment who had
accompanied us; we accepted two OF
three rings from soldiers who pressed
forward to give us these souvenirs OF
our visit; and once more we took our
perilous way back 70 the waiting mo-
tor car.
Then back again to LaPanne; then
in few hours, saying good bye to
our beloved Peter, and farewell to the
Belgian front So ended our memora-

again to our work in London; from
whence we could after all best serve
and aid our Belgian boys: For it is
for them that we are living these days
and be It spiritual help, or temporal
assistance. we have our commission,
and we. are content to serve.
Note-I am the only lady. beside the
lula who has ever been granted this
privilege visiting the first line OF
trenches. Also | might say that dur
ing the entire time of our visit to
the trenches the shells were flying

were the trenches were too far from
the German lines for rifefiring. II
