JOFFRE KISSES DOOMED MEN.
French General Shows Affection fol-
Filters About to Die.

A little story about the chief OF
the French army is typical of the
whole of his relations with the armies
Of the republic.
He had called for voluteers for a
special air service, which meant al
most certain death. The three men
selected from the crowd who came
forward saluted and were quietly
walking away when he stopped them
with a word. "Est-ce que les enfants
wont a la mort sans embrasser leur
papa?" (Are the children going to
their death without kissing their pa
pa?) he asked, and kissed them each
in turn.
The depth of the brotherly and
fatherly relations existing in the
French army between officers and
men has always, throughout the war,
seemed to be one of the great secrets
of the strength of the allies.-London
Times.

A FRENCH ANTHOLOGY.
HOW One Soldier Relieves His Mental
Strain.

TO relieve the mental strain OF
trench warfare, some men turn to
poetry" says a writer in the New
Republic; and he quotes the case of
a soldier who had made collection
OF his favorite poems:
1T was a small booklet in soiled
paper covers. Loose leaves from
books of various sizes had been
sewn together in compact little
volume which fitted nicely into the
pocket of his tunic. Among others
he had Kubla Khan 'Comus,' The
Ode on the Intimations of Immorali-
ty,' all of Keats odes and The Eve
of St. Anges,' Shelley's 'Alastor,
Henley's London Voluntaries,' some
nineteenth-century sonnets out Of an
edition edited by William Sharp, and
several poems by Francis Thompson"

The Cowboys Prodigal.

A Texas preacher talked to a cow
boy audience about the prodigal SON.
He described in detail the foolish
boys extravaganza and dissipation
his penury and his husk-eating with
the swine; he told of his return, his
fathers loving welcome, and the
preparation of the fatted calf.
The preacher in his discourse no
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made a
convert, and addressing the COWBOY
personally he said from the pulpit:
My dear friend, what would you
have done if you had had a son re-
turning home like that?"
"Me?" said the cowboy promptly
and fiercely. I'D have shot the boy
and raised the calf. Louis

his automobile, and he took Henry
Chitty and Harry kearse along with
him. but soon the auto refused to go,
and Henry got out and walked home.
The chauffeur then got along very
we'll for while. but did stall once or
twice. and then Harry got out, and
after this it worked very smoothly.
The supposition is that two red mead
lights, in the day time was a little
too much for the automobile.
But every party will have its fac
tions, and Willie Best doesn't like it
because they do not propose to carry
it all the way to Bamberg and put
phone in every mans house along the
route, let him be a pretty man, or
an ugly man. And Eldon Kirkland
doesn't like it because he wants it to
20 to Ulmer and stop right there;
and as for Arthur Brabham, who
never stoops to little things. he wants
it to extend all the way to Atlanta,
Ga. The line, as it is proposed now,
extends through we'll timbered
country, (well timbered with lads and
lasses) and we predict for it a sue
cess.
Lewis Ritter, Henry Chitty, and
Scott Breland all seem to be inter-
ested in this telephone route. A gen.
tleman questioned them, and they all
gave about the same answer, which
was about this way: Il am growing
old and l want to talk to my friends
along the route, and leave something
behind me for the benefit of our pos
terity."
Christmas is. coming, and Coming
events cast a shadow l notice IN
the express Office several packages
marked "a qts." l also notice one
package marked "2 qts.' Now, the
law allowed the man who ordered two
quarts to get four, if he wanted to.

view of the situation, still.

Kearse, Dec. 1S.-When Roosevelt
dropped the Progressive party, the
people of Kearse and Ehrhardt, who
know a good thing when they see it.,
picked it up. So few days ago a
few of our citizens met, and agreed to
build a telephone line from Ehrhardt
with a Y on the route and have one
terminal ending at B. V. kearse's and
the other ending at H. A. kearse's.
We know that very soon this will be
an accomplished fact. They employ

A CENTURY AGO.
How the Christmas Tree Came to
Broadway.

According to a story in the De-
cember issue of The American Boy,
a youth named Oliver Stedman was
the first Christmas tree merchant in
New York city. More than one hum
dred years ago it was when Oliver
and his friend, Mark Carr, went out
into the woods up the Hudson river,
and cut large wagon load of fir
trees and carried them down to the
corner Of Broadway and Vesey
streets, where they made their stand.
Before that, if a New York resident
wanted a Christmas tree, he crossed
the river and cut fir tree for him.
self and carried it home.
