TELLS OF
 EXPERIENCES IN WAR

NEW YORK: Among the passen- gers who arrived recently from Eu-
 rope was Dr. Arthur H. Burling, of San Mateo, Calif., who went over at the beginning of the war as a sur geon ,and afterwards joined the For |eign Legion in France. He was
 wounded three times in the legs and
 once in the shoulder and was pro-
 noted to the rank of captain. He said that his regiment was at
 Missy on the River Aisne,. when it fell into trap that cost several hun Idred lives.
 Early one morning." he said, i've
 came to the bank of the Aisne at
 Missy and saw an empty trench on
 the opposite side, close to burning
 barn. A pontoon bridge was built
 across the river and our regiment was sent to occupy the trench. Not a sound was heard az we marched ever
 the bridge, until we got to the stream,
 about sixteen yards from the river,
 except the cracking of the blazing ltimbers of the barn.
 "NO sooner were we ensconsed in the trench than the Germans opened a terrific fire, apparently from all di- rections. Shells burst in front and
 rear, killing and maiming the men of
 the Foreign Legion right and left. For three days our regiment held the trench hoping for endorsements to
 arrive, and the last thing remember
 was being dragged out of it by a powerful Cameron Highlander. I col Ilapsed again, and did not recover my senses until I was in a hospital at Havre. Afterward the. surgeon told me that only sixty members of my company had survived"
 Dr. Burling said that afterward he was in the military hospital at Ply mouth, England, where he met the |girl who became his wife. She was then a nurse attending to the wound eu. AlIeT VlSlt to Soo HIS 1dmily at San Mateo the doctor will return to the war zone in France.
 Among other passengers on the Cymric was P. H. Simms, of Selma,
 Ala, who said that he was an aviator and had been serving with the British Naval Flying Corps in Belgium, but could not give out any details of his experiences there, as talking was for bidden.

JOHN AND HENRY.

John Brown, with a handful of
 men, started out to free the slaves
 of the South. John Brown got hung
 but his fate inspired somewhat live
 ly old song, and the line of action
 started by. John Brown grew into
 somewhat broadened measure, as
 most any history of the civil war will show. When John started out every
 body said he was crazy and they rid
 iculed him and sneered at him and
 said he was fool, and maybe he was to spend his time and money and give his life to cause which did not ben- eft himself. But afterward they made song about him and fine big oil painting of John Brown from the capitol hung in the Exposition build- ing at San Francisco all year.,
 Henry Ford, sailing on the Oscar II. to try to make peace in Europe, was leading a forlorn hope. but he was bound in the right direction. It may take more than Oscar II or III Tor XIII to make peace in Europe, but for Ford to try it does him hon. or. To sheer at him. to ridicule him, to doubt his sincerity of purpose is not only mean but contemptible, for he is giving his millions and his time for the good of humanity. We do not |agree with everything Ford says, nor endorse everything he does anymore than any other man on earth. but there is lot that is. admirable in him. He has made us a tin gas cart that is so homely and common and sold it so cheap that it has become a part of our national life. He has giv- en something of value to the people for the money has has made which is more than can be said of Morgan or some other Americans who have made millions from the people of this country.-Anacortes Citizen.

THE EFFECTS OF LYING.

Lying is a great sin against God, who gave us a tongue to speak the truth and not falsehood. It is great offense against humanity itself; for, where there is no regard for truth, there can be no safe society between man and man. And it is an injury to the speaker; for, besides the dis grace which it brings upon him, it occasions so much baseness of mind that he can scarcely tell truth or avoid lying, even when he has no col or of necessity for it, and in time he comes to such pass that as other people cannot believe he speaks the truth, so he himself scarcely knows when he tells a falsehood. AS you must be careful not to lie, so you must avoid coming near it. You must not equivocate, nor speak anything positively for which you have no au- thority but report, or conjecture or opinion.-Hale.

T1ME-HoNORED ADVICE.

If a man whose integrity you do not very we'll know makes you great and extraordinary professions, do not give much credit to him. Probably you will find that he aims at some thing beside kindness to you and that when he has served his turn, or been disappointed, his regard for you will cool.
 Beware also of him woh flatters you and comments you to your face, or to one who, he thinks will tell you of it; most probably he has either de ceived and abused you, or means to do so. Remember the fable of the fox commenting the singing of the crow, who had something in her mouth which the fox wanted.
 Be careful that you do not com mend yourself. It is sign that your reputation is small and sinking, if your own tongue should praise you.
 Sir Matthew Hale.

SLEEPING OUTDOORS.

Two of the lightweight army blan- kets are warmer than a single six pound blanket. On cold night the camper sleeps in fresh underwear and socks, trousers, sweater, mackinaw, German socks and moccasins. (It is no hardship, then, to get up and re- plenish the fire.) With the half ax a regular backlog fire can be built and plenty of night wood laid in. Don't use wood that snaps and shoots out embers. If B. snowfall is antic- ipated, cover the tent frame with browse. This will also effectually screen the tent from sparks, Then build the fire as close to the tent as safety permits. If you know how to manage one, it. may be within four feet.

THE MAN WHO LAUGHS.

No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether ir- reclaimably. bad. How much lies in laughter, the cipher key, wherein we decipher the whole man. Some men wear an everlasting barren simper; in the smile of others lies cold glitter of ice; the feryest are able to laugh, what can be called laughing, but only sniff and litter and snigger from the throat outward, or at best, produce some whiting, husky each innation, as if they were laughing through wool; of none such comes the utmost good. The man who cannot laugh is not only fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils, but his whole life is already a treason and strata |gem.-Carlyle.

 Let us, therefore, consider these articles carefully: Rubbers ---rubbers cost too much. Comb--a comb is too cheap. Anyway, there are only seven teeth missing from the comb which father now has, and the miss- ing teeth just match fathers missing hairs.

SELECTING A GIFT FOR FATHER.

The chief business before the house after every one else has been pro- vided for, is selecting a Christmas gift for father. Many possibilities at once suggest themselves. Father could stand a new overcoat Yes, but who has the price to buy father a new overcoat? Answer: Nobody, not even father.
 Father also needs a new pair of rubbers, a new comb, another main- spring in his watch, ten tons of coal. a toupee for the top of his head. six or eight new pairs of shoe laces, a gross of collar buttons. He also has a sneaking desire for half dozen celluloid collars that can't be told from the real thing, because his linen
