you and me that we know our boy

Mary. But not for Harry. l mean to
show folks that l believe he lies among
the nations honored dead at Gettys-
burg and was not a deserter, even If
the records at Washington say he was.
l knew my boy-our only child. We
gave him to the Union. That record
is a dreadful mistake"
And so 1t was every Memorial day
and at the annual encampments of the
Grand Army Aaron Treadwell never
failed to give public testimony of his
faith In his sons innocence. Mrs.
Treadwell always pleaded with him to
be content with his own firm convic-
ton of his sons soldierly qualities.
But it was all In vain, and the father
and mother appeared together.

never be too old to do this for Harry.
God forbid it! Harry never turned his
back on his duty, not V e with the
threatened slaughter at Gettysburg"
Prescott sent many strong men to
the front In 1861. Some of them are
alive today, and each Memorial day
they walk to the cemetery on the brow
of the hill, and the blue peaks of New
Hampshire's majestic mountains look
down upon their devotion.
One of these brave boys was Harry
Treadwell, the only child and main
stay of his father and mother on the
Blue Hill farm. When Captain Lang
organized a regiment of the New
Hampshire farmers from Grafton
county Harry had returned flushed with
excitement and the ardent patriotism
of his nineteen years.
"I must go, father. l hate to leave
you and mother. and so much to do
with all the new land we have cleared,
but it wouldn't be right. One of US
must go. and it were better 1t was l."
Mary Treadwell's face blanched.
"Oh, Harry" she exclaimed, 1--WE an

In the meantime Captain Lang had
been telling Of the old mans faith In
his son. He had Just entered when
the form of Aaron Treadwell, erect
with a face beaming with happiness
came into the room. He went up to
the captain.
The old soldier seemed to expostulate
gently, but Aaron Treadwell insisted.
He drew forth an old wallet, and, shut
fling among some Of his boys letters,
brought forth the bill for the watch.
"There's the number, captain. / al
ways knew it; now I want the rest to
know it."
Captain Lang went to the curator,
and they quietly unlocked the case.

both love-"
And so it was decided. During the
following six weeks Harry drilled witt
the others on the village green. Hii
enthusiasm often dried the tears OF
his mothers cheeks and made his IA
theirs heart bound with pride.
There are worse troubles than this
mother" he would say, "and one o.
them would be to stay up here in Tres
colt while the others went to do thu
fighting"
When the day came for departure
after the first battle of Bull Run, his
mother gave him a Testament and {
little memorandum book. Aaron Tread
well had been down to the Erescot
National bank and, drawing out a por
ton of the money saved from the prof
its of the Blue Hill farm, gave him I
gold watch.

GERMAN SOLDIERS AND BEER.

According to Edward Landsberg,
head of the United States Brewing
company of Chicago, Germany has a
ruling that two-thirds Of all the beer
made in the empire must go to the
men at the front Each German sol
der has a daily allowance Of one gall
Ion of beer. "We do not know if this
statement is true" says the American
Issue, "but If it is, it explains the raw
ages committed by the Germans in
Belgium and northern France. 1t ex-
plains the butchery and mutilation of
babies and the uhspeakable crimes
committed on helpless women and
bears out the declaration Of science
and medicine that beer is a brutalizer.
IF these horrors result from beer
diet, then in the name of America keep
beer away from our soldiers!"

BEER AND STUPIDITY.

"Ihe most sinister thing about beef
is its apparent harmlessness," says
Dr.. Edwin r. Bowers. "Whisky, wine

drinks long hid behind the Biblical
bulwark, for the stomach's sake Al

claimed so widely and entertalningly

Cost Of Feeding Nlrpon's Soldiers.

It costs about 43 sen a day (about
% cents) to feed a private in Japan's
Second imperial body guard regiment,
according to an officer quoted in Yom-
iuri, a venacular paper. OF this, 10
sen goes for a quart of rice and bar
ley go per cent barley and is sen
for meat and vegetables. This sum is
not as small as it seems, as everything
is one-third under market price when
bought for the army. For breakfast,
In addition to the cereal, bean soup is
served, and for lunch and supper the
menu includes vegetables and fish or
meat. Cooking and distribution Is
carefully done by a staff of 20 men, in
Guiding three lieutenants, three SER
geants and IA privates-or one cook
for every 80 men in a regiment of l.
800. Unusued food is sold to cheap
eating houses, the money thus gained
being spent for extra dishes on fes-
tive occasions.

 May God help them and en- Tighten them SO they can see it's best for Sam to go on before. May God help the dear little wife to care for her two babies and raise them to be honorable men, for he leaves a wife and two little boys, one two years old and the oteer three weeks old.
 This is the second boy Elias Turner has given up in the last two months with that dreaded disease, typhoid fever. The first was Bill Joe, 19 years of age, a bright and intelligent boy.
 Though not blessed with the opportunities of many boys. he had improved his time well, studied hard, and had reached the Sth and 9th grades in school. He was attending school when he took this fever and God saw fit to take him from us.
 Then Sam was stricken. All that loving hands could do was done for five or six weeks, but God was stronger than medical aid.
