GOT TOO MUCH NURSING.
Then the Wounded Man RebeIIed and
Had Some Comfort

Had Some Comfort.
There was no Red Cross in the old
days, and women nurses were not adj
mitted to the field hospitals, but wo-
men were frequent visitors to the sta
tionary army hospitals in the cities,
bringing food delicacies and always
anxious to assist in relieving the suf-
ferings Of their sick or wounded heroes.
James Morris Morgan in his remtnis-
cences Of the Lost Cause" relates
story incident to his visit to a Rich
mond war hospital to see his friend,
Captain F. W. Dawson, who was very
seriously wounded. The day was hot,
and he found his friend lying on a cot
near the open front door so weak that
he could not speak above q whisper.
The poor fellow whispered in his ear.
Jimmie, for mercy's sake make them
move my cot to the back Of the build
ing"
Morgan assured him that he had been
placed In the choicest place In the hos
pttal, so that he could get any little air
that might be stirring, but he still in
sisted that he wanted to be moved, Civ
ing as reason that every lady who en-
tered the place washed his face and fed
him with meat jelly. The result was
that his face felt sore and he was
stuffed so full of jelly that he was most
uncomfortable. AS he was so weak
that he could not defend himself, the
women would not listen to his protests.
At Morris request the head surgeon
pinned a notice on Dawson's sheet to
this effect: This man must be washed
and fed only by the regular nurses"

MASTERY.

7 WOULD not have a god come in
To shield me suddenly from sin,
And set my house of life to rights,
Nor angels with bright burning wings
Ordering my earthly thoughts and things
Rather my own frail gutterlng lights.
Wind blown and nearly beaten out,
Rather the terror of the nights
And long sick cropping after doubt,
Rather be lost than let my soul
Slip vaguely from my own controls;
OF my own spirit let me be
In sole though feeble mastery.

KuItur and Culture

German educators wished to place German schools

Goethe's liberalism the book would be made the official

Goethes unfortunate liberalism and wished to forget
How far the Prussian regime removed itself from
true German culture, this incident demonstrates To
have Goethe's liberalism under imperial tabu is as
intolerant as was the Russian tabu on ToIstoi-and
stupider, because while Tolstois opinions might be
deemed fanatica Goethes those of unqualified
Hghtenment. For the German government to suppress
Goethe as dangerous to itself sefcondemna
tory would be the of the writ

James Russell Lowell.

to pose dfusers of enlightenment throughout be-

eX1Ied Voltaire champion freedom But then
anything possible to the imperial pirate calls upon
God to bless his crimes!

at the person who speaks to you. Do
not forget this. Another is: Speak
your words plainly; do not mutter or
humble. If words are worth saying,
they are worth pronouncing distinct

disagreeable things. If you have
nothing pleasant TO say, keep silent.

REGISTERED MEN TO
KNOW FATE SOON

Washington, Oct. 17.-Secretary
Baker has indicated that a decision
as to the examination and classifica-
tion of all remaining men registered
under the draft law might be reached
in a few days.
Congress eliminated from the
urgent deficiency bill an appropria-
tion for this work and it has been
assumed that the project could not
be carried out, at least, until money
was forthcoming at the next session
in December.
Mr.. Baker also is considering a
proposed change in the process of
examining men which has been rec
commended to him, the details of
which have not been announced.
Discussing reports that several
bills proposing to change the draft
ages will be offered when Congress
reassembles, the secrtary said he
had not changed his opinion that 10
to 26 was the best age limit for mill
tary service. He added. however, he
is considering no amendments to the
present law.

RED LAKE FALLS DISBANDS:
COLERAINE TO PLAY BEMIDJ1

The Coleraine high school eleven
will play the Bemidji high school
team on the local gridiron Saturday
in place Of the Red Lake Falls eleven
which has disbanded for the season.
The Coleraine eleven is this year
being coached by M. B. Scherich, a
former Hastings college star of Neb-
raska. From early reports, Coler-
aine has a fast and shifty aggrega-
tion and no doubt the game will be
one of the most interesting of the
season.
Last night the locals went through
a short but brisk scrimmage.
Dick" Gotta made such a favorable
showing as line plunger that he
seems to have the call for one of the
halfback positions against the range
team in Saturdays game.
Tonight the locals will have an
other scrimmage and long signal
drill as well as practice at receiving
forward passes.
Almond Tharaldson, 160-pound
recruit, joined the squad last night.
Although very much inexperienced
he gives promise of developing into
good lineman before the season is
over.

1t is reported that many printers
from the range will shortly leave for
France where they will enter the e.
gineering corps stationed there.
Recently the government made a
call for this craft and thousands have
responded. They will be employed
behind the lines and at training
camps, as it is the purpose of the
government to establish papers at
all military camps to aid the engi-
neers in their labors.
AS a craft the printers have re-
sponded nobly to the call of Uncle
Sam and today they have larger
representation than any other craft.

EXEMPTION PLEA WHICH
EXCUSES NEW YORKER

New York, Oct. 17.-Many
excuses have been given by
men who failed to appear when
called to go to the Yappahank
training camp with their draft
ed comrades, but the one ad-
vanced in behalf Of John D.
Ovonzo stands all alone.
The excuse given for Ovon-
zo's failure to appear was that
he is to be hanged in New
Britain, Conn.,, November 9 for
killing a man.
Governor Holcomb of Con-
necticut verified the informa-
tion when officials called him
on the telephone. Then the
exemption board got busy and
found a substitute for Ovonzo
so that he could keep his en-
gagement with the hangman.
