Lord Beresford found supporters the

fiscate all enemy property in neu-

His lordship is, as everyone knows,
IN Irishman, and he delights in tell

When he put up for parliament for

EXPERT PROOF IS EXPENSIVE
Street Railway in Massachusetts Pays
Experts a Large Sum to
Boost Fares.

The Bay State Street railway has
paid about $120, 900 to date for the val
uation report on which the road bases
it's plea for six.cent fares, and the val
uation expert is still drawing $50 a
day for t%estifying before the public
service commission, it has developed
during the continued cross-examina-
ton of Robert NJ. Feustel, the $50-a-
day expert, himself, remarks the Bos-
ton Post.
Thus, il the road wins its plea, it
will have to collect 1000, 900 six-cent
fares from patrons in the e~ighty-odd
cities and towns which it serves to
secure an mount equal to the experts
fees.
And if the Bay State company should
lose its plea, it will require 2,40O,OO0
nickel fares to make up the amount
it has paid the expert for preparing a
valuation report on which the road re-
lies to prove its claim that a five-cent
fare does not provide enough revenue
by $1,615, 165 a year. the sum which
Feustel estimates is needed and which
he says a six-cent fare would provide.

When the ship docked at Southamp-

Wounded Get Great Welcome.
The wounded soldier getting back to
England doesn't have chance to I'M
agine that his services are not appre-
ciated. The welcome he receives be-
gins at the railroad station. All traf-
fic is stopped by the hobbies to give
the ambulances a clear way leaving
the station. The people stand in
crowds, the men with their hats off,
while the ambulances pass. Women
rush out and throw flowers to the
wounded men. Sometimes there is
cheer, but usually only silence and
words of sympathy.
The King George hospital was built
to be a government printing office ana
was nearing completion when the war
broke out. 1t has been made a para
disc for cOnvaleScent men. The bare
ness and the sick suggestion and char
acteristic smell, so to speak, of the
average hospital are unknown here.
There are soft lights and comfortable
beds and pretty women going about
as visitors. The stage beauties and
comedians come to entertain us. The
food is delicious, and the chief thought
of every one seems to be to show the
inmates what comfortable and CHEEKY
thing it is to be i'll among lot of real
friends. l was there from December
until February, and my recOllectiOns
of the stay are SO pleasant that some
times l wish 1 was back.
On the Friday before Christmas
there was a concert in our ward
Among the artists who entertained us
were Fay Compton Gertrude Elliott
(sister Of Maxine Elliott), George
RObie and other stars of the London
stage. After our protracted stay in
the trenches and our long absence
from all the civilized forms of amuse-
ment the affair seemed to us the most
wonderful show ever given. And in
some ways it was. For instance, in
the most entertaining of dramatic ex-
hibitions did you ever see the lady
artists go around and reward enthu-
siastic applause with kisses? Well,
The Snowflake herald., 1917-12-28

that's what we got. And 1 am proud
to say that it was Miss Compton who
conferred this honor upon me.
AT about three o'clock on that after
noon, when we were all having d good
time, one of the Orderlies threw open
the door of the ward and announced
in a loud voice that his majesty the
king was coming in. We could not
have been more surprised If some one
had thrown in a Mills bomb Almost
Immediately the king walked in, ac-
companied by number of aids. They
were all in service uniforms, the king
having little in the style of his uni
form to distinguish him from the 9th
erS. He walked around, presenting
each patient with a copy of Queen
Mary's Gift Book" an artistic little
volume, with pictures and short stories
by the most famous of English artists
and writer's. When he neared my bed
he turned to one of the nurses and in
Quired:
''Is this the one?"
The nurse nodded. He came and sat
at the side of the bed and shook hands
with me. He asked as to what part of
the United States 1 had come from,
how had got my wounds and what
the nature of them were, how l was
getting along and what / particularly
wished done for me. 1 answered his
questions and said that everything l
could possibly wish for had already
been done for me.
Thanked by King and Decorated for
Bravery.
II thank you," he said, "for myself
and my people for your services. Our
gratitude cannot be great enough to-
ward men who have served as you
have"
He spoke in very low voice and
with no assumption of royal dignity.
There was nothing in the least thrill
ing about the incident, but there was
much apparent sincerity in the few
words.
After he had gone one of the nurses
asked me what he had said.
"Oh," l said, "George asked me what
I thought about the way the war was
being conducted, and / said I'd drop in
and talk it over with him as soon as
was well enough to be up."
Then happened one of the great dis
appointments of my life. She didn't
see the joke. She was English. She
gasped and glared at me, and think
she went out and reported that was
deiirious again.
Really, wasn't much impressed by
the English king. He seemed a pleas
ant, tired little man with a great bur-
den to bear and not much-of an idea

about how to bear it. He struck me
as an individual who would conscien-
ciOusly do his best in any situation, but
would never do or say anything with
the slightest suspicion of a punch to it.
A few days after his visit to the hos
pital | saw in the Official London Ca
zette that l had been awarded the dis
tinguished conduct medal. Official let
terS from the Canadian headquarters
amplifed this information, and a no.
rtice from the British war Office in
formed me that the medal awaited me
there. was told the king knew that
the medal had been awarded me when
he spoke to me in the hospital De-
spite glowing reports in the Kentucky
press, he didn't pin it on me. Probably
he didn't have it with him, or perhaps
he didn't consider it good form to hang
a D. G. NJ. on a suit of striped preSen-
tation pajamas with a prevailing tone
of baby blue.
While 1 was in the King George hos
pital witnessed one of the most won
derful examples of courage and pluck
have ever seen. A young Scot only
nineteen years old, McAuley by name,
had had the greater part Of his face
blown away. The surgeons had patch
ed him up in some fashion, but he was
horribly disfgured. He was the bright
est, merriest man in the ward, always
joking and never depressed. His own
terrible misfortune was merely the top
ic for humorous comment with him.
He seemed to get positive amusement
out of the fact that the surgeons were
always sending for him to do some.
thing more with his face. One day he
was going into the operating room and
a fellow patient asked him what the
new operation was to be.
"Oh," he said, ''Tm going to have
cabbage put on in place of a head.
It'll grow better than the one have
nOW."
Once in a fortnight he would man
age to get leave to absent himself from
the hospital for an hour or two. He
never came back alone. 1t took a
couple of men to bring him in. On the
next morning he would say:
swell, it was my birthday. A man
must have few drinks on his birth
day."
l was discharged from the hospital
in the middle of February and sent to
a comfortable place at Hastings, Sus-
sex, where 1 lived until my furlough
papers came through. l had a fine
time in London at the theaters and
clubs pending my departure for home.
When my furlough had arrived l went
to Boxton, Derbyshire, where the Ca

Head 1t Burnt Fork il,
Woods Fires.

Stevensville. Sept. 13.-(Special.)--
After losing 1000 sheep in Burnt Fork
canyon since July 1, Mills Wright has
decided to take the remainder of his
flock put and ship them back to Idaho.
One thousand OF the missing sheep
were burned in the forest fire. and the
others were lost in the forced drives
taken. to avoid the flames. They are
scattered in little punches for miles
and miles in each direction from their
old camp. and though men have been
hunting them, they have had small
success. for when found it is next to
impossible to drive the small bands
because of the rough character Of the
country.
When the band of sheep entered the
forest reserve on July they numbered
$500. Two thousand and two hun
dred will be shipped back to the home
ranch at Burley, Idaho. The lost sheep
were mostly yearling ewes, and were
valued at about $12 per head.
