ders how a rag man ever makes a liv- ing.
 A man can be a big bully when he is out with other men. But you ought to hear him whine and beg when he tele- phones his wife that he has to stay down town that evening.
 It is different with a man. But a girl is never 10 years older than she was d decade ago.
 When a mans conscience won't let him sleep he planes it on his indiges- tion.
 A man gives girl credit for nodes ty when she refuses to kiss him because he can't think of any other reason why she should refuse.
 A man can blame a woman for all his troubles and like her all the better for it.
 A man will admit that all the lam mings he got when he was kid he got from his mother. And yet he is usually fonder of his mother than he is of his father who never damned him.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS"

A business firm in Western Can ada has hung in conspicuous .place in it's works the following "Ten Demandments" for the benefit of it's employees:
 1. Don't lie. It wastes my time and yours. I am sure to catch you in the end, and that is the wrong end.
 2. Watch your work, not the clock. A long days work makes a long day short; and a short days work makes my face long,
 3. Give me more than I expect and l will give more than you ex- pect. l can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profits.
 4. You owe so much to yourself you cannot afford to owe anbody else Keep our of debt, or keep out of my shop.
 5. Dishonesty is never an ac. cident. Good men, like good women, never see temptation when they meet it.
 6. Mind your own business, and in time you'll have business of your own to mind 7. Don't do anything here which hurts your self-respect. An employe who is willing to steal for me is willing to steal from me.
 8. It is none of my business what you do at night. But if dissipation affects you the next day and you do half as much as I demand, you'll last half as long as you hoped.
 9. Don't tell me what I'd like to hear. but what I ought to hear don't want valet to my vanity, but one for my dollars
 10. Don't kick if I kick. If you're worth while correcting you're worth while keeping. I don't waste time correcting specks out of rotten ap plies.

HISTORIES MOST TERRIBLE PAGE
(S. s. McClure)

(S. 5.
 The most brilliant page in French history IS op en to the eyes of the world. It is the battlefield ol Verdun In this battle of Verdun, in six months armies in our whole Civil War. The battle of Yer dun involving as much fighting all our Civil War had hundreds of Thermopyaes. hundreds of Gettysburgs, but each infinitely more terrible than the world had before. Most battles last one or two days. This battle has lasted 356 days and is yet ended. In certain exposed places death was almost inevitable, but the French youth regiment regiment, went forward to hold them until death No surrender retreat. It was their mad bravery and divine courage that held Verdun It was the greatest test Nation ever endured, and the youth of France never faltered there, but has gone on day after day, week after week, month after month, facing death mutilaon and torture Tn their most terrible form
 In other days heroism was matter of hours, sharp, thrilling, unexpected. Most men can face death for brief space, but the youth who saved France knew beforehand what to come, and lived and moved days, weeks and months meeting death in it's most mysterious and terrible forms courage for generations to come.
 For generations to come the youth of all coun tries will visit Verdun and the land made holy by the blood and anguish of hundreds of thousands of young who revealed qualities and endurance surpassing all possible anticipation; who showed before what France is, in courage, selfdenal, nobility and infinite endurance.
 AS regiment after regiment marched up the sin gle road that available was told that no one smiled but hestated. All the men, muni- tiOns and provisions went this single road all the wounded brought back by this road. is called the Via Sacra
