Earn Money on Side.
Many of the men earn money other

HAS MESSAGE FOR ALL BOYS
Young Man Draws Lesson From
Strange Experience Which Fell
to His Lot.

81 wish l could send a message to

strange coincidence that happened to
me when I was a boy" exclaimed a
young man the other day.
"One hot. sultry July afternoon-the
hottest day we had that SUMNER
had just turned our street corner when
met my father.
"T wish you would deliver this
package for me, joe he said rather
weakly, as 1 remembered afterward.
Now 1 was only thirteen years old and
had been out playing IN the hot sun all
morning and was all in when I met
my father after playing a ten-inning
game with our side the losers. My
glance at his kind, gentle face stopped
me. Surely 1 will go, father said
pleasantly.
"'Thank you, son. was the answer.

very well today and 1 thought you

he would not send me on this jaunt
(about one mile and half), on such
hot day. But somehow the words,
I thought you would not refuse and
You have always been good boy to
me. Joe,' seemed to ring In my ears
and before I reached the end of my
journey 1 was whistling a merry tune.
Returning home, saw our doctors
auto and a crowd of people at our
door. One of my aunts hurried to meet
me with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Your father fell dead just as he reach
ed the stoop,' she said.
Il found out later the last words my
father spoke were. You have always
been q good boy to me. joe"

will eat grass or the dust from the
street rather than surrender on the
allies terms" he said. He told how
bad the treatment and the food was In
the German prison camps he had been
in seven, so he could Judge After ev-
cry attempt to escape he had been
transferred TO a different camp, but
everywhere the prisoners were treated
brutally, the officers as well as the
men. How he had at last succeeded
in getting away with his two compan-
ions he preferred not to say-because
he feared that would make escape
more difficult for his comrades still in
captivity. He did, however say that
what made escape very difficult was
that it caused great surprise to people
in German towns and villages to see
three able-bodied men walking about,
and he and his companions had been
obliged to invent all sorts of tales
about having been wounded and being
now on leave TO account for their alb
sence from "the front"
German soldiers frankly beg for food
on the Dutch border. The officers don't
go quite as far as that. There is a sort
of neutral zone along the frontier
where Germans and Hollanders can
meet. There the German officers often
congregate and make overtures of COM
radeship to their colleagues on the
other side. Friendly relations exist,
and when the luncheon hour comes,
provisions the Germans have, they in
wife the Germans to lunch. A picnic
is held and the Germans consume in
credible quantities of rolls, sausages
or ham sandwiches, and loudly praise
the coffee the orderlies of their Dutch |
comrades serve. They say they never
get good coffee any more.
Although the Dutch officer often |
meets his German colleagues, il must |
not be supposed he always agrees with.
their methods of discipline toward |
their own men. Both officers and sol
diers in Holland, by far the greater
number of them at-least. strongly dis
approve of the brutal and heartless
way in which most German officers
treat their men. The younger officers
show this by chatting the Germans
about it.
Merchant Ranks over Noble.
How the spirit of caste still rules in
he German ranks is instanced by
little anecdote told me by a Dutch
officer. He had come on friendly "cof-
zee" terms with German officer, Won

of those "schneidige lieuten-
