Maunetism In the WiIds

Fish stories are supposed to. be
unique as stretchers of the magma
tion, but none beats the story told by
O member of the British commission
to the United States.
1t seems that one of his acquaint-
ances-a traveller of some note-had
sold farm to an Irishman, and the
latter was complaining because there
were no birds about the place.
''Set some trops," suggested the for
mer owner, 'and they will come"
"Shure an will they come thin?"

there's one thing you can change, and
that's the fodder. Hens won't object

OLD VETERAN IN NEW ARMY
Seventy Two-Year-old Man is Now
Somewhere in France Serving
Uncle Sam as Cook

Age seems to be no barrier for serv-
Ice In the army.
For instance, says the Indianapolis
News, there Is Charley June. All the
old7.imers remember June, who years
ago supplied the fish and game for
hundreds of Indianapolis tables. His
place OF business was opposite the
traction terminal station, and 1t was
his boast that he could furnish any
thing that could fly or swim.
June is veteran of the Civil war
and when war with Germany was de-
clared his old fighting spirit was re-
yiVed. Because of his age, seventy
two years, he did not feel qualified to
shoulder musket and go forth to
Stay, yet he wished to do his bit for
Uncle Sam, so he went out to Fort
Harrison as a cook.
He served during the first officers
training camp and made good with a
vengeance, Then an entirely unexpect-
ed honor was thrust upon him. He
was invited to go to France and cook
for the boys In the trenches. The
proposition nearly took his breath,
but 1t did not take him long to make
up his mind.
During the Civil War | carried a
gun and fought with the boys" said
Mr.. June, "and why shouldn't cook
for them now? realize 1t is no Sun
day picnic over there, but | do not
fear the outcome. 1 am healthy and
strong for man Of my years, and
guess I can stand Il. At any rate,
am willing to take a chance fer old
Glory"
Mr.. June is now Somewhere in
France"

Wise, Va.-Mrs. J. M. Elan, of this
place, IN writing Of her female
troubles, says: "This trouble went on
for IA years, often / was unable to

Really In bad health all the time dur
ing those IA years, and was never
without pain, with awful backaching,

provement had begun. My, back got
stronger and less painful. I got less
nervous and my appetite began to i'm
prove. In few weeks my improve
ment was noticeable, and l got into
better health than I had had for IA
years. !. :. My walking before had been

boot has a medium heel yet the shoe
is so gracefully arched that it is un-

wing tip defined by perforations
gives distinction to this model, and
a splendid quality of buckskin, with
that excellent ivory-white tone, is
used. This boot sells for just $500.
