In Decernbe
(Springfeld Union.)

The same German prophets who planned for the Kaiser's Christmas dinner in Paris in 1914 and for the capture of Calais the following spring, and various other German triumphs including the taking of Verdun year ago and the starvation of England after four months of unrestricted U-boat warfare. are now predicting that England will be ready by the end of December to confess that she Is whipped. It really seems as If these German prophets are not merely in tent on deluding the people of Ger many with false hopes, but actually delight In fooling themselves.

Markham Answered.
(New Haven UniOn.1

EdWard Markham, the poet, like good many other intellectua1s let the peace at any price propaganda carry him off his feet and some time ago under the unpatriotic title T did not raise my boy to be soldier" wrote this stanZa:
 "Oh mothers. will you longer
 give yohr sons to feed the awful
 hunger of the guns? What Is
 the worth of all these battle
 drums if from the field the loved
 one never comes? What all these
 loud hosannas to the braves if all
 your share is some forgotten
 grace?"
 By this time Markham may be sorry that his pen is responsible for this expression, just as we doubt not Henry Ford and MT. Bryan are sorry for some, of the things they said be- fore the true significance of this struggle was made clear to them However. Dr. James l.. Hughes, su. perintendent of education at Toronto for for,v years and whose son lies buried in Belgium, has replied with a poem that will survive the war Already it is known to thousands where Markham's sentiment is remen1. bered by tens.
 God gave my son in trust to me;
 Christ died for him, and he
 should be
 A man for Christ, He is his own.
 And Gods and mans not mine
 alone,
 He was not mine to 'g1ve.' He
 Himself that he might help to All that a Christian should re- were, All that enlightened men hold dear.
 ITO feed the guns!' An. torpid soul! Awake. and see life as whole, When freedom, honor, justice,
 right Were threatened by the despot's 1 might, | With heart alone and soul alight, l He bravely went for God to fight
 Against base savages whose pride The laws of God and man defied.
 "Forgotten gravel" This selfish | plea Awakes no deep response in me. l For, though ms grave l may not l see, My boy will ne'er forgotten be, ] My real son can never die: l "Tis but his body that may lie 1 In foreign land, and I shall keep Remembrance fond, forever, deep 1 Within my heart of my true son | Because of triumphs that he won, l It matters not where any one
 May lie and sleep when work is ] done
 It matters not where some men live;
 If my dear son his life must give, Hosannas I will sing for him. Fen tho my eyes with tears be | dim, And when the war Is over. when His gallant comrades come again l I'll cheer them as they're march
 ing by, Rejoicing that they did not die, And when his vacant place I see,
 My heart will bound with joy that he Was mine so long my fair young And cheer for him whose work is done.

Red Necktie Almost Spoiled Wedding,
 (TOpeka .CapitaD

MT. and Mrs. Gal Taylor, among the earliest settlers in Saline county, recently celebrated the f1ftieth anni- versary of their marriage. Mr. Fay. Tor said that when he was married Salina was a trading post. The me- dium of exchange. he said, was buff falo robes. MT. Taylor was a buffalo runter and gave fifty buffalo hides for his wedding suit. He almost went back on the deal when the merchant refused to throw in red necktie and wanted to charge him five buffalo hides for it.

But their morale. which seems to be a
military term TO imply soldiers general

Heretofore the soldier has been left to
shift for himself in his idle hours. The

that military men should have devoted
some thought 10 this when we learn
that

asked his groom what he thought Of
the new arrival.
"She's finc-looking animal. sir" re-
piled the man, "but I'm afraid she's
bit touchy."
"Why do you think SOP" questioned
the squire.
"She doesn't seem to take to no
one, sir. She can't bear me to go
into her box to groom her"
"Oh, she'll settle down in a few
days" the squire reassured him. "Ev-
erything's strange to her, you know.
/ don't think there's much wrong with
her temper"

of I'll luck and equivalent To super
natural sign fOrbidding the Girl to
marry the man who gave the ring.
1t Is commonly considered unlucky
for a girl to marry a man whose sur
name begins with the same letter as
her own. The old couplet says:
"change the name but not the letter,
marry for worse and not for better"
The supcrstitious girl does not
watch her sweetheart out Of sight, as
this portcnds chat the meeting will be
the last one.
If n girl has several admirers and
wishes to know which she loves the

Is the fact that it works. People had
