COAL GAS ALMOST FATAL
Mrs. c. G. Spaulding and Daughter
Have Trying Experience.

mrS. y. u. Spauio1ng and daughter
Have Trying Experience.
On Wednesday morning Mrs. c. G.
Spaulding and her daughter, Lucia,
passed through an experience which
they would not care to repeat and
one that but for timely assistance
would probably have proved very
serious for them, says The Maple
ton enterprise.
Early in the morning Miss Lucia,
who is employed in The Enterprise
office, arose and started to the kit
chen to start the fire in the kitchen
stove. What happened next can only
be surmiSed, but it is supposed
that she opened the kitchen door and
found the room full of gas and that
she started back to the living room.
She did call her mother. who immed
lately came to her assistance, but
was also overcome with gas, but
managed to open the stair door and
call her brother, who happened to be
visiting there at the time and was
sleeping upstairs.
Mr. Berry heard the call for as
sistance and hurried downstairs to
find both women unconscious on the
floor before the stove in the living
room He Immediately opened the
doors and te1ephoned for physician,
but before the doctor arrived the
ladies had regaineG consciousness
somewhat and Miss Lucia had insist
ed upon being out of doors in the
open air. She, however, became sick
to the stomach and caused consider
able alarm by vomiting up large
quantity Of blood In her fall. when
first overcome by the gas, she injured
her nose, which bled quite profusely
and the doctor decided she had
swallowed some of the blood and the
stomach was simply ejecting it.
The women were put to bed and
while they suffered considerably
from the effects of the gas, are much
better today.
Mr.. Spaulding, who was also sleep
ing downstairs, was awakened by his
wife's calling to her brother and
heard his daughter when she fell, but
did not realize any danger nor much
discomfort from the gas. His son,
Ned complained of headache, but
was able to be up town during the
forenoon
The gas came from the kitchen
stove, which was found to be shut
up tight and in the usual manner,
but had the door between that room
and the other part of the house been
open the result might have been
much more serious

MORE WAR CAMP POEMS

Owing to the crowded condition of
the columns of The Banner yesterday
only part of the training camp poe
try, which has been brought or sent
to this Office by Bennington boys In
Khaki could be published. The first
of the following poems was written
by a local soldier boy now at Camp
Kelley, Texas, while the others have
been printed before, but are in circu-
lation at the various war camps:
Lonesomeness.
You may leave behind your home,
Your sweetheart and mother, the one
you love best,
You may leave your place to another,
But you never leave lonesomeness.
1t isn't so bad in the day time,
But when night comes with shadows
deep,
You lie in your cot and tumble
With never thought of sleep
You only think OF the past
Down deep in your heart you harbor
A feeling OF lonesomeness.
Your mind wanders back to your
childhood,
When you sat ON grandfather's knee,
And listened in childish wonder
How Washington made us free
Not once did you think while you
listened
To the tales of the war he would tell,
That someday you would be fighting
To suppress the Kaiser's hell
And now as We lie in camp waiting,
Waiting to be put to the test,
Into our hearts comes stealing
A feeling of lonesomeness.
You think of your sweetheart
Who promised so true,
That she would be waiting
When the war was through.
A mile is between, day gone past,
You receive a letter from her at last
You've been watching and waiting,
and trying your best,
To rid yourself OF that camp lone
someness.
But alas, when you read the few lines
she wrote,
A great big lump comes up in your
throat.
She says, she thinks best that you
part,
And you go to France with broken
heart.
She doesn't once think that you are
fighting for her,
While your place is filed by some
Stacker cur
A Stacker, a Coward. who won't turn
hand,
To fight in this war for his own ma
tive land;
Who steals from you, the one treas
ure you own,
Your sweetheart, whose love was on
ly jest,
Now your heart is filled with camp
lonesomeness.
You may leave behind your home
and mother,
You sweetheart the one you love
best;
You may leave your place to another.
But You never leave lonesomeness.

1t is rather comforting to find that
the news of the sinking of an Ameri-

as received. One OF the stupidest
things England did during the early
part of the war was to try to deceive

sustained. From some symptoms de.
veloped at Washington it was quite
generally feared that the United
