FATE PURSUED THIS TOMMY
Nearly Spent Bullet Goes Through
Hole Made In His Helmet by
German Sniper.

James Dickinson, convalescent
Canadian soldier, In letter to a
friend. tells this story Of the great
war:
During a lull In the battle Of the
Marine one of the Canadian troopers
took off his steel helmet, and, placing
It on the end of his rifle, held 1t so
that about half Of 1t protruded above
the top Of the trench. A German
sniper, observing 1t, at once shot at 1t,
and the ball, striking it squarely,
pierced the steel, going out the other
side. The Tommy" laughingly showed
1t to his comrades and placed 1t back
on his head.
Fifteen minutes later the order came
TO Ego over the top" and this same
Tommy" was among the first. He was
also among the first to fall, MORALLY
wounded.
It was discovered at the dressing
station that he had been struck by a
nearly spent bullet that had gone
through one of the holes that he had
so recently shown his fellow soldiers

WAR AND FREAKIsH WEATHER
Early Heavy Shows and Other Unsea.
sonabIe Conditions Blamed by
Some on Great Conflict.

Six inches OF snow in Maine before
the middle Of October, "the earliest
measurable snowfall In 4S years." and
raging snowstorms In northern Ohio

may scoff, but popular delusion will
persist regardless. And certain win
ter lolllng in the Up OF autumn, with
summer just gone and Indian summer
not yet due is something to confound
the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
II IS conceivable that the drum fire
of innumerable cannon might directly
affect meteorological conditions on the
western battle front, and from all &c
counts the weather there has been I'M
seasonable enough since the war be-
gan. Winters cold and summers heat
have both been intense, and slaet and
ralnstorms have interfered with mil
itary operations. What relation those
conditions bear to early SHOWS in tho
Maine woods 1900 miles away, 10 not
apparent.
But at least something has been
wrong with our own weather as far
back as the battle of the Marne, and
II the war Is not to blame, the credu-
lous may ask the weather sharps to
say what 1t Is. Not within a similar
three-year period In n generation has
there been such an allotment of cold
and wet springs, humid summers and
windy falls AS there are no sunspots
or comets or 17-year locusts to ac-
count for II, why not blame the war
and give substance to the old popular
tradition regarding the effect on the
weather of prolonged artillery fref

Use of Language.

The use of language is not limited
to the mere communication Of ideas.
An equally important function Is that
Of the instrumentality of thought. IT
Is not merely its vehicle, but its means
Of expansion. Hardly any Of our in

on without the agency of words. Lam
guage is, then, not only the offspring
of thought-but It's spouse as well. In
