A sense of delicacy restraints us from
revealing the identity Of this super
goat, so for the sake of this article we
shall call him Judas Iscariot, or just
plain Judas for short. Judas does not
fear the butchers knife, for he has an
insolent sense of assurance that death
can only come to him through overeat-
ing. The slaughter pen, instead Of be-
ing source of terror to him, Is a place

SUMMER GARDEN CROPS.

Many varistiss Of Vegetables May BE
Grown In August.
On all little farms there should be an
earnest effort to bring forward full
line of early vegetables, and this can
be supplemented with flowers II the
family's taste runs In that direction.
Almost any garden will give three
crops Of vegetables In a season by
planting the succession according to
expert advice. Where the work Of
growing this kind of produce Is COM
mercial proposition the ground can be
kept In use from spring till fall with
quick growing truck.
The earnings on single acre, If han
died according to this plan, are some
times astonishing. Presenting that the
garden has done good service up to
midsummer, the question comes up as
to what can be. accomplished in the
later months. No matter how much
produce has been taken off In May and
June, there are many commodities that
can be raised In abundance after that.
Lettuce, radishes, beets, peppers, toma-
toes, carrots, etc, can be grown In
July and August quite successfully, If
not as easily as In the earlier months.
Give them plenty Of water and some
cultivation, and the results will be
gratifying. Sweet potatoes and the
late varieties Of Irish potatoes do well
In favorable seasons when planted as
late as the middle Of July. Sugar corn

 'Run-run-run!' I shreked to Miss Mary just the mulatto knocked down ana dashed toward her. But he wasn't countn' somethn He wasn't countin' Peter. This tme she it all the little dog
 The little had come boundin' over when he saw me at grips with the mulatto, and he didn't stop comin when he the brute start after the girl He dived and got in vicious bite right in the calf of the niggers leg.
 The man let out squeak of pain, and kicked and of course Peter sailed off into the darkness But that second gave me all the time needed I jumped like haven't done since I kid and the second was clenched with the mulatto again

THE BUGLEs OF THE MARINE

When all the candles of the sun Are quenched. and the long day is done And gusts about the highways go And twirls the vane shadowy barn, The dim the bugles blow and blow
 The bugles of the Marne The houses standing all so meek, Strain forward sorrOwing cheek to cheek: The folk within them start and cry Like stir of reeds by some vague tarn, The bugles whisper lean and high,
 The bugles of the Marne. There are great ghosts come marching by, France listens with her face to sky; France listens with her head on knees The ghosts of them that fought at Marne! The bugles break with memories,
 The bugles of the Marne Archangel Michael heads the train: Next, Joan, like cloud of windy rain: And next the dead in swaying wall; By old hushed wharf, by croft and barn. The aching bugles fade and fall.

 The Food Supplied to Prisoners
 The food in all these camps for civilians and for private soldiers was about the same. It consisted of an al lowance of bread of the same weight as that given the civilian population. This was given out in the morning with q cup of something called cof- fee. but which in reality was an ex- tract of acorns or something of the kind without milk or sugar; in the middle of the day, bowl of thick soup in which the quantity of meat was gradually diminished as war went on as well as the amount of potatoes. for
 which at later period turnips and carrots were, to a large extent, sub
 stituted; and in the evening, in good camps. there was some sort of thick
 soup given out or an apple, or an al
 most lnflnitesimaf piece of cheese or
 sausage.

 there was a prisoners of war depart

 however and his assistants endeay-
 ored to standardize the treatment of prisoners of war in the different corps
 districts, and were able to exert cer-
 tain amount of pressure on the corps
 commanders. They determined On
 the general reprisals to De taken in connection with prisoners of war Colonel Friedrich's System of ReprisaIs For Instance, when some of the Ger mans who had been taken prisoners by the English, and who were in Eng
 land, were sent by the English to work Tn the harbor of Havre, the Germans retaliated by sending about four times the number of English prisoners to
 work at Libau in the part of Russia
 then occupied by the Germans But while the English permitted our en- bassy in Paris to inspect the prisoners or war at Havre, the Germans for months refused to allow me permis- slon to send any one to inspect those British prisoners at Libau
 Cases came to my attention where individual corps commanders on their own initiative directed punitive meas ures against the prisoners of war in tnelr districts, on account of the ru- mors of the bad treatment of German l citizens in England. Thus the com | mander in the district where the camr
 Of Doeberitz was situated issued ar l order directing reprisals against pris- | oners under this command on account l a n 1ad fn h, kaI I ment of German women in England | It required constant vigilance to seek | out instances of this kind and cause l them to be remedied.

 President Wilson has at least twice declared that we are not at with the German people but witn Prussanism miltarsm and autocracy; that we really want to help the German people All this was friendly and magnanmous and error
 The presidents reteration of friendliness to the German people, his well meant attempt to separate them from their government. in his late reply to the papal peace note, stirred them especially to anger They had regarded his message to congress last April with equanimity; they assumed that the presi dent intended that only for American consumption; that it did especially concern Germany.
 But the reiteraton of it in worldnote indicated to the Germans that the president was in earnest actually suspected them of disoyalty to Ger many that parvenu government harbored the hare braned purpose of reforming Germany.
 One reading the Gerard story quickly perceive the error There is no other begerent nation whose people are so nearly unified Germany There are. of course pacfcists there: there there who are opposed mlitarism. but these elements not nearly troublesome to Germany as are the peace and anti-republican France. the pacifiss and one section of the workingmen of Great Britain or the pacifists w. w and the great reluctant. apathetic element in this country.
 The German people understand that we are fight ing them Prussiansm, militarism and autocracy Germany, and Germans resent, Senator Jones says our purpose to destroy those institutions. This sentiment is found in only class but in all classes All alike hate the enemies of Germany So it is the whole German people that conquer if the war is to be
