The Boon of a Short Memory

A Canadian corporal writes that the
condition of the 'roads" often appears
q perfect pandemonium until one gets
used to it. One of the strains that
counts in this war is on coming out Of
the trenches to go to rest billet. Up
in the line a man is keyed up to stand
a bombardment, and there is q fierce
joy in getting to close quarters with
bayonet. But when the relief is over,
and the regiment is on its way for
four or five miles to rest billets, the
stimulus is lacking, the pack seems
doubly heavy, and the road is very
hard to feet softened by three or four
days of wearing gumboots in the mud
of the trenches. In "a hours, with a
bath, shave, and clean kit, there will
be different men; for memory is mer-
cifully short in this war, and the COM
forts or discomforts of the moment are
the things that count.

How They Shoot In China.

Details of the battle in Peking be-
tween Chang Hsun's ill-starred forces
and the besieging republican troops
indicate that the hostilities were more
exciting than dangerous, remarks the
Salt Lake Herald-Republican
The dictator was surrounded by
about 1000 of his followers when he
sought refuge in the Forbidden City,
and the attacking party numbered at
least five times as many.
Chinese soldiers have never been
noted for expert skill in handling fire
arms, as substantiated by the authen-
tic report that considering the enor-
nous quantity of ammunition used and
the number of troops engaged" the
casualties were remarkably small, only
ten killed and thirty wounded among
combatants and three times the num-
Der of killed and wounded among Gin
nocent bystanders."
For obvious reasons Uncle Sam was
simply giving the Chinese sound and
friendly advice when he told them to
keep out of the way and harmonize
their internal differences.

FRIEND OF THE FIRE HORSE
In Detroit Animals Showed Affection
for the Man Who Cared for Them
For Many Years.

For 27 years Martin Cooney has
been superintendent of horses for the
fire department of Detroit, Mich, says
vhe News Of that city. He has bought
every horse used by the department
in that time; he has tended them
through sickness and has been obliged
to end the agonies of many of them.
So great has been his love for horses
that he has never taken a furlough,
or even kept his Sundays for himself.
Night and day he has watched over
the horses.
In winter, when the horses. steam
ing from their swift run to the fires,
have stood and shivered us the blaze
was fought, it was Martin Cooney who
hurried to the scene, and saw that they
were blanketed. Back in their barns,
it was Martin Cooney who saw that
they were rubbed down and made
warm and comfortable. When their
feet were sore it was Martin Cooney
who dressed them, and when the
strenuous life of fire department horses
made them unfit for such serv-
ice, Martin Cooney saw oft that they
were sold to farmers and not to city
drivers, who might abuse them.
But the endless tolls of days and
nights has taken toll of Mr.. Cooney,
and recently he retired from active
service. And because he has been a
friend to horses he is glad that auto
mobiles are replacing them for fire
service in downtown Detroit.
Pounding over hard, slippery
downtown streets shortened the lives
Of the horses" Mr.. Cooney explained.
"When we used them all over the city,
the average life of a horse in the de-
partment was four or five years now
that they are confined to the envir-
ons their average is five or six
years. Of course some last much
longer. There was one that lasted
thirteen years, and is now comfortable
on farm near Detroit.
"When I Joined the fire department
we had about $50 horses. At one time
we had 234 horses; that was the high
water mark. Now we have about $50
more than we had twenty-seven years
ago, despite the great number of fire
trucks. That is because Detroit's out
lying districts are more populous now
than the entire city was then.
1.-THE horses knew me when I came
into any of the stations. They woult
whinny and crane their necks. broke
them in and they never forgot me.
"The thing which makes me happies
is that all old horses are sent to farms
where there are no hard roads to irri
tate their weakened feet. A horse il
too intelligent and too good a friend t.
be abused after it's full period Of use
fulness is passed"

DYNAMITE pamaaes House.
