Sgt. John Leslie Heiden, France
The letter appearing below has been
recently received by Gus Heiden OF
T this city from his son, Leslie, from
whom the family had not heard for
some time. Leslie writes that he
was in the front line trenches for
some time but that his company escap.
ed without the loss of a single man,
although some were wounded His
parents are greatly relieved at receiv-
ing the letter and we are pleased to
publish It for his many friends to
read.
Nov. "a, 1918
Dear Father:
AS this is fathers day decided to
spend some of the afternoon in writ
ing to you. received Marie's letter
yesterday, also mothers card. just
finished writing to Fred and am go
ing to write to Spencer after writing
this. suppose the folks at home have
had some great celebrations over the
peace problem, but wait until we boys
get home then we will have real
celebration. see by the paper today
that the first boat load of soldiers left
Liverpool for home Saturday, Novem-
Der 23d. Don't know when we will
get home but the time will soon come
and we will all be back home again.
l suppose you wonder IL we have
been at the front yet. Yes, was
there but. did not mention it In my
letters as 1 knew 1t would only cause
worry to you folks. Our company was
very lucky as we, didn't lose a man,
only afew received ;shrapnel wounds.
We were supposed to have been at a
quiet sector but the second night that
we were in the trenches we were I'M
der just as heavy shell fire as they
have ON those active fronts, the only
difference being that il did not last
as long. Anyway we all found out
what it was like. After we had been
back to a rest camp for a few days
we started to move toward the west
arn front up around Metz. We did
not get in on the last big drive that
The Yanks made, but our division was
scheduled to be the first to have gone
over the top, followed by ~ other di-
visions, but the signing of the armis-
lice held us back. The companies
that were up there lost heavily, nn-
ierstand.
We are now stationed at a small |
village but expect to move to a bet
.er place in southern France in a few
lays. I don't remember whether |
rave mentioned anything about our
living conditions in my letters before
tut will try and give you an idea
low. Over here in France the people
i've upstairs and have their stock
downstairs. We have been stationed
n all sorts of barns and old shot
Town houses. More than once we
rave walked over 10 miles in night

RICH ARE BECOMING POOR
Bishop Lawrence Says Wealthy Are
Setting Expenses Too Near
Limit of income.

Bishop William Lawrence in telling
of his work in raising a S5,O00,000 pen
sion fund for the Episcopal clergy,
said during a sermon at Trinity church
that, besides q lesson for a more highly
organized church, he had found that
people with incomes of from $4,000
To 100000, says a Boston dispatch TO
the Philadelphia Record, are now poor
or on the way to poverty.
There is a great tendency" he
stated, "for people to make their fixed
charges so high, with houses and eX-
penditures of all sorts, to set pace so
near their income that when they reach
forty-five or fifty years of age they are
really poor people. Many with incomes
of from $4,000 to 100000 are today
poor or on the way to poverty because
of these high fixed charges. They will
feel poorer than the mechanic who
has set his pace at only so per cent of
his income"
Bishop Lawrence deplored ten
dency of parents of wealth in limiting
the responsibility they allow their chill
dren in handling money.
eff children were brought up" he
said, with allowances so as to be able
to give and save and expend proper
tionately, then they would better I'M
derstand the use of money later on"

"HE GOT OFF MIGHTY LIGHT"
This Was Opinion of Frightened
coIored Man Regarding Culprlt
Just Strung Up by Mob.

Representative Thomas Helm of
Alabama is noted as the best story
teller of negro dialect in the house.
He told the story to friends in the
New Willard hotel.
"When l was n young practlcing
lawyer in Alabama 1 had a lot to do
with colored men, many of whom were
my clients. One time a colored man
in my district committed a crime, and
the community took it upon itself to
punish the offender. There was only
one punishment fitting the crime-that
was hanging. The guilty man was
taken out in the early morning and
hanged to tree. Their job complet-
ed, the executiOners started home.
They had proceeded only short dis
lance from the place where the body
dangled when they met an old colored
fellow astride a mule, with sack of
oats swung over his shoulders. The
black man saw the crowd approaching
and he turned ashen, for instinctively
he knew what they had been about.
The leader of the gang rode up, and
in gruff voice declared:
"'You know us and we know you. If
you say anything about this affair, the
same fate awaits you
"'Deed, boss, 1 amt gwine T. say
nothin'. / thinks he got Off mighty
light, m'se'f.'"

Thousands of dollars worth of Ori-

The crystal room Of Nan emily
Stevens) contains a mystic throne
which faces the entrance A flood of

containers with burning incense stand

NO MIDDLE CLASS IN CHINA
Display of Only Most Expensive and
Cheapest Merchandise in Stores
Proves the Fact.

An obServant traveller in China viii
not fail to notice when purchasing ar
ticles of daily necessity, that there are
only two classes of artieles-the most
expensive and elaborate and the cheap
est and crudest. This is but a proof
of the absence of a middle class, says
East and West News.
A fox fur gown worth q thousand
dollars or giant herb valued at
hundred dollars is not at all uncom-
mon in China, but practical and Well
made articles that would be wei
coined by middle-class men are hardly
obtainable. Those who admire Chi
nese handicrafts as achievements be-
vond the power OF Japanese artisans
do so because they have only seen ar
ticles intended for upper-class custom
erS willing to spend countless dollars
upon luxurieS. Those, on the other
hand. who declare Chinese artisans
hopelessly crude, are men who have
seen only the cheap articles intended
for the masses.
Japanese who judge the ancient arts
and industries of China by the best
productions of the Han, Tang, Sung.
Yuan, Ming and Ching dynastles that
have been preserved here, forget that
crude articles of common use have
never crossed the sea of Japan and
that only articles of the best kind
came here as merchandise during the
many centuries of commercial inter-
course between the two countries.
