Children Of the Crusade
By JEANNE JUDsoN.

Frightened and pitiful, they walk apart,
Through the familiar village street, grown strange
Hand clasped in hand, they hear weird echoes start
From ruined homes Fear dumbs each small child heart
No tears rain down like dew to ease their woe;
Horror has dried the wells from which they spran4s
Like wee crusaders of the long ago,
Their phantom banners in the breezes blow.
II one should call out "Foow!" they would run,
Crime of the highway on their tiny feet
Needless alike of dust and blazing sun,
Forget as dreams, the horrors that were done.
None calls; weary they rest within the shade,
The ruined church. where they learned to pray,
Long years before the war had come and laid
Their homes in ruins, made their hearts afraid.
Before the Holy Mother low they bow,
Perhaps she hears and soon will bring them aid,
It must be she whose voice is calling now,
For see the Is shining on her browl
The light around her head nimbus geams
Red Cross worker, not from Heaven, they know,
Yet Mary heard and sent her here it seems,
To lead them home to shelter and to dreams.

Flu Lid On Again.

After apparently having the flu
situation in Leon well in hand and
permitting the schools, lodges and
churches to open, it has again pc
come necessary to clamp on the lid,
a special meeting of the city council
being held Saturday night at which
the order was made to close all pub
lie gatherings, schools and churches,
Indefinitely and no services were
held at any of the churches on sun
day.
a new start not only in Leon, put IN
the rural communities of the county,
and the same condition exists all ov-
er the state. Tuesday morning 80
new cases we're reported to Mayor
Gardner and Wednesday morning 40
additional cases were reported to the
mayor, and doubtless many cases eX-
list where a doctor has not been Gait
ed But one thing sure, 1t Will nave
to run out before long, for at the
present rate it will not be many days
until every person in Leon mas naa
the flu, However there are no serl-
Gus cases reported in any or the
cases reported in Leon
1t has been reported the Leon
schools had been closed until Janu-
airy 1st, but this is incorrect. There
has been no time fixed, and the
schools will open just as soon as
conditions will warrant.

be absent from the country Tor at

precede it, have not Leen revealed:
He undoubtedly will be accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson and it is expected
here that besides visiting Paris
where the peace congress probably
will be held, he will go to London
and possibly to Brussels and Rome.
Mr.. Wilson is expected to receive
abroad a reception such as has been
accorded but few men in public life.
He will be welcomed not only as the
president of the United States ana
the commander in chief of it's armies
and navy, but also as the champion
of world democracy.
In visiting Europe the president
will establish two precedents;,. he
will be the first chief executive or
the United States to participate IN

issues growing out of war in which
the country participated and like
wise he will be the first president TO

swung onto the platform. Not car
ing to use his gun Sheriff Tillotson
hung onto one of them as long as
he could but he was obliged to let
loose on account Of the danger OF
being thrown beneath the car. Up
on being signaled by the officer the
conductor stopped the train. 1t was
then the race began. One of the
men was finally caught in Harry
Wadsworth's chicken house about a

merry chase in which, several men
assisted the sheriff. The strangers
