BAD BOYS OF THE ARMY.

Internationally was Sergt. Russell
Lewis, of the 48th Infantry (New
York; He ingratiated himself into
the friendship of several in and near
town, and one Of these business
friends, Mr.. Shook, who operates
public service cars, literally ran
after hinl--and got his money,too at
the point of pistol. Mr.. Shook
had made numbers of trips with and
for the army man, but had gotten
no compensation therefor, and he
learned that Sergt. Lewis was on the
way, going toward Anderson. He
put out after his man, overlook him
and demanded his money. Luckily he
was the first Of the two to get out
the shooting irons," and even an
army man doesn't enjoy peeping into
the muzzle Of a A, so he forked over
some fifteen or twenty dollars that
he owed Mr.. Shook, and as the dip
lomats would say, "the incident was
closed"
But there were other incidents in
in town, as the sargeant needed a
little money occasionally. Conse-
quently he applied to the Bank Of
Walhalla to know If telegram had
come from his captain authorizing
the bank to pay to him $3.50. No
telegram had come. Passing strange,
thought the army man-and he pro-
| ceeded to get busy. He went to Sen
eca and promptly filed a telegram to
the Bank Of Walhalla authorizing
the payment Of the $3.50 to Sergt.
Lewis, but he, signed the telegram
as Capt. Arnold. And he was in such
| dire haste to get the money that he
came near beating the telegram back
to Walhalla. The telegram got in a
little ahead Of him, however, and the
money was counted out and was
almost on the point of being paid to
him when the cashier happened to
think OF the old saw about hon
oring strangers checks, and he did
not see great deal Of difference
between strangers checks and stran-
gers kilograms. Anyway, he asked
the khaki-clad stranger to get some
one to identify him-and right then
and there Mr. Army Sergeant fell
| down, 80 to speak. He didn't get
the money, but others got busy, with
the result that the gentleman in
khaki paid visit to the Sheriff g
office and the jail.

were later apprehended and lodged
in Jail. Rochester is an employee,
we understand, in the oil mill at
Seneca, and the money that he car,
ried was somewhat oily and grimy.
Deputy Sheriff Moss found the oily
bills on the person of one Of the
two SWould-beff effhigltwaymen;;a and on
inquiring II that{was not the money
taken from Rochester, he replied that
it was, and requested that it be given
back to him. 81 told those guys" he

little escapade gave their names as
Dave Spangle and Arnold Westley.
Both, according to their statement,
were from the New York troops, the
48th Infantry.

just Plugs.

Rufus rutherford, also Of the
same military organization, accord
ing to his statement, was taken into
custody by the local police of Sem
eca, and was lodged in jail to await
a hearing from the military camp.
There was no charge Of a grave ma
ture to lodge against this man. He
was just loafing about Seneca with
no very definite aim in life.
John Wyly, colored, who also had
on the khaki cloth at one time, was
lodged In jail few days ago. He
had deserted from a military camp
in May, leaving Camp Jackson for
parts unknown and without leave be-
ing. given him, or so much as having
been asked for.
These last two seemed to be "tust
plugs" with no financial aspirations
and but slight fixture Of purpose in
life.
The whole push was forwarded to
Camp Sewer for such melting out of
justice as the military authorities
there may deem best.

Y. M. c. A. AND GERMAN HATE.

German hate is being centered the Y. NJ C. A. and
its work in the camps of the allies for the

have made of flag of truce for gathering the dead

the morale Of the soldier therefore strengthens
the soldier and makes him efficient force for his
country, consequently the M c. A. and its work must
be destroyed.
General Pershing has been quoted saying "a singing
army is victorious army" and the Y. M. C. A. has
brought song and good cheer to the soldiers There

smile, make him feel that home is the
sweetest and most restful place on

NOT MUCH OF A MAN!

He may be as rich as a millionaire,
Or scion Of noble name;
No Sage with his wisdom may COM
pare
lie may shine in the blaze of fame,
lie may be the most marvellous thing
in sight
That our humble eyes can scan.
p. if his heart is not in our fight
lie isn't much of a man!
He may be as square as the day is
long
And just in his every deal,
He may seek the right and eschew
the wrong
And to gods of all ages kneel,
lie may be a saint in his holy ways,
Soul pure since his life began,
But if out of his country's war he
stays,
He isn't much of man!
A man may be true to his child and
his wife
And loyal to all mankind;
He may do no i'll in his whole long life
And .e, to his horror, find
When no patriot ferver floods his
breast
st the threat of foeman's clan,
He lacks in that which, of all, is best,
Scr he isn't much of man!

Let us not wall for chances for do
ing good to come to us, but to go out
to meet them. Too many beautiful
opportunities escape us otherwise. AS
charity begins at home, so should
love. We don't care much for the
charity or love that would leave it's
dearest to want for duty or affection
and 60 out into the world to work.
We find it delightful plan to make
each one of our homefolks happy
about some one thing each day of our
life-plan little surprises for their de-
light, do little deeds for them, bright
en- dull hour, or congratulate them
upon some achievement of their own.
If you wish your children to be re-
specteful to you, then you should be
respectful to them. The boys and
girls who are spoken to in harsh,
rough tone of voice naturally fall into
the habit of responding in the same
way.
If the mother is in the habit, in her
common conversation, of coloring
facts, of exaggerating what she hears
and relates, can she expect her child
rem to grow up with love and rever-
ence for the truth?
The virtues grow about the home.
They cluster, bloom and shed their
perfume around the fireside. Love,
husband, wife, father, mother, child
and without those words the
world would be barren wilderness,
and men and women but british
beasts.
When man in search of home or
business location goes to town and
finds everybody full of hope and en-
thusiasm over the prospects of the
place he, too, soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, drives down his
stakes and goes to work with equal
interest.
A great helper Of gladness is hap
py home. Many Of us would never be
able, day after day, to face life with
its struggles, its duties, its antago-
nisms, were it not for the renewal Of
strength, which we get in our home.
