Eoch Keen Student Of War.

General Foch, like General Joffre,
is home lover and avoids society,
He is said to live in a small fiat near
his office, when not at the front, and
to be devoted to his family. The con-
ventions Of society bore him. Like the
proverbial Englishman, he is fond of
taking long walks, and never knows
when he is beaten. His saying that
'.the battle is never lost until it's loss
is admitted" is famous and indicates
not only his military wisdom. but his
sane and courageous PHILOSOPHY. Al
ready a master of strategy before the
war, he has not been slow to learn the
new lessons of the present conflict ;
rather, indeed, has he developed added
initiative, decision and military audac'
ity.

Gas Well Finally scTamed."

Out in the sagebrush-covered wastes
Of eastern Washington there has just
been tanned big gas well, and devel-
opment work on the property is now
under way. The flow of gas was dis
covered three years ago, when mis-
guided settler drilled for water and
had d four-inch pipe blown out Of the
ground. A year later a passerby threw
a lighted match into the gas and for
is months the well burned day and
night, a beacon visible for miles
around. A few months ago the old
well was capped, the gas used to pro
vide fuel for a modern drilling engine,
and an 1S-inch pipe has just been sunk
into the gas reservoir.

war strain causes NERVE snock.

The term shell shock has misled
many persons to believe that 1t is due
to the profound Impression or shock
produced on the nervous system by
the detonatlons of high explosives.
No doubt, there are cases of actual
brain or nerve injury due to concus-
sion of the air accompanying shell ex-
plosions, but these mechanical causes
are a great deal less frequently re-
sponsible for war neurOses than the
mental effects of general war strain.
1t Is remarkable that these war neu-
roses, common as they are among pri-
Yates and officers alike, are seldom
found in men who have been actually
wounded. Perhaps this seeming anom-
ally is due to the actual wound shock
offsetting the mental impression af-
fecting the controlling nerve-center in
such cases.--Popular Science Monthly.

Sometimes he chewed jerked venison
from the bag over his head, but not very
often; the salt in the meat made him
drink too much. On the whole, his
diet was healthful and in a measure
satisfying. He did mo- suffer from the
want of any real necessity, at any rate.
He had his few books within reach.
He read a good deal to keep from think
ing too much, and be tried to meet the
days with philosophic calm. He might
easily be a great deal worse off than
he was, he frequently reminded him.

But he was lonesome-so lonesome
that there were times when life looked
absolutely worthless; when the blue dew
lis made him their plaything and he
saw Billy Louise looking s~cornfully
upon him and loving some other man
better: when he saw bis name black
ened by the suspicion that he was a
r..stler-preying upon his neighbors'
cattle; when be saw Buck Olney laugh
ing in derision of his mercy and fixing
fresh evidence against him to confound
him utterly.
He had all those moods, and they left
their own lines upon his face. But he
had one thing to hearten him, and that
was the steady progress of his broken
leg toward recovery. A long, tedious
process it was of necessity, but as
nearly as he could judge the bone was
knitting together and would be straight
and strong again if he did not try to
hurry ii too much. He tried to keep
count of the weeks as they passed.
When the days slid behind him until
he feared he could not remember be cut
a little notch on the window sill each
morning with Bucks knife, with every
seventh day a longer and deeper notch
than the others to mark the weeks. The
first three days had been so hazy that
he thought them only two and marked
them so, but that put him only n day
out of his reckoning.
He lay there and saw snow slither
past his window, driven by a w%hooping
wind. 1t worried him to know that his
calves were unsheltered and unfed
while his long stack of hay stood un-
touched-unless the cattle broke down
his fence and reached it. He hoped
they would, but he was a thorough
workman, and in his heart he knew
that fence would stand.
He saw cold rains and sleet. Then
there were days when he shivered I'M
der his blankets and would have given
much for a cup of hot coffee; days
when the water froze in the pals be-
side the bed-what little water was
left-and he Clipped off pieces of ice
and sucked them to quench his thirst.
Days when the tomatoes and peaches
were frozen in the cans so that he
chewed jerked venison and ate crackers
rather than chill his stomach with the
icy stuff.
Day by day the little notches and the
longer ones reached farther and farther
along the window sill until Ward be-
gan to foresee the time when he must
start a new row. Day by day his
cheek bones grew more clearly defined,
his eyes bigger and more wistful. Day
by day his knuckles stood up sharper
when he closed his hands, and day by
day nature worked upon his hurt, knit
ting the bones together.

Fortune Kicks Aqain.


TT was past noon when Ward rode
down the steep slope to the creek
bank just above his cabin. He was
sunk deep in that mental depression
which so often follows close upon the
heels of a great outburst of passion
Mechanically he twitched the reins and
sent Rather down the last shelf of bank
and he did not look up to see just
where he was. Rather was a well train
ed horse, since he was Wards. He
obeyed the rein signal and stepped off a
two foot bank into a nest of loose piled
rocks that slid treacherously under his
feet. Sure footed, though he was, he
stumbled and fell, ana it was sheer in
stinct that took Wards feet from the
stirrups IN time.
Ward sprawled among the rocks,
dazed. The shock ox the fail took him
out of his fit of abstraction and he
pulled away from RATHER as the horse
scrambled up and stood shaking before
Tim. lie tried to scramble up also.
Ward sat and stared stupidity at his
left leg where. midway Between his knee
and his foot. it turned out at an unnat-
ural angle. He thought %resentfully that
he had had enough trouble for once
without having a broken leg on top OF
il all.
"Now this is one deuce Of a ix!' he
stated dispassionately, when pain had
in a mtasure cooled his first anger. He
looked around him like a man who is
taking stock of his resources. He was
not Ear from the cabin. He could get
there by crawling. But what then?
Ward looked at Rather, standing do
cilely within reach of his hand. He
considered getting on-if he could, and
ridin -well. the nearest place was hf-
teen miles. And that was a good, long
way from a doctor. He glanced again
M The cabin and tried to study the sit
uatlon impersouany. If it were some
other fellow. now, what would Ward
advise him TO do under the circpm-
stances?
He reached down and felt his leg
ncerly. SO far as he could tell 1t was
