The Verdict.
(Short Story.)

1t had been a long, hot. wet trial.
Turnout the sitting days in the damned
and palpitating court room the jury had
sat and suffered.
Now the jurymen were about to return
verdict.
One by one they filed into the jury box
and took their seats.
Gentlemen of the jury" said the judge,
'have you reached a verdict?"
I'VE sure have" replied the foreman,
emphatically.
"Slip it to u.s. commanded the judge.
The foreman arose and read as follows
1--WE. the jury. having sat here all these
weeks because we were compelled by law
to sit here. have decided that all those in
this court room who have sat here all these
weeks in spite of the fact that they were
not compelled by law to sit here are
crazy"

Druggists in Muncie, Ind, have been re-

paregoric. This is due to the fact that
various grownup citizens of that metropolis,
having been deprived of their red likker
by Old John Law, put over a masterpiece
of strategy on the said John Law by pur-
chasing paregoric, which contains more
alcoholic horsepower than redeye and is
easier to take. Besides, 1t Is more econom-

TWO DISPATCHES SIDE BY SIDE

On the bulletin boards of one of the
Baltimore daily papers there appeared
ON Wednesday last two dispatches.
One was from Holland. 1t read:
THE Kaiser is at all times cheer
full"
On the adjoining bulletin board, side
by side with the other, was the fol-
lowing statement from Berlin:
1.-The casualties in the German
Army up to October 81 were $500, 900"
And yet 1.-The Kaiser was at all times
cheerful"
We imagine that Satan himself is as
cheerful as it is possible for a Satanic
fiend to be. He'll doubtlessly rings
with this cheerfulness at every new
atrocity committed by Germany, and
so, even amid the Internal regions of
endless torture, there is a certain form

million casualties of German soldiers
and about twice as many of the SOL
diers of the Allies and of Russia.
The greatest murderer since the
world began, the greatest criminal ma
ton ever known to mankind, glories in
its atrocities.
Germany, so far as the people of this
country can learnt who has any more
right to be cheerful than the Kaiser

same, all guilty of the same crimes,

upholding those guilty of these crimes.
The cry of dishonored womanhood, of
wRiling babies, the agony of the sol
ders on the battlefield, should: as long
as single German criminal man or
woman lives, ring forever in their
ears. Never should German who has
been responsible for unfolding this
war have one hour of peace, but by
day and by night the waling of the
dying babies, the horror of dishonor-
ed womanhood, should haunt them, for
there is no other way in which they
can be adequately punished on this
earth for their crimes. Unto Al
mighty God their future beyond thi-
world must be left. So long as they
live on this earth they should be made
to realize the fearful, fearful crimes
which they have committed.

COLORFD TROOPS
made A RECORD
FOR THEMSELVES
Commander Of Famous Buffalo Regl-
ment Compliments His Troops.

Prof. w. H. Humphrey hands in the
following compliment to the colored
troops of the United States written by
Col. James A. Moss, Commander of
the famous seth Infantry (colored).
1t appears as an introduction to a re-
cent magazine article on "The Buff
faloes":
Having been born and reared in the
State of Louisiana, whose confines I
did not leave until / went to West
Point at the age of eighteen, and hav-
ing served eighteen years with colored
troops, including two campaigns, what
l say about the colored man as SOL
der is therefore based on many
years experience with him in civil
life and in the Army-in peace and in
war, in garrison and in the field.
If properly trained and instructed,
the colored man makes as good a sol
der as the world has even seen. The
history of the Negro in all of our wars,
including our Indian campaigns,
shows this. He is by nature of hap
ply disposition; he is responsive and
trasctable; he is very amenable to dis
cipline; he takes pride in his uniform;
he has faith and confidence in his
leader; he possesses physical cour-
age-all of which are valuable mill
tary assets.
The secret of making an efficient
soldier out of the colored man lies in
knowing the qualities he possesses
that are military assets, and which
have named, and then appealing to
and developing them-that is, utilizing
them to the greatest extent possible.
Make the colored man feel that you
have faith in him, and then, by SYM
pathetic and conscientious training
and instruction, help him to fit himself
in a military way to indicate that
faith, to make good" Be strict with
him, but treat him fairly and justly,
making him realize that in your deal
| ings with him he will always be given
square deal. Commend him when
he does well and punish him when he
is refractory-that is to say, let him
know that he will always get what is
coming to him, whether it be reward
or whether it be punishment. In 9TH
err words, treat and handle the colored
man as you would any other human
being out of whom you would make
a good soldier, out of whom you would
get the best there is in him, and you
will have as good soldier as history
has ever known-a man who will drill
we'll shoot we'll. march we'll, obey
well, fight well-in short, man who
will give a good account of himself in
battle, and who will conduct and be-
have himself properly in camp, in gar
rison, and in other places.
l commanded colored troops in the
Cuban CamDaien and in the Philippine
campaign, and l have had some OF
them killed and wounded by my very
side. At no time did they ever falteI
at the command to advance nor hest
tate at the order to charge.
! l am glad that | am to command
colored soldiers in this, my third cam
paign-the greatest war the world has
ever known.

Every nationality which partici-

will be represented in the United
States and Allied Governments War
Exposition to be held at Music Hall,
Cincinnati, from December IA to %.
The officials of the various nations
which have been opposing the central
powers have been assembling for the
past four years thousands of histori-
cal trophies and relics captured by
them or made sacred by the associa-
lions of these materials and objects in
connection with the mighty struggle;
for instance there have been gathered
together for exhibition purposes a
large number of relics from the
churches, public buildings and other
institutions ruined and devastated by
the Germans. These objects of art,
religion and municipal record show
the evidences of the ruthlessness of
the Huns and convey more forcibly
than words the graphic argument for
the suppression of the power which
makes such conduct possible.
Among the battlefield trophies will
be found every form of equipment
known to the contesting armies from
the smallest form of ammunition to
the largest class of field artillery. Ev-
erything will be shown that had a
bearing on the great struggle, includ-
ing cannon intact and cannon partial
iy destroyed, either by shell fire or by
their original operators to prevent
them falling into the hands OF the AL

auctions of the various camp institu-
lions also will be shown. These will
include Y. NJ. C. A. Huts, Knights o.:
Columbus rest stations, Salvation
Army kitchens and dining rooms, Y.

tions, Red Cross hospitals, trench dug
outs and the many other habitations
and recreation buildings which have
figured so largely in giving comfort to
the soldiers of the Allies ana sustain
ing their high morale.
New features are continually being
added to the list of entertainments to
be given in Music Hall proper. The
arrangement of the programs calls for
practically continuous performances
of music, pictures, addresses, tab
leaux, pageants and other features
from the time of the opening of the
Exposition at 1920 a. m. until the
close at night
