The Widows Mite.

The poor Woman's mite was well
illustrated during the last Feed the
Guns campaign in Londan. The story
is told that while the mayor Of Shore

street holding in his hand a
check for $1,000 pounds, sent to him
by war factory, poor woman gave
him shilling to invest in war bonds.

are welcome to it to feed the guns and
help the boys" The mayor accept

Dogs and the Soldier.

seWe1l take a dog first. If we can't
get a dog we'll take a goat, or cat,
or pig, rabbit, a sheep, or, yes,
even wildcat. Well take anything
for trench companion give us
a dog first"
Lieutenant Ralph Kynoch, of the
Gordon Highlanders, was speaking,
says the London Letter in the New
York Herald. He has been at the
front since the war started and has
seen fighting in all its phases. He
was warm in his praises Of the dog
as mans companion in lonely places.
He merely echoed what every other
soldier thinks.
"People who haven't been at the
front don't know what a little COM
partnership means to a man on patrol
duty or in a dugout, or what a frisky
pup means to whole company. Dogs
were created to be mans companion,
and I'm blessed if I don't think the
dogs know better than we do.
eft doesn't seem to matter what
kind of dog it is. You'll find highly
bred animals at the front and you'll
find dogs that wouldn't be admit
ted to any self-respecting dog show
when it comes to looks. But for 10y
atty and devotion the thorougbreds
don't outclass, the mongrels. They
all seem to have the same spirit. The
dogs know the dangers Of the trenches.
Some Of the mascots have been there
since the war started. They have
seen hundreds of men killed and
other dogs laid out by shell fire.
''The pups know when a barrage is
on where they can find safety, and
they go there, unless the man they
look to as master is going somewhere
else. Trust the dog to stick hard by
no matter whether it is in the danger
zone or not.
"They'll hang around till dooms-
day if they are allowed to do SO. And
when the master is killed the dog
sticks around, and sometimes it is a
long, long time before he picks up with
some one else.
"Take it from one who knows, the
life of a soldier would be far more
lonely if it were not for the dogs. And
other animals are worth having too.
Some Of the boys train birds and
chickens and even rats. The laddie
who's got fine Airedale or Scot
fish terrier is the happiest soldier on
the line, though" Our Dumb Animals.

Our Support Still Needed.

The American army, with the arm
les of the allies, is now on the point OF
beginning an essential part Of the
conduct of the war, the occupation Of
enemy territory pending the arrange
ment of the final terms of peace. This
work is just as necessary to complete
victory as was the fighting itself, but
it is not so inspiring as fighting. Sol
diers engaged in garrison duty are
likely to get bored. History is full OF
instances where armies powerful in
the field have slackened and lost their
efficiency in winter quarters or gar
rison duty. The urge Of emotion which
accompanies the actual shock of con-
lict is no longer there. t,al
Consequently the seven organiza-
tions which are combining in the
united war work campaign will have
quite as much work to do during this
period as while the actual fighting was
going on. It is the functions of these
organizations, religious and secular, to
keep up the soldiers morale. The
work Of making the months which
must be spent in occupation of the
Rhineland full Of comfort for the sol
diers, of bringing our army out at the
end Of this period as fit mentally,
physically, and spiritually as it went
in, has been in great measure intrust-
ed to these bodies. To the veteran who
might relax in this those. task after
the months of fighting, fretful at be-
ing delayed in his re-entry into the
reviving pursuits Of civil life; to the
veteran, deprived Of the thrill Of tax
ing part in the battles which would
light up the wearisome routine Of sol
diering, the work Of these seven bodies
will be Of immense benefit. Civilians

"A Great Host Shall Gomez

"A Great Host Shall Come
In the evacuated region Of France
one heard of woman of education
who, eight months before America de-
elared war, had lost her mind from
too much suffering. It was said
she possessed the gift Of prophecy.
One evening this distraught creature
appeared in our garden where kultur
had cut down trees, uprooted currant
and rose bushes and polluted the
we'll. The woman wandered to and
fro unmolested, as though searching
for something, until she reached an
American soldier who had neither
moved nor spoken. Becoming aware
of his presence, she asked, 1Who are
you?" n,
He saluted and replied, "An Ameri-
can soldier fighting for France"
Perhaps you can help me-" she
said. 81 had four sons. One lies
beneath the SHOWS Of the Vosges; one
rots on the bed Of the sea; one fell
from heaven, know not where, and
one lay here, on my breast, soft and
warm and mine. But strange men
came with spikes on their heads. There
were great noises, raging and cruel
happenings. At last there was vast
noise and blackness. When it passed
I saw my baby lying in pieces. Those
men kicked the pieces and laughed
and then put them in box and took
them away. Can you tell me where
they are?''
Without waiting for reply, the
woman walked on, peering about for
that box which held the baby she had
loved. Again she approached the
soldier, and, as though for the first
time, she said, "Who are you?" and
again he made the same reply. Then
dawning comprehension seemed to
pierce her brain and she touched his
sleeve and CROPPED over the national
insignia Of his rank as she reiterated
the word american" Then she
stepped backward and with appraised
Iarms burst into a sort of biblical
rhapsody: I.
"a great host shall come in num-
bers like the stars Of heaven. The
sea shall bear them. Justice shall be
upon their banners and liberty shall
be their cry Their tread shall shake
the fortresses of the proud. The
great king shall hide his face in fear
and shall seek for safety and find none,
for the curses Of his people shall rise
like flames about him and he shall
walk in the blood of his children. Has
ten the coming Of the mighty host, Q
Lord God! Make clear their way.
Let the shining presence of our glori-
Gus dead be about them, for they
shall bring peace!"
She moved away, searching for her
dead baby. It is to be remembered
that she could have had no knowledge
