Good Reading for Sunday
The CHAPLAIN

He was just a small church parson
when the val broke out, and he
Looked and dressed and acted like
all parsons that we see.
He wore the ~eleric's broadcloth and
he hooked his vest behind.
Bui he had a mans religion and he
had a strong mans mind.
And he heard the call to duty. ana
he quit his church and went,
And he brayely tramped right with
EN- everywhere the boys we're sent.
lie put aside his broadeloth and he
put the Khaki on;
Said he'd come to be a soldier and
was going to live like one.
Then he refereed the prize fights
that the boys pulled off at night,
And If no n else was handy he'd
put on the gloves and fight.
lie wasn't there a fortnight ere he
saw the soldiers needs,
And he said: I'm done with preach
ing:this is now the time for deeds"
He learned the sound of shrapnel, he
could tell the size of shell
From the shrek 1t make above him,
and he knew just where 1t fell.
In the front line trench he labored,
and he knew the feel of mud.
And he didn't run from danger and
he wasn't scared of blood.
He wrote letters for the wounded and
he cheered them on with jokes.
And he made a visit without
passing around the smokes.
Then one day a bullet got him. as he
knelt beside a lad
Who was going west" right speedy.
and they both seemed mighty glad,
Cause he held the boys hand tighter
and he smiled and whispered low,
Now you needn't fear the journey;
over there with you TIL CO."
And they both passed out together,
arm In arm we think they went,
He had kept his vow to follow every
where the boys we're sent.

ECHOES FROM NUMBER ONE.
Alter a Three-Day Trip on a French
Railroad.

The following was handed in for
o,bIication by Mrs. AL Graves of East
EIy. who received IL from her son,
who il in the American signal ser
vice and close TO the firing line on
the French front. No matter what
conditions are. the boys constituting
he American forces never rail TO see
the funny side. and this is a eharae-
teristic that is going TO prove a big
factor when the boys from the L. S
A get down TO the real business of
licking the kaiser. And it is a char
acteristie that thus far has seemed
10 escape the notice of the stolid hun
battle lords.
Nov, listen, children, and hear some
fun.
About the ride OF old number me-,
On the side door Pullmans of dear
old France,
A man sure takes an awful chance.
The cars are small, the roads are
rough,
No place to sleep-it's surely tough;
One wheel was square, instead of
round,
IT'S The damdesi railroad I've ever
found.
Two sleep on the hatrack and two on
the floor.
And two on the seats-thank God
there's no more.
We'd stop ut each house. at a double
house twice.
Then they'd yank us and jerk US, 1t
surely was nice.
We travelled in Pulimans. day coaches
and freights.
An kinds OF conveyanoes they had in
the States,
Both frst-ciass and steerage we've
travelled at sea,
Bot these little French cars are a
new d on me.
They 70 like the devil. and stop Just
as quick,
Tnsy rock and they roll. II make a
man sick.
And once You get in and door Is shut
hard.
youm never get out else YOU call
the guard.
The French girls look pretty, the
men are all blue,
With eyes out and legs of. and arms
missing. too.
rbey ten tales OF horror of thinEa
they have seen,
wish was back in dear old Ely
But we're here to 20 through. and go
through we must,
Wen help win the war, KIN the
Kaiser or bust,
Hnt when it's all over now just let me
say,
ri be glad to get back to the ola
