Dakota penitentiary about three
weeks ago, is still at large.
Two possible clues to his where

Warden Talcott procured, to look no
more like Noah than any other man

He very positively was not North
Dakota's prize trusty. Other clues
which originally seemed to offer very

run down. Noah. if he is in America

his identity.

employer, a Bottineau farmer. with
whom he was accused of having made
way, burying his body under a gran

then proceeded to haul his victims
grain to town, where he procured
payment for it, pocketed the proceeds
and decamped. He was captured and
convicted after a long chase. In the
North Dakota state prison, where he
had spent several years, he was con-

a former warden under whom Noah
had served, was among those who
endorsed his papers. Up to that time

Hamlets that even geography missed

Towns whose main street is a broad,

Brought into print with a sigh:
Home of a soldier who weltered in

Hamlets with only a store and a shop,
Giving a boy for the cause:
Towns where the slowest Of trains

Atlas and Foxport and Hawes.
Sending their best with a smile,
Laugh at the whimsical names if you

Morehead and Wahoo and Nile.
Towns that are peaceful, old-fash-

Reading the lists for their lost.
Towns that were eager to see their

Hallowed by graves over there.

called the only great genius brought
out by the wnr," was unheard of be-
fore the war began. On August /,
1914. he was living quietly with his
family, contentedly painting the tulip
fields, waterways, cattle and windmiuS
of his native Holland. Four days later
he drew the first cartoon, "Christen-
dom After Twenty Centuries" of q
series that was to reveal him as Il
champion of civilization and make his
name household word in every coun-
try. Raemaekers personally investi-
gated the Belgian horror, and though
a hundred of his early cartoons bear
witness to the burning impression
made upon his mind, he has only once
brought himself 10 speak publicly of
this experience. II was at dinner

1t is something to carry ones COM

Coventry Patmore would have it.

she had forgotten his name.
"You must know whom mean," she
said. "That man with a beard. who
has such a friendly look"
"Oh, you'mean George Burnham, Jr,"
said the other.
Eyes, that's the man." .
"Such a friendly look!" Could one
desire a more endearing description?
Which reminds me that when Hor-
ace Greenwood and Mr.. Durham
first met they were somewhat in
audibly introduced. (Why are intro

Mr.. Burnham.

and girls who are not strong. They
are children Of the very poor. and II
they remained in dark houses and did
not have enough to eat, they would

The officers Of the American Red

They made brave showing in their
