A COUNTRY EDITOR.
Tells All About His Work in a Single
Sentence.

Ever sit at a typewriter and try to
see what matter of public interest
YOU could write about, how you could
say something nice about this one,
and something nice about that one,
give some idea on a public topic,
make some suggestions which might
be carried out by some one in the
community who had the time and
money to do so, smooth over some
ones mistakes which had reached the
public ear, try and explain why such
and such things are not so, make
hero or heroine out of some one who
had done something little unusual,
give the proper space to the life OF
departed citizen, laud the beauty and
grace of a bride, see that every Or
ganization that has met has its name
mentioned, give the name of all the
new officials of any order, announce
the events which are planned, write
up the programmes of entertain
ments, omit everything that should
be omitted from publicity, write
everything which everybody wants
you to write about, and withal make
no enemies? Then you're partly fit
ted to be an editor of a small town
newspaper.-Milford (Pa.) Citizen.

The Watch Had Stopped.

A pompous army surgeon who was
sent to a recruiting depot in Scot
land to examine some newly enlisted
men had such an abrupt and over
bearing manner that he frightened
some of the recruits. One nervous
Young man was unable to answer the
first question as to his name and
place of birth.
"Why don't you answer" roared
the doctor. "What's your name,
say?"
Still the panic stricken lad could
only stare open-mouthed at his ques-
toner, who exclaimed:
"Why, believe the fellows stone
deaf" Taking his watch from his
pocket he held it to the left ear of the
recruit, saying, "Can you hear that
ticking?"
The youth shook his head. The
watch was applied to the other ear
with the same effect, and then the
doctor opened the vials of his indig-
nation Oil the head of the would-be
soldier.
"What do you mean by enlisting
when you are stcne deaf? Why, you
can't even hear the ticking of watch
when it's held an inch of the drum of
your ear
And then the worm turned.
'She's ma gaun," said the recruit,
finding his tongue at last.
When the doctor, holding the watch
to his own ear, found that it had. in
deed stopped, his feelings were too
powerful to be expressed in words,
extensive though his vocabulary ordi-
narily was.-EXchange

The Girl / Left Behind Me.


From you, somewhere in France
/ ask you to always think of me,
And pray that have chance.
To leave you dear, was hard,
The hardest thing of all,
But l am no Stacker,
When l hear my country call.
To be at home with you little girl.
Is happiness that is true,
But cannot see the enemy,
Down the red, white and blue.
I used to be with you often,
Those beautiful happy days,
But it makes me blue to think
That we are so far away.
Some day in the near future,
This great conflict will end,
And the soldier boy who loves you
Will come back to you again.
1t is the duty of every girl,
Who is left behind,
To always remember the boy she
loves,
Who is on the firing line.
He did not want to leave you,
For he is gone to risk his life,
He is true American,
And upholds the stars and stripes
The girls here are beautiful.
Most everywhere you roam,
But are nothing to compare,
With the ones at home.
When the boys go marching by,
In step with some National hymn
1t thrills my heart to know,
That I am one of them.
I told you when kissed
Those lips of yours so sweet,
That was going to leave you,
And again we may never meet.
Don't give up my darling,
If you love me you will wait,
If we don't meet on earth again,
We will meet at the Golden Gate.
Some girls are not so patient,
Who will not wait so long,
But will go and love Stacker,
When their soldier boy has gone.
When he comes to fight the battle,
For his country and for you,
His thoughts are always resting,
On the one he thinks is true.
yxyho, bo rofurpc IN voorc fO cOmo
And finds you false,
His whole life will be ruined,
And his happiness lost.
Don't bear this strain little girl,
Make your love be true,
Greet the boy in khaki,
When he comes marching back to
you.
Throw your arms about him,
Let him kiss your sweet little lips,
Then he will fully tell you,
All about his wonderful trip.
Don't respect Stacker, r- p
They deserve not a chance. , = :
The boys you should honor,
Are the boys who go to France.
will close this letter hoping,
You will be mine some day,
AS l bid you goodbye for this hour,
And goodbye for this day.
II it is goodbye for a month,
She loves you as true as ever,
Goodbye for year,
And perhaps goodbye forever.

back up this belief Governor Capper
lent about three thousand dollars TO
one hundred and two boys in that
many Kansas counties. with the un-
derstanding that the borrowed money
was TO be used to buy one hog. the
fcrther stipulation being that the
animals should be pure-bred. of any
breed the boys might wish to select.
II was agreed also. that IL any boy
won a prize in a county or state fair
with his hog the governor would dup
icate the amount from his own pock-

cashier in the governors own bust

the plan sHe -hooted more when the
drafts began 10 arrive from the boys
as they bought their hogs and be-

ceased TO hoot. Only one boy of the
one hundred and two made a com
