Trying weather, exposure to

A few days ago the Journal pub

Sobbing of death and woe
And bleeding from every vein.
While through the crimson years
Their long sought goal unwon--
The slavish millions go.
To join the millions slain,-
Slain that a maddened Brute
Night work his swinish will
On a cowed and conquered world.
Benumbed by death and pain.
The seed is sown. and the frult
The measure will more than fill.
When his black soul is hurled
To it's native hell again!
And that glad day draws nigh;
For giant out of the West,
Rigid and clean and strong,
Has risen the world TO save.
From the breed now doomed to die
BY the power of Gods behest.
And bury earth's foulest wrong
In their cursed, blood-glutted grave.

Somewhere in France:
"Col. Hume is still on the job and
believe me he is some soldier. The
other night we had quite a heavy
harrage and one of our sergeants got
hurt quite badly The Colonel was
out near where the shell exploded
and picked the sergeant up and
started to carry him in, that Is the
kind Of a Colonel he is.
Il am orderly to Lieut.. Col. Eaton
I don't know where he is from but
think his home is in New York. He
served in the Goth L. S. Inf. as cap
tain. He was with General Ed
wards staff but when Lieut. Cum

He is very strict and certainly SOL
dier."
The man was engaged in breaking up
some of the snow and ice on his lawn
and throwing it into the gutter. The
boy was on his bicycle, coasting down
/ the slight incline on that street and
watching the mans struggles with the
snow. The latter had good shovel

of the lad who was just at that moment
coasting by.
The man was alarmed, for some Of the
stuff was hard and heavy and he has

with his wheel had gone headlong into
the ditch But the youngster arose ap-
parently unhurt and as cheerful az
could be expected. Said the man:
why didn't you give me warning
that you were coming

I had some acquaintance with Cap tain Masterman,'' he said "In fact we were strong friends, although ou1 views were divergent upon certain subjects. I shall be happy to see to the interment and to take charge o1 any papers that my old colleague may have left, pending the appointment o1 an official trustee"
 Lieutenant Paget was convinced that MacBeard was lying. Why, it was hardly ten minutes since Master man had denounced him in his char acteristically unmeasured termsl And at that moment, apparently by coinci- dence, but doubtless on account of a slight jar to the couch on which the body had been laid, a bulky envelope fell out of the dead mans pocket
 MacBeard stopped hastily and was about to transfer it to his own when Donald intervened.
 Excuse me, but is that not ad- dressed to me?'' he asked. My name is Paget-Lieutenant Paget''
 He was sure that he had seen his name upon the envelope, and 1t oc- cured to him that this must be the
  spoken. Donald felt greatly touched to think that Captain Masterman had had him in his crazy mind, even be- fore their accidental meeting, out of all his acquaintances.
 MacBeard had placed his hand over the envelope, as if to hide the ad- dress but, seeing that it was impos- sible to deny Donald's assertion, he re- piled:
 'I suppose that you are the man you claim to be, and can prove it? A good many persons are anxious to profit by Captain Masterman's discov- cries."
 The insolent challenge, and the sneering tone awakened Donald's an- ger. He grasped the professor by the wrist which held the letter.
 q am not accustomed to having my identity questioned" he answered. ''You'u hand over that envelope, and
