time with the French people. | was
talking to a young lady the other
day and with what few words of
French that l have learned to speak
and what few words of English she
could speak and little book have
that tells the meaning of different
words, we had a right nice CONVEX
sation. We do not stay in camp here
like we did in the States. We stay
in a town about the size of Union
City. Of course we have drill fields
where we go and drill every day.
Mama, don't want you to worry
at all about me, for have a good
place to stay, plenty to eat and
plenty of good warm clothes. 1 see

are drafting lot more men. l won

me where Bert 10 and If he has come
across yet. 1 meet lots of boys from
close to home. We have church here
on Sunday night and everything just
like back there. Tell papa he ought
to be here and help these people
raise gardens. Every way you look
here you see little garden. l
would like to see Beulah and Welbert
talking to some of these little French
kids. Some of them can speak Eng
lish pretty well. l am still having
good time with these French girls.
l would like to see all the girls back
over there. l would like to see you
all. It has begun to seem like quite
while since left homo. We Amer
lean boys have lots of fun over here.
l am at the Y. M. C. A. now and it
is almost like being over there some
place. The house is full of American
boys-some are writing, some read
ing, some talking, some buying odd
drinks that they have to sell us. One
boy has just asked me how much of
his money 1t takes to buy lemon
ade. Mama, will write you real
often so you can hear from me often,
and don't worry about me. Just
feel proud that you have a son to
help fight for dear old U. s. A., for
that is the best place in the world,
and we will soon win, so help us
to come back to our homes. Well,
must close now and knock around
with the boys some and then go to

love for everyone of you and write

Red Mountain Breeze
By ROSA CLIsBY JOHN

 Through window wide and open With curtains drawn aside You come. o mountain air, In bounty sweet and pure As maidens love and as rare. You kiss my cheek, my brow. l hold my arms to draw You close, to hug you tight As a lover when enraptured With his souls enchanting light. Your coyness but tempts the more My arms to keep you close While l murmur low My vows of happiness, And hope for kisses so! Out from my arms you sweep, Down upon my aching feet. To still the throbbing pain That made me falter in my work So well you seem to know! Up and down, through and through Tho room you come and go, Thus responding to my call, And softly steal apart Across into the hall. 0 mountain breeze, out far You reach the restless babes That toss from fever slow, With your gentle soothing touch To old and gray you go. o gift of God, that I May serve in swiftness sure With heart and soul and brain! Teach me to understand The needs of my fellowman.

VI. The QirsD resting place of Helen Hunt Above these falls so high, Is marked by a lonely pile of rocks; Many visit it with a sigh Some take rock and leave one, And then pass on again To visit tthe.. wonders Of the Rocky Mountain Glen. And as we were ascending Along this famous road, Two of us hiked along awhile And lightered thus the load. It is rest to walk oftimes, You get better view Of all the Scenic Wonders That you are passing thru. We came at last to Bruins Inn. And stopped awhile to dine; Our eats all tasted excellent, Beneath the tow ring pines The beautiful falls of Helen Hunt Are just above this Inn, But at last we started onward, And upward once again. The beauties from here to Capt. Jacks Are far beyond my pen, Arriving at the Queen of the Rockies We all were welcomed in Dr. Perkins had his cornet And with Capt. Jack at his side
