of all husbands and wives is to share
each Others tears
Sometimes l think perhaps Dick
did not. wholly write this manuscript
for me to read but he also wrote II
that he might live over once again
all our happiness and our sorrow be-
fore he stopped living.
Before ne stopped living" Oh.
Dick if you only knew what II meant
to me to have to write that. You can
never know what it means to a wom-
an TO live after her husband has stop
ped living. 1t is as though you tore
the roots Of my life right out and
threw them on the dust heap when
you stopped living" dear Dick.
Why. Dick, dear-now II you are
somewhere in space where you know
what I am writing, I am sure your
lips are curling in that little crooked
smile Of yours at the absurdity of it,
but honestly. Dick, l cannot eat a
beefsteak any more. 1t chokes me
when I remember how you loved 1t,
how we discussed it and, yes, how we
quarrelled over it.
never put on a new hat Or gown,
dear, that do not think that nothing
matters, as you cannot see and ad-
mira.
l never look into onr boys eyes
that mine do not fill with tears at the
thought that he will never know his
father.
When it rains, dear, I shudder,
thinking of you lying out there so
cold and still, and when the sun
shines my heart aches and aches be-
cause I know that you, who loved the
sunshine even more than I. are down
there in the dark of the grave.
never close my eyes at night, dear
Dick, that do not hope I will dream
of you-and I never have since you
left me.
My only consolation, husband mine
that was, Is that your child needs
me. T know that If any of my friends
or relatives could read this they
would be much surprised for I have
never said much about you, dear. to
anyone since you died. But, oh, Dick
am so lonely, 80 lonely-I am al
most praying for Time to take away
from me your mem mory-the memory
of you that makes me SO restless and
unhappy unless I am SO busy that
have no time to think

Amiens, Ruined
Now, Once a Fine
Thriving Market

WASHINGTON, May 25-Amiens,
which is still inside the lines of the
Allies, but which is within range Of
the German big guns and is, there
fore, being battered to pieces with
the accustomed teutonic ruthlessn ess
is the. subject of. the following war
geography bulletin issued today by
the National Geographic Society
Z "Eighty-one. miles north of Paris
by rail and seventy seven miles south
east of the important Channel seaport
of Boulogne, Amiens was thriving
city with many important industries
before the war. In addition to its
manufacturing interests, which in
cluded woolens. linens. velvets, silks
and shoes, it enjoyed considerable
commercial prosperity owing to its
advantageous situation on the River
SOmme. near the point where this i'm
portant waterway is joined by its at
fuents the Arve5 and the Celle.
THE business section of the town
was rather unattractive in appear
ance,, being threatened by numerous
canals, but. wide. we'll paved streets
were to. be. found throughout the res
idential section. and the older section
Of the town was surrounded by Pic
turesque boulevards which occupied
the site Of ancient Notifications. In
the western end of the city there was
famous pleasure park. known as the
Promenade do la Hotoie, where fes-
tivals and concerts were frequently
given in the long past days of peace
> "Amiens, which in 1914 was about
the size of Springfield. Mass. was in
ancient times known as Samarobriva
and was the capital OF the Gallic
tribe known in Julius Caesars time
as the, Ambiant. Cdwellers on the
waterl 1t became a Roman strong
hold and received special considera-
ton at the hands Of MarcuH' Aureiius.
The Franks captured it in the hfth
century. In the twelfth century 1t
became an important commercial
center and four hundred years later
was one of the chief cities Of the
great textile industry in France. Up
to 1890 it was the capital of Picardy.
and Is now the capital of the Departs
ment of the Somme.
.'The devastation wrought by the
Huns today does not mark the first
experience Amiens has had with the
Prussians After the so-called Battle
of Amiens, which consisted of numer-
GUS detached engagements in the VI
cinity of Villers- BretonneuX and
Drury, it was captured by the same
enemy In November, 1870.
Among the native sons of Amiens
who have written their names indeli-
bly, on the pages of world history ara
Peter the Hermit, the legendary au-
thor and originator Of the First Cru
sade; Blasset, the sculptor: Voiture
and Gresset. the poets. and Ducange,
the noted linguist.
I'm the famous Treaty Of Amiens.
signed in 1902 by Great Britain.
France, Holland and Spain, the Bri-
tish recognized the changes in the
,nao of Ttirope which had been ef-
Ifccted by the armies of Napoleon.
This treaty also restored to France
almost the whole of her colonial en-
pire which had been taken from her
some years before.
h "Of course, the chief glory OF
Amiens. before it suffered the same
fate as Rhiems, was her cathedral,
which will be described in subse-
auent war geography bulletin"
