PROOF THAT UNCLE SAM
 KEEPS TRACKS OF HIS BOYS

4 young officer a relative of 3, cer tain Norwich woman, has had a rather unusual experience. Early in Febrt1- Ary he was sent overseas to learn all about tanks and bc prepared to act as instructor in this country.
 After spending some time in Eng iand he vas sent to France for more training in the tank service. He was returning. on the President Lincoln when it vas sunk by a submarine He vas in a lifeboat 15 hours before being rescued by a destroyer and landed again in France. Of course he escaped with only the clothes he had on. ...,, -.. ...-., ,,..--
 In a few days he once more started for the United States and this time had a safe trip. .-..-.e ..-.....
 Earty tn September bis grip was re- turned to, him in 2 bad state of re pair It had been picked up a month after. the sinking of the President Lincoln, iii a. drifting lifeboat. and the interesting part was that his orders and a lot of vstuapie personal prop erty vas in it and practically all of il was left untouched, as well as un harmed by the. water. .... Some, time before he had a letter from France saying the bag had been found and would be sent to him
 Since his return to the United States he had been located in several places still the grip and number of return ed letters found him. proving in a very convincing way that the government does keep track of it's men.

ANIMALS ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
Birds and Beasts Share In the Christ
mas Cheer in the Scand-
navlan Countries.

The Christmas customs In Norway
and Sweden are the most interesting
OF any country. II is time OF great
rejoicing. To show that there are
hmicable feelings between every one
in the household the shoes are placed
bn row at night IN the hall when re-
firing on Christmas eve, and, like the
German custom, candles are left burn
ing In the village windows all night TO
light the way for "Krlstine," who
brings the gifts. The Christmas tree
is largely decorated with candles and
pretty cakes arranged In brlght-colored
Basketball usually homemade.
Il The richer households send good
Vikings 10 the poor. and everywhere
among both rich and poor are the ami
mails and birds remembered. The boys
md girls save up their pennies during
the year for this purpose. Sheaves OF
grain are fastened TO the window
hedges In town, and In the country the
sheaves are fastened to long poles and
renewed every day for week, and
many are the birds that spy this feast.
On the barn floors of the peasants
bowls OF hot porridge are set for poor
sRobln Goodfellow'' TO comfort him be
cause he has no soul" The cows and
the horses share In the general happi'
ness by having q double share OF food
given them.

But near-too near. the lannon's roar.
The shield and saber's rattle:
The Christmas anthems sound no more.
Across-the field of battle.
Oh, Christmas spiritl Calm our fears.
Close down In pity STOPPING.
Alas! Thine eyes are filled with tears.
Thy radiant wings are dropping.
The happy bells. the Joyous bells
That set the echoes rolling
Through silent streets and frosty dells,
Are slowly. sadly tolling.
Come. glory night Come. spirit light
Come, Joy, thy mute bells ringing!
Through clouds the star II shining bright;
Far of the choir is singing.
