The stage driver who runs truck from

that when he was passing an old orchard
one day recently, and saw three bears, be
was more scared than the bears. But he
always carries rife with him during the
hunting season, and after be had pulled
himself together, "things began to hap
pen." he climbed down from the truck,
and fired until his last cartridge was gone.
Then he just "tore around" When things

The dogs of war, unleashed by
Germany herself, are now driving the
Huns from France and Belgium.
And AS they fee they cry, "call off the
dogs and let's talk it over" and they
might add, "while our disorganized
armies withdraw to new defensive
lines, unhampered." Germany is
getting nearer to our terms as defeat
stares her in the face, but she is still
far from complete, abject and uncon-
ditional surrender. Until she reach
es that point, she must fight on,
hopelessly. The President has al
ready said; "No peace can be obtained
by any kind of bargain or compromise
with the governments of the Central
Powers. They have convinced US
that they are without honor. We
cannot accept the word of those who
forced this war upon US. We do not
think the same thoughts or speak the
same language of agreement" And
that, We confidently believe, will be
the substance of his answer to this
latest peace proposal.

The Papyrus Plant.

In the story told by Mrs. Williams,
mention is made of papyrus, which
was called "papu" in the time when
the mummy of her story lived. From
that word came the Greek "papuros"
and our English word paper" The
historian Herodotus called 1t "bublos"
and from this the old Greeks got a
word "biblion," meaning a book, which
we have carried on into our word
bible" Go to a good dictionary and
you will find long list of words be-
ginning with "biblio" and they are all
connected with books.

In the following letter how 1t feels to be
In the midst of an air raid In France:
Il was awakened by the bursting of
shrapnel from a dozen anti-aircraft

came the first laundering report of
the air bombs.
Il crouched defenseless at the foot
Of tree after running from my dog
tent, and was wearing my steel helmet
and gas mask. The air bombs dug
four holes so close TO me that | could
ing and hit In one each time.
"The raid lasted about two hours,
and when the all clear was sounded
l was satisfied that If there is hell
on earth 1t Is to be near the objective
of air raiders and with the humming
Of motors. the awful flaring of search
lights. the bursting Of shrapnel, the
boom of the anti-aircraft guns, the rat
tie of machine guns and the bursting
of the air bombs, all round you. and
in fact covering you with dirt and with
pieces of shrapnel tearing the bark
from the tree to which you are cling
ing.
AS l crouched beside that tree and
looked at the women and children ly-

to speak, / wondered how long such
torture was going to last. Surely not
very long, for right and justice being
upon our side we cannot help but win"
