sight Of an American flag.
Discouragemnt ceases, new
hope starts and fixed deter

things which the presence of the
great emblem inspires.
The national anthem, "The
Star Spangled Banner" which
brings every soldier to attention
and respectful salute, was WRIT

0EIGER A "PAU-PUK-KEEW1s."

AS long as Meade soldiers
maintain the standard of speed
and endurance set by Joe"
k5eiger there will be little to
complain about the quality of
their mettle.
Joe" is the hero of the hour
Other runners may come who
claim the ability to beat him in
tl'e hundred-yard dash. At such
he only smiles. 1t is like com
pairing dashing colt to a three
year-old racer.
Il requires wind to run a 20
and Joe" has it. 1t requires
more wir7J to run. a 44O and
Zoe has it. 1t requires still
more wind to run mile and
Joe" has it. 1t requires >ex-
fyaordinary wind to run two
miles, but "Joe," without ex-
treme exertion, has this, too.
In the wonderful relay race of
Lafayette day, won by Sd Bat
talon, Joe" was one of the
principal runners. The very
next day he went to Homeward
Field Baltimore; and, pitted
against the best runners from
several other camps, won
with ease the difficult races of
the mile and two miles. "Ioe"
was SO far ahead in the latter
that he was almost lap in front
% The second runner.
Like the great Pau-Puk-
keewis in Longfellow's "IIia-
Watha." he ran swiftly, surely
and ahead of his nearest rival;
Ike an antelope he bounded.

AS he lay Mt night in his narrow bed:
And he made a silent vow

And il lac Numbered to try to mend
For he's in the Army now"
You're in the Army now" they yell.
But for long not. no one can tell.
And he straightens up and he steadies down,
With a smiling face to replace a frown,
For he's there to make show.
He settles down to the Army stuff,
And he says to himself, TITS good enough. -
And the days go swiftly by.
The marching and drills don't hurt him a bit
For he knows that he has to get used to it,
It's the same with them all IL they try,
In a month or so he's as hard as a knot,
If he wanted to get that way or not,
And he's wise to lot Of things.
He has learned his way to the hostess house.
And also learned to button his blouse
And lots Of things experience brings.
And when the rookie comes rolling in.

There's a fellow needs a letter,
Will you write him Just line?
It will make him feel much better
To receive this friendly sign.
That we march in love beside him.
Wheresoe'er he may roam,
Share his life, whate'eP hetides him,
As we think of him at home.
He has borne his country's burden,
Sailed away to face the fight;
Will you cheer him with this guerion
You are with him day and night?
Just sit down and write a letter,
Full OF vim, and news, and cheer,
1t will make him feel much better
For your thinking Of him here.
There are days when he feels badly
In his dugout far away.
Send him, comrades, freely, gladly,
Tidings from the u. .. A..
Stand beside him, thigh and shoulder,
Send your spirit, with a might;
1t will make him fight the holder,
Just to read the lines you write.
Just sit down and write a litter.
Full Of happiness and mirth;
1t will make some boy feel better
AS he burrows In the earth;
Make his dugcut one fine mansion.
Make his night watch bright as day
Sit right down and send good tidings
To the boys who sailed away.

They Hit the Target.

The esd came away with top hon.
ors at the range. 1t was declared by
the range officers that the boys made
more "bulls-eyes" than any other
regiment had done since the range
was opened Just the same, the lads
have a sneaking desire to get back
their old Springfields with which they
used to pound the enemy in China,
Mexico and the Philippines. Fifty
per cent of the men went to the range
to get their first practice.
who MIXED the cow? is the pop
ular question among the boys now.
1t appears that somebody did. which
resulted in guards being stationed
all around the range camp, thus
spelling the fun of lot of fellows
who wanted to stroll around on the
hills.

Chester is so peculiar about eat
ing" said a mother as she started
to put a piece of meat on Chester's
plate. He won't eat bread-he
won't eat potatoes-about the only
things he will eat are lean meat, pie,
ETC."
She didn't need to say any more
she told the whole story in a nut
shell. The very idea of saying this
before Chester is wrong. Why, of
course, Chester doesn't like bread.
HIS mother said he doesn't. If he
wasn't sure of 1t before. he GER
tainly is now.
Suggestion has a powerful infiu-
ence upon behavior. AS parents, we
ought to make it our daily ally in
stead of our enemy.
Let us take a case just reported
by a parent.
Il have much trouble with
my little boy hree-and-a-half-
''ears old at the table. He will
not eat what we set before him.
He will take one mouthful of
something, and then remember
some toy he wants to play with,
and leave the table, and 1 can't
get him back. How shall. man
age him ?"
Devote two or three minutes time
with the boy, just before he sits up
to the table, in playing with him and
cooperating with him in a way to
put him in a very friendly attitude
toward you. Then when you go to
the table, let him understand by
your calm but firm attitude that he
is to eat what you set before him.
Put before him only a very small
bit at time and simply expect him
to eat 1t. So many parents have the
habit of asking the child If he does
mt want this and If he doesn't want
that. But this is a mistake. Chill
dren of this age do not know what
their bodies need. Very often 1 find
boys who refuse most Hnything un-
less 1t is rich or tastes sweet like
candy.
