ANOTHER SAD SIDE OF WAR
Many Men Who Have Won Honors
Have Lost Comrades and Feel
Lack of Companionship

An American was sitting in Simpsons
a hardy man in Canadian uniform
started to converse with him. The
Canadian was working in a large
automobile factory in Windsor when
the war started, but enlisted In q
Canadian regiment and has been in
hVe of the worst battles of the war.
Hardly handful of the men who
started with him are still on the roster.
This particular soldier was about to
leave for the trenches again after COIN
pleting his leave. There was nothing
remarkable IN that, but this is his
story:
Inside his coat he wore the Victoria
Cross. He got it at Ypres, where he
carried q captain three hundred feet
through No Mans Land with bullets
flying all about him. He has no ac-
quaintances in England He hasn't
relative in the world. He was just
hungering for some one to talk to
when he saw the American. He re-
Iuctantly showed his decoration, and
said 1t would give him great happiness
IL lie had some one somewhere in the
world who was close enough to him TO
slap him on the back and say, "GOOd,
old chap!"
Still he wasn't maudlin about it. He
was just one of thousands who are
carrying honors around with them and
have no relative or intimate friend
TO congratulate them. It's war.

stepped out into it on the morning
after his arrival. For one thing it was
bleak and cold: the north wind, hail

when he found shelter in the building

THE COYOTE BROTHERS.

"Of course" said the coyote. or
prairie wolf. there are creatures who
don't like me-"
They aren't any fonder OF me-" said
his brother, Jimmie Coyote.
Now the first speakers name was
Jackie Coyote and Jackie had quite a
lot to say.
"Will you listen to me?" he asked
Of his brother.
Certainly" said Jimmie. II was
listening to you before. If had not
been listening how could / have said
that there were creatures who weren't
any fonder of me than Of you? That
was because / had been paying atten-

That's So" said Jackie ''Well, I'll

I've lots to say to you"
Il will be delighted to-" said Jimmie,

little bodies"
True" said Jimmie. Eyes, to hear
you talk of them makes my mouth wa

81 suppose 1 can't blame them for
that" said Jackie, ''but still to hear
you talk about how much they like to
live, ore would think you had turned
over new leaf and had decided never

Nor barked Jimmie. IT'S not true.

TELLS ABOUT JOHN RANDOLPH
Thomas n. Benton Relates Interview
With Eccentric Man, in Which He
Depicts His Melancholy Mood.

Thomas Fl. Benton In his Thirty
Years View" gives an interesting ac'
count of an interview he had with the
eccentric John Randolph of Roanoke
The interview was at Mr.. Benton's
room in Crawfords hotel, in George
town. 1t was in the gloom of the eve
ming, before the lamps were lit. Mr.
Randolph, reclining on a soft. silent
and thoughtful, repeated, as if to him.
self, JOhnson's lines on "Senility and
Imbecility," that show his life under
its most melancholy form:
I'm life's last scenes what prodigies
surprise,
Fears of the brave and follies of the
wise.
Down Marlborough's eyes the streams
of dotage flow,
And Swift expires a driyeller and a
show"
When Mr.. Randolph finished repeat
ing these lines, Mr.. Benton said to
him: "Mr. Randolph. | have often
heard you repeat these as if they could
have an application TO yourself, while
no one can have less reason than your
self to fear the fate of Swift"
To this Randolph replied: 81 have
lived in dread of insanity"
While Randolph was not insane in
the ordinary sense of the word, it is
certain that he had occasional tenn
porary alterations Of the mind, and it
was during such times that his talk
was most brilliant, copious flow for
hours of wit and classic allusion, a
perfect scattering of the diamonds of
the mind.
His will was contested on the ground
of insanity. but it was not set aside.

First American MultimiIIionaire

The first American multimillionaire
to attain international fame on ac-
count of his vast wealth was Stephen
Girard. OF the financial dynasties of
today only the Astors and Vanderbilts
were represented in Girard's time, and
the fortune of the distinguished Phila-
delphian exceeded that of Commodore
Cornelius Vanderbilt or the first John
Jacob Aston. Girard was worth $1,000
600 at the time OF his death. Much of
this money he left to the city Of Phila-
delphia for public purposes, and
100000 were applied TO the building
of college for orphans. This institu-
ton has supported and educated tens
of thousands of orphans and fitted
them for their battles with the world
Girard was a free thinker.
