We knew 1t was German by the black
leather boot. One OF our crew used
that foot TO hang extra bandolisrs of
ammunition on. This man always was
a handy fellow; made use Of little
points that the ordinary person would
overlook.
The Germans made three counter
attacks, which we repulsed. but not
without heavy loss on our side. They
also suffered severely from our shell
and machine-gun fire. The ground was
spotted with their dead and dying.
The next day things were somewhat
quieter but not quiet enough to bury
the dead.
We lived, ate and slept In that trench
with the unburied dead for six days.
1t was awful to watch their faces be-
come swollen and discolored. Towards
the last the stencil was fierce.
What got on my nerves the most was
that foot sticking out of the dirt. 1t
seemed to me, at night, In the MOON
light. to be trying to twist around.
Several times this impression was so
strong that went to 1t and grasped 1t
In both hands, to see II could feel a
movement.
| told this to the man who had used
1t for hatrack just before lay down
for little nap, as things were quiet
and / needed rest pretty badly.
When l woke up the foot was gone.
He had cut 1t off with our chain saw
out of the spare parts box, and had
plastered the stump over with mud.
During the next two or three days,
before we were relieved, ! missed that
foot dreadfully: seemed as If / had
suddenly lost a chum.
| think the worst thing of all was to
watch the rats, at night, and some
times in the day, run over and play
about among the dead.
Near our gun, right across the para
pet, could be seen the body of Ger
man lieutenant, the head and arms OF
which were hanging into our trench,
| The man who had cut off the foot used
| to sit and carry on one-sided CONVEX
| sation with this officer, used to argue
and point out why Germany was In the
wrong. During all of this monologue
/ never heard him say anything out OF
the way-anything that would have
hurt the officers feelings had he been
alive. He was square all right
wouldn't even take advantage of q
dead man In an argument.
To civilians this must seem dread
full, but out here one gets so used to
awful sights that 1t makes no impress
sion. In passing butcher shop you
are not shocked by seeing q dead tur'
key hanging from hook. Well, In
France, a dead body is looked upon
from the same angle.
But, nevertheless, when our six days
were up, we were tickled to death to
be relieved.
Our machine gun company ios'
seventeen killed and thirty-one wound
ed in that little local affair OF
Strengthening the line,' while thu
other companies clicked 1t worse thar
we did.
After the attack we went into re
serve billets for six days, and on thu
seventh once again we were In rest bill
let's.

my wife remained ON top of the bed

Amusement for Children.

For the children, before they are old
enough to use scissors tearing paper Is
an engaging occupation. Tear a piece
of old newspaper into an oblong shape,
1t may be any size, about two by four
inches, we will say. BY folding this
In the middle 1t will make little tent.
Again, fold in thirds, one piece turned
up and one down, for chair. Turn
both ends down for table. The child
can tear paper into trees. a ball, doll
babies and many ether siaple shapes

Lucky gull h, known locally as Gold hill, is of special interest in conner- tion with the bedrock source of gold The decOmpOsed material on the hill slope yields fine gold on banning. as result of which the gold has been traced to sources in bedrock at soy- eral places, The dccomposcd material from these veins in places yields as much as $l in fine gold 10 the pan
 The placer gold from Lucky gulch is Of interest in this connection. It is remarkably coarse and contains many large nuggets. some of which are smooth, but most of which are rough, with spines and prOtuberances Sugary quartz is of common occur renee in the gold It appears certain from the character of the nuggets and the marrow gulCh in which they lie that the gold has travelled but q short distance from its source in the slates. | hDlu Hlii lS NlIHDut IlHtD UDuDt one of the local centers of naturalization but there is no reason Ot believe that there may not be other centers in the district
 Lucky gulch gold is coarser than that from any other part Of the Val dez creek district In general il is rough, and many pieces contain frag- ments Of granular quartz. although some of the gold is iattened and well worn. Larger nuggets form an i'm pOrtant part of the old product of ! this stream. One found weighed 32 ounces, and a larger one weighing l g. ounces was taken from the gulch two or three years previously.
