TO MISS THE WAR MUSIC
Dahotan VIII Feel Lonesome for Burst.
ing Shells

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 20.-Archie
Pack, a South Dakota soldier, who was
in the thick of the fighting during the
closing weeks OF the war, fears he will
sadly miss the music of war-the
music being the sound of the big
shells exploding and the accompanying
din of battle. He also thinks he will
feel lonesome when he no longer can
hear these noises and the bursting of
shrapnel shells. In a letter to the home
folks, dated some days before the end
ing of the war, he writes in arpt:
1--WE live under shell fire most Of the
time, SO it doesn't seem right not to
lhear the roar Of the guns or bursting
of shrapnel and high explosive shells

doesn't bother anyone, SO long as they
don't light among US. The boche pill

DUBLIN SLOWLY REPAIRING
DAMAGES OF REBELLION
(By Associated Press.O

Dublin, July 1S.-The rebuilding OF
the houses in Dublin ruined during
the Easter rebellion of 1916, is pro-
ceeding very slowly More than zoo
houses were destroyed, and not more
than twenty.four have so far been re-
built.
In the main street devasted by the
fires. O'Connel Street, only one
house has yet been finished the
main cause of the delay has been the
greatly increased cost of materials
and the difficulty of procuring them
especially timber.
Five years from the date OF de-
struction was estimated as the perlou
necessary for complete renewal out

past two years the term is likely 10

HOW SHE WON OUT

1t was in the olden days when al
every United Presbyterian church
there was a chorister who "lined out
the verse of the hymn that was after
wards sung by the congregation
There were no musical instruments
in those days-as everything in that
line was spoken Of as "the invention
of the devil'-and the music was
therefore, very much discernable by
the congregation. The story goes
that hired girl was sent to the
church to ascertain some directions
regarding the disposition of a piece
of meat which was to grace the table
Of the chorister, who was to have
company" to the meal. When the
girl arrived the employer had lined
out the first verse, and, as the girl
slipped in at the side door of the
chapel and edged close to him the
singing commenced 1t was an easy
tune and the hired girl was clever
She Immediately put the case in
rhyme and with the same rythm, and
here Is what she sang:
"The butchers brought quarter O.
mutton, an l doan't know what to
do-o-o-o wi it,
And Immediately the chorister
picked up the theme and sang back
to the girl
Just boil tn leg an roast tn thigh,
and make a mince-pie O. the
su-u-uet!"
And the girl caught the drift of the
order and the dinner was served, so
the story goes, precisely on time
and as it was ordered.
