Dead Man Upright at Machine Gun.

Dead Man Upright at Machine Gun.
Stories of the scenes Of the battle
fields are told in a letter received by
Mrs. II. Z. Wilson of Middle avenue,
Wilmerding, Pa, from her son, Pri-
vate Gordon Wilson Of the One Hun
dred and Ninth Ambulance corps.
Walking over the battlefield in
search of wounded men. he wrote. he
found himself staring into the muzzle
of a German machine gum. with a
German soldier at the breech. Drop
ping into a shell hole, Private Wilson
remained there for half an hour, not
daring to move. Finally, as darkness
approached, he decided to crawl away.
He lost his way, he says, and did not
know where he was until he was
again looking at the German machine
gun and the lone soldier behind it.
This time he was in a position. to see
better and recognized at once that the
soldier was dead. A bullet fired by
an American rit1eman had penetrated
his forehead, probably just at the time
he was preparing to pour a volley into
the advancing columns.

HOW TO TRANSFER BEES

The keeping of bees in box .
hives or log "gums' is unprofit- .
able. The care that bees need ,
in order to gather a fair crop of .
honey al be given only if the .
beekeeper is able to examine the .
the bees and to move the combs +,
as needed.
Probably one-third Of all the
bees in the United States are in
hives without movable combs, !
and to assist the owners of such
colonies to get them in proper
hives the United States depart
ment Of agriculture has pre-
pared Farmers Bulletin 961,
transferring Bees to Modern
Hives" Various methods are
given, some one of which will
be possible to any beekeeper, so
that there is no reason for de-
lay in making the bees produc-
tive.
Unless the bees are properly
managed after transfer there is
little advantage in movable
frame hives. This requires a
study Of beekeeping as we'll as
proinptness and cafe. Direc-
tions for handling bees are given
in other publications of the de-
partment.

GATHER Y'E: ROSES!
Happiness Never a Thing One
Lightly Casts Away.
Too Beautiful, Even Though Evanes~
cent, to BE Passed BY When One
May Hold II, II Only
for the Moment.

We were coming home from a din
ner party together. my friend and L.
It was late at night~and rather rainy
and as we sat together in the DAMP
almost empty trolley car, my friend
spoke very suddenly and seriously,
writes Margaret E. Sangster In the
Christian Herald.
"Just now" she said, "I've a chance
to be very happy. y But I'm almost
afraid to take It'll"
The rain beat in a futile manner
against the car windows. I listened to-
it for a moment before l spoke.
"Why?" l questioned at last-"why'
are you afraid to take your chance
to be happy"
Because" answered my friend. and
her eyes looked far away-past the car
and the rain, even-"because I'm
afraid that 1t won't last!"
When it is autumn and the leaves:
are crimson and gold-colored and very
beautiful, we know, ever as we admire
them, that they will be brown and
withered some day. But that does not
keep us from loving their glorious COL
Ors.
It's like that, too, with flowers, and
springtime, and the blue sky of sum-
mer. We know that the flowers will
fade away and that springtime will 60
and that there will be winter storm
clouds where there were once sparkles,
of sun.
!. And S this is the answer to my
friend and to other friends of mine:
Never be afraid to grasp at happi-
ness because it may not last. For hap
piness is as beautiful as the flowers of
spring and the sky of summer and
the vivid leaves Of autumn. And even
though it might not last, happiness is
too beautiful to pass by with never a
glance.
And then, as the philosopher saidr
and as we know. don't be sure, as you
take your chance at happiness, that it
will not stay. Look around your cir
Gle of friends, look at your business
associates, look at the casual crowds
and note the average Of happy faces is
rather high. You'll see more smiles, I
think, than frowns; more merry faces
than sad ones!
Don't be afraid to take a chance ut
happiness because you fear that it is
toe beautiful to last. Take your
chance, instead, arguing that happiness.
is too beautiful not to last!

Earth a Blue Star.

Observations of the dark part of the
moon were made by Professor Lowell at
the observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz.,
says the New York World. The dark
part of the moon is lighted only by the
faint light reflected by the earth, and
the color Of this light would be the
color with which the earth shines to
the ether heavenly bodies. This color
proved to be blue, which was to be ex-
pected, as the atmosphere, as we see
1t, is blue. and it is the earth's atmos-
phere which chiefly would be visible to
other planets. Thus the earth is a
blue star.

Lloyd was the only man assigned to
d company. Perhaps the officer In
charge OF the draft had something to
do with II. for he called Lloyd inside
and said:
"Lloyd. you are going TO new com
pany. No one knows you. Your bed

The next day the battalion took over
their part of the trenches. II happened
TO be very quiet day. The artillery
behind the lines was stlll, except for
an occasional shell sent over to let the
Germans know the gunners we're not
asleep.
In the darkness, In single file, the
company slowly wended their way
down the communication trench TO the
front line. No one noticed Lloyd's
white and drawn face.
After they had relieved the company
In the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the
old company men, was put on guard In
one Of the traverscs. Not a shot was

On the first time In. a new recruit is
not required to stand with his head

while the older men keep watch.
At about ten o'clock. all Of n sudden,
he thought hell had broken loose. and
crouched and shlvered up against the
p0rapet. Shells started bursting, us he
imagined, right In their trench. when In
fact they were landing about hun.

Lloyd had gone. When the trench
mortnrs opened up, n maddenlng ter
ror seized him and he wanted to run,
TO get away from that horrible din
anywhere to safety. SO quietly sneak
ing around the traverse, he came to The
entrance of a communication trench,
and ran madly and blindly down H.,
running into traverses, stumbling into
muddy holes, and falling full length
over trench grlds.
Cropping bllndly, with his arms

A peace. hitherto unknown. came to
him, and he crouched and covered no
more. but calmly waited the dawn,
ready to 60 to his death. The shells
were bursting all around the guard
room, but he hardly noticed them.
While waiting there. the voice Of the
sentry. singing In low tone, came to
him. He was singing the chorus Of the
popular trench ditty:
! want to go home. want to go home.
] don't want to 60 to the trenches no
more.
Where the "whixzbangs" and "sausages''
roar galore
Take me over the sea. where the Aliemand
can't get at me.
Oh, my. don't want to diel ! want to 60
home.
Lloyd listened to the words with a
strange interest, and wondered what
kind Of home he would go to across
the Great Divide. It would be the only
home he had ever known.
Suddenly there came a great rushing
through the air, a binding. deafen-
ing report, and the sandbag walls Of
the guardroom toppled over, and then

ness, he was lying on his right side,
facing what used to be the entrance of
the guardroom. Now. It was only a
jumble Of rent and torn sandbags. His
head seemed bursting. He slowly rose
on his elbow, and there In the east the
dawn was breaking. But what was
that mangled shape lying over there
among the sandbags? Slowly dragging
himself to 1t, he saw the body Of the
sentry. One look was enough to know
that he was dead. The soldiers head
was missing. The sentry had had his
wish gratified. He had "gone home"
He was safe at last from the ''whlzz-
bangs" and the Allemand.
