The Joy Of Living.

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope to
get much real pleasure out Of life when
his bowels are clogged good share Of
the time and the poisons that should be
expelled are absorbed into the system,
producing headache and indigestion. A
few doses Of Chamberlain 3 Tablets will
move the bowels, strengthen the diges-
tion and give you chance to realize
the real Joy Of living. Try it.

A LETTER HOME.
France in June.
GRANTLAND RICE,

Lieutenant, 115 Field ARTILLERY, A.. e. F.
Dear Heart, some day, when come
Z back
Across the night that blurs our view,
When have found the long lost track
That leads again to home-and you
When have stalked across this stencil
OF fifth and mud and clotted gore,
To see beyond the last lone trench
Old dream rise through the mist once
Wen know, beyond these blood-shot
scenes .r. s
That leave their wake of blight and
pain
Just what an old-time twilight means
When dusk steals out some friendly
lane,
And, hand in hand, home bound we
drift,
Beyond the mangled and the dead,
To watch once more the old moon lift
It's silver etchings on ahead
To meet the darkness without fear
Of what tomorrow 8 fate may bring;
To reach and find the other near
Through springs eternal wandering,
And know, at last, our ways are one,
Are one forever and day,
Until we meet the last dim sun
That leads us on the outbound way.
Wen know just what it means to see
A far light glowing through the gray,
Dim dusk Of April IS witchery.
When I come back again-some day
A light from homeland not the flow
Of battle flame from darkness hurled,
A light from home that sends its glow,
To two lost lovers down the world.
Dear Heart, I've found Out Here, at
last,
We've never understood before;
The happiness that we thought past
Is but a breath of what g in store
Far from the cannon, wheel to wheel,
That tear apart the midnight hue,
The dawn Of life that we will feel
Dear Heart, when I come back TO you.

Beyond the Shadows"
Graves Lands Prize Bass.

S. L. Graves, known to all the
old timers as "Vet", especially
when he was connected with
the old Lake Shore and later on
with the Northwestern railroad,
was up from his summer home
On Planting Ground lake near
Three Lakes a week ago. His
visit with his old fishing chum
Henry Verwey was enjoyed not
only by themselves, but also by
those privileged to hear these
old veteran fishermen recount
the days when fishing was in it's
virginitv and your creel always
full of the big fellows which now
adays invariably "gets away.
But not always. just a few
weeks back "Vet," guided bv
that notorious (?l angler Leo
Bishop of Three Lakes, snagged
and landed the prize tailtwister
of bass from Anvil lake. This
fish weighed FIVE and three-quar-
tiers and beauty at that. Mr..
Graves is the one best bet when
il comes to angling after the fin
ny tribe, especially trout, for the
writer has been skinned to a
FRAGILE in a days catch by this
doughty veteran conductor who
has seen forty-two years ac-
tive service = and he is some
wholesome gentleman to get ac-
quainted with these DAYS of silk
stockinged, much betackled anna
teur fisherman who now infest
the big woods region, and other
regions for that matter.

BOYS Meet in France.

A little Villas county home COM
ing was pulled off recently in the
battle-helds of France that
would have been worth real
money to have witnessed. 1t
seems that Billy Knox and Thos.
McGregor of Eagle River and
Alex McGregor of Big ST. Ger
main were visiting back of the
lines one day recently when they
met LLOYD Raymond formerly of
Eagle River and close friends of
them all. Tell you, Bo, accord
ing to letters sent home, it was
some talk-fest between the bunch
from this county while it lasted.
Is said to have beaten the record
made in the talk line at any in
formal gathering of ladies any
where.
