SOLDIER HUNTS SNIPES

The civilian who thinks there are
no real sportsmen among the men
in khaki will have to shift his posi-
ton from the knot hole through
which he is getting his vision, and
look over the fence. for he IS mis-
taken Opportunity may not be as
frequent TO indulge in that love Of
the chase as when he could go and
come when he pleased and where he
pleased, but ''intensiyeness' aud
strenuous" are two words the sol
der has learned since he is in the
army and he applies them TO the
chances for sport that he does get,
so after all he gets out OF II as much

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan begins September 2S and
closes October 10. While the
amount has not yet been announced,
il is generally conceded it will be for
a larger amount than any of the pre-
ceding loans. The American peo-
pie. therefore, are called upon to
raise a larger sum of money in a
shorter length OF time than ever be-
fore. There is need, therefore, for
prompt astion-prompt and efficient
work and prompt and liberal sub
scriptions.
We have great inspiration for a
great effort. The news from the
battle front inspires every American
heart. not only with pride and pa
triotism but with a great incentive
to do his or her part. There is no
Sinking, no shifting OF the individ-
ual burden, no selfishness by Ameri-
can soldiers in France; there should
be none here. We are both sup
porting the same country and the
same cause-our Army in one way.
ourselves In another. Theirs is the
harder part. but at least we can do
our part as promptly and Loyalty
and efficiently as they do theirs.

following story which also proves
that truth is stranger than fiction,
to say nothing about that old quota
tion that lone is born every minute"
over in the Depot Brigade there
are two real sportsmen, Maj. c. l..
Martin, of the I'd Battalion, and
Mai. John l.. Lallinger, of the 1st
Battalion. Both of these officers
are old-time devotees of what is
known as the "snipe hunt" Maj.
Martin, however, being from Indiana,
and not in harmony with Kentucky
"snipes," and Maj. nallinger being on
speaking acquaintance with these
former got the latter to superintend
a recent "snipe hunt" in which the
guest of honor was young, auburn
haired dental Lieutenant from
Chicago. Chicago's classics run to
the pork packing industry, hence
they know little or nothing about
Kentucky snipes. The party in
cluded Capt. F. w. Walker and
Lieut.. Stewart Williams, who as
sisted in the "hunt" as heaters in
or drivers.
The party in motor drove some
where in Kentucky" four miles from
a railway and six miles from the in
terurban line, then stationed their
guest with the bag and a candle
which he was to light at the given
signal. The last words his compan-
ions heard him say were: "Now,
look, am / in the right position?"
He was informed that he was and
left alone with visions of snipe for
breakfast-which he was told were
exceedingly delicious. The party
walked back to>their machine, a dis
lance of two miles, and came on to
the camp.
The guest failed to hear the ap-
pointed signal and held on until he
bcbdh w IL was pOOl
for ''snipes." He started back, but
with no compass he failed to get his
bearings and is reported to have
lost himself four times. He an
nounces that it was just a little af-
ter 2 when he came in, but when he
was first seen in camp it was 10 to
7 a. m. 1t is suggested that his
watch must have stopped. Anyway
when the party left him ii was lone
after one" and he could, not possibly
have marched in by two" for they
left him alone. Our friend from
the Windy City, however, enjoyed
the "hunt" immensely, and can
hardly wait to pass on his expert
ence to some other uninitiated.

THIRTEEN SONS AND
SEVENTEEN GIRLS IN WAR.
John Ward, of North Caorlina, Has
Thirty-Five Children

Raleigh, N. C.,-John Ward, a ne
gro, of Goldsboro, has thirteen of his
eighteen sons in the 9th and 10th
U. S. cavalry, while his seventeen
daughters are busy with war work
The facts are vouched for by Sheriff
r. II. Edwards, of Wayne county, of
which Goldsboro is the county seat.
Ward also probably holds the record
for bankruptcies, says Sheriff Ed
wards, who gives the record thus:
Ward was born April 81, 1855,
at Goldsboro. He was married
three times and his last wife is now
living.
His first wife bore him fifteen
children-four at one. time twice,
three at one time twice, one at a
time once.
His second wife bore him twelve
children-two at one time twice,
three at one time once, and five one
at time.
His present wife has borne him
eight-one at a time.
His first wife lived six years and
three weeks after marriage, his sec
ond wife eight years and six months.
The number of boys is: BY first
wife, eight; by second wife, five, and
by third wife, five. OF those now in
the service, seven are by the first
wife, five by the second and one by
the present wife.
Another son has served in the
cavalry, but is now living at Wilson,

Gentlemen of the Jury:

Gentlemen of the Jury:
The best human friend man has
in the world may turn against him
and become his enemy. His son or
daughter that he has reared with
loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest
to us, those whom we trust with
our happiness and our good name
may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him, per-
haps, when he needs it most A
mans reputation may be sacrificed
in a moment of ill-considered action.
The people who are prone to fall on
their knees to do US honor when
success is with us may be the first
to throw the stone of malice when
failure settles its cloud upon our
heads. The one absolutely unset
fish friend that a mcn can have in
this selfish world, the one that new
er deceives him, the one that never
proves ungrateful and treacherous,
is his dog.
A mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep on
the cold ground where the wintry
wind blows and the snow drifts
fiercely, if only he may be near his
masters side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer. He
will lick the wounds and sores that
come in encounter with the rough
ness of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as If he
were prince. When all other
friends desert he remains. When
riches take wings ard reputation
falls to pieces, he is as constant in
his love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast
in the world, friendless and home
less, the faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that of accompany
ing, to guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies, and when the
last scene of all comes, and when
death takes the master in its en-
brace and his body is laid away in
the cold ground, no matter if all
other friends pursue their way,
there by the graveside may the no
BILE dog be found, his head between
his paws, his eyes sad but open in
alert watchfulness, faithful and
true even in oath.

Gipsy Smith.

A large number of our citizens were
in st. Joseph, Friday evening, of last
week, to hear Gypsy Smith, the worlds
most renowned evangelist, ut the Aud
itorium. His subject was "Our Boys
Just Behind the Firing Line" Thou
sands heard him, and thousands We're
turned away. The most intense in
terest was manifested by the large
audience throughout his entire appeal,
and they laughed, cried, and some
times sprang to their feet, calling on
him not to stop. At the close he said:
"Oh, send help, and pray God for
success, and make your own deeds as
unselfish and as brave as those which
are marking every moment of the
lives of the boys over there" he
begged. Then he lifted his face heav-
onward and prayed-prayed for the
city, TO. the country, for its people,
and its work and its future. And he
prayed for the boys he had left be-
hind, and asked that his God might
send him back to them, and give them
victory at last
