We knew it was German BY tile o,ack

that foot to hang extra bandoliers of
ammunition on. This man ALWAYS YVES
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 diving.
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,
It 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. It
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 it and crashed it
in both hands, to see if could feel q
movement.

it for hatrack just before Law down
for little nap, as things were quiet.
and 1 needed rest pretty badly.
When I woke up the foot was gone.
He had cut it 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 DAVIS.
before we were relieved, missed that
foot dreadfully; seemed as ,if I had
suddenly lost a chum.
1 think the wors: 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, ri yht across the nara.
pet, could be seen the body of q 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 OH a one-sided CONVEX.

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:

To civilians this must seem dread
full, but out here one gets so used to
awful sights that it makes no impress

are not shocked by seeing dead tur-

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 lost
seventeen killed and thirty-one wound

other companies clicked it worse than
we did.

Chick Gandil, though still somewhat

The award by the national board of
Pitcher Pepper Clark to Des Moines
was life saver to Jack Coffey, who
was hard up for pitchers.
President Hickey's rules against
freak pitching are clear enough and as
the decision is up to the umpires there
should be few controversies.
Portland fans have taken great
liking to Bill Feuerborn, the first base
man secured from Salt Lake City. and
are praising him to the skies.
The Minneapolis club has released a
number of players to St. Joseph of the
western league and those clubs pre-
sumably will work together during
the season in exchange of players.

Got Their "LiveIy Time"

A famous ion-tamer tells of queer
Christmas present he once received. It
was a consignment from a friend
abroad of three boa-constrictors and
five alligators, with Jim's best wishes
for a lively time" The lion-tamer and
his wife got the lively time desired.
He says:
Il shall never forget how annoyed I
was when, during the night, two of the
alligators broke out of their boxes in
our bedroom and began exploring. I
could not find the matches, and I and
my wife remained on top Of the bed
canopy till morning. Luckily, my wife
never thought of the thing that wor-
rled me. was afraid the alligators
might call on the boa-constrictors to
wish them Merry Christmas, and so
wake them up too!''

GREAT BASE RUNNING

Arthur Fletcher, by fast sprint
Ing and keen judgment, achiev-
ed a feat seldom ACCOMPLISHED
in baseball in a recent game at
the Polo Grounds between the
Giants and Braves by scoring
from first base on a single to
center field by Lew mccarthy.
After Larry Doyle had popped
to HerzOg, Fletcher singled to
deep center, after which Powell
made a great catch of Holke's
long drive. On the next play
McCarty dropped a hit in center
held between Powell and Wick
land and Fletcher, who started
with the pitchers throw, scored
all the way from first. It was q
great piece of base running, the
equal. of which seldom has been
seen on any ball field in the ma
jor leagues.

"1n reply to your letter asking
whether the prophecy by the
monk, Fratre Johannes, is real,
we would say that this prophecy
was discovered in an old parch-
ment in the convent of the Holy
Ghost at Wiamar, in Germany
and is kept under glass in the
town hall of this city. There
have been numerous translations
which texts vary somewhat.
W. are returning your copy f
the prophecy.
The discrepancies which we
noted and which you may also
notice. are probably due TO the
variations in the translations of
the text. On the whole it is a re.
marka able prophecy"
1t is as follows:
The real antichrist will be one
of the monarchs of his time, a
Lutheran Protestant. He will
invoke God and give himself out
as His messenger, or spcstle.
This prince of lies will swear
by the Bible. He will represent
himself as the arm OF the most
high, eent TO ctastise corrup
peoples,
He will have only one arm but
his innumerable armies, who will
take for their device the words,
"God is with u.s." will resemble
the internal regions.
For a lcng time he will act by
craft and strategy. His spies

KaiSers Fall Was PropheSied in 1900 By German Monk

A most remarkable prophesy
made by the Germen monk
Fratre Johannes, in the year
1900, seems to be nearing full
fillment. As key to this pro-
phecy one has only to- realize the
following, it is pointed out by the
Great Falls, Montana, Leader:
The Kaiser is q German Lu!h :
eran-he has a withered arm.
Germany is the Black Eagle.
Austria, her ally has also ar
Eagle.
Ruseia is the White Eagle.
France is the cock.
England, the British empire,
is the Leopard.

will cverrun the earth, and he
will be master of the secrets Of
the mighty. He will have learn
ed men in his pay, who will
maintain and undertake to prove
his celestial mission.
a war will afford him the op.
portunity of throwing off the
mask. 1t will not be in the fret
instance a war which he will
wage against a French monarch.
But 1t will be ono of such nature
that after two weeks al! will re-
alize it's universal character.
Not only all christains. but
Musselmans and even more dis
ant peoples will be involved
from the four quarters of the
earth.
For by the third week the an
gels will perceive that the man is
the antichritt and that all will
become his slaves if they dc not
overthrow this conquerer.
Antichrist will be recognized
by various tokens-in special he
will massacre the priests, the
monks, the women, the children
and the aged. He will show in
mercy, but will pass torch in
hand, ke the barbarians, but
invoking Christ.
His words of imposture will re
semole those Of Christians, but
his vows of all the human race
He will have an eagle in his
arms, there will also be an eagle
in the arms of his confederate.
But the latter will be a Christian
and will die from the maledlctio1
of Pope Beuedict, who will be
at the beginning of the reign of
antichrist.
In opder to conquer antichrst
it will be necessary to kill more
men than Rome ever contained.
l. will need the energies of all
kingdoms because the cock, the
leopard and the white eagle will
not be able to make an end of |
the black eagle without the aid
of the prayers and the VOWS of
the human race.
Never will humanity have oeen
faced with such peril, because
the triumph of the pntichrist
would be that of the demon, who
will have taken possession of his
personality.
For it has been said that 20
centuries after the incarnation of
the world the beast will be in
carnated in his turn and will
menace the world with as many
evils as the devine incarnation
has broughtit graces.
Toward the 1000 antichrist
will be made manifest. His army
will surpass in number anything
that can be imagined. There
" i'll be Christians among the CO.
horts and there will be Moham.
medans among the defenders of
the lamb as we'll as some heath
en- soldiers.
For the first time the lamb will
be red-for blood will flow in the
domains for the four elephants
at once.
The black eagle will hurl itself
upon the cock, whom will lose
many feathers. 1t will soon be
exhausted, but for the leopard
and its claws.
The black eagle, who will come
from the land of Luther, will
make a surprise attack upon the
cock,
The white eagle will come from
the north.
The black eagle will find itself

William r. Denman of this city, 9 well known attorney and twice candi- date fer prosecuting attorney, had a narrowing experience with the sha- dovs in the river bottom between the mouth of Garland creek and Bierne yesterday afternoon between six o'clock and dark.
 Mir Denman, accompanied by Mir Vandiver, left yesterday on a hunting expedition in the river bottom near Garland creek, in search fo the little fan tail nut experts and according to these gentlemen the hunt started off nicely. Mr. Vandiver going in one direction and telling his partner, Mr. Denman to take a route near the Yi,er and to keep one eye thereon, but it seems that the co-hunters became separated, Mir. Denman taking a for oiCn route and crossing Mir. Nandiver, which led him away from the river Mr. Nandiver after getting through with his hunting, began trying to To- cate the other hunter and after going over the route he had laid out for MT Denman, and searching shooting, yelling, etc, to no avail, he decided that the unlucky hunter had lost him self in his own county. Mr Nandiver went to d nearby house aud telc- ohoned to Prescott, but nothing had been seen of the said Mir. Denman and thee automobile loads of sympathiz- ing friends went cut in search of the lost hunter, but no success was had and finally they received a message by telephone that the object of their search had arhived .n Prescott on Missouri Pacific train No. 233 at 9:lS o'clock last night Mr. Denman says that he wandered, wandered and wan dered until he supposes he walked about 58 miles and the best thing he saw while on the trip was not an un- fortunate squirrel, but the lights O. the residences of Berne Clark coun- ty, which is about eight miles from the beginning of the hunt.
