THE LITTLE FARM.

Upon this little farm so long,
Let's stay here till we die.
You know l thought I'd sell it once
To Jones, or Deacon Brown,
And take the money we have saved
And buy a house in town.
But when the buds begin to swell,
And grass begins to grow,
Somehow it doesn't seem to me
ought to let it go.
love the crimson clover,
And the fields of waving corn;
The quiet, balmy evening,
And the fragrant, dewy morn
The pink and snowy blossoms
Hanging on the apple trees;
The chirping of the crickets,
And the humming of the bees.
| love the summers honey breath,
The blushing buds Of May;
The teeming autumn, rich with fruit
The scent Of new-moWn hay;
The noisy babble of the brook,
And laughter OF the rilI:
The lowing herds upon the heath.
And flocks upon the hill
And when think of leaving all.
1t fills me with alarm;
So. after all, / guess it's best
TO keep the little farm.

Chicago.-"The Germans must strike

Macleod, second in command Of the
Forty-ninth Canadian battalion, and
one of the veterans Of the hardest
fighting the Canadians have seen in
France, in letter to Capt. A. Wal
lace Owen Of the British Canadian re-
cruiting mission In this city. Captain
Owen Is attached to the Forty-ninth
battalion.
"All we can do is to say, Let the bat
tie commence" the letter continues.

or the French. There never has been

Pleased With Americans.
Every one Is very much pleased
with the Americans over here. They

and men, and their manners and atti-
tude leave nothing to be desired. Once

slaughter which has been In progress
for over three years the Germans and
ourselves are beginning to show the
strain. We see it In the type Of off,

Our training possibly counteracts to
q certain extent this loss of physique,

German Tactics Simple.
Il do not think that we are at the
last ditch by any means. We have
been in tight corners before, and will
no doubt sweep our way out Of the
present one. A German offensive put
on simultaneously against the French
and ourselves at the present time
would, however, make it fairly stiff
going.
Il doubt, however, If the German is
really sufficiently strong to do this:
l. e., two determined sustained offen-
sives. That he will use diversiye tao
tics Is probable. He must finish the

all we can do is to meet the blow when
1t comes, or, possibly anticipate that
blow by one Of our own. The German

HosU "The Hungry
Fish" Underwent
A Meta,1orphosis

When Cyril Harcourt's comedy, "a
Pair of Petticoats," was in rehearsal
its title was "The Hungry Fish," but
after an experience which Mr. Har-
court had at Sixth Avenue lobster
palace he changed the name in the
haste of panic. He had gone to the
restaurant with Norman Trevor, his
leading man, and ordered shad roe for
lunch. When the morsel came it was
so far from appetizing that he told
the waiter to remove it instantly and
bring the bill, he and Mr. Trevor being
then SO short Of time that they had to
content themselves with crackers and
coffee.
The bill, however. included the re-
jected item. Mr.. Harcourt refused to
pay it, and the waiter ran into the
