When the allies entered the village
of Murvaux the rest of the story was
learned from the peasants. The Amer

disablement of his machine to descend

his machine gun to the extent OF kill

good, only the pre-war prices had
changed for the worsel The beautiful

fore. The carlton is still peallng in

All PIodders.

I have known several men who may
be recognized In days to come as men
Of genius, and they were all plodders,
hard-working, intent men. Genius is
known by its works; genius without
works Is a blind faith, a dumb oracle.
But merftorious works are the result
Of time and labor, and cannot be ac-
complished by intention or by a wish.
Every great work Is the result of
time, of vast preparatory training.
Facility comes by labor. - George
