A Full Graduate.

The Advertiser only stated a part
of the truth last week when we an
nounced that Charlie Porter was at
home for his vacation, having COM
pleted his second year at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. Instead Of
two years, Charlie entered this insti-
tuition three years ago and has made
tn fine record of completing this
course, being a full graduate, in three
years. This is record of which any
young man should feel proud. He has
reflected honor upon his country and
State. Scores and hundreds of young
men fall short of graduation from
Annapolis in four years on account
of the very high standard, and when
one completes the course in three
years he deserves all of the commen-
dations and congratulations that can
be heaped upon him.

ander, then passed the building that
they were holding the peace confer
ence in. We waited while to see
President Wilson come out, but got
tired waiting and went home.
Next morning we went over and
saw the tomb of Napoleon in great
building. From there we went to see
the "World's War;" the greatest oil
painting in the world. 1t gives pic
ture of all the allied armies, and all
the battlefelds of France. You can
pick out all the leading men of the
armies. 1t is about S5 miles from here
to Paris and on the background of
that picture / could see the little
town of Toul and Metz and read the
names on the picture. / have some
post card views of these paintings
which l am sending, but they are not
oil paintings. This picture was over
70 feet high and over 800 feet in cir
conference, the greatest picture in
the world. 1t took nineteen artists
four years to paint this picture. All
it lacks of being finished is the date
of peace being signed and there is a
space reserved for that. From there
we had dinner at the Y. NJ. c. A. then
went over to Versailles, went through
the palace of Louis 14th; that was
some place. In every room most of the
walls had oil paintings on them.
In this place was in the room that
peace is to be signed. had my hands
on the table that peace is to be sign
ed on. The grounds around this palace
were grand. There l saw the largest
fountain in the world. 1t took me all
night to go, and most all day and all
night to return. On the way home l
saw trenches and barbed wire en-
tanglements, and scattered over some
of the fields were graves from the
battles of 1914.
I can tell more when / return.
Think I had better stop for this
time. Will write again soon.

Oh, the madamoiselle from St. Ma
zaire!
You'll have gay time if you ever
get there"
Cards and dice account for the
men on the next few beds and across
the way some boy is on his French
feathers all alone with can of jam
and loaf of bread-luxuries to be
shared with no one.
Of course bread was plentiful but
jam was not. As an instance: "What
night was it the Germans bombed US
in La Ferte?" "It was two nights af-
ter that night we had jam for sup
per-" came the answer.
Around the wee stove in the CEN
ire of the bowling alley small group
are arguing some fine points anent
the frefy's phosphoric candle
whether it is A. C. or D. C. current.
Why all that noise and shouting in
the far corner forward? Let US size
up the situation. Two beds of French
feathers are drawn alongside each
other and group of boys in circular
array on these, are seated on their
feet. In the centre of the group is a
folded o. D. blanket and in the centre
of the blanket is a white sheet of
writing paper. A cootie race is in
progress. The contestants dig into
their shirts and pick out strong
looking racer and name it for their
wives or sweetharts. Let this not sa-
YOUR of disrepect, for you see, in
France the cootie became part of
you Cor rather you part of herr, a
part of your existence. She stuck to
you through thick and thin-last to
go to sleep and first up in the morn
ing.
But to return-the sheet of paper
had small circle drawn in centre
and here the cooties were placed.
Naturally, the cootie scurried off the
white paper to hide herself in the
folds of the blanket. Sometimes when
one neared the edge and then chang
ed her course, the excitement grew.
Now, the cootie which reached the
blanket first brought in several two
bit pieces for her owner, and would,
of course, be in the next race. If a
cootie made her owner lose more than
twice, she was chucked off the race
track and the owner scanned his un-
dershirt for more promising steed.
The race begins anew.
Lights out" shouts the sergeant,

who so kindly honored US with an liz
vitation to enjoy their hospitality.
1t was loving and beautiful in Mr..
and Mrs. R. ". Broadwd!.r in cele-
brating their fathers birthday and it
showed their loyalty to him.
Nick Broadwater and l belonged to
the same regiment in the Civil War.
We followed Longstreet fr,m Manas-
sus to Appomattox and l honor him
for his patriotism anil courage On
the battlefield, but ! doubly honor
him for what ne did for my brother
after he had received mortal wound
on the bloody field of Sharpsburg.
All Of our wounded who could not
walk were captured, and it was Mex
Broadwater who, fer three weeks
bound up his wounds and bathed his
fevered brow and when death kissed
down his eyelids, Nick buried him
with his own hands, and for this act
of kindness Nick Broadwater has
been drawn to me as with hooks Of
steel. 4
Yes, we all carried sweet memo
ries home with US on this 18th BIRTH
day, wishing for him many more cele-
brations of the same kind. 1t was
day of JOY and mirth. Someone has
said 'mirth was a good tonic for the
blues, then we should bathe in the
pool of mirth daily.
And now let me say in your de-
clining life, may you enjoy the bright
sunshine of peace and contentment.
May the gates of plenty stand ajar
for you and yours; may the golden
bowl of health be full for each of you
like the pool in the valley where flows
the water from the springs hidden in
the heart of the hills. And may your
hearts be filled with sweet murmur
like unto silver fountain, stealing
forth mid bed of roses. And every
evening may each of you lie down in
the green pastures of Gods love and
by the still waters of His grace, where
the angel of the Lord will watch over
you until the morning comes.

md out thew 90. right in the midst of

and out they go, right in the midst of
a race.
All the boys 60 to bed and some be-
gin to snore and hob-nail shoes begin
to fly their way. The snorer wakes
and gazes round but knows not
whence the hob-nails came. He lays
his helmet on his head lest he should
snore again and quietly sinks to sleep.
What means that tent-shaped blan-
ket in the corner? Had you access to
the scene beneath you would see
three or four boys-one with a candle
in his hand-and a folded blanket
spread before them. On the blanket
a white sheet Of paper-that cootie
race is being ruin to a finish. And if
you don't believe the game is inter-
esting, suppose you get IA chinch

MIR. and Mrs. r. N. Broadwater
Celebrated Seventy-Ninth
Birthday of Their Father

Behold how good and how pleasant
it was for friends to meet together
at Nick Broadwater's!
This was demonstrated on Sa!ur-
day the 18th, when MIR. and Mrs. R.
N. Broadwater celebrated their. faith
er's 10th birthday. The following
guests were invited: R. E. Broad

M. W. Clark, W. T. Walton and wife,
P. C. Stevens and wife, Mrs w. P.
Stevens, Jas. B. Tomrkins and N L.
Broadwater who has been serving in
the navy for two years.
The day was an ideal one, and the
welcome was unbounded, everybody
was made to feel at home. The soft
zephyrs that foated through the
leaves of the stately oaks whispered
welcome. Their electric currents pro-
claimed happy greetings. Every coun-
tenance was filled with benign pleas
ure. Both men and nature with one
acclaim whispered kindliest greeting.
It is a great treat for these old fell
lows, upon whose head the snow that
never melts hath fallen, to meet and
tell of their adventures, close calls
and final escapes during the bloody
struggle of the Sixties" which, at
the time, were not laughable but now
they are enjoyed with pleasure.
Everybody enjoyed this 18th day
of June from every angle. About
twelve o'clock our hosts announced
dinner and we were ushered into the
large dining room and on the table
everything was there that would sat-
isfy the longings of the inner r,an

SOLDIER OVERSEAS.
Stanmore Townes Gives Inter.
esting Description of Life
of a Soldier in Over
seas Service.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
When the armistice was signed and
the "March to the Rhine" completed,
the American soldier in France and
Germany resorted to more or less odd
Games to while away his leisure
|zours.
i; In both countries troops were oft
EN- quartered in bowling alleys-the
balls and ten pins removed.
Imagine bowling alley in France
with a cement floor. Some seventy
five soldiers could be biileted in one
'of these. Each man was given small
mattress which he filled with French
feathers, (hemlock boughs) and the
mattresses were laid about a foot a.
part in two rows-one on each side
of the alley. Such was your couch,
but a marked Improvement on the
wartime bed.
Let US take little walk through
the quarters. On the first couch two
boys are indulging in the modest
game of checkers, each move taken
with such precaution that one would
think a can of tobacco hung in the
balance. On the next bed comrade
is writing to his mother, while on the
next a long-absent lover is trying to
|answer a letter from his sweetheart
that contained a ditty which ran a.
long like this:
s"My bonnie lies over the ocean,
Ny bonnie lies over the sea
He has girl in Belgium,
Another in 'Paree,'
] And i know the little things he tells
/: them
LAS they sit upon his knee
SOh. unei A------ -honriA liac over the
