The Word That Cheers a Soldier Lad. Oh, tell us story about France, Uncle?
 We'll let me think a minute, Here's the one he told us:
 One day we were going to have a. battle with the enemy. All stood ready for battle. Some were a little afraid. One young lad stood very brave. We all took interest in him.
 When he was asked why he was not afraid. He said: Why should I be afraid? I've got a mother praying for me in America. The words that cheer i soldier lad.
 am sure we will win the day.
 The words of mother cheered many Ollier. By these words all fear 2nished No one was afraid to meet pr euCn-
 Ihis l; $ words gave so much cour- Sgc to the soldiers that they fought bfaver than ever. So that they could soon return to their praying mothers. The joy in each soldier's heart made them fight harder, that they might the sooner return to their mothers.
 The words that cheer a soldier lad are mothers prayers, and that cheer made them win the day.

 It was an excellent supper consist ing of turkey, mashed potatoes. mashed turnips, all kinds of cakes, ice cream and cranberry sauce.
 The boys who have returned collect ed little sum of money secretly by themselves and had it changed into gold and presented it to Rev. Father Keefe at the time, for his kindness, and the sympathetic letters they received from him while overseas. They thought they would repay him some way, so they presented him a purse of gold at this time.
 They had singing and dancing after the supper; and they enjoyed the eve ming.

The Sparrow's Way.

Once there were three men who were always doing things the wrong way. One day they chopped down a tree to carry to their homes. In those days there were high walls all around the city. Tn t' tried to carry the tree cross ways through the gateway They found that it would not go through.
 Then what do you think they were going to do? They said: We will have to tear down the gate"
 Just then sparrow flew by, carry ing straw by one end so that the oth- CT end trailed behind.
 They said: Look at the wise spar row. Let us carry our tree that way"
 So they tried and they succeeded. This was the end of their troubles.

DON'T LIKE FREE LOVE
RUSSIAN WOMEN REFUSE TO BE
cOMMUNIZED.
Strange Men Raid Villages and Alb.
duct Girls in the Name of
the Law.

London, April 23.-The law provid-
ing for the naturalization OF women
In Northeast Russia has been suspend
ed in one province as the result Of
popular Outcry, according to informa-
ton reaching London from Stockholm.
The commissary Of Vladimir by de-
cree has appointed a committee Of
women who are to inquire into the OPP
erations of the law and make a report
with the least possible delay. His &C
ton. The system provides that every
soviet.
The Krasnaya Gazeta publishes an
account of the results of nationaliZa-
ton The system provides that every
girl on reaching the age of eighteen
must register her name in the bureau
of free love, after which she is COM
PEELED to select partner from among
men between nineteen and fifty years
old. The law led to lamentable con-
fusion, says the Gazeta, in judicial
notions as to personal inviOlability."
A few days after the soviet's decree,
which women very generally ignored,
two men known to nobody arrived in
the town and seized the two daughters
of a "well-known nonburgeois COM
rade," declaring they had chosen
them as wives and that the girls with
out further ceremony must submit, as
they had not observed the registration
rule.
Comrades Rablonowsky and Curl
agin," who sat as judges on the claim,
decided the men were right, and the
girls were carried off. They have not
since been heard of by the village folk.
This, says the Gazeta, was done in
the name OF the naturalization Of
women.
Many other instances of the fantas-
tic operation of the law, not to speak
of the inhumanities, are cited by the
Gazeta. Enthusiastic for nationalist
ton, males raid whole villages, seize
young girls and demand proof that
they are not over eighteen. AS this
proof is difficult to give, many of the
girls are carried off and there have
been suicides and murders as a re-
suit.
In the town of Kovrov a campaign
without parallel since the Trojan war
was waged between the vengeful rela-
tives of an abducted nationaliZed girl
and her prosecutors.
In this town the Register of

December 1, but on February 1 last,
only two women, both over forty, and
neither of whom had ever been mar
ried, registered themselves as willing
to accept the first husband the state

Archangel, April 23.-By an advance
of 20 miles southwark paralleling the
Murmansk railroad line Russian troops
operating with the allies have reached
a point within easy striking distance
of Lake Omega, which is connected by
lakes and canals with Petrograd.
The advancing troops attacked
Vojmosalma, 80 miles east of sUros-
odero, April II, and took the village.
They then pursued the bolsheviki
down the main road toward Povienets.
The enemy made a stand at Ptrovinki
and Yam, but were attacked, % of
the bOlsheviki being captured and the
enemy suffering a large number of
casualties in killed and wounded. The
allies casualties were light. Continu-
ing their slow advance down the Muir
mansk railroad the forces of the al
lies now are approximately ten miles
south of Urosodero.

won't You Come and Call on Me?"
spiders aren't the only ones, will often
really admire another creature much
more who keeps to his own sensible
ways than to let himself be cOaxed in
to doing something very foolish"
"There are many flies who have COM
pound eyes, many eyes, double eyes,
eyes, eyes" said the fly.
"And there are many-eyed spiders,
too" said the spider.
At this some more spiders and
flies Joined them and the spiders
all began to ask the flies to talk the
subject over in a more friendly fashion,
but the wise fly was there to keep them
from accepting the invitation.
"They say" said the spider, that
our eyes aren't as fine as the eyes of
people who only have one pair Of
eyes,"
''Why is that?' asked the fly. "That
seems rather strange"
Because" said the spider "Our eyes
are fixed in their different places and
people can look in all directions with
their eyes, sideways, upwards, down
wards and all over. They can really
do very well with one pair of eyes
apiece.
"And it is all because their eyes
are SO movable"
"They can't take them out and have
them in the back of their heads one
moment and in the front the next, can
they?" asked another spider.
'No," said the spider, "they can
merely move them around in the reg
ular places for eyes so that they can
see all around them. But they can
move their heads so they can see what
is behind them.
"Ah, these are the days when there
are our cocoons to be found under
stones and on top of walls, and there
the mother spiders are Matching lots
of little pink eggs which will become
spiders, too.
ut is the spring, you see, flies and
spiders, and the spring is the time of
the year when new things come, new
flowers, new spiders, new leaves on the
trees"
Just then a caterpillar crawled
along.
"Good morning" said the caterpil-
lar. And the others ell politely said,
"Good morning"
81 heard you talking about cOcOons,"
said the caterpillar to the spider, "and
I wonder if you are as shy as we are
when we make our cocoons. We don't
like to be watched and we will not
work when we are being watched"
you're very shy" said the spider.
I'VE aren't so shy as all that"
'We're too shy to call on you in
your parlors," said the fly, buzzing and
grinning.
yes, you're too shy" said the spi-
der. ''much too shy, and altogether too
sensible"
