Touring the Battle Front.

6PHE Cooks tour man has been in Eu-
rope looking the western battle front
u over, and he announces that it is pos,
sible to make the entire tour in one day.
When the long months during which the
tides of battle swept over this region are
considered, it seems fairly impossible that,
even under the best Of travelling conditions,
the ground could be covered in so short
time. Nor does it seem as if it should be.
1t seems, rather, as if this were holy
ground, to be approached as such; that
deep sense of the sacrifices made to redeem
it from the intruder should protect it from
the intrusion Of the idly curious, the hur-
rying traveller, who goes merely to say that
he has been there rather than to become a
broader, more understanding person be-
cause of what he has seen.
1t will be at least year, furthermore,
before the trip is feasible. The country it.
self is still well-nigh impossible. Food
and hotel accommodations are uncertain
And more than this, hearts over there are
too sore to make the wealthy, Indifferent
folks in their shining motors very welcome.

This is the story of boy who found out
what he wanted TO do. And when one
finds that out he has found himself, and,
probably as great happiness and usefulness
as he Is capable Of
IL is n story very like the old one you
have heard many times. Yet we like to
hear it over and over Especially when it
is true. And this particular story is true.
A good many years ago there was boy
of poor parentage who worked in the coal
mines in England. He received little educa-
ton, only such as the meagre schools of
that time and place afforded.
At nineteen he came TO America He
landed in Doquoin, a mining town of Illi-
nois on n Friday. BY the following Monday
he was down in n coal mine at work
When he had been employed a little
while, one day he heard the whistle blow
to stop work, and discovered that in this
country the coal mines were operated only
two or three. days a week in summer
This left him with several days unoccu-
pied. His companions put in their leisure
time loafing. playing and drinking.
This boy. 10 Harker was his name had
however. been born with desire TO KNOW
lie wanted 10 go TO school. but could not
afford il. Then he said to himself:
well, all that teacher does is TO ask
you questions and scold you if you don't
know the answers. ! will ask myself uues-
tons. and I'll look up the answers. and III
scold myself even more roundy that a
teacher"
