silk Thread for chiIdrens, Wear.

Always sew children's wear with A
No. I quality silk thread-the best to
be had. In the long run it will prove
the best paying investment in your
childrenss clothes that you have ever
hit upon. SILK thread is stronger
than cotton; it does not roughen in
the laundering nor is 1t so brittle and
inclined to break off or snap in the
seam In ginghams, percales and 9th
er fabrics of children's wearing APP
parel the silk sinks deep into the
mesh Of the goods and holds far bet
ter with a thread of similar quality
and texture as the apparel. Numerous
mothers have vouched for the value
of this practice.

The second suit is of gray wool We
lours, with rose-colored yestee Ct
eombed wool, which is smart detail
that lends its character. Besides its
yestee, this suit takes advantage of
the vogue for small buttons set in a
row, to proclaim its allegiance to the
DEGREES of fashion. It is perfectly tail
ored and has practical pockets to
recommend it to the tailor-made girl.
Its wearer is correct in the matter Of
shoes to wear with it, selecting low
heeled oxfords, and brilliant rough
straw hat crowns the costume per-
fectly.

THE eEEFERs ABROAD.
BY Sergt. Leonard r. Jackson,
Co. II, S15th Pioneer Inf. Reg.

BY Sergt. Leonard r. Jackson,
Co. II, S15th Pioneer Inf. Reg.
In time of peace when all was still
These knockers hung around;
When times were good, when times
were bad,
They made that doleful sound.
But now there is no peace,
We are soldiers one and all,
And still l hear that same old noise
From bugle call to call.
How these boys meet life's blessings
Is very strang indeed.
They will sing the blues in spite of
fate
With every need.
They burn their shows and then want
more,
The chow don't eat just right;
The coats too large, the shirts too
small,
The breaches fit too tight.
One day they drill, mex day they
won't,
The Captain raises sand;
Some day he'll fill the guard house up
With every soldier man.
And if l am out (Tll try to be-,
I'll hear just what they say;
l guess they'll think their God is false,
That there is no use to pray.
They can sing and pray, these won
derful men;
God loves them, l am sure;
They can steal and gamble just as
well,
Then cuss and pray some more.
They won't get up for reveille,
They are sick till the meat horns
blow,
Now then they run from far and near,
Mess is one formation sure.
Now after this, not to the road
On the sick list they will go,
And when marked duty hear them
cry,
What makes him treat us so?'
AS this all haps, I'm in the vineyard
Working hard and true,
Without time or reason to complain,
| have something else to do.
I will not bother my good officers
With useless kicks like these;
The only things that worry me
Are the "cooties" and the "fleas."

THE MESS LINE AND KIT.

THE MESS LINE AND KIT.
BY Sergt. Leonard r. Jackson,
Co. H, S15th Pioneer Inf. Reg.
We are a Company of the S15th,
Organized in Funston town.
We have cut no shine, on the battle
line,
But on another We have great re-
nown.
We have had quite a bit of training,
At drilling we are not slow,
But any old time we hit a mess line
Something has got to go.
The German General, Won linden
burg,
Could drive man-power some;
He could take a hill against the AL
lies will
And not a man would rum.
He formed a line that was so strong
1t held for three years or more
But I'll tell you now, had it led to
chow
We would have broken it long ago.
Kaiser Bill was a greedy boy,
He took a bite that was too big;
He sicked his Hindenburg dog on a
full grown hog
He thought it was a pig.
Now we never had a chance at Hin
%denburg's line,
And | don't know what we would do,
But they are wasting time with the
old mess line,
For we will break it half into.
No %wander-lust brought us across the
sea,
1t was our Uncle Sammy's needs;
The time was then that noble men
Were Joined in nobler deeds.
Now we wonder when we will get
back home,
We would certainly like to go,
But the time is not long, it's just like
a song
Hark! The old mess Whistles blow.
When the long hikes on the stony
roads
Caused pains down in u feet,
We share our troubles with the old
mess kit,
