The Last Long Mile

4 Bit Of Real Art

which were the sectors out of which
poured the victorious host. Of that
outpouring, the accomplishment of
that "last long mile" we got very
stirring account from the type

in "The Evening Post" 1t was the

Then Nine. Chantel ended by no
longer worrying herself about his
attacks of melancholy. Ceasing to
try to console him by beautiful
phrases, she showed him life as it
was in reality-good fortune for
some, misfortune for others. Little
by little he forgot the war and
dreamed Of the day when he should
return to Paris to resume his civ
llian clothes and his former occupa-
ton. All constraint disappeared
from their conversation.
He spoke of the war, of the ad-
vancement of his former comrades
with such detachment that she asked
herself sometimes whether this in
difference didn't conceal deem
seated chagrin-if he didn't cherish
secret grudge against her for hav-
ing kept him out Of danger. She
sought to fathom his thoughts. But
he smiled so TRANQUILITY and sank back
into the depths of his easy chair
with such abandon that she felt en-
barrassed on his account and
changed the subject.
Almost unconsciously she became
less tender. He felt the change,
was alarmed by it and ended by
saying to her:
You are no longer the same. I
speak to you; you don't under
stand ME. You seem abstracted.

He tenderly kissed her fingertips.

Life took its ordinary course
again, beautiful with anticipations,
rose colored with hopes. Leaning on
Nine. Chantel's arm, he smiled at
his progress, measuring the distance
ne covered each day. After walking
around the house he made a tour of
the lawn, then of the garden. Finally
he opened the gate into the high
road. Nine Chantel followed his re-
covery joylessly. One day when he
had taken a longer walk than usual
he asked her:
"Aren't you glad to see me get
ting along SO well?"
She answered wasively:

He listened in silence. The slow
work Of the winter months had
borne its fruits, weakening his will,
dlluting his courage. He yielded.
Now, attached to a service in the
rear, he lived the petty and mar
row life Of garrison. From time
to time, when he received news
from the front, when he learned of
the decoration of a cemrade, he re-
membered his past ambitions and
regretted his too peaceable present.
Then he bent his head.
Oul MMe. Cnantel pressed his
brow upon her shoulder.
"Why torment yourself? You
have done all you could do"
Sometimes this assurance sufficed
him. But not always.
"What,' she murmured. "do YOU
regret having given me the satisfac-
ton of keeping you? Do you re-
gret having given me this proof of
your love-"
he caressed her hair, sighed and
turned his thoughts in other chan
nels.

EX 7 HILE General Pershing

w 7 H1LE General Pershing
wv was in New York he was
presented with a copy Of
an artistic volume Of war
cartoons, compiled and edited by
George j. Hecht and published by
E. ?. Dutton & Co. The book con-
talns one hundred cartoons by twen-
ty-seven Of the most prominent
American cartoonists, and, by vir-
tue of intelligent selection, really,
in a very glancing and, of course,
merely suggestive way, justifies its
claim: ga History Of the War"
Perhaps what most strikes one in
turning its pages is the real art with
which many Of the cartoons are con-
ceived and executed. The bulk, of
course, are Of the swift, telling,
caricature variety; inspirations
which came often at the eleventh
hour and which, to be timely and
newsy, had to be whipped very rap
idly into form for the engraver
But there are some, on the other
hand, which strike a deeper and
more permanent note.
On this page we find few Of the
latter sort, which bring back vividly
phases Of the struggle that now is
ended.
The compiler, in his introduction.
writes interestingly:
THE appearance Of cartoons in the
daily press is but a comparatively re-
cent occurrence. Half century ago
only a few national weeklies published
cartoons. Within tho last two decades,
however, the press has realized the
valus OF the cartoon in conveying a
message forcefully and instantane-
ously. At the present time there are
in the United States approximately 500
professional cartoonists drawing regu-
lxrly for daily newspapers and periodi-
Gals.
AT frst cartoons dealt largely with
politics, but within recent years the
tendency has been to broaden their
scope. Since 1914, cartoon'sts every
where have been drawing very largely
on the war subjects. Every phase Of
the struggle has been covered in the
millions of war cartoons.
Never in history has there been
presented so splendid an opportunity
for cartoonsts to demonstrate their
power. One cannot do credit to
powerful Springfield rifle if one has
nothing but squirrels at which to shoot.
'The cartoons in this volume were
drawn by men who are not merely art
lists, but keen observers carefully gaug-
ing the pulse of the times. What his
tory OF the war can be more stimuat-
Ing than this remarkably simple record
in cartoons? Here with few strokes
Of q cartoonist's crayon is portrayed

then moved to Birmingham, Ala,
where Mr.. Smith engaged in the
real estate business, being asso-
ciated with Mr.. Bethea. He was
very successful in his new ven
ture, and made money. About
twenty years ago Mrs. Smith died
and since that time. Mr.. Smith
had lived with his partner in
Birmingham, until recently when
he came to Brandon to spend the
remainder of his days with Mr..
and Mrs. Martin. Mr.. Smith was
a staunch Presbyterian, and the
Brandon Presbyterian church
and the splendid brick walls
that protect it are the results of
his efforts, he being the prime
mover in their construction. He
lived a, pure life, and was not
afraid to die. The funeral SER
vices occurred Sunday afternoon
at 5 O'clock, the last sad rites
conducted by Rev. j. E.. McJunk-
in, of Forest. His remains were
laid to rest in the Brandon GENE
terry.

Johnston, a leading candidate for
governor, who was in the city for
the purpose of meeting his speak

in the evening. He was an in
terested spectator, but took no
part in the proceedings.
An aboritive effort was made to
put through a resolution sent
from Prentiss County to arrange
the date for the first primary for
the first day of August, which
would be Friday, instead Of Tues
day the 5th. It was pointed out
that the Tuesday date would
seriously clash with the circuit
court session at Bonneville,
which convenes Monday, August
a.. The majority opinion was op-
posed to this, and a substitute,
fixing the date at Tuesday. Aug.
Is, was eventually adopted, the
second or runoff to follow on
Tuesday, August, 10.
A much bigger question for
discussion was that pertaining to
the qualifications of those who
would be admitted to participate
in the Democratic primary, and
the construction and application
of the soldier voters and absen-
tees, under the statutes of 1917
and 1913, which developed some
sharp conflicts of legal opinion
as to the prerogative. of this COM
mittee.
