GAVE a. BOOK; GOT A HUSBAND
New York Girl Evidently Was AS
Sweet as Poetry Volume
She Donated.

New York.-When the "Books for
Soldiers" campaign was at it's height
early last year. Miss Hazel Bell Gill
bert of Sheepshead Bay. a daughter
of Detective Sergeant George P. Gill
bert of the bomb squad, turned in a
volume of poems.
The book, with her name OIL the fly
leaf. found its way to rest station
behind the firing lines, and there fell
into the hands of Lieut.. William J.
Edwards of the marine corps, who
wrote her letter asking her II she
were as sweet as the verses.
When he came home he called, and
apparently found her so, for they
were married the other day at the

UNSPOILED TRIBES OF AFRICA
English Traveller Pays High Tribute to
Morals and Behavior of Negroes
Whom He Met.

Summing up seven years of travel In
the interior of Africa, where the ma
tives are "uncorrupted by alcohol,
European morals, and the love of gain
either by fair means or fraud" an
Englishman, Mr.. e. To-day, speaks
very we'll indeed of the African negro.
In two crossings Of the Congo Free
State he met no tribe that was not
naturally good-tempered, and, in most
instances, hospitable and trustful."
Customs of course are different In
land where one may know the tribe
to which a man belongs by the design
that has been painfully embossed on
his skin. The traveller tells Of tribes
where all the women who would be In
the fashion paint themselves red from
top to toe, and are SO fond Of the color
that If a gift is given them they i'm
mediately paint it red also, Cannibals
he met, and people who live In houses
the door Of which looks like window,
and others, remote from the inventions
Of civilization, who transmit comph-
Gated messages over long distances by
signals on q wooden gong. Odd human
beings, as the rest of us hear Of them;
but the traveller left them with regret,
looking down from his steamer on the
crowd gathered when he was leaving
the Congo, "among whom there was
not one who was not my friend"
"Deke" was his name among. the ma
tives, and as he steamed away, there
stood his "dear black friends, waving
their hands, cloth, branches, and any
thing that came to hand, and shouting
in the native tongue, 'Good-by, Deke;

JOHNNY NOW IN "TRAINlNG"
See That the Course He ls

"Johnny" did not come marching
his return in an Iowa town. after a
certain fighting division returned from
France. The wife waited and won

To the waiting wife they had little In
formation to offer, except to say that
Johnny" had been wounded in battle.
that he had recovered and had come
home on transport.
IF disabled soldiers are given train
ing at the hands of the federal board
for vocational training" mused the
wife, "and Johnny was wounded, he
may ask for training, and-well, will
just write to the board asking them to
notify me IL Johnny does ask for
training"
A letter to the board brought back
information that Johnny" slightly
disabled. was about to take course
in training. The wife gathered few
clothes, boarded train and within
few hours walked in on Johnny"
Here is the place to insert a few
stars, exclamation marks, Interrogation
points, quotations galore.
There was a reunion. District voca-
tional officers will not talk. They
smile, but refuse to answer even the
most innocent questions. Their re-
ports do not indicate a sudden with
drawal from training of any veteran

wife is now on the job to see that
"Johnny" gets the training he applied
for and another sort of training taught
