THE CENTAUR OF THE SKY

IN DAYS of old the Centaur bold,
Half man, half horse, appeared,
A concentrated Hercules,
With curly hair and beard.
We read of him in olden tales.
OF times when earth was young,
And thought him nothing but a myth,
BY ancient poets sung.
But see. above the silver clouds,
In weather foul or fair,
At dizzy speed behold n steed,
Careering through the air.
Half human, half machine, it scars,
In spaces far and high
The airplane-wonder of the world
And Centaur of the sky:
-Minna Irving, in New York Herald.

to %patrolling the forest by day.
Everyone that lived in the forest
was glad to think the Hawk family
would be their friends, because many
of them had been afraid of the
hawks, When Mrs. Hawk flew away
they gathered at the edge of the
forest to e the flight. She few with
much ease into the air, up, up, higher
and higher until all they could see
was q. tiny black speck against the
sky. She seemed for a moment to be
fastened to the sky. +
Then suddenly she began to de-
scend much faster than she few away.
Down, down. down-the forest dwell
lers were frightened at her sudden
approach from far beyond the scat
came with such swiftness they were
afraid she was falling. to her death.
But when She came to the level of
the tree tops she spread her. wings
and slackered her pace.
MRS. Hawk has a great message
for the forest dwellers," said Tinker
Bob as he watched with patience the
maneuvcrs Npf the great forest bird:
"And as h m near, the forest
must listen and heed the great mes
sage. of her flight
She am neal to the forest dwell
lers and spoke Al with great
authority. 'I come with a message
from the great spirit that made us
all" They listened attentively as
she. continued to speak: The great
spirit is about to send the North
the trees. Jack Frost will bite the
thimble berry and the mandrake
apple and all the forest dwellers that
fly must 60 South to live, while the
great spirit Covers the North land
with snow and the rivers with ice.
Those that remain must fill their
homes with food SO they will not
starve while the North Wind sweeps
the barren field and shakes the leaf
less trees"
The forest dwe1lers listened to the
message from the great spirit and
said: What a great creature is this
, Hawk of the forest" They were
! glad, then. that the King had made

Now" said King Tinker Bob, "Do
not forget the message. but; go at

ware--do not finger until Jack Frost
bites your. toes"
They. listened gravely to what the

they returned to their home to pre-
pare for the North Wind that would

NEGRO TROOPS GUARD HUNS )
ZEALOUSLY WITH "STEEL'

ATLANTA, Cain the field artil-
lery training camp at Coequidan,
France, where the units of the Dixie
division, now stationed at Camp Cor
don, received their finishing touches,
there was large number of German
and Austrian prisoners at work or in
stockades. The southern men were
proud of the manner in which the
Negro Soldiers of the south guarded
the Hun prisoners.
There wasn't single chance in
the world for prisoner to get away
as long as Georgia Negro. equipped
with a bayonet, was on the job" said
one of the Savannah men in the 117th.
'The Negro guards made no bones
about their desire to be given the
opportunity of seeing what 'sho nuff'
bayonet fighting felt like, and the
German prisoners feared them worse
than they did anything on earth.
When a Georgia Negro guard ordered
Fritzie, at the point of bayonet, to
'lif dat garbage can to dat wagon and
show some speed Fritz gave exhibi-
tions of perfect obedience never wit
messed by officers of the kaiser.
"Three or four hundred Hun pris-
oners were often assigned to single
guard and never one attempted to
get away. In the first place they
were well fed and housed and were
much better off than they were in
the German army, and in the second
place they had mortal dread of cold
steel and a tremendous respect for
the Negro's ability to use it.
while fearing the American Negro
soldiers worse than they did the kai-
ser, the Fritzies were deeply inter
etsed in the singing of the colored
roops. When file of singing col
ored soldiers marched by where the
Hun prisoners were working industry
was suspended while the prisoners
listened in amazement
"One of them expressed to me his
intense surprise that such fighters
could sing SO beautifully

Alone upon a hill l stand,
Overlooking No Mans Land;
In nights black skies, like northern
lights,
Pale flashes rise to mark the heights,
Where deaths dark angel bears away,
The souls of men who have died to-
day.
Jesus of Nazareth, from thy cross,
Look down and comfort those who
toss
And scream with pain and anguish
dread,
In No Mans Land, among the dead;
Have pity for the wounds they bear,
Jesus of Nazareth, hear my prayer.
On Cavalry as the hours dragged,
Fom large, cruel nails thy body
sagged;
Yet in such agony, oh Lord,
Thou did give blessed comfort toward
One suffering soul, who with Thee
died,
He, who for sin, was crucifed.
Out here lie men who die for right
Jesus, be merciful tonight;
Wilt thou who stills the troubled
seas,
Stretch forty Thy hand their pain to
ease?
For many mothers son,
Whose feet have so nobly trod,
Earths battlefield for humanity,
Oh! Son of God.
