He was not greatly impressed by the impending event in which he played the leading part and stoically showed the sheriff how to tie the hangman's knot and instructed him how to oil the rope and stretch it properly.
 Bigham was not above making a joke over the situation.

Beef, he said. "is one food that will diminish bit in price. There is not a great demand for fresh beef by foreign nations. They are using the smoked and cured American meats. but. as they have no big refrigeration plants like ours, they can't take our large supplies of fresh, beef''

1.-THE wild female coolies are making

another song. One also gathered that
there is something funny for soldiers
about canned salmon, third lieuten-
ants, military police, and the tendency
of officers to carve the shelter of dug
outs in times of shell strafng.
American officers and soldiers make
a very fine appearance about Paris,
and in other French towns where they
are stationed. There are no better
looking men in any army. English Of
ficers are known for their high-bred
and clean-cut appearance and for their

certainly not less to their countrymen.
Instead of the aloof, dignified, even
distinguished look of their British
cousins, their appearance and manner
betokens frank, open, unassuming

to cooperate in this National week,
and either next Sunday or Sunday.
Feb. %, will be given over to the
singing Of only American hymns in
most of the churches of the city.
Churches have found that this can be
done without cramping the variety of
their days songs, and most Of them
will give their music department of

Parker, Beach and other hymn writ
ers. American Song Week was first
started by the Educational Primary
