What Was on the Arm.

A story comes from "Over there
about a bear cat" as the negro sol
der is called by the fighting men, who
raided a Hun machine gun nest and
wiped them out After the raid one
of the negro soldiers was found search
ing the battlefield.
"What you looking for, man?" in
quired another bear cat" with some
curiosity. .....
I'm looking for nah arm" was the
reply of the first soldier.
Then the inquisitive one observed
for the first time that his buddy's left
arm had been shot away. THAT there
arm amt going to do you any good
any more even if you do find It," the
inquirer said.
st amt. eh," retorted the wounded
man. "It amt the arm l wants so
bad" he continued, hut it's the wrist
watch on it," And he renewed his
investigation.

Toe Easy,

Two children were trying TO decide

no, let's not play that" said one in an.

And the child who had suggested the

If even small children realize that a

not grumble if something a little diff

One of the incidents of the newspa-
per business that makes the average
editor heart-heavy and disguised is
the loss of friends through uninten-
tional mistakes. This has been often
commented upon. An editor may week
after week, and through years, pay
deserving compliments to a friend
about his personal and professional
merits, and yet, if the editor ever
prints anything that can, in any way.
be construed into a reflection upon
that friend or his business, the latter
becomes deeply offended and with
draws his friendship. The editor does
his best to please not only his friends,
but everybody else, for he knows his
living depends upon his giving general
satisfaction; and when he fails in his
honest efforts, as he often does, he
feels that he has been a fool for ever
having embarked in the newspaper
business. This, therefore, is to warn
every one who may be tempted to en-

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

In the death of Theodore Roosevelt,
the world gives up one of its central
figures. He was big man, one who
commanded the respect of all. No man
has ever surpassed him in the faculty
and ability to draw and hold the at
tention of people. 1t was largely
through his influence that the Panama
canal became an established fact and
the destinies of the nation established.
He was potent factor in winning the
Spanish-Amerlcan war. His admins
tration as governor of New York was
one that could be identified with his
general characteristics as an execu-
tive end man. AS president of the
United States he stands among the
greatest in the history Of the nation.
AS traveller, author and statesman,
his name will pass into history as one
of the foremost and most influential.
He upset precedents, formed policies
and influenced governments as never
was done before. His intellect in the
present administration of the nations
affairs has been acknowledged in
many instances as a guiding influence
toward the accomplishment of the
great victory.
Theodore Roosevelt's name will go
on record in history as that of one
of the greatest men the world has
ever produced.

THAT TOWEL

When ! think of the towc1,
The oid-fashioned towel,
That used 10 hang up by the printing
house door,
] think that nobody
In these days of shoddy
Can hammer iron to wear as it wore.
Tho tramp who abused it,
The devil, who used it,
The makeup and foreman, the editor
tpOor many,
Each rubbed some CRIME off
While they put a heap on.
In. over and under,
Twas bIacller than thunder.
Twas harder than poverty, roughey
than sin;
From the roller suspended,
1t never was bended,
And it tapped on the door like ban
ner of tin.
It grew thicker and rougher,
Harder and tougher,
And daily put on an mixer hue.
TIL one windy morning,
Without any warning,
1t fell on the floor and was broken in

THE MAN IN OUR BLOCK
The Danger of Going to Church

" ~
Our readers have heard from "The
Woman in Our Block" and none have
stopped taking the paper, so we are
going to tell some facts about ''The
Man in Our Block" who, contended
with "the Woman" that it was dan
gerous to SO to church on cold morn
tings and was finally allowed to stay
at home provided he would stay at

the. word used by "the woman, so
''the man" stayed at home and crest

ing few chores which, enumerated
from memory-and memory fingers
were as follows: Arose from our

time to p2rtake before hitting the
long cold trail to the church where
she operated torture box from which
is supposed to issue music, and said
her prayers-probably praying for
the man" who contended that it was
dangerous to go to church-while "the
man" proceeded to clean up the dishes,
sweep the floors and make the beds,
besides feeding those d eggless
hens and 70 fires, and feeling sor',y
for "thc woman" who was at church
and who did not get back until one

man" from sending out general
alarm for ''one perfectly good wife,
lost between church and home"
! But to prove our contention that it
/ is dangerous to so to church VIC must
finish telling the facts
, The woman" arrived home o. X. and

an appetite for q lovely pork roast

box, where there was no ice eve don't

fine when the phone rang and in a

yard, in his pajamas (and it was av-
fully colD, trying to coax those egg

them hot mush, to come and get his

we saw the porl, roast and 'taters

passing up our mornings cold plunge
(for it was then afternoon). The
guests arrived and eats were forgot

about the waist. We thoroughly en-
joyed the afternoon, for we learned
jail the girlhood "pranks" of "the
woman"
But, again, we have failed to show
where the danger in going to church
lies, so we will remark: Suppose "the
man" had gone to church with "the
woman; wouldn't the house have pre-
sented nice appearance to the
guests, who went from end to end
of it?
"Fellow citizens" especially you Of
the male persuasion. won't you agree
with Us that it is dangerous to go TO

Suicides Among japanese Students.

According to Rev DR.. Sidney L.
Gulick, who lived long in the far East,
suicides anask Japanese students are
probably &BrS sreralent than among
any other students ir the world. The
causes he mentions are. first, the high
strung nerves and exceptional sensi-
tivenesS to anything that Nay be re-

second the extraordinary competition
among students to secure places In

"Some of the small fellows
are not pleased at what this paper
(the I. j. has said about Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The most know
ing man in the course of the long
est life will always have much to
learn; and the wisest and best
much to improve. The fellow
who is always looking for mis-
takes on the part of others is sure
to make glaring ones himself. and
he naturally brings more censure
upon himself because he is so
critical OF others. II is easy to
criticise the man who carries re.
sponsibilities when we have none
of our own. Let US put ourselves
in the other fellows place before
being so free with our criticisms.
Envy is almost the only vice that
is practical at all times and in

can never lie quiet for want of If
ritation; its effects, therefore, are

That element of wondering and
uncertainty is perhaps one of tie
greatest reasons of the army's
facination. Just now we are
sitting here on the lines, as We
held them on the 18th, only
about seven miles from the near

are to go forword snd become a
part of the Army of Occupation,

in three or four days. l took a
great trip to Germany the other

and grand town, beautiful church
and very old; a fine old chateau,
used as German headquarters.

never forget arriving at the

But too, l am glad of my exper-

over, but up here at the front
there is little hilarity, everybody
is solemn and thoughtful and full
of pity for those who could not
live to fee the glorious day of
final victory, but they have not
died in vain. In the back areas
they are having a great time;
the flags are flying; they say

the villages up this way, and
cities, are all shell torn, deserted,
and partially destroyed. Some
