Each In His Placs.

Three men rose a. the sun came up.
Each worked in the place he found
One went out on the battle field,
One ts increase the harvest yfeld.
And one to the mill in town.
Three men weHt to the worldwide war;
Each brushed the sleep from his brow.
One fell into his place at drill.
One took his dinner and vent to the mill,
And one put his hands to the plow.
Three men toiled when the sun was higs,
A dust from the struggle rose.
One drove the enemy down to defeat,
One furnished rations of bread and meat,
And tho ether made their clothes.
The three lay down in the qsiet night;
The day had been nobly won.
For the one had finished his bit at the mill
One had toiled on hi. farm on the hill,
And one had stayed by his gun.

BILL.


Dear Dad-After the village of Bran
tries, which was so small it did not
even have one store, our present billet,
St. Denis des Piles, is city, almost,
by comparison. We got here day be-
fore yesterday and Immediately began
to look around for room for my pal
Slim Thickstun, and myself, and located
good room with bed four feet thick
in the home of the big boss Of the Will
age. We are sure fixed nicely. One
of his daughters is married to an Amer
ican, and we are giving her English
lessons and incidentally making very
good use of a nice, warm fire in the
living room. Since ii is freezing here,
the fire is more than welcome, and We
are spending most Of our spare time
by it. The father is barber, makes
wooden shoes, runs store and owns
half the town, and the wife rents rooms
to us Americans at franc a day and
washes our clothes and takes good care
OF us.
To get a drink Of water We have to
sneak to the we'll, for il she sees US
she comes running with bottle OF
wine. She says that il we drink cold
water We will debut she does not
say how soon. We go to bed about
$50 and get up when We have had
enough OF sleep-perhaps 8, 9, 10 or
II o'clock, as the notion strikes US. We
have nothing at all to do and We are
just eating and sleeping

A Homecoming.

An affecting little drama that a cor
respondent of the Associated Press
Witnessed a few months ago had doubt
less happier climax than has attend
ed many incidents of its kind through
out northern France.
While the American was motoring
on his way to the city Of Denain a
French officer requested a ride. AS
they journeyed on. the officer told the
correspondent that his former home
was in Denain; that he had left 1t
four years ago TO join the colors, and
that since his departure his wife had
given birth to baby girl. Home,
wife and child-what had been their
fate at the hands OF the German in
vaders?
On entering the city the streets OF
which were strewn with evidences OF
Hunnish devastation, the officer di-
rected the American toward his for
mer home. II had escaped destruc-
tion, and the car stopped across the
street from it. He approached and
with hands that trembled rang the
bell. -
No one answered. He backed away
like a man in trance and leaned
against the car, trembling. Suddenly
the door was opened, and an'aged wom-
an appeared. She was leading a
beautiful little girl by the hand. The
officer took one step toward the child
and then halted. He was stranger
to his own flesh and blood. The chile
hid behind the skirts Of the rarse,
peering out in fright. Undoubtedly
her mother had told her, during the
German occupation, that men in uni
form we're bad, and that she must
avoid them. The horizon-blue uni
form OF France meant nothing to her
But the half blind eyes Of the nurse
had recognized her master and she
held out her hands to him, repeating
"Monsieurl Monsieurl' In ecstacy. HI
