Among the letters from France that

The code of the German officers is,
never to surrender: but of course they
cannot live up to it. In a recent raid
a sergeant | know made a prisoner
of a German captain who, as they
walked to the rear, cursed his luck
in fluent French, saying that he was
caught unaWareS, that an officer never
surrendered, but fought to the end.

to run-a quick shot would save your
honor, and me the trouble of escorting

On the farm of Mr. James Cham

Champion, and often tossed round
stone, ball fashion, one to another
The same stone now lies in the yard,

eighties often speak of this rock and
identify it as the stone they used to
toss about to each other.
Today it will weigh about 300
pounds and lies near the spot where it
has lain for nearly a century. Some
