Village Proud Of War Record.

The little Norfolk village of Old
Buckingham is proud of its war rec
ord Its total male population be-
tween the ages of eighteen and fifty
in 1914 was 264. OF that number no
fewer than ITO served with the forces
and 80 have given their lives for their
country.
Ia their honor memorial cross has
been erected on the village green, an
exact reproduction of the "cross of
sacrifice" designed by Sir Reginald
Bloomfield, R. A, for all British mil
ttary cemeteries abroad. The total
height from the ground line to the
top of the cross is "a feet 6 inches.
1t is built Of stone and the names of
those men of the village who fell in
the war are incised in gilt on the drum
below the base of the cross.
The sacrifice of Old Buckingham Is
typical of every British village.

COAST OVER c0BBLE STONES
Sport In Madeira Has Many Advan-
tages Over That to Which North
erners Are Accustomed.

Cobble stones may not appeal to the
uninitiated as ideal for coasting pur-
poses, but they admirably serve the
purpose. II all depends on how steep
is the hill the eobbles pave. In other
words, 1t isn't the material that makes
the slide" but the pitch of the slope.
Those of US who are accustomed TO
sliding down snow-clad hills, or tiny
ascents made slippery by ice know lit
tie Of the thrill a slide may possess.
For some measure of the delight in the
sport is frequently minimized by the
frigid air that rushes past our tinglng
ears and some measure Of the enjoy
ment is entirely lost by The chills that
grip our shiverlng bodies.
Imagine-if you can--the thrill OF
coasting down hill so steep that your
sled" flies over the cobbles much as
is would speed over crusted snow or an
Ice glare. Instead of icy air that al
most chills you to the marrow at the
thought, picture yourself in springtime
garments and famed by summer
breezes.
If you can imagine such a picture
you win have enjoyed at least some
part of the sport Of coasting In an
island where there is no snow or ice.
Down the cobble-paved road the sled"
flies. For ten minutes you flash along
In breath-taking rush, then you begin
to grow accustomed TO the speed and
the novelty of the sport and you take
time to look about you. But-like most
other enjoyments-justa as you're begin
ming really to enjoy 1t to the utmost
your coasting ends.
Where is this extraordinary slider
On the island of Madeira, which be-
longs to Portugal. and lies In the At
lantic ocean, off the coast of Morocco.

MANY KINDS, AND ALL GOOD
That Would Seem to Be the Verdict
of Humanity on the Great
Question of Pies

They were talking about pies and
discussing which was the best, and,
what we gathered from the cheerful
controversy, all were the best
The person who stood up for the
good old apple pie was just as eloquent
in his references to the peach or pump
kin pie. In fact, each person would
hurry through the praise of one kind
of pie in order to champion another,
which convinced US that of all the
varieties of food in this world the pie
is the blessedest.
Sometimes you will find man who
doesn't eat pie, but watch him. Pie is
a remedy for many distempers. We
one time cured ferocious sick head
ache with a quarter of mince pie, and
that, too, on the advice of physician.
One Of the party never heard of a
mulberry pie, and what barren life
she must have led. We are through
with the cherry pie era and with what
Joy 1t has filled the worldi We come
to the berry era, and first Of all there
is the huckleberry pie, which berry
has rescued from sunshine and soil all
the grace of the earth. If man does
not like q huckleberry pie, it is be-
cause the pie or himself has not been
well made The black raspberry pie
stands away uI on the snowy peaks of
perfection and for picnic purposes it is
unparalleled. When we eat raspberry
pie in the woods we feel that the
Dryads are feeding US from their lily
white hands.
There are other glorious pies, of
course but we must have room to say
that the glory of pie is in the grace
and charm of the cook. The pastry
depends upon her temper, and the pas
try is three-fourths of a pie. If we
were going to get married again, we
would arrange a pastry making con-
test, and the damsel that made the
best pastry we would marry-if we
could.-Ohio State Journal.

How a Hero Died.

dramatic incident In which a he
roic young officer faced death in SOL
dierly manner Is the climax of a true
story that recently appeared in Stars
and Stripes, the official newspaper of
the American expeditionary forces.
He was Francis NJ. Leahy of Law
renee. Massachusetts. and he had
served in the ranks before he won his
commission. He used to tell OF the
days when he was orderly to Captain
Pershing in the Philippines. One day
while he was resting with his men by
the wayside a German shell came
whizzing out of space just as the order
arrived that the regiment fall in and
move on.
The shell plowed up the earth and
stretched on the ground several men
who were just getting to their feet.
II hit the tree against which Captain
Leahy was leaning and snapped 1t OF
like a stalk OF asparagus. A piece Of
shell struck him In the back and tore
its way through his chest.
"Good-by. boysw he said, and his
head sagged forward
Then 1t was as If, somewhere in the
universe, an invisible commander had
called, Attention Captain Leahy
raised his head. With clearing voice
he called the name of the officer next
In command.
Lieutenant Hansen" he said, "the
command Is 'Forwardr See the boys
through"
Then he died.

$4,000, 100000 of this was loans to our
