near Lynn recently.
McMillion was one of a party of
state police who had gone from Mate

committed on a non-union miner nam

to their station, fire was opened on
them by riflemen hidden in the thick
ly-wooded hills and armed with high
power rifles.
The trooper fell at the first volley
and his comrades, Private Swift, Nc
Coy and Richards sought cover and
returned the fire. McMillion died
shortly after being removed from the
scene of the conflict.

money was found sewed in the lin

Further Table Manners of a Toad.

The story OF a Toad's Manners in a
recent issue Of The Companion brings
to readers mind the following ex-
perience of his own.
In lawn on which I was working,
he writes US, there was a hole. with
tall grasses and weeds round the
edge. II made a fine place for two
ugly fat yellow spiders to spin their
webs in. Looking into the hole one
day, ! saw a small dusty toad resting in
the shade. With stick I poked the
larger spider until she dropped into
the hole. Running round the bottom
she seemed always to avoid the toad,
! chased the spider forward, and with
characteristic quickness the toad swaI.
lowed it. Although the insect was
three quarters his size, the toad man.
aged everything but the feet
! poked the other spider, which ran
all over the bottom OF the pit and even
over the toad's head, but no amount of
coaxing would induce the toad to eat
her. An hour later went back to the
hole, and the legs of the spider still
formed a fringe round the toad's
mouth.

Red Cross Aids Soldiers

One hundred and forty-four thou
sand, nine hundred and ninety-four
men who served in the armed forces
of the United States during. the
World War have been aided in their
fight to get back to normal life in
the past six months by chapters of
the Southern Division of the Amer
lean Red Cross. During the same
period 21,2S0 disabled soldiers, still
in the service, largely men who are
recovering in government hospitals,
have been pledged through the same
agency. These figures were given
out by the Southern Division Head
quarters for the first half year of its
operations.
In great percentage of these
cases, it was this work of the Red
Cross, which permitted the veteran
