Those soldiers who bore the brunt of battle after severe training knew that the burden and conflict which they took up would have been unhearable without the physiques, due both to early and sol dier training which they possessed.
 With this incomplete outline of the dreams of the soldier, it is an added obligation on us, the living. to realize the finest, noblest dreams Of the many lads who, in France, Went West"
 An intelligent and comprehensive support of the education directing the footsteps of our youth can do more than any other action toward realizing bsse dreams.

LADY CLAIRE. Poem Lord Alfred
Tennyson. London. Aadam Sob & Co., Ltd.
Glasgow.
TDHIS was the original mixed baby"
case of which there is any recorded
history. OF course in earlier times
there was the case where two women claimed
the same child and took the matter to
Solomon for adjudication Since then women
have very frequently claimed children that
did not belong to them and in some in
stances they have been very successful. par
ticulary as every generation cannot produce
a Solomon. II is very probable that the
practice of kidnapping resulted from this
custom of claiming other peoples children.
We recently read of a case down in
Georgia where a woman had a whole house
ful of children which she had adopted from
time to time, and which she convinced her
husband were his. Frankly, we do not
understand how it could be done. and we
have always thought that the newspaper
men Of Atlanta let some detail of that story
get away from them However IL was so
printed and we so relate Il.
Now in this case Of Lady Claire it was
different. The real Lady Claire died in early
person and pretended that It was her own
baby who had died. This she accomplished
by paying the funeral expenses of the de-
ceasel infant and placing her own child in
the baby carriage Of Lady Claire and rolling
her up to the castle.
A long time afterward there came along
a young chap named Harold, who was lord

child, thinking she is his cousin, Lady Claire.
Lord Harold, it seems is the rightful owner
Of the property held by the child Of the
nurse.
The old nurse made a record for a woman
on Keeping a secret. She did not tell any
one what she had done until she was about
to bust" and then when she could not hold
in any longer she up and tells her daughter
all about Il. The false Lady Claire seems
to have acquired some notions Of false pride
from her associations with the mobiles Of the
settlement. She says she thinks a scurv'.
trick has been played on Lord Harold ana
that If the property really belongs to him
she proposes 10 return IL TO him.
Her mother. the old nurse. begs her not
TO spill the beans. Quite a scene ensues at
this point. u finally ends up by the old
nurse saying. "The man will cleave unto
his right" but when Lady Claire dramat-
icaly cxclaims. "And he shall have it," her
mother knows that the jig is up because
when n woman grows dramatic on you YOU
might as well quit the argument and sur
render--that is. unless you make up your
mind 10 an all night session, with the usual
"As-I-was-saying-l -last-night" the next morn
ing AZ breakfast
But Lord Harold was a good sport at that.
and when Lady Claire dressed for the part
in rags and harefooted told him tho truth
he just laughed and said "Oh. forget g." or
words 70 that effect
SO they clnched and later were married.
but our personal opinion Is that Lady Claire
was playing a long shot--yes. sir. she took
a chance

Dick was a Primitive Baptist a religion

job, TO which he replied:
Why ef was. ter do dat de Primitive
Baptists would turn me out er de church"

opinion the Catholics were the only people

like they are pretty close together sure
enough Now, just what is the difference
between them?"

small and large mouthed bass, brook trout,
rainbow trout lake trout, white perch, yellow
perch blackfsh and striped base-and in
every possible way effort is made TO impress
sportsmen with the Importance Of organized
work for preserving game so that In future
years these hunting and fishing territories
close to New York will be growing better
and better instead of being denuded of
game. Each member of the association acts
as self-appoiDted assistant game protector
whose duty Is at once TO report game law
violations, or even a rumor Of them, so they
may be investigated by the nearest official
game protector
The association keeps close watch on pro-
ceedings at Albany and has strongly op-
posed measures deemed detrimental to the
best interests of good sportsmanship. One
Of its most interesting activities Is that OF
rousing public opinion 10 the necessity of
destroying creatures which prey on wild
birds and game. In recent bullc tin to
members 10 said:
Remember that vermin kill more
game than you do Foxes. hawks. owls
crows. weasels, stray cats and king
fishers do not observe any closed season.
Some Of them arc hunting both day and
night. They all hunt from necessity the
year round. and IL not destroying game,
fish or eggs in this locality they are
doing IL somewhere else, at all seasons
Of the year. Many species Of vermin
make handsome trophies. Mount a lot
Of them this season and every season
hereafter. Unless YOU are willing. TO
divide our game and song birds with
<vermin giving them the lions share
always you must kill them at every
opportunity - and make the oppor-
tunity."

Within a year 500 members had been en-

more lakes in the New York watershed
while they and their families are comfort
ably seated in boats casting from rip

life to the scene.
The county families welcome these Wis

they misuse boats. destroy young trees or

NF course, the whole feminist move
| ment is caused by the fact that labor
saving devices have been perfected
10 such an extent that the entire time of
women is no longer required in household
duties and it is perfectly natural that they
should seek something to occupy their time
and their minds. Every human being must
have something to occupy the mind. Old
Uncle Aaron had the right idea about 1t.
Uncle Aaron gas a prince of the Church
