Soldiers Killed by Verdun Gas Attack
While BottIing Water In Tunnel.
Verdun - Bodies of more than 100
German soldiers, postured in lifelike
attitudes, were found in a tunnel be-
tween Dead Mans Hill and Bothin-

They had been caught in a surprise
gas attack at the battle Of Verdun.
The Germans were bottling mineral

The gas must have acted instantly,
for there they stood, against the walls
of the tunnel, gruesome toilers at one
of the less heroic tasks Of the
World war.

lonely. He would not dine at the club;
he would have some cheese and crack

valet could always prepare a little
supper for him.
Outside of the club his chauffeur and

He got in and sat down on the seft.
luxuriously upholstered cushions, and
the chauffeur closed the door, shutting
out the clear, cold Christmas time air
and the noise Of the streets-the noise
Of many voices of many people going
shopping. with the higher voices Of
children rising every once in awhile
above the din.
His soul seemed to ache. He was
alone. Rich, comfortable, luxurious,
alone! No one wanted him, needed
him, cared for him. He had every
thing which money could buy; he had
enough money to buy everything he
wanted.
No, not everything! He wanted love
and affection, he wanted to be part
Of all this going on outside the lu1u-
rious confinement of his car and that
he couldn't buy. Mix with the crowds?
Yes, he could do that, but not as one
Of them. Only as a lonely man who
had fat bank account which didn't
help in the slightest.
And yet couldn't it help? Suddenly
he had an inspiration. He called
through the speaking tube to his
chauffeur. Il think" he said, II will
get out here and walk the rest Of the
way home"
The chauffeur was surprised, but he
was too well-trained to show surprise.
He got out before a large store
where in the window was a decorated
Christmas tree. He went inside the
store. No longer did he feel SO lonely.
He, too, had purpose in mind. He
was a part Of all of this now.
Tinsel, candles, red colored paper,
ribbons, small toys, decorations. oh,
how much he bought. His arms were

been hearing various versions of this story

have repeatedly stated before, l do not think
age should be a bar to a yarn when 1t pos
sesses merits.
1t is set forth that during the Civil war
young officer in the Union( army was taking
a stroll along a road in Virginia when he met
an old negro man and engaged him in con-
versation. The ancient darby returned such
quaint answers to the Northerner's questions
that the latter was moved to quiz him humor-
ously.
Uncle" he said, "you know. don't you,
that this war between us and the Rebs is
largely on your account?'
"Yas, sab, dats whut done heard EN- say, "

don't you?"

lust Among Ourselves

1.-TWO of many letters in Mondays mall
brought special pleasure to this office,
= where we are working to the best OF
our ability to make a good paper and to get
1t to our readers on time.
Here is one, which is really as high COM
pliment as could be paid to newspaper
Enclosed find money order for 500 for
renewal to The Tri-Weekly journal. The
paper gets better every day. 1t is the clean
est and most wholesome paper know Of"
That is the opinion of W. c. Meacham, OF
Route 1, Five Points, Miss.
To make a clean and wholesome news
paper is to do the very finest thing news
paper man can do. To make trashy and
filthy newspaper is as bad thing as news
paper man or anybody else can do in this
world.
A newspaper going into homes exercises
profound influence for good or for bad. 1t
is read by boys and girls whose characters
for life are being formed. And if newspa-
per is bad, if it is filed with mush and slush'
the wicked influence it exerts in household
will tend to offset the example and teachings
of father and mother and of the church.
We are making clean newspaper, to the
very best of our ability, and 1t pleases us to
see that subscribers like Mr.. Meacham recog-
nize that fact
IoFfa
from r. S. shackelford of Ebb, Fla. He
says:
sI wish to thank you for the nice apple
trees YOU sent us. They are all living and
looking nice. My wife is tickled to death
over them; says she Is going to send you an
apple dumping from the first fruit as large
as a half bushel measure, and butter sauce

to bear before I renew. I like The Tri-
