Rescuer Had MofiUe in
SoUing Bill Jones Life

"Help! help" came faint cry from
the swollen river.
On the bank little knot of people
shouted and gesticulated, but brave
man would have hesitated before
plunging into the icy torrent. Others
were quickly attracted to the scene
among them a short, determined-look-
ing man.
"Wot's upY' he asked casually.
1Man's drowningi" some one said
tensely.

"Bill jones'" volunteered a voice,
"Bill Jones'" he gasped. Strike me
pink" Saying which he flung off his
coat, and plunged headlong into the
swirling waters With powerful
strokes he succeeded IN reaching the
side of the now exhausted man. Then
began desperate battle, as yard by
yard the hero fought his way to the
bank with his helpless burden. Cheers
sprang from hoarse throats as willing
hands hoisted rescued and rescuer to
saTety.
BY this time the doctor had arrived.
"Wfll e liver anxiously inquired the
dripping hero.

Primitive EskImos.

Ten years among the Eskimo. Ave
of which were spent among the so
called blonde Eskimo" Of the Macken
Eie delta and Coronation gulf districts
Of the Arctic, is the record of Rev. Ed
ward Hester, Church Of England
missionary.
The Coronation gulf Eskimes are
very primitive, he states. Their weap-
ons consist Of bows and arrows made
by themselves. Raw meat Is their
principal food diet, the diet varying
only with the hunting seasons. In
seal-hunting time seal meat Is the
daily bill Of fare; in caribou time,
the caribou only Ii eaten.
Though the Eskimo may have both
seal and caribou meat on hand at the
same time, his peculiar beliefs forbid
him to eat seal meat at caribou time,
and vice versa. Neither may he est
q land meat, such as caribou, when ON
water or ice, 20 he lives on seal meat.
When he takes to the land In the
spring he must not eat seal flesh. The
breaking Of either Of these rules win
call down upon his head the wrath
Of the departed, who are always vazy
svu spirits, says the Eskimo.

The linking of the childreu's
names with those of the Con.
federacy has meaning deeper
even than Loves memory. The
men OF tine sixties fought for the
generations of the future. They
surrendered and went back to the
burned fields and the sorrowful
cities that they might rebuild
the South for the children who
would follow them. For this
reason the idea of The children's
Founders Roll is particularly
beautiful and significant. The
plan was inaugurated that everv
child might have a share in the
most wonderful memorial that
History has ever known. It pro-
v1des for the enrolment OF all
white children through the
eighteenth year, together with
the names of those who rendered
service to the Confederacy.
For each one dollar contribut.
ed child can enroll tile name Of
one Confederate soldier or any
man or woman who rendered
actual service to the Confederacy

liz the South responds to the ap-
peal for the enrolment of the
children in such way as to in
cIude all families who fought

ing the sixties. The plan was

button placed at so low an amount
rs one dollar. in order that no
family might be excluded from
the privilege of memorializing
Its heroic dead because of the
cost of contribution to wards

THE VALE OF SHENANDOAH
lBY MRS. NJ. L. WALTON,


Have you been in old Virginia?
Travelled Ger her broad domain !?
Scaled her mountains, her Valleys?
Where fertility doth reign?
Tasted of her healing waters.
Sought by many far and wide?
Favored are her sons and daughters,
Beauty bounty here abide
But from mountains tow ring westward,
To the sea grit eastern shore,
Best of all the Old Dominion
Is the Vale of Shenandoah.
Woulds't thou view this wondrous Valley?
Vale historic, classic fair?
Climb with me to yonder summit
Leave behind the world and care
All around the native forest,
Where no work of man hath part
Bare thine head in Natures presence
Thou art to Natures heart.
Looking northward, southwark, westward
Far mortal vision may,
See scene human artist,
Howeer skilled could eer portray.
To the west the Aleghenies
In majestic grandeur lie
Underneath the summer verdure,
Over all the sky.
Waving grain and fertile meadows
Towns and hamets dot the plain
Once the scene of strife and carnage
Now both peace and plenty reign,
Through this beauteous vale to northward
Flows the placid Shenandoah
Curving inward, curving outward.
Verdure-lined each winding shore.
Wooed to join the great Potomac,
Through no discord mars,
Hastens singing to their union
Lovely Daughter of the Stars.
See the gorgeous sunset splendor,
AS the sinks to his rest
Flooding all the vale with radiance, :
Earth, and sky, and mountain crest
Slowly descend to earthward,
Down the Massanutten side
Feeling we have VISION
One whose blessing will abide,
While from leafy bush and tree-top,
Song birds chant their lullaby.
Gradually the shadows lenghen,
Far and near the landscape DER,
AS the nightfall softly nestles
Ger the Vale of Shenandoah
The above poem written by Mrs. M. L.
Walton years ago and was published in little

following dedication
"To my children, at whose request this
simple tribute is published" The books
never offered for sale, but presented to
Mrs. Walton's relatives and friends by
whom they highly appreciated not only for
their literary merit and great beauty but be-
of the love and high esteem which the
noble writer has inspired. The poem was
written at this and is most beautiful

of Woodstock, with the waving grain almost
ready for the harvest.
