age and envelopes. They talk of the present; they
talk Of things he did when he here. He is more
and family than soldier. An image of family
ties. An image haunted by the spectre Of march
ing in that cold darkness when soldiers left.
May suggest for this Association of Soldiers

type of fellows is also of the most widely trav
eled men we've met. He and Mrs. Tull

Ben Dubois, Independent Bankers secretree has
Of the most interesting jobs in the town. Back
from Washington recently he is all enthused about
a talk he had with former Justice Brandeis, now
retired from the bench Of the u s. Supreme Court
He found the Justice extremely simple man,
OF quiet tastes and pursuits, in study almost barren
of anything but essentials :. After hours talk
Ben is more impressed with the Justice than any
other man he has spoken to. Ben finds Wash
ington too all a-murmur the init. situation.

I like this story Of a dog Not because it is
anything unusual for it is the usual, the ordinary
1t is not Of a pedigreed pup, but it is typical
of the unsung hero-the farm yard dog about the
business of his daily tasks the magnitude of which
scarcely any other purposeful dog can match .
It was during the time of the sleeping sickness
epidemic that hit many horses in this area. The
dog was an old hand at watching the stock. He
keenly sensed such occasions the hogs breaking
out, or the cow caught in the fence . At this

horses was sick. Up to the farmer the dog
anxiously Juggling with his teeth at the farmers
pants Leg Then with bark he bounded back to
the barn. The farmer found the bags of oats
used to prop up the sick horse had given away
The horse had fallen down.

ana regular chief Frank Schlchte had fun. Bills
dad, Elmer. Is coal deliverer That's all Bill need

now inactive in the work he did long. A year
