Mr. Divine was on of the editors of the "Gas Attack, the soldier publication of the Twen ty-seventh Division, when it was i: Rnflrtanhur? Countv training befor going to France. It is a modest bi of verse, but most pleasing in it simplicity. Mr. Div.^e's poem fol lows: 0 hail, kind host, whose warm hear beats As Spartan of the nation To us who come to swarm you streets With twice the population. Invaders we, of quiet ways, Your dream-lit lanes and moan tains. With you we spend our trainin; days And pay at soda fountains. We thank your sk:es for all thei gold, We crave no nights at zero. We like your suns, but when its coL It's hard to be a hero. Your misses, soft in speech and eye Your genial pleasant matrons, Your cakes and sweet-potato pies And cooks with gleaning aprons.

This time it was hi 11 ! . Jack, not Hugh; and it was Jack'siV, rt , I time because it had been a long time|o: jrince Jack was damaged. ! It all happened this way: Jack was 1out on North Main Friday night delivering the Index-Appeal, and he r knew the people along his route; were waiting for their papers, so he 'was in a hurry. He was riding the1 c i inew bicycle which he gave himself j r'Vimofmoc onrl Vioincr n little late. VllliOHUUC, ? ' ' ** he was running on the newly laid t( pavement at about a reasonable !ti rate (we say that because Jack may i want to sue the city). The /irst and tl last thing Jack knew a rope stretch- ti a ed across the street, with no light to jr '"'mark its presence, collared Jack 0 about the neck, while the bicycle v ;kept its pace down the street. Jack fj " hui:- c;i the tightly ctrelchcJ roxx , " for a few minutes(chin hold), when F he fell backwards, ^ striking on the back of head, rendering himself upconscious and badly injuring the 'pavement. i , i Passers-bv soon discovered him .. r; ii 'and he was rushed home, and . e ' i ii , physicians were called. It was found! el, * j p , that no bones were broken, but that , CI Greenville Street's Paul Revere had , cl suffered a considerable shaking up, I ; 0 and it was necessary for him to go to , 1 |li the shop for repairs, much to his . ! disgust as this kept him away from j ^ ! school, which is one place which I ^ Jack believes in attending.
