The Ladies' Home Journal for Jan
uary prints quite a number of poem
by soldiers, among them one b
Chas. Divine of the Tenth Infantr
to Spartanburg. 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.
O hail to thee?though rains ma;
flow
Upon your roads so ruddy?
The sun is bound to shine and oh!
Your smile is never muddy!

JACK BRADLEY DAMAGED
11
It just had to be. When nothing j*'
else is happening on Greenville j *
[Stree, one of the Bradley boys!
*;either falls out of the window, jumps|
out of a tree, shoots himself, or hi
1 breaks his neck. 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.
