ASTENED JOB FOR MINISTER/ >uth Couldn't Sec Any Four Years' 1 Courting if He Had to Visit j Girl on Horseback. j Cupid's wiugs were slightly scorched j ien the request went forth to leave ! r automobiles in our garages on Sun- I y and thus aid in saving fuel, says j e Indianapolis News. But a youth in j tflivan county?quite loyal to his j untry and his sweetheart, too?re- | embered the days of his father and J ted accordingly. When 7 o'clock came ! i went to the family barn, ignored | e presence of his new roadster, took j >wn his father's ancient saddle, put j on one of the plow horses and gal- i ntly rode forth. But not far did he ride. Either the ! ?rse unaccustomed to a rider or the j uth to riding did something which 'itated the other, for soon the youth i is prone in the road and the horse is fiallonine toward home. After a while the young man got up I om his prostrate position. Dazedly he ' oked around him. Then he talked to mself: "My father," he said, "assert- \ 1 that that saddle took him to court ' Dther weekly for more than four ars. Well, for myself, I'll say there : is something radically wrong with j ther. If I had to ride on that saddle ur years to see Nellie?well, never ind, Til propose tonight" He did and Cupid chalked up one ;ainst Mr. Gnrfield. Two Good Letters. We have been permitted to re id two letters, the one written by a mother, the other 'by her daughter. Each so well shows the fine American spirit that we feel it to be a patriotic duty to quote a sentence or so from both. Says the mother of a toy "over there "It seems to me that as a rule the people are taking things too quietly. Of course, many realize the awfulnesj of the war and are doing what they can, but many do not; they do not ? At? lmnnr read me papers, wuscqucunj ;\uu? nothing of the tragedies that are <ro ing on. Then there are others, wbo know tout do not care, just so they are safe. We have some of that kind close by. I wish some of the mothers would write something. I wish I could write; I feel so much, 'but I cannot' express it. Ever since ? sailed the papers have been full of news of ships having been sunk -I dread to see tomorrow's paper. The iasi letier 1 naa irom aim jusi sam. 'Off to France, good bye, see you again in a few months." The sister of the soldier whose mother is quoted above says in her letter: "'I -can easily believe thar those awful Germans had a hand in the spreading of the 'flu.' Nothing is too bad for them. In fact the worse a thing is the more they enjoy doin^r . it. I don't think we can hate then) ^ ~ ~ T /IawH TT7Q * IUU IliUUU. X UUll k uuiia ?U> should close until the kaiser is in ?. I am sure that there is no other placs suitable for him, and I want him to be there, don't you'?" Xow the young lady who says is the most suitable place for the kaiser is one of the sweetest, gentlest and most devout girls in America. Her use of ciirtV. Ion am a era nnlv tn show that OUOU lUU^UU^V \s - J 0 it is the unanimous opinion of the U. S. A. She did not spell the word but used the dash to express it in as soft a way as possible. We agree with her and glory in her spun]; as well as her judgment. Every sister, sweetheart, wife and mother of every American soldier will respond to the sentiment. 6 letters From a Soldier to His Parents. (Musician Lonnie A. Smith, member of a band overseas, has written letters to his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Smith of West End. He tells them he has seen England and a part of France. He had a gTeat trip and is about 7,000 miles from home, but? "my heart is always with': you all." He says the band is billeted in a small town away up in the mountains. "The i climate is fine and we are: ha.v'ng a fine time of it up here. I don't know what our duties will be but I expert the band will be held intact for awhile and later be detailed to play around hospitals and do first aid dutv. I will most likely have a shot at r.ha Germans, as I expect t.o'slip off to the line trench and make the Germans j pay dear for all this trouble. I would like so much to tell you where I am. hnt -T oan't* hrm-pver. T am well and you need not worry about me for Fncle Sam -Will tn!:e care of me.

' The above letter was written tho 26 of August, the n'ext bains? dated September 4. In this second letter h? speaks of having sent home some views, among them the picture of Christ and tells of how "the German artllery shot his monument awav. Always believe everything about the J Germans as they are guilty of every- j thing you ever heard, and all you haven't heard of the same. I could see while I was traveling a citv the zeppelins had raided and it made m>* blood run hot. I can't tell you many things I would like to. 'Nothing like information goes away from this country; all letters are censored ibefose being sealed and are never sealed by the writers. Now let me tell you something about this pretty country and now the houses are built, etc. Most all the houses are built of stone, and very little wood is used. A house that we would call a 10 or 12 room house has one or two bsd rooms upstairs. The kitchen and dining room are in room on the ground with a stone floor, which is usually rough. Next to it is a two-room blacksmith shoD. a wood shop or some kind of a shop. The next room is a large cowstall with about four to eight cows, or sometimes more, according to what the owner is worth in stock. Horses, j cows, children, barn, blacksmith shop and living room all under one roof. An American would need about one and a half acres for all this. Every house has a large yard which is green with grass and clover. Oh, my, how we love to snatch a few minutes' sleep in the grass with the sun in oar face. We are used to that now and i we have to sleep a liitle in the day time, as one cow in every herd ha=> a bell and the bell cow stays awake about three pahs of the night and tvia v?a11 inct to toon lie ?1^x72* ' I tilC UGU juoi nj >- IA I. ?.

"Our eats are firfe and we have plenty to smoke, and every seventh meal they issue us a package of Bull Durham smoking tobacco.'' ??, TOO MUCH LIKE KAISER BILL Ex-Sheriff of New York Town Has Made It Plain i hat "Potsdam I Points" Don't Go. Ex-Sheriff James Merritt, whose mustache grow^ as a sheriff's mustache should, has established a mustache censorship and outlawed the Potsdam points, recording to a Port Chester correspondent of the New York Tribune.' Until a few days ago scarcely an hour went by that the argus-eyed former sheriff patrolling the streets did not find at least one sky-pointing mustache of the kind made notorious by Wild Bill Hohenzollern. The tactics of the former sheriff upon spotting such a one were as tactful and as unvarying as those of a collecting agency. Placing himself in front of the wearer, he would fix a pale and unappreciative eye upon the offending mustache and stare and stare. Either the staree wilted or became curious or belligerent. Former Sheriff Merritt was ready for either result. i At the first evidence of embarrassment he would nod mutely toward the nearest barber shop, follow his victim until he entered and remained on post outside until he emerged without his mustache. If the mustached one inquired civilly what was wrong, the former sheriff would start as if awafcf ened from a daze and explain that he thought he was confronting his old friend, "Pewter Cup Bill," the yachtsman. If the recipient of his stare wanted to know what was biting the former sheriff. Merritt went just as far with the inquisitive one as was necessary to persuade him into a neat coat of lather. Plft'Q PI &np IN MYTHOI OGY IM V >?n v to hi III I IWHIVVI Black Swine Considered Evil Because It Was Identified With the Black Clouds. If we add an Irish "hull"' to the story of the Roscommon pig, the vision of the small girl Beirne might be described as an echo of certain events that occurred more than sixty centuries ago, when mankind was laying the foundations of civilization ami its beliefs for all time. It carries our minds back to the mythical sow that is reputed to hnve suckled King Minos of Crete and the infant god Zeuz-Dionysius; to the sacrificial pi^s which the 1 initiates into the Eleusinian mysteries washed in the waters of the Aegean; to the evil swine that determined the ( fate of Osiris, Adonis, Tammuz and Diarmid: and to a still earlier phase i In the gropings after light and consolation when the sow was identified with the Orent Mother, the rrentor of i all, who, in her capacity as the raoon and the sky, regulated the universe and controlled the destinies of mankind. Hence the pig was fate, and the black pig was evil because it was identified with the black clouds which obscured the light, at first in the purely literal and physical sense, but afterward in the ethical and moral acceptation of the phrase. ?
