There Ii a Story From Vera Cruz
That Telia of the Marksman
ship of Uncle Satn'i Marines. '
The mariniiH know how to
hiimlW a rille; 30 per cent, of
the force are qualified, listed
shots. There is a story from
Vera Cruz thnt tells of good
shooting and a sure eye, Hen
ry Reuterdal writes in the
Youth's Coiiipunion.
Our bluejackets were march
iK up the street from the pluza
between rowH of two-story
houses. A well dressed Mexi
can, with a newspaper over his
knee, was sitting on the bal
cony of his house, apparently
watching our sailors advance;
but hidden under the paper he
held a big revolver, and as our
men went by he fired. The bul
lets were striking, but our of
ficers could hardly suspect a
well-dressed Mexican,' reading
a paper and looking peacefully
on from his own house.of being
the sniper.
Dropping his paper, the Mex
ican went inside to reload.
When he came out again on
the balcony the glint of the gun
caught the attention of Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on
horseback in the plaza, 1,000
yards or more away. Through
his eight-power field glass the
colonel saw plainly the flash of
the shots under the newspaper.
"Get him," he said, turning
to his orderly.
The man raised his rifle, press
ed the trigger and the Mexi
can fell out of his chair.
"Got him, sir," said the marine.
ROOM AT THE TOP.
Little Jennie had been eating
very heartily, but she asked for
another piece of cake.
"Jennie," said her mother, "I
don't believe I ought to give it to
you. You're about as full as a
little girl can possibly be. Another
mouthful, and you'll burst I"
"But, mamma, my neck's left
yet!" said the little girl, persua
sively. THE EXCEPTION.
"I am going to call up that pret
ty telephone girl and ask her to
marry me."
Then you won't get the usual
answer.
"What do you mean ?"
"She'll hurry to reply, 'Ring
on.

THE NIGHT ROAD,
Truth dues not bidong to us,
it is we who bulong to the
truth ! Woe to him who pos
sesses it and treats it as some
thing that belongs to himself.
Happy is he who is possessed
by it! No preference, no kin
ship no symputhy counts here.
Alas! It is not thus that men
understand it It is for thiH
reason that they degrade truth
and that it becomes without
power in their hands. Instead
of winging its way heavenly
vigorous flight, it crawls
along the earth, like an eagle
whose wings have been broken.
Nothing is sadder than to
see how those who ought to
end their voices to truth turn
it to their own uses and play
with.it. The voice, human
speech, that sacred organ whose
whole worth lies in sincerity,
has in all ages been the victim
of odious profanations. But in
this age it is more than ever
attained. .The evil from which
suffers is defilement. Ex-
hange.
I love ihe little highway beneath the golden stars,
That wanders through the pastures and leadeth through the bars,
The little road of nighttime all quiet, still and deep
That leads us with the children to the merry land of sleep.
The night road o'er the meadows,
And by the winding stream,
Till through the tender shadows
We find the home of dream.
I love to walk the night road, so winding and so fair, ,
To listen to the music of the magic lutes of air; '
The little road that wanders from all the roar and strife
Unto the pleasant country of the sweet and restful life.
The night road, the bright road,
The fairy road again "
That winds through sleepy hollow
To the tents of fairy glen.
There are no fifes or bugles and no rolling drums where runs
The night road in its beauty to the land of setting suns;
But evermore the angels with their while wings kneel in prayer
-At the shrines along the highway where our hearts forget their care.
The night road, with its magic,
Its beauty and its glow,
Where with the little children
To the sleepy land we go.
Here's the way the Arkansas
Gazette looks at it:
"Some men
Work on
PerpeXual motion
Machines.
And some men
Try to lift
Themselves
By their bootstraps
And some men
Argua with women
And I can't see
Where there is
Much choine
Between the three."

into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel biuous, headachy, cou

to your druggist and get a 69 cent
bottle of Dodson'i Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doean't start your liver aud

than katty calomel and without mak

If fou take calomel today you'll be

A close-up experience in the trenches and hospitals will convince LSI
any man that the Bible is the greatest comforter and inspircr in the
world. 1 his is why n is the best seller" in the world.
The Bible was written thousands of years ago, but nothing that has
since appeared in printed form has had anything like the same circuta'
tion. v
Men may talk as they please about oiher books being "inspired,1
but when a soldier is about to go to the from, or when he realizes that
he must get ready for "the roll call up yunder," he doesn't ask ihat
tne cnapiain or nurse reaa sometmng 10 nun trom Shakespeare or
Milton he wants the Bible.
And because this is true, it's a fine iliing that the American Bible
Society has for just 1 00 years been placing Bibles with soldiers in
every notable war on American or foreign soil.
It prints the Bible in 1 50 languages, and employs over 2,000 cor
respondents for distributing the Bible, in whole or in parts. Last year
about 8,000,000 volumes were distributed, and during the 100 years
of its history nearly 1 18,000,000 volumes.
Hundreds of the society 8 correspondents are now busy in the
trenches and training camps giving copies of khaki-covered Bibles and
Testaments to the soldiers.
Hundreds of the society s correspondents are now busy in the
trenches and training camps giving copies of khaki-covered Bibles and.
Testaments to the soldiers. .
And it isn't done in a perfunctory fashion, either. For there's al
ways a word of advice as how to read, so that the soldier may get the
best use of the Bible.
As he reads for inspiration, suddenly the old book ol Psalms lakes
on a new meaning, t-or many of these pld songs were written in tunes
of war or in preparation for war. You can almost hear the sounds of
martial music and the shouting of fighting men.
And when comfort is needed, the 1 weniy ihird Psalm stands out,
familiar, and tilled with memories of childhood days when mother
taught him "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," and all the
rest of it, even down to the "valley of ihe shadow of deaih,'" where
he'll "fear no evil."
Other scripture there is, to satisfy every mood and every need.
What tht Bible is doing for the men in the army no man can kIL
but here are few snap shots
A professional man who had been drinking hard and living high was
tired out, badly wounded, between the Canadian and German lines,
"It waa all right, though, he said, "for thanks to ihe silent influence
of this little book (pulling a Testament oil of his, pocket,) I was able to 1
make my peace with my Maker."
They found a Testament in the hands of a dead soldier on the battle
Acid, with words written on the By-leaf: "Be thou faithful unto death,
and 1 will give thee a crown of life. Who can deny that this made
him a better soldier.)
To a correspondent who had given a soldier a New Testament came
a letter in which the soldier wrote: "I have found the pearl of great
price referring to what he had discovered in the Bible.
'We are coming fac to face with deaih-we have mighty need of
consolation, wrote another.
The Bible keeps men human, and often makes them divine. This
what is needed in the great war we are now fighting,
