Where Are The Nine?"
I The chaplain of a regiment on
th; western front, on his rounds
b: fore the lighting ceased, met an
officer of the same regiment who
seemed to have something on his
mind.
"I think I am due to make you
a confession, padre," he said at
last with an embarrassed laugh.
" Two nights ago, during a heavy
barrage, our telephone lines were
shot out I found I had to gel
over to the major's command post,
three or four hmtdrcd yards away.
As I looked out, it seemed to me
shells weu- dropping along the
road like a Western hailstorm, but
I had to go just the same. I don't
mind telling the world that I was
seared good and plenty.
"I liadn'i said a pr.iycf since I
was a liule roy, and never expec
ted to say another, hut as 1 went I
found mysrlt praying to God as
naturally as ,f had been praying
all my life lung. Someway I got
over and somehow I got back, al
though it didn't seem possible that
anyone could do either. It wasn't
until then that it came over me
how instinctively and how mightily
1 had prayed during that shelling,
and I said to myself that there was
only one way about it: if 1 prayed
like thunder when I was being
shelled, I should be a mighty low
down thing if I stopped praying
just because I wasn't being shelled.
It also seemed to me that the de
cent thing to do was to own up;
and so I made it a point to tell you
thai now every night I'm saying
my prayers."
"God bless you: and keep it
up!" said the chaplain.
As he went his way the chaplain
thought of the ten healed lepers,
only one of whom came to give
thanks. ''Just about every man
in France has had something of
that same experience,'' he said to
himself. "Why don't they all re
member it afterwards?"

STOMACH TROUBLE
Mr. Marion Holcomb. of Nancy, Ky., says: "For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would
ha e j; ins and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
t!. -livable taste in my mouth. If 1 ate anything with
'.i ..'tir.oil or grease, 1 would spit it up. I began to have
r. ,ni ir sick headache. 1 had used pills and tablets, but
a!, r a course of these, I would be constipated. It just

PA'S OFF HIS HEAD,
BY S. E. RISER.
Pa bought himself a derby hat and brought it home last night,
And ma can't keep from thinkin' that our future won't be bright,
He paid nine dollars for the thing; when ma found out the price
She seemed to think she ought to ring the doctor for advice.
"Good gracious, pa," she said, "what made you ever buy that kind ?
There must be something, I'm afraid, that's over threw your mind."
But there was worse than that to come; pa bought an overcoat.
It almost seemed to strike ma dumb; a gasp stuck in her throat
I mean when pa told what it cost they soaked him fifty bucks.
Ma said : "I guess his reason's lost; his mind's all drakes and ducks."
And then she went and felt pa's head and asked him if it hurt,
"Gel ready now to faint," pa said; "I also bought a shirt." '
He smiled a kind of sickly smile that chased ma's fears away
"I hope," she told him, after awhile, that's all you bought today,
Because I did some shoppin', too, a winter coat and hat
Both bargains that but very few would ever get them at;
The hat was thirty five, but all I paid was twenty-nine;
I've got it out in the hall; I hope you'll think it's fine.
"The coal's a beauty; you'll be glad I picked it out, I know;
It's something like the one I had last fall a year ago.
You'd never guess the price I paid two hundred and eighteen;
It looks as though it had been made to order for a queen.
You'r; glad I got them, ain't you dear? Come on, cheer up and smile;
The coat'll do me for next year unless they change the style."
Then pa said he'd bought some shoes ten dollars for a pair;
Ma nearly fainted at the news: it drove her to despair.
"Why pa!"she hollered, "l.mdaL.e! Has something cracked your dome?
It looks as if you wished to drive us out of house and home!"
Pa put his lingers, in his ears and moaned a sickly moan;
Ma's worried, for siiesiys s ij fens his reason's overthrown.
MONEY - TIME - LABIUM
is not saved by buying poor Paint.
Buy the L & M SEMI-PASTE PURE PAINT and
pure Linseed Oil to mix with it.
It is positively the best, because made in
semi-paste (thick) form and enables a
SAVING OF $1.00 ON EVERY GALLON
of Paint you use.
U$9 a gallon out of any you buy, and
if not the bet paint made, return the
balance and get alt your money back.

About the first question our salesmen will ask you when you
try on one of our new
Is "Mow does it feel?" In other stores they ask "How does
it look?" The difference is that we will first select a hat that
will become you, and we know thata "Mallory" Hat will look
right, so what we want to know is whether the hat feels right
on the head, lie sure to have a look at our window this week
and come in and prove what we say.
