Although up to a brighter sky
IV You turn a brighter brow,
The Little Girl you bade “Don’t
cry ’
Must d sofiey you now.
Beside the Little Cripple’s chair
She's kneeJLig, tearful-eyed,
Although she knows that you fore’er
Are on the Sur.ny Side.
Amid the land that’s ever new,
Amid new singers’ ranks,
There’ll be the same deep joy for
i you
As on the Deer Crick Banks.
' For with your posies in her hands
And on her lips your hymn,
There Little Orphant Annie stands
To kiss her Uncle Jim.
■O you who sang The Days Gone By
In your own perfect phrase,
J hear your treble, far on high,
Singing the day of days
The veil that hid God’s mystery vast
Lifts as a curtain does,
And now, Jim Riley, at the last,
You know Who Santa Wux!
No Gobble-uns'll Git You Jim!
You’ve gone across the night
To find amid the seraphin
The Raggedy Man in white!
And in the paths of the children’s feet,
Lit by the children’s smile,
You go unfaltering to meet
The true Cross-Bearin’ Chile!
The Funny Little Fellow cries
In vain for you to stay.
You’ve gone to seek beyond the skies
The Land of Whereaway.
And "Good-bye Jim,” the Dwainie elf
Sighs 'neath her Spirkland hat,
She need not say, “Take keer o’
yourself,”
God's looking out for that!
—JOHN O’KEEFE,
In New York World.

Y. I’. M. S. OF FIRST
METHODIST MEET MONDAY
This afternoon at 2:30 o clock at
First Methodist church the Young Peo
ple’s Missionary society of that con
gregation held a most interesting
meeting, the occasion being in the na
ture of a rally, with a specially in
teresting program.
This organization since its inception
has been a center of interest for young
missionary workers, and under the
very able direction of Mrs. John Shef
field has recently become one of the
strongest and most important of the
First Methodist auxiliaries.
Difference In Vinegar.
What a difference in table vinegars!
Some have a coarse acidity that is
most pronounced. And for just a bit
more than you usually pay you will
find them of unusual mellowness and
of much greater strength than the
ordinary vinegar. It is surprising
what a difference a really good vine
gar makes in a salad dressing or for
pickling.
The Town-Booster.
“Mister, I’m a stranger in town. I'm
lost and can’t find my way to the
depot.” “Better settle right here, my
friend,” advised the booster. “You
couldn’t locate in a better place.”

NEGROES COMING
BACK TO GEORGIA
Some negroes who went north this
summer following apparently lucrative
offers of work there are returning to
Georgia, much the worse for their ex
perience. One instance is covered in
the following news story from the Sa
vannah News:
Doing track work in Pennsylvania is
not the soft snap it was claimed to be
ard large numbers of the negroes who
went from Savannah some time ago are
finding even the first touch of fall and
the winds that sweep down from the
Alleghanies very good reminders that
Georgia and especially Savannah are
good places during the winter months,
so they are treking back. Those who
have already arrived —and they are ar
riving in small batches daily—are just
as gfad to get back as they were to go
away, and probably will not venture
north again.
But despite the fact that the weather
from now on is especially forbidding,
agents who make luring offers have
won over another batch who want to
go North, and, according to reports,
they will leave tomorrow.

AMERICAN SIGHT-SEER VISITS
DANGER ZONE AT VERDUN

course running for miles, where offic
ers can exercise their mounts, and
cavalry push forward in emergency
without blocking the highroad. Every
now and then one sees a big vehicle
shoot by bearing the sign "American
Ambulance Corps.’’
The thousands of horses and mules
along the road are in good condition.
Many of the horses came from Amer
ica, and were run down by sea voyage,
but after a month’s feeding they prov
ed very serviceable. On seeking the
mules, one of the officers said:
“The demobilization of the Greek
army had one very important result for
the Allies—it released 10,000 mules
which the Greeks had been using, and
now these mules are proving invalu
able to the Allies.”
While the fields back of Verdun are
rich with yellow grain, yet there is one
melancholy evidence of the war in the
burning of manure, usually the very
life-blood of the soil. The grain can
be gathered by the soldiers and the
women who remain, but there is no
time to distribute the manure over the
land, and so it is burned.
The last glimpse of Verdun came as
the party passed a detachment of
French soldiers, just out of the trench
es and going to the rear for rest. They
were tired and heavily laden, but hap
py and cheerful as they sprung along
in irregular ranks, laughing and
smoking as though they came from
some agreeable occupation. They were
all fine-looking young fellows, and they
typified that calm and invincible
spirit which the young French soldiers
are putting into their service.
ONLY 21 TYPHOID CASES
AMONG 150,000 TROOPS
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 2.—Since
May 1 there have been only 21 cases
of typhoid among the 150,000 troops In
the Southern department, according to
figures announced today by Colonel W.
L> McCaw, chief surgeon. The South
ern department includes all troop's
from Brownsville, Tex., to Tyuma,
Ariz., and in Mexico. Col. McCaw said
that this record was due to the use of
the typhoid vaccine treatment, without
which, he believes, there v ould have
been at least 5,000 cases.
