HOW JOEL AND AMOS FOUND A
HOME—Part ».
Joel and Amo* were brother*, and
when their father and mother died they
were all alone In the world. They did
not have oven an uncle or aunt to
whom they could go for a home.
And the little house In which they
lived on the edge of the forest was so
ltd sera old It seemed ready to
full apart, but Hie hoytt patched it as
well as they rould and Amos said h«
thought they could fine wood enougn
blown front Iho tree* to alore sway for
the winter, for they were *o poor they
tl> 1 not even have a hatchet.
"But what will we eat, brother"'
asked Joel. "We must have food as
well *s fuel”
''l had not thought of that,” replied
Amo*. "We have ho little at any Hmj
we diould lie able to get along some
how.”
So the brother* »et out, hut they
walked a long way Into the forest
without *eelng anyone, and had It nol
been for the berries they found thev
would have starved.
C *ry
Jp c
The second day, Just as night cant
on. Joel said to his brother, "I am
sure I see smoke in Ihe distance, and
tl must be a house."
The smoke did come from a chimney,
Just a* Joel thought, and when they
tame near to it they say a Strang
looking house, built of stone and iron
bars ut nil the windows
Thev heard someone coming in an
swer to iheir pounding and they felt
mire now or something to eat, hut
when the door was opened they started
track, and Iwth boy a felt a little fright
ened in the strange creature that stood
before Ihem
But heffire they had recoverel
enough to ask for shelter and food the
strange creature said. "Come right in,
my dear*, and eat and drink, for I
know you must be tired."
The queer-looking creature was not
much taller than Joel or Amos, but
was much larger and broader; in fact,
h« looked a* big as three men all In
one. and hi* arm* and hand* were so
large he could hold a boy on each,
which was Just what he did aa aoon a*
he dosed the door.
Then he spread out a hand towarl
each bin, and said. "Jump on; I wi.l
carry you upstairs."
Joel and Amos obeyed this strange
command, and in a minute the hoys
were being carried up a long flight of
stone stairs on the hand of. the que-r
mail
When thev reached th* top he let
the boy* si tile off his hands to th*
floor and then they noticed for the
first time Ihal Iheir host had four feet
and four legs.
Ills eve* were so smalt they could
hardly be seen, and his hair grew so
long it fell over his shoulder*, and wn«
white His face was so fat It resem
bled a big pumpkin more than anv*
thing else. In color as well as sixty only
u was larger than any pumpkin Ihe
boy* had ever seen.
Joel was the first to apeak to this
Htrange ereature. "We are lost in thj
forest," he *aid, "and we have had lit
tle to eat since yesterday. Would you
he so kind as to give us food and shel
ter for the night. We will do any work
you may have We can dig In the gar
den or chop wood to pay you for what
you give u*."
"That you shall," said the man, “and
I will give you food und shelter and
you shall dig for me until you find It."
The boys did not ask what he meant
hy this strange promise, for before
they had time to think they were again
picked up by the strange man, and
this time he carried them by their coal
collars along u dark passage. Both
boys were terribly frightened, but
when they smelled food, ns they did
In a minute, they thought it might be
only the etrange way their strange
boat had of treating his guesta, and
l>y Hie time they were put on their
feet they were not at all frightened.
"Tl ire I* your supper; eat all you
want," said the man.
At a long table In <he room where
they stood were ten boys, about the
aame age as Joel and Anms, and they
were eating from Idg, steaming dishes
Joel and Amo» did not need a second
bidding, and when they had found a
bowl and spoon and were eating, the
queer man went out anti left them
alone
Joel and Amos were eating all the
time, so that when old Pumpkin Head
opened the door in a few minutes they
were well filled and ready to work,
although they thought It strange to he
working hy candle light and wondered
where they were to dig.
"Com* along, now. all of you laxy
hones." said old Pumpkin Head, and
he drove the hoy* in front of him with
a long whip he carried
But when they reached Hie top 'f
the stairs all Ihe boys stopped, and old
Pumpkin Head went In front of them
and spread out Ills big hands.
This time he took two hoys on each
hnnd and carried them down the stairs,
returning until all were placed on the
ground.
Joel and Amos had noticed the floor
was covered with boards when they
came In, hut now It was one big hoi-,
with the aides wide enough to stand
on.
Old Pumpkin Head took each boy
and dropped him Into the hole, and
the* all began to dig. and tomorrow
1 will tell you h«w they worked and
what happened to m»ke all the hoys
happy.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
To read of a battle in which 3,000,-
000 men are engaged naturally raises
visions of wholesale slaughter. All the
uppliances of modern warfare are de
signed to that end; all the skill and
science of the greatest military ex
perts are directed to that purpose.
Yet, basing estimates on authentic
historical records, there is good reason
to assume that the number of men
killed In any one battle in France will
be surprisingly low when compare!
with the death-rate under normal cir
cumstances among the same number
of men At Gettysburg, for instance,
ihe death rate per 1,000 was 55.5, the
highest in twenty-one battles in the
civil war. According to the figures
published by the Northwestern Mutual
l.ife Company in the American Experi
ence Table of Mortality, for every 1,000
men living at theage of forty-nine
there will be £5.6 deaths before reach
ing the age of fifty-three. For ail

“CEREAL STORIES”
"I like the Cereal stories that appear from
time to time in the newspapers"— said a witty wo
man.
She referred, of course, to the popular break
fast food advertising.
There is more than jest in her statement, for
news that bears such an intimate relaiton to the
home and the table is of immense interest.
The Cereal Stories are only one of many inter
esting features of newspaper advertising.
Indeed, no part of the daily newspaper is of
greater personal advantage to the reader than the ad
vertising.
That is why newspaper advertising gives such
splendid returns to those who us it.
MORTALITY IN BATTLE
purposes, this is exactly the same rate
of mortality as that on the field of
Gettysburg. That is to say, each sol
dier had the same chance of surviving
the battle of Gettysburg that a man
now forty-nine years old has of living
to be fifty-three. At the -battle of
Chancellorsville the death rate among
the soldiers engaged was 20.3 per 1,-
000. According to the life-insuraneo
tables, tne death rate per 1,000 among
men .i peaceful pursuits ranging in
age from forty-two to forty-four
exactly the same. Every soldier at
Shiloh, where the death-rate in battle
was 42.2 per 1,000, had the same chance
of escaping alive as the average man
of thirty has of reaching the age of
thirty-five.
These figures are surprising in show
ing how far we are likely to be lei
astray fn calculating the relative mor
tality m battle.

NOT PREMEDITATED,
SAYS BERNSTORFF
Naw York. —Count von Bernstorff,
German ambassador to the United
States, declared today tt was “prepos
terous to suppose that the destruction
of the cathedral at Rheims was a pre
meditated act.”
“It would seem from certain pub
lished reports,” Count von Bernstorff
continued, “that the destruction of this
grand old edifice was the result if
madee. This is ridiculous. I am posi
tive that the attack on the cathedral
at Rheims was not willful. However,
I believe this is a case of hyper-sym
pathy. For my part, I feel much more
for the thousands of men who have
sacrificed their lives, although I re
gret as much as any man the destruc
tion of such a beautiful work of art.”
QUEBEC WANTS REGIMENT.
Montreal, Quebec. —A delegation if
prominent French-Canadians will visit
Ottawa shortly to obtain the sanction
of the prime minister for incorpora
tion of a regiment recruited in Quebec
for foreign service in the next con
tingent sent from Canada.
The presence of a French-Canadian
regiment at the front, members of the
delegation say, would do away once
and for all with the suggestions that
have been made that the war is not
popular in Quebec.
