"It was my Rood fortune to b permitted to entertain the soldiers of our allies as well as our own boys in the hospitals. One morning, it was St. forge's day, I entertained at a hospital a number of Uritish boys who Were wounded at the Battle of the i Summe. I felt more honored standing before the wounded, soldiers of OUT Allies in hospital wards somewhere in France' than 1 would had I been before kings and queens in their castles. 1 I enjoyed entertaining Tommy Atkins ' s.nd hio mates so much that instead of taking the customary time. 1 spent the whole morning telling them stories, etc. Some of the lads had to be propped up in bed but never lost their (HfhtiTig spirit. Kvery one of them was anxious to get back into the fray, i "I was talking with a little English chap who had been shot through the mouth, tho bullet coming out at the 1 back of his neck, taking a few of his lower teeth and splitting his tongue. By way of remark I said: "Well. Tommy, how does it feel to bite 'em off?' 'Hell.' said Tommy. 'I've been eatin' ' " " ""- ; was a little 'ot and it burned right t 1 ... .!.(.. 1 - i through.

Chats with YOUR Gas Man The luxuries of vesterdav Jiave become the necessities of today. We have only to think, of gaa, telephone?, electric lights and street car? to appreciate this, and to wonder how people ever lived without them. Thanks to our public utilities, the most efficient form of co-operative business, these services have becoms jcommonplace: things of daily !life. Gas service, for in- ; stance, is at our command so easily that we accept and ue it as a matter of course, : without a thought of how it ; got here. Yet it has not simply "happened, or, like Topsy, "just growed." The story of its origin, growth and place in the life of the nation is romance made reality. It shos the result of labor, investment' and directing genius, all uniting to render a service, to indispensable as to dserve the good-will of every; community fortunate enough' to obtain it.
