One day just aa the ushers began to take the collection, Tommy noticed that a guest In the family pew was not duly provided. Sliding along the seat, he whispered: "Where's your penny?"

the tracks to get the warm food, and just as we were starting we were stopped by a crew of Captain Detzer's military police. They said they had j orders not to let us mix with the French people! in the station. So we had to remain hungry all that night, and until the next day." .Captain Detzer, like "Hard-Boiled" Smith, is accused of maltreating doughboy prisoners, and heaping indignities upon them. Why did higher officials so often make the mistake of choosing brutal and unfeeling individuals to discipline the erring? Evidently not all of the unfit officers

by

were assigned to the correction camps. The exdoughboy related further: . "Our outfit "was always hungry. After marching for hours in mud and rain, we 'would be limited to one slice of bread, a little 'slum', and cold, black coffee. For Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner each had only one slice of bread, one spoonful of canned salmon, and one spoonful of 'slum', with a little coffee." Continuing, the young veteran said he was sure that the great majority of officers were humane, and anxious to lighten the burdens of their men as much as possible. His experience with war, he said, gave him no enthusiasm for intervention in Mexico. The regular army organization deserves very great credit for its work in France in helping to achieve victory. Of its disciplinary methods, less can be said. These methods should be drastically reformed.

GERTRUDE. Gertrude, so charmingly feminine, has an origin In war. It signifies spear maid and comes originally from Ghernot second brother of Gunther, who though free of the guilt of the murder of Siegfried, shared the fate of his brothers by being killed early In . the encounter by the Markgraf Rudlger. Chief among the feminine names derived from this war-line pource is a Valkyr name Gerdrud or j Gerthrild. Many pretty maids of Northern lands bore it and considered themselves battle maids armed with the spear of Ithuriel. It was given popularity by a daughter of one of the great Pepins; she founded the Abbey of Nivelle and was revered by the Franks and Germans for the performance of miracles. The royal Gertrude was also a great favorite in Teutonic lands and the drinking of toasts to Saint Gertrude at banquets was almost a proverb for revelry. There was another 6t. Gertrude of royal blood, in Saxony, who became the Abbess of Heldelfs. il CSee a Hearst's Magazine December Bearet't Deambtr Eearst't December Hear ft December Beartt't

In Norway the woodpecker with black and white plumage and red head Is called the Gertrude bird and the legend goes that Gertrude was the name or-the woman who was baking bread when our Lord passed by and asked for a morsel; she promised it and straightway the dough began to

grow under ber hands. In an access of greed, she repented her promise and as a punishment she was turned into a woodpecker and condemned to seek her living between the bark and the wood and never to go home until the red should fall from her head. For that reason It is said, the woodpecker migrates from Norway when she begins to moult. England uses the name Gertrude without derivatives and employs only one diminutive: Gatty. She is Gertrude in France; Gertruda In Italy; Gertraud and Trudchen in Germany, and Gertrudes in Portugal. Her talismanlc gem is the garnet which possesses many of the same qualities of its relative, the ruby. It protects the bodily and mental health of its wearer; to dream of it signifies the solution of a mystery. Thursday Is Gertrude's lucky day; 6 is her lucky I number; and the snowdrop is said to be her flower.

THE QEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY T A I K r THE LAST WORD One of the readers of these little talks recently asked in to write on the topic of "Quarrels." Well, it's an Interesting subject tor we all know quite a lot about It But it takes TWO to make a quarrel. One cannot very well quarrel with himself tho it would be a good plan if a few took this method up. i ' - There Is a mistaken Idea, however, about how a quarrel should end. My Idea is that a quarrel should end before it is begun. But It misfortune goes so tar as to force a quarrel, then the last word should, end the quarrel. And the last word should always be the RIGHT word. Quarrels are always useless. There never was, and there never will be, a good quarrel. A quarrel never gets anywhere. And when It is over, both parties to it wish that it hadn't come around. My suggestion as to the bast manner ot handling a quarrel, after it has been started, is to say nothing. It then dies a very silent death! And your last word becomes the word you didn't speak. Quarrels are like cyclones you never know their direction or what damage they are going to do. I long ago made up my mind that I would get under cover the immediate minute that I saw a cyclone coming. And that's my advice to every one who sees a quarrel coming. Get under cover and don't come out again until it's gone tar on.

"Uefore taking Dreco It seemed like everything I at3 wont against me; caused pains in my stomach and bowels, gastritis and headaches.
