THE CONTRAST
Old Sam Swat was sawing
wood, earning 'ieven bits a day,
and he filled the neighborhood
with his cheerful, hopeful lay.
Twenty-seven hungry kids
looked to him for things to
eat. for their clothing and their
lids, and the cases for their
feet. And his work was mighty
I hard, but he didn't care a darn
sawing in the rich man’s yard,
just forninst the red brick
barn. "I have health ana
strength," he said "and I’ll
make the bucksaw hum;
there's a Providence o’erhead—
better tilings will surely come.
For their homes and for their
kinds, men may always do their'
best chirping like the katadids.
till the hour has come for
rest.” In the rich man’s
house there sat. while his tears
dripped to the floor, a poor
jaded plutocrat who had found
this life a bore. Long it was
since he had sung, long since
he had sprung a smile; arid he
said, with languid tongue;
“Nothing’s really worth the
while! I would give a million
j bones if I just knew how to
.sing in that fellow's joyous
tones, as he saws the wood, by
jing!” And if you have
strength and health, do not for
vast riches sigh; there are
things that Croseus’ wealth can
not for a moment buy.

Washington, Feb. 12—Word
coming from the City of Mex
wireless messages received
from one of the Italian wor
ships in Turkish waters, two
Dulgaran airshps flew over the
City of Galipolli yesterday of
lernoon, dropping bombs on the
fortifications and ships in the
harbor, doing, however little
damage except to badly fright
en many of the ignorant Turk
ish soldiers who there saw an
aeroplane for the first time.
The sensation of seeing one of
the huge machines hovering
over ones head dropping explo
sives cannot be very pleasant,
an dit not to be wondered at
that the raw levies fropi Asia
Miner flinched and many of
them ran away trying to find
cover. German. Russian, Eng
lish and Italian warships are
in the offing watching the at-j
Jacji on Gallipolli, am^ ificiden7 j
tly standing ready to offer a|
rescue in case any of the ves-1
sels in the harbor are sunk by
the shells of the Allies fired j
from thy Gulf pf Saros side of j
the peninsula. The Greek ships
have effectually corked the en
trance to the Dardanelles, and
there is every probability that

Isupplieg in Constantinople will

garians reventing any supplies

Constantinople, Feb, P—The
enemy launched a general at
tack against the Turkist lines
beyond Tchatalja yesterday but
were repulsed with great
slaughter except at one or two
unimportant points, which they
'carried. Fresh Turkish guns
were concentrated on these
places during the night, and
the lire is now so intense on
them that the Bulgars will be
unable to hold them.
-*
Sophia, Feb. 8—A general
advance under cover of a strong
artillery fire was made yester
day against the Turkish lines
defending Constantinople with
fair success. The Turkish
trenches had been materially
strengthened during the peace
period, but were carried at
many places at the point of the
bayonet, the Bulgarian troops
advancing with great bravery
in the face of a terrible fire of
rifle and cannon. The cap
tured points will be strength
ened, and the Bulgar lines ad
vanced to take them in. It is
at most only a matter of a few
days until the Turk' will be
forced to evacuate this entire
line of defense.

London, Feb. 8—The Bulgar
ians have withdrawn the bulk
of their veteran fighters from
agound Adrianople and trans
ported them ld~fiallipolIi. The 1
Servian army has replaced the
Bulgarians at Adrianople. The ;
fighting seems to have center

either, Constantinope mu-t sur- 1
