SLEPT ON THE MARCH.
Tired Soldiers Who Actually Walked
While They 8lumhered.
Is an artk-le, “Sleep Fur ihe Sleep-/
.teas.*' In the World's Work the author
quotes an eminent surgeon who made
a study of sleep In the French army
follows;
“In the retreat from Mons to the
Manic we had an extraordinary human |
experiment in which several hundred
thousand men secured little sleep dur
ing nine days and in addition made
forced marches and fought one of the
greatest battles in history.
"How. then, did these men survive
nine days apparently without opportu- i
nity for sleep? They did an extraordi j
nary thing—they slept while they |
marched! Sheer fatigue slowed down i
their paoe to u rate that would permit |
them to sleep while walking. When !
they halted they fell asleep. They |
slept In water and on rough grounds ;
when suffering the pangs of hunger i
and thirst and even when severely 1
wounded. They cared not for capture, j
not even for death, if only they could i
sleep. !
“The unvaried testimony of the sol .
diers was that every one at times |
slept on the march. They passed i
through villages asleep. When sleep |
deepened they were awakened by com I
rades. They slept in water, on stones, j
in brush or in the middle of the road i
as if they had suddenly fallen in death. j
With the ever oncoming lines of the
enemy no man was safe who dropped
out of the ranks, for no matter on I
what pretext he fell out sleep con- I
rjuered him. Asleep many were cap- !
tured. That the artillery men slept on
horseback was evidenced by the fact
that every mau lost his cap."

LOOK OUT OF YOUR WINDOW.
Mayhap You Art M Easing a Wondarful
Moving -Picture Show.
Houses are so common, iteople are
so (simmon, and windows are so oom
inon! How rare It Is for any one to
realise how imixirtant it is to stand
up and look out'of a window! Have
you, for example, ever looked out
of every window in your house? If
uot try It and see what a new idea you
will get of the universe.
Just looking out of one window is
a wonderful thing to do. We d<> It
sometimes when there is a big storm
raging, and what a sensation we get!
Clouds burst, the rain washes down in
torrents. We think maytie the world
is coming to an end. Out of the win
dow, even In placid weather, there is
always a great sight. We have a re
served seat to the greatest show now
going on. About everything is hap
(>euiiig out there that there is! Streams
of universal knowledge flow In upon
us through that window. Ail our
senses become revitalized.
Out of every window there is a I
most always a tree in sight some
where, even In the city. Take note of
that tree, with its roots deep In the
soil and its branches spreading out
into the air. That tree will connect
you up with Mother Earth. Then there
is always the sky, leading you into un
known depths of thought and feeling,
and there are always people passing
world comrades! It is the greatest
moving picture show in the world.
Life.
Teamwork on a Battleship.
The problem of naval expansion
would not be so hard were it not for
the fact that every ship needs such u
great number iiMts crew, because the
greater the number of men that must
work together as "a team” the greater
the difficulty of accomplishing the
“teamwork” and the longer the time
required. In a ship, especially in a
targe ship like a battleship or battle
cruiser, most of the men work together
in large groups, such as turret crews,
too men qoineiimes composing a tur
ret crew. Nevertheless the ship and
all the men it floats are bound togeth
er by invisible cords that make a ship
a unit, and the major effect ot the
training and of the drills of all kinds
is to make the whole a living organ
ism.—Rear Admiral Bradley A. Flskr
in World’s Work.
Waterloo.
Sir Walter Scott once Baid that the
loss of tbe battle of Waterloo threw
half Britain into mourning, yet tbe
casualties of England and her allies
were only 22,428. which included tbe
wounded and missing. The French are
supposed to have lost/31,000 or 32.000.
as many of the exhausted men were
tramp|ed on by the troops of Bluecher.
but owing to Napoleon's exile to St
Helena no accurate record could be
made.
Theatrical Note.
“There's no demand for tragedians
any more.” „
"Then why not go with tbe tide and
be a comedian, old top?"
“Oh, 1 couldn't be funny if I tried!”
"That isn't necessary.” — Louisville
Courier-Journal. ,
Arthur’s 8eat.
What is known as Arthur’s Seat is a
bill east of Edinburgh, the capital of
Scotland. It is a strange formation in
tbe shape of a lion and is 822 feet
bigb, yet the ascent is an easy one, and
from the summit a glorious view is
gained.
Her 8ort.
Alice—What kind of girl has Jack
engaged himself to? Rose—Oh, she's
the sort of woman you never dare ask
to luncheon for four she’ll stay to din
ner.—Exchange. —
Grief can take care of Itself, but to
get the full value of u Joy you must
Uave somebody to divide it with.—Mark

Convict to Buy Bonds
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19.—
A letter came from a prisoner in the
Connecticut State Penitentiary asking
where and how to place a subscription
for $1500 worth of liberty bonds.
“ As I am unable, in my present
position, to be of service to my coun
try, in the manner in which 1 prefer,”
he wrote. "1 should like very much
to purchase two liberty loan bonds,1
one of $1000 and one of $500 and |
help out a little in that way.”
