DIED WITH HIS CHUM.
A Deed of HcrolJutl Tlint 8!rrod fin
Entire Army.
In the reminiscences of General Sir
Bvolyn Wood, himself a bravo English
soldier, a touching Instance of courage
- and self sacrlllcc is given. Quo June
day In 1883 a detachment of EiiRllsli
marines was crossing the Wororizow
road under flro from the ltussiau bat
teries. All of tho men reached sheltei
In the trenches except a senmau, John
. Blowitt. As bo was running a tcrrlllc-
roar wns beard. Ills mntes knew the
volco of u bugu cannon, tho terror of
tho army, and yelled:
"Look outl It is Whistling Dick!"
But at tho moment Blowitt wnc
struck by tho enormous mass of Iron
on tho knees and thrown to tho ground.
Ho called to bis special chum:
"Oh, Welch, savo me!"
The fuso was hissing, but Stephen
Welch run out of tho trenches and,
seizing the groat shell, tried to roll it
off bis comrade.
It exploded with such torrlflo force
that not an atom of tho bodies of
Blowitt and Welch was found. Even lu
that tluio when each hour had Its ex
cltement tills doed of heroism stirred
tho whole English army. One of tho
officers searched out Welch's old moth
er In her poor home and undertook her
support while sho lived, and tho story
of his death helped bis comrades to
nobler conceptions of a soldier's duty.

Improve each Blilulng bour by stinging
the human race.
This bee carries a stinger, but only
as an evidence of good faith and to
prove that it Is a bee and not for
shooting purposes.
This is ouly in line with progress.
We have the wireless telegraph, the
horseless carriage, the spineless states-

With the introduction of this gentle
and well broken honey maker the small
boy will not have to bid goodby to his
parents as he goes to ulay in the woods.
But, after all, will that be any way tc
raise children?
It has always been regarded as a
part of the development of the youth

early childhood and the left ear.

too easy. Somebody will be coming
