Doubtless some, of 4he personal fol

Wisconsin is the home of a heavy

A few nights ago I sat in a canteen
in a small place near the Beacoast. I
was there just ttr spend one evening,

the boys I saw was Corporal Sam L.

Printing company prior to enltBting. Jim
Bowler of Pendleton vyis in his tent
with a bunch of other westerners when
I visited his 'camp. They were expect

of Mizpah church, who is greatly de

One of the things that never ceases
to astonish me is the versatility of the
American soldier. They have started a
little paper called The Splker, of which
T. W. Palmer is editor. I have been
put into the harness on account of my
newspaper training. The boys have
been asked to contribute short news
items or observations. Here is a short
item written by Private Jack Burroughs,
What "Private" Burroughs was in civil
life I do not know, but I know he can

arma toward heaven, and sank back again
into formlenf..
That ware waa my life.
Here is another contribution from one
of the soldier boys in the American field
ambulance. His poem is entitled "Hunka
Tin." and It is after Kipling quite a
bit in the rear, yet mighty clever. Here
it Is :

And no doubt you'll find the hood
Will rattle like a boiler-fhop en roule. .
The cooler's sure to boil.
And perhaps she's leaking oil.
And ofttimes the horn declines to toot.
But when the night is black.
And there's wounded to take back.
And they hardly give yorf time to take a smoke.
It's mighty good to feel, when you're sitting
at the wheel.
You'll be running when the bigger cars are
broke.
After all the wars are pat.
And we're taken home at last.
To our reward of which the preacher sings.
When those ukulele sharps
Will be strumming golden harps.
And the aviators ail have rrg lar wings.
When the kaiser is in hell.
With the furnace drawing well.

Incident Showing Intensity of Party
Feeling ln Civil War Days.
ln the same form that physicians now
know it is typical of a deranged mental
condition due to heart incompetency.
HI . . . . .
oiiumiess oi Dream is a common
symptom. It generally aooears on
slight exertion, and may be one of the
earliest indications that something is
wrong with thg heart. Palpitation is
often induced by gas accumulations from
overeating, or other digestive disturb
ances. A deranged heart, in turn, may
unfavorably affect the digestion.
One cannot fail to be impressed with
the frequency with which coffee, tea, at
alcohol and tobacco are mentioned as se
rious enemies to the best health ot the
heart. Lack of proper exercise is also a
factor In reducing the muscular ef
ficiency of the heart. In toning up the
heart muscle, like the development of
any other muscle, graded exercise under
a physician's guidance is desirable, in
fections which find a focus ln some
part of the body and send out germs Into
the blood stream often seriously Injure
the heart. Tonsillitis 'may be responsi
ble for heart weakness, in this way; aa
also may be rheumatism, or gonorrhoea,
or other infections.

In the Civil war days sentiment In
Oregon, as elsewhere, was divided, and
hard feelings rankled on all sides. Fami
lies were' rent with political animosities,
and the best of friends parted. An Inci
dent illustrates the temper of the times:
John Weaver and a party of friends In
1862 started for the mines In Eastern
Oregon. ; Weaver was a Breckenridgs
Democrat, as were his friends. On the
way they always tried to stop over night
at the houses of men politically friendly
to them. One night, in Polk county,
they arrived at the cabin of Have Goff.
Weaver requested board and lodging for
the night. He was questioned as to his
political beliefs.
"Well." he said, "we all been in hyeah
pahts about 15 ye'ahs. but we come front
Missouri an' you know what that
means."
Goff took them ln and put them up
for the night. In the morning they of
fered to pay for their lodging. Goff
would accept nothing.
"No, strangers," he declared, I
wouldn't accept any pay from you, be
cause you all are on the right side. But
If it was that dodgasted son-in-law of
mine, you can bet your last dollar I'd
make him pay."
The "dodgasted son-in-law" was
