Blessed is the wife who is not too strenuous in managing her silent partner. It is hard to realize there was a time when there were only two flies in the world. As a rule times are not as hard as a man tells his wife they are when she asks for money. Most of us worry a great deal for fear people will find out things about us they already know. The reason more women than men apply for divorce is that a man can stand more punishment than a woman. Marriage is the ceremony which binds a woman to work for her l>oard and clothes for the remainder of her natural life. Army Doctor—Have you had any experience in nursing?

At first we were positive we did not write that ‘ ‘Ode to the Saxson,” but after reading the Sentinel’s criticism, we were left a little in doubt about it. How ever, after perusing Bede’ s last able (?) editorial on the subject, we are almost fully persuaded that we did write it. Now if the real author don’ t come forth and accuse us of plagiarism our fame is assured. | Four more homes made happy.

Ford Petrograd, via London.-rAn official communication concerning the prog ress of the campaign as Issued from general headquarters states: "The enemy made a most desperate resistance to our offensive. “ They had brought up every avail able man on the front from the direc tion of Uartfeld as far as Uzsok Pass, including even German troops and numbers of cavalrymen fighting on foot. The enemy's effectives on this front exceeded 400 battalions. (An Austrian or German battalion num bers 1000 men.) Moreover, our troops had to overcome great natural diffi culties at every step. "Nevertheless, 18 days after the opening of our offensive, the bravery of our troops enabled us to complete the task assigned and we had seized the principal chain of the Carpathians on a front between Reghetov and Vol- osate, of 110 versts (about 75 miles). "To sum up: On the whole Carpa thian front, the enemy has suffered enormous losses and has left in our hands in prisoners alone at least 70,- 000 men, including about 900 officers. Further, we have captured 30 guns and 200 machine guns. “ On April 16 the actions in the Car pathians were concentrated in the di rection of Rostokl. "The enemy, despite the enormous losses suffered, delivered In the course of that day no less than 16 attacks in great strength. These attacks, all of which were absolutely barren of re sult, were made against the heights we have occupied farther to the east of Telepotch.” Are w e g o in g t o celebrate July 4, o r g o fishing?
