"They talk about the awful things In modern warfare'" said Mr. Lear this morning, "but 1 want to tell you thul war Is war, and the har rowing scenes that 1 saw then and took part In, the privations ard hardships I endured and the terrible hell of the whole thing make mo feet that one wrr Is Just about on tho same plane. Insofar as human suffering Is concerned, as any ether war. ' I had hoped to live to sec the day when wars would be a thing of tho post. Our boasted twentieth century civilization Is a sham and a farce until this la on accomplish ed and accepted fact among all civilized people." i' Onco Htore Owner Mr. Lear has an interesting story, but ono docs not get It In a single conversation. The writer has known hl;n intimately for ten years and It Is only by catching him "off guard". as It were, from time to time, that lie "opens up" and gives a little Inside picture of tho many Interest lug things that have happened In his century lite.

Ho tlll feels kind. ly , to the old blacks that served him su, . fu!hfullj- aud ' while ho realizes that Lincoln was right about slavery ho still wonders whother freedom has Improved their condition. .

It was tho most wonderful sight I ever saw. These who have read about thl famous event will recull that It was afterwards found out thot tho earth had passed through the tail ot flying comet, giving tho Impression that tho stars had descended on tho earth.
