A Zealous Senegamblan Who Mistook
a Friend For An Enemy..
Not all perils that Allied officers en-
countered in France 'were from the
enemy. So, at least, Lieut. Charles
Bateman of the A. E. F. reported with
feeling, after a little experience that
Capt, Swan relates in My Company.
He was returning in the side car of
a motor cycle from a trip in search of
dugouts for some of the men who
were going up later to a new position.
It was dusk, and on reaching a stretch
of road where he had been warned
that a German sniper concealed in a
wood near by had recently shot a sen-
try he gave the word to his driver for
full speed ahead. The car dashed for-
ward; but at the next village a senti-
nel in French uniform leaped to the
middle of the road, and the officer re-
membered that the place 'sad that day
been taken over by the French. He
leaned out and hastily gave the pass-
word for that, night: "Abbeville Al-
bert"
l-bert"
The sentinel, Capt. Swan relates,
stood there in a crouching position at
"Charge bayonets!" Charley after-
wards swore that that piece of sharp
steel was four feet long. In answer to
his password the sentinel merely
shook his bayonet and said, "B -r -r -h!"
"No monsieur, you don't understand.
Le mot est Abbeville Albert."
Again came the determined shake
of the bayonet and "B -r -r -h!"
Declining his driver's suggestion
that the manwas crazy and they had
better ride him down the officer cer gat
out to explain. He went up to the.
end of the steel pigsticker, leaned
over it and discovered that the French
sentry was as black as night. In his
very best French he commanded:
"Appelez vans, s'il vous plait, le Ca-
poral de garde, ou le Sergent, ou les
Offici r8'"s, ou somebody!"
The only reply was another
"13-r-r+h!„
The sentinel was a newly arrived
Senegamblan, who could speak neither
French nor English, but he was very
much on the job. Lieut. 'Bateman had
picked up, a word or two of Senegam-
liian from the French troops; but he
was not sure of their meaning and
dared not try then; lest they should
be "cuss words," He reached for his
papers, but they were in his hip pock•
et, and the moment his right hand
moved toward it the Senegamhian sus-
pected a weapon. He flourished his
bayonet, cocked his rifle, and uttered
many and menacing "B-r-r-h's." It.
was no use. The lieutenant put up
his hands above his head.
Finally a wagon train hove in sight
corning down the hill, and the officer
shouted to them to keep away—and
send some one quick to "get a regular
Frenchman to conte down here and tell
this black fellow that I am one of his
pals. Hurry up, for I don't think I
have very long to live;"
For the ten minutes of the messen-
ger's absence he waited, with the
steel pigsticker resting on his rotund
stomach, with the rifle behind it
cocked, and a wild, determined Afri-
can soldier behind that. When the
"regular Frenchman" at last arrived,
the sentry cheerfully removed his
bayonet, grinned, and came to present
arms—a salute returned with infinite
relief by the United States officer,
Necessary Precaution.
"War brought out one salient trait
of the Canadian people," said Squire
Blank the other day. "It is adaptabili-
ty. I do not suppose you could have
found anywhere else in the world a
body of men so unversed in war as
the average Canadian. A great many,
in fact the majority, were as green as
young Gidley.
"Gidley was a raw recruit just en-
rolled in a crack cavalry regiment and
his first -
paying visit to a riding school,
"'Here's your horse,' said the in-
structor, and Gidley advanced gingerly
and took hold of the bridle. Then he
examined his menet minutely and,
pointing to the saddle -girth, asked:
"'What's it got that strap around its
waist for?'
"'Well,' answered the instructor,
without cracking a smile, 'all our
horses have a sense of humor, They
like to laugh, and sometimes, when
there are remits around, we have to
put on those straps to keep 'em from
bustin' their sides.'"
Some mien are like silver-plated
knives. They ` look bright, but are
usually dull.

A GRAND MEDICINE
FOR LITTLE ONES
Mrs. Avila Noel, Haut Lameque, N.
B., writes:—"I can highly recommend
Baby's Own Tablets as they have
worked wonders in the case of illy
baby. I always keep thein in the
house and would not feel safe without
them." What Mrs. Noel says con-
cerning Baby's Own Tablets is just
what thousands of other mothers say
and feel. The Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which. regulate the
bowels and stomach, thereby banish-
ing constipation, colic, indigestion and
a host of the other minor ailments of
little ones. The Tablets are absolute-
ly guaranteed to
'be free from opiates
'
o narcotics or any of the other drugs
so harmful to the welfare of the baby.
They cannot possibly do harm ---they
always do good. They are solei by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from: The D'r, t3rfliiams'

BEES USED IN BATTLE
History Furnistes Two Well Authen-
ticated Instances.
Probably the most remarkt•.blbe
weapons of war ever used were
swarms of bees. There are at least
two .well authenticated instances of
the use of this novel and stinging
war material.
The first is related by Appian of
the siege - of Themisevra in Pontus,
by Lucullus, in his war against
Mithridates. Turrets were brought
up, mounds were built, and huge
mines were made by the Romans.
The people of Themiseyra dug open
these nines from above, and through
the holes cast down upon the work-
men bears and other wild animals,
together with swarms of bees.
The second instance occurred in
Enilant. The Danes and Norwegians
were attacking Chester, held by the
Saxons and some Gallic auxiliaries.
After adopting stoning . and boiling
water in vain against the besiegers,
the Saxons threw down all the bee-
hives (In the town upon the attackers,
who were soon routed.
Good breeding s4oek will be valu-
able' for years to come. Keep the
herd and fleck up to a high- standard.
There are few homes in Canada that
were not. touched by the sorrow that
trailed in the wake of the Spanish
Influenza epidemic. Estimates of the
loss of life caused by this epidemic
show that it was almost as great as
the losses caused by the war, and
these take no account of .the baneful
after-effects which ars sometimes as
fatal as the disease itself,
Victims of the disease are general-
ly left with impovehi:shed blood and
a weakened system. In this condi-
tion they are exposed to many dang-
ers unless precautions are taken to
enrich the blood and strengthen the
nerves. The debility that invariably
follows influenza is not a disease of
any organ, it is a genera' condition
of unfitness. It mutt be met by a
remedy whose good results will be
quickly felt throughout the entire
systezn. In this +condition: Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills will be found in-
valuable. The mission of this medi-
cine is to enrich the blood. and this
new, red blood carries renewed
health and strength to every part of
the body. The ease of Mrs. George
Louder, Hamilton, Ont., proves the
value of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills in
cases of this kind. Airs, Louder
says: --"I had a very severe attack of
Spanish influenza which left me pale
and very weak. My appetite com-
pletely failed me and the least noise
would startle me auil make me cry.
I was under doctor's care, and final-
ly he advised me to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and I had not been taking
them long before I could tell they
were helping me. I used altogether
nine or ten boxes and am now feeling
as well as ever I did in my life. I be -
Rove if it had not been for these
pills I would have been a chronic in-
valid,"
Suer proof as this must be interest-
ing to everyone who suffered from an
attack of influenza, and who still feel
in any way weakened as the result of
the trouble. It points the way to new
health and strength, and if you are
one of the sufferers you should avail
yourself of this medicine at once. You
can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine, or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
e2,50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont,
Too Deep For Him.
An ambitious young author sent a
humorous paragraph to the editor of
a daily paper, Time passed and he
heard nothing, nor was it printed. So
he wrote to inquire about it.
"I sent you a joke about ten days
ago. I have heard nothing respecting
its safe receipt, and should be glad to
hear whether you have seen it?"
The editor's reply was as follows:
"Your joke arrived safely, but up to
the present we have not seen it!"

shaves
Laid you ever see a bar -
bar start to shave a cus-
tomer without strop-
ping his razor first?
Never! Isn't this fact
significant?
Stropping, you see, is
needed to reform the
saw -like edge that re-
sults from shaving; to
keep the blade free from
rust; and to give you
for each morning's
shave a keen -edged
blade. The self -strop-
ping feature of the
AutoStrop Razor pre-
serves the keen edge
that makes shaving
comfort,possible.
Stropping — shaving,
cleaning, are all done
without removing the
blade fromthe razor.

The Soft Answer.
Young Jimson had a reputation to
lceep up, He was regarded as a great
"'wit."
So one morning, when an nupopular
professor set the class to write an es-
say on "Manners," Jimson sprang to
his feet
"May we write on 'Bad Manners'?"
he asked, amid titters.
"Certainty." replied the professor
blandly. "Just write about what you
know best."
Thrifty Lad.
The other day a boy went to the
provision store and asked for "half a
dozen black hen eggs.
The grocer laughed, "Eggs from a
black hen!" he said. "Haw can you
tell them, my little man?"
"I can. My mother told Me how."
"Well, ]sere you are. Let me see
you pick them from the crate,"
The boy carefully selelcted the six
biggest eggs he could find, put down
the money on the counter, and said:
"These are black hen eggs I have
taken."

NEW GIANT C.R.R. LOCOMOTIVE.
Ten of the largest locomotives ever
built for use on Canadian railways
bave been under construction for
some time at the C.P.R. Angus Shops
in Montreal, and one of these, No.
5302. was inspected the other day by
President E. W. Beatty. and Vice-
president Grant Ilall. These loconho-
tives are of the heavy Mikado type
and are intended for freight service,
being designed and built under the
direct supervision of 1%Ir. W. H. Win-
terrowd, the Chief Mechanical Engi-
neer.
The weight of the engine and ten-
der in working condition . is 500,000
llbs., the engine alone weighing 323,-
000 lbs. The diameter of the driving
wheels is 63 inches. The cylinders
are 25' inches in diameter by 32 -
inch stroke, which with 200 -lbs. boiler
pressure makes these Locomotives
capable of exerting a maximum trac-
tive effort of 36,000 lbs. The diameter
of the boiler is SO inches at the back
end. The fire box is 84 inches wide
and 120 inches long, and the grates
are moved by steam grate shakers.
The cab is of the vestibule type,
which is the C.P.R. standard. end
every effort has been made to melte
the accommodations for the engine -
men as comfortable as possible. One
side of the cab is rtted with a clothes
locker 14 inches by 20 inches wide, in
which clothes can be hung and lunch
pails carried. k
The tender has a capacity for 12
tons of coal and 8,000 Imperial gallons
of water.
