Hang went both our Mace togethera and without a setcand thought we ran fed, the trenches, the Russians following, with hoarSe Yells, at our heels. This was a common incident. -Often we were attacked three or four times intone night, and our ordere wore to lire tand n fall bath o•the. picquet, who in Ilaro, would fall back fighting on the trekhes.

SPY'S WIPE WAS PERSISTENT Practically Forced lanasia to a Official Et efencebt Him. , Within. a month Germany's bis lawyers will congregate at Leipzi to take part in one of the most ha tereeting spy trials, of recent times The 'Meal will be heard in earlier in the Supreme Court, but eitoug is known to whet public appetite fo more details. If the prisoner, Captain Koste- vitch of the St, Petersburg Oaval ry escapes prolonged imprison anent it will be due to hip wife, surely one of the most persistent members; of her sex. First she worked through the Rusaian Embassy in Berlin, but at last she decided that they were not up to her standard of effectiveness, so she bombarded headquarters at St. Petersburg 'With letters and telegrams till she won attention by sheer persistence. The Russian Ambassador was ordered to find first-olass lawyers to defend Ca,p- tam Kostevitch and to expend $25,- 000 on the expenses. But though it is believed Koste- vitch was nob a regular agent of the Russian War Department, the German authorities profess to have evidence enough to prove his guilt, whether he was an independent spy or not. Their sleuths started to dog his footsteps immediately he arrived in Germany three or four months ago, as indeed the dog' tbe goings and comings of any Russian or 'English- man with any appepaanee of a mili- tary man. Day and night their eyes were on him and every action was' noted. - First he was alone at a small hotel, and then his -wife joined him and made some show of being 'a student of dentistry. Then Another Russian' named Nikolski appeared on the scene. 'While Captain Kos- tevitch professed to be experiment- ing in chemistry, Nikolski gave out n that he was studying factory me- thods at Dusseldtaf. By this method they were able for was weeks to travel about and g act; in co-operation. The authori- ties declare they somehow or an- . other gained possession of valuable a military secrets, and the hearing is h expected to reveal a -remarkably ingenious scheme of espionage. .14 HOW TO TAKE A SEN -BTL Said to Be a Certain Cure for Many Diseases.

The prospective sun- bather should get into an ordinary bathing costume, and lie down an a convenient spot on a rug. Care should he taken to secure a position well out of the wind, and, of course, the body must be moved about every ten minutes to avoid undue burning of any specific part of the amatetny. Also, a birth should ne- ver by any ;chance last longer than an hour. Dizziness, extreme ex- citement, even laird/Jess, will he the inevitable result, should this warn- ing be disregarded. The sun -bath is said "be be an al- most infallible cure for certain skin diseases, for undue cotpulence, and run-down nerves, Pethaps the cult of the sun -bath is most popular at a small place, near Berlin, where the adherents of the new and ;simple cure have formed themselves into an associa- tion. ,,i EXTRA A INEZ ., ‘ , k q . 4 ' ' .- . , k'\ . ,,,N . •t4 , "sYe old 04 sager teafe." !•'\ Ikr. 1,18N THe CANADA 3 S _UGAR a EFI RING CO 1 f• k..k What kind of a silo will yours be?' ood—or Concrete.?
