A LONDON WAR SHRINE
Long Files of English Women Pay
Tribute to Their Dead.
In a picturesque corner of Hyde
Park not far from the noisy thorough-
fares over which much of London's
traffic passes, is a war shrine, in the
shape of a cross, where visitors may
get sonic idea of the sorrow of a
country which for four years has been
weighted down by the ravages of war.
"All last week," says the Dispatch,
e'the slow-moving streams of gray-
haired mothers, grief -worn wives, sis-
ters, daughters, sweethearts, passed
the shrine, the masses of flowers were
piled higher and higher, the fresh
fragrance of those of to -day mingling
With faint scent of yesterday's paler
bloseems.
"There were working, woman wird
joolc a part of their luncheon hour to
oin that little procession round the
shrine, there were children who name
in the late afternoon and old men who
passed as twilight drew near.
"Yesterday there 'was a little wo-
rnnn in black who came and laid a
small bunch of roses as near the Un -
hon Jack as she could, On a card she
had written, 'In memory of Will, my
youngest boy,' and near those fresh
roses were roses • of the day before
'to John' and the day before that 'to
George.'
"Three sons the little woman in
black had given, three cards, the
loosely tied bunches of flowers she
bad laid upon the war shrine. One
mement she paused to speak to ono
of the Greon Cross girls. 'I. shall
eomo again in a few weeks,' she said,
With eyes that worn moist and lips
that smiled bravely, and then she
walked slowly away out of the park
to a lonely home."

In a certain hospital the patients
were very badly fed, and looking for-
ward to an inspection, when they
could lodge a complaint.
When one day the inspecting -officer
came round, one Tommy was deter-
mined not to miss this opportunity.
"What's your complaint?" asked
the officer.
"Trench fever."
"Oh! And what is the diet?" con-
tinued the officer solicitously.
"Two sucks at the thermometer

T7•IE SIMPLE AFRICAN
How the Sights and Customs of
Civilization Affect Him.
It is an amusing speculation to pic-
ture one of our remote ancestors sud-
denly transported through time from
the homely days, say of the seven-
teenth century, to the hustling, bustl-
ing days of the present. "How his
eyes would open at our marvelous in-
ventions!" we say. The nearest we
can come to bringing that to pass is
i
to bring out suddenly to civilization
some of the tribesmen who have never
before left their jungle homes and
yvho have never heard of engines or
ore • Tire
telephones of motion let I1. .
P P
imagine our remote ancestor as stand-
ing in awe before our wonderful de-
vices. Perhaps we would laugh at
them, too, as some of the West Afri-
can tribes did on their way to the
front in German East Africa. A
writer in Blackwood's tells about
them.
The wildest excitement prevailed on
board, he says. Many of these na-
tives had never seen the sea, and very
few had ever sailed upon it. They
believed most things their officers told
them, but it was of no use to tell
them that men built this great float-
ing town. No. Allah must have made
it! Pointing to the two steams tugs
lying side by side in the harbor, they
asked how soon it would take these
lesser craft to grow to the size of the
transport, which must be their moth-
er. The tables and benches on the
troop deck of the ship were an un-
necessary encumbrance to the black
men, who knew not whether to sit on
the tables and rest their feet on the
benches, or to sit on the benches, us-
ing the tables as a support for their
backs. When the officers began to
issue the usual hammocks there was
the wild excitement of children with
a new and wonderful toy. Climbing
in at one side the black men fell out
at the other, and thought it all the
greatest fun in the world.
The navigation of the ship 'wag a
mystery to the Africans. The popu-
lar theory was that we were pulled
Owe; by a wire under the sea. Many
attached considerable 'importance to
the log line on the stern of the ship,
sukposing that it somehow enabled
the skipper to find his way across the
ocean, while a few maintained that
it was a means of catching fish. Our
many endeavors to convince the Afri-
cans that the earth is round were in-
variably met with ribald laughter. In
vasa did we expound the principles of
wireless. They thought it all capital
sport, and roared with laughter at
these jokes of their officers.
When we reached Durban the peo-
ple invited the Africans to a moving -
picture show. Tho two hours we spent
in that theatre are beyond my des•
cription. From beginning to end, no
matter whether the screen was blank
or displayed the most stjl''ring scenes,
the men gave themselves up to one
frenzied tumult of laughter. The dig-
nified inspection of a wrecked Zep-
pelin by Mr. Balfour and Mr. Lloyd
George provoked as great an outburst
of mirth as the most extravagant
Charlie Chaplin farce, The blank that
follows the completion of a film was
regarded as ono of the best practical
Jokes in the world.
The rest of our voyage yeas un-
eventful, but the Africans will ever
remember our arrival at Dar es Sala-
am, for their they sewhejr first air..
plane. It atnniai+ea high overhead
above our h.Htf in a cocoanut planta-
tion. It circled and came lower, and
the Africans could See the two men
and a machine guri that they had re-
fused to believe were carried in the
aeroplane.
"But how on earth," they asked
"do those men get any food?"
"0 fool!" came the answer. "Of
course they catch birds!"

SEVEN BROTHERS KILLED
An Amazing Tale of t'ie War -Re-
garding An Australian Soldier.
The Agent -General for New South
Wales issues the following remark-
able statement regarding
an Aus-
tralian soldier's military career.
Staff Sergeant W. F. Payne, Aus-
tralian an Im aril1 Force, to whom e
cottage at Darlington, ton
, N.S.W.,
has
recently been erected by voluntary
labor, and who has a wife and three
children, has had an amazingly rom-
antic career in the military service.
Five of his brothers were killed at
Mons, one at Bullecourt, another else-
where in France, and two in the Boer
war, while his only living brother lost
a leg at Mons. The father of this
family of eleven fighters, now 78, is
a Lieut: Colonel in charge of Bigley
rifle range.
Sergeant Payne enlisted in Sydney
in August, 1914, the day after war
was declared. He took part in the
famous landing at Gallipoli, and was
wounded. Later he was blown up by
a shell, and was rendered blind for
nine weeks, deaf for ten weeks, and
dumb for four and a half months. He
regained his speech in a Sydney the-
atre by the startling effect of a stage
episode.

This new drug Is an ether mem-

chemist. It is called
freezone, and can now
be obtained in tiny bot-
tles as here shown at
very little cost from any
drug store. Just ask
for freezone. Apply a
drop or two directly
?Fti; upon a tender corn or
callus and instantly the
soreness disappears.
Shortly you will and
the corn or callus so
loose that you can lift it
off, root and all, with
the fingers.
Not a twinge of pain,
soreness or irritation;
not even the slightest
smarting, either when
applying freezone or
II afterwards.
' u This drug doesn't eat
up the corn or callus,
but shrivels them so
they loosed and come right out, It is
no humbug! It works like a charm.
For a few cents you can get rid of
every hard corn, soft corn or corn be-
tween the toes, as well es painful
calluses on bottom of your fent. It
never disappoints and never burns,
bites or inflames. If your druggist
basn't any freezone yet, tell him to
get a little bottle for you from his
wh01oyale house.

The quick wit of a traveling sales-
man, who has since become a vwell-
known proprietor•, was severely tested
one day. He sent in his card by the
office boy to the manager of a large
concern, whose inner once was separ-
ated from the waiting room by a
ground glass partition.
When the boy handed his card to
the manager the salesman saw him
impatiently tear it in half and throw
it in the waste basket; the boy came
out and told the caller that he could
not see the chief.
The salesman told the boy to go ply,
back and get him his card; the boy
fereeved.

A lady, who had a very slow servant
girl, noticed that it took the girl al-

have been accomplished in an hour.

scrubbing with a song, and one day
the mistress was alarmed at the slow
progress she made. -
