of the fire trench, which had not eel.
Leen reached by the Turks. lie was
exposed for a moment to the Turks'
lifies at a distance or three yards. The
Turks were afraid to come round the
u•averse and lie held them there tar
considerhble time alone.
'Meanwhile the word had gone been:
"Officer wanted." Lieut. Hamilton eaw
the Turks jumping into the trench,
end began firing with Ills revolver;
leit the enemy Flint him through the
head. A eecond offieer was tient up.
Then Jaeka :Molded: "Look out, eir;
the TurIcs are in here.' The officer
asked Jacka if he would charge if he
(the offie.er) got some men so back
bim up, and Juke, said "Yes." The
efficer'e platoon was following him,
end he called for volunteers. "It's a
tutush job. Who will back Jacka, en?"
One of the leading men answered:
"It's sink or swim, we will come, eir,"
and the leading three went forward.
The moment the leading man put hie
mad round the corner he was hit in
three places and fell back, blocking
the trench. The exit from the treuch
at this end now being well held, Jiteka
jumped back from the fire trench few
the communication trench.
The officer told Jackie he would Wed
the exit and give the Turks the ime.
pression that he was going to Mingo
again. Juke said he would make nis
way round, through a communication
trench, to the other end of the flee
trench at the rear of the Turks. Th
plan worked excellently. The officer's
party threw two bombs and tired
eeveral shots into the wall of the
trench opposite them.
.Tacka made his way round, and a
moment after the bombs were thrown
he reached a portion of the trenches
just behind the Turks. The .party in
front heara the shots and charged, but
whdn they reached the treneh only
four Turks came crawling over 1 he
parapet. These Turks were shot, and,
Jacka was found in the trench with
an unlighted cigarette inelds inputh
and with a. flushed face.
"Well, I managed to get the beggars,
sir," he said. In front of him was a
trench literally blocked with Turks.

THE CANADIAN BOYS.
o Lord, regard our earnest plea.
For all the brave on land and sea
Whom freedom's cattee employs;
light divine their minds direct
And by Thy power fgrom harm protect
The brave Canadian boys.
May they be kept in health and streneth
Vntil their dauntless work at tenth
All enmity destroys;
'While they for truth and freedom fight,
Encircle with Thy matchless might,
The brave Canadian boys.
By wisdotn rrized above all price,
May they be kept from all the vice
Willett weakens and annoys;
'Keen them from lieuer's deadly snare,
Aml for victoiMus life prepare
The brave Canadian boys.
To parents and to kindred give
The power that higher life to live
Which finds in Thee its joys;
The grieved und anxious ones sustain,
Anti home tratunphant bring *elan
The brave Canadian boys.

LABOR AND DIVIDENDS.

THE JOURNALLriTS' CREED.
(BY Walter Williams, of the School of
Journalism, University' of Missouri.)
I believe in the profession of -jour-
nalism. •
I believe that the public journal is
a public trust; that all connected
with it are, to the full measure of
their responsibility, trustees for the
Public; that acceptance of lesser ser-
vice than the public service is betrayal
of this trust,
I believe that clear thtnking and
Meter statement, accuracy and fairness
are.fundamental to good journalieni.
I believe that a journalist should
write only what h.e holds in his heart
to be true.
I believe that suppression of tho
news, for any consideration other than
the welfare of toeiety, is ihdefensible.
I believe that .no ono should -write
as e journallet what he would not say
as a gentleman; that bribery by one's
own poclietbook is 08 billet to be
avoided ns bribery by the pocketbook
of another; that individual respon-
eibility may not be excapcd by plead-
ing another's instructions or anoth-
er's dividends.
I believe that aclverteting, news and
editorial columns rhould alike serve
the best interests ef the readers; that

clearness should prevail for all; that

to the wholeworld as well as to the
British Cevernment, which had the
guarding of him, "Lord Bathurst be-
lieved," says Norwood Young ia "Na-
poleon In Exile: St. Helena (1315-
1e21)," "that Napoleon spent his
time iu concocting plans for escape"
But, said the outlaw to O'Meara,
"Where could I go to, allowing that I
got out .of tee Isi.anci? Every place I
coule arrive at I simild find enemies
to seize me." This punleky dread of
Napoleon's escape front et. Helena led
to England's annexation of the unin-
habited island of Ascension, 700 miles
distant. The even more distant island
of Tristan d'Acunlia was similarly
taken eosseselon of the following year,
because it won thought to be too &In-
gerously near the Napoleonic !Mitt-

Nothing to Wear.
There are women who live to dress,
and the more frequent and radical the
chreiges are the better theylike it. If
their pocketbooks can stand it, no
great harm is done: But the great
majority of women can't afford to
keep up with this pace. The result is
that some stay at home because their
clothes are not in the latest style,
many are nittcia uultairey, and others
keep up with the prceersioa, it mat-
ters not what mey be the cost. '
If a man can wear the same dress
suit for 3 or 10 years and not look
like a freak, why is it. not poseible to
design an evening gown nor women
that will be ia good style as long as it
may be worn? It 1 3 absurd to hemaa
