was followed Instantly by smiles and
every evidence of enthusiasm as tho whole
congregation fell Into step, and many loft
the edifice singing tho song.
An exciting story of the war li printed
lodny bv the Petit Parlslcn. It concerns
the adventures of niclmrd Mncgraly, a

was captured by tho Germans near
Noyon.

fnr beneath tho surface. When ho bobbed
to the surface again tho German soldiers,
who were sunning along tho banks of the
river, opened another fuslllado with rides
and magazlno pistols.
Macgralv again dived and swam as long
ns ho could under wnter. Again ho had
to face the vollejs When he rose to the
surface, the bullets spattering the water
After being In the water flvo hours and
Bwlmmlng many miles, Macgralcy finally
found tho French lines nnd Joined lila

caused bv striking obstructions In diving,
tho venturesome Scotchman was un

A British soldier writes this to rela

A visitor to tho American Hospital at

"Splendid fellows the Turcos arc, most
of them, with their white teeth nnd fiery,
feverish Eastern eyes They smoke In

Turcos delight. 'They lovo pictures,'
said tho nurse, 'and will llo looking at
them for hours at a lime.'
"One of them, a magnificent fellow,
with tho torso of Hercules, Is the loy of

c'ome orf. He was not so cheerful when
ho came In, for It had been found neces
sary to remove one of his front teeth,
which had been split In a ilcrco hand-to-hand
encounter. Our Turco mourned the
loss till ho was assured that he would
bo given n gold one a nice, yellow, shin
ing gold one In Its place. Since then ho
has not ceased to smile."
An English Hussar, wounded at Com
plegne, showed a correspondent tho bullet
that hnd shattered his thigh an ugly
missile, with all tho appearance of an ex
plosive bullet. Tho point wns bored, and
tho lead behind had spread out and flat

He had only contempt for tho Uhlans.

The royal significance
of the Pianola
Years ago the ability to play the harp was used as
a method of distinguishing the freed-man from the slave.
A harp was a possession which a slave could not afford,
and the ability to play it was an art that none but nobility
. had time and opportunity to acquire. All royalty played
the harp.
