No - 5 - THE SWORD
BY LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON
Flip pathetic story hero related of one phase of the battlefield after the
a>i tol ' l lj - v tl " , poetess Letitin Klizabeth Landon, was
I Iw',' T '' ol ! , ".''- v tha " '* is to-day. It deserves a perpetuity of
eent'ini Mit ° Se W adn,ire beautiful poesy gleaming with tender and exalted
'Twas the battlefield, and the cold pale moot*
LooU'd down on the dead and dyin>{;
And the wind pass'd o'er with a dirge and a wail,
Where the voting and the brave were lying.
With his father's sword in his rod, right hand,
And the hostile dead around him,
I.a\ a \onthtu 1 chief; but his bed was the ground,
And the grave s icy sleep had bouud him,
A reckless rover, 'mid death and doom,
l'ays'd soldier, his plunder seeking;
Careless he stepp'd where friend and foe
Lay alike in their life-blood reeking.
Drawn by the shine of the warrior's sword.
The soldier paused beside it;
lie wrench d the hand with a giant's strength,
But the grasp of the dead defied it.
He loosed his hold, and his noble heart
Took part with the dond before him;
And he honor'd the brave who died sword in hand,
As with soften'd brow he lean'd o'er him.
"A soldier's death thou hast boldly died,
A soldier's grave won by it;
Before I would take that sword from thine hand,
My own life's blood should dye it.
"Thou glialt. not be left for the carrion crow,
Or the wolf to batten o'er thee;
Or the coward insult the gallant dead,
ho in life had trembled before thee."
'J iien dug he a grave in the crimson earth
Whpre his warrior foe was sleeping;
And he laid him there, in honor and rest,
With his sword in his own brave keeping.

DOWNWARD TREND SHOWN
j SOON AFTER THE OPENINC
Another Meteoric Movement in Wheat
Has Effect of Further Checking
Operations In Stock Market—U. S.
Steel Movement Uncertain
By Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 3.—(Wall/Street).
|—A downward trend was shown by to
day's stock market soon after the open
j iug, Heading and Canadian Pacific los
j ing a jwint each with some heaviness
| in other prominent issues. U. S. Stool
; movement was uncertain, opening with
a slight loss, from which it recovered,
only to fall back again. The met A'
/ shares hold steady and petroleum stocks
. were a trilje higher in connection with
I reports of another advance in the price
*j of crude oil. Trading was unusually
) light, with a further absence of outside
inquiry. London's range of prices for
Americans was lower, Heading yielding
a point.
Another meteoric, movement in wheat
had the effect of further checking
operations in the stock market, trading
in the early session aggregating less
than half of the recent output. The
demand for stocks continued irregular
and narrow, with more selling of the
sipeculative leaders at overv favorable
opportunity. Canadian Pacific and Read
" ing continued to bear the brunt of
s those offerings, which were assumed to
f come in part from abroad. Fertilizer is
1 sues developed sudden strength. The
situation at Washington, in its relation
to the shipping bill, came in for some
consideration. Bonds were firm, with
a large over subscription of the Penn
sylvania railroad issue.

THE "WHY" OF A "HOT BOX"
In answer to the question "What is
I; a hot box?" a Kansas City Southern of
ficial has the following to say:
"A hot box is a sign that the safety
first rule is not practiced by some car
department man.
"There is no excuse for a hot box
j after the oar is sent out if the train is
! carefully looked over by the car men
at each terminal. Primarily a hot box
is caused by poor waste and an in
sufficient 'greasing' at the time it i
should have been done, and there is j
no excuse for one. A hot box is lia
ible to cause a wreck, qnd wreck on
most railroads costs money, much
more than the price of a sufficient
quantity of waste and oil and grease }
to protect the journals of the ear
wheels.
"The farmer boy who buys a new
| wagon or a buggy has a pretty good
; 'dea of what a hot (box means and the
j ways to prevent it. When ho buys a
new wagon he sees to it that the spin
dle is well greased so it will not get
! hot. He watches it closely and does
| not take any chances on the wheels
I running hot. The farmer's wheels on
'his new wagon or buggy would stick,
, and if he persisted in driving ahead
| and if he persisted in driving ahead
! I' e would soon have a bad spindle and
| a bad wheel.
j "However, the results would not be
so disasterous as they would be in a
I train of cars running at a speed of
: fifteen or twenty miles an hour. It's '
no wonder the trainmen use laniguage 1
unfit for a. Sunday school class when
they find a hot box in their train. '
They know that someone has been <
careless and shirking in his work and 1 <
that he is to blame."—New York

A Prehistoric Lake
One of the most interesting remnants I
of a prehistoric lake in the United <
| States is that no»w known as Estancia '
valley, which lies south of Santa Fe f
and cast of Albuquerque, N. M. From t
examination of the deposits in this sec- 1
tion geologist® are of the opinion that
this fake existed at the same time as t
liake Bonneville, in Utah, and other <
ancient lakes of the arid' west during s
the cold, humid glacial period. Tho [
theory of the existence of an ancient, >
lake in the valley is baaed on the pres a
ence of shore features and lako sedi
ments. Sea cliffs, terraces, beaches, t
beach ridges, spits and bars are found r
on all sides of the lake flat at altitudes 1
between 6,100 and 6,200 feet above I
soa level. —Argonaut. t
