Once again the "Great Spirit"
hath summoned through death,
a brother Red Man, to take the
long trail to the "Happy Hunt
ing Grounds, to the Kingdom of
Ponemah, to a life in the land of
the Hereafter." He has been
a diligent and faithful worker
in our Tribe's labors of Freedom,
Friendship and Charity, and has
contributed freely of aid in re
lieving the necessities of the
widow and orphan. A3 a recom
pense of bis service he has re
ceived the plaudit, "well done,"
from the Great Spirit.
And whereas the all-wise and
merciful Father has called our
beloved and respected Brother
home; and he having been
a true and faithful member of
our Mystic Order, therefore be
it.
Resolved, That Cassawappa
Tribe, No. 497, Improved Order
of Red Men of McConnellsburg,
Pa., in the testimony of our loss,
tender to the family of our de
ceased Brother our sincere con
dolence in their deep affliction,
and that a copy of these resolu
tions may be sent to the family.

TOWNS OVER TIME.
A Vivid Description of a Dcurted Village
- in Prance by an American Soldier.
Tho American pcple whose
toA'i.s have not been disturbed
by an opposing army have but
faint idea what it means to live
in a war zone. An extract from
a letter written by Capt. Robert
S: Cain, Co. H. 111th Inft. is a
vivid picture of what one may,
see in France and Belgium:
D;?cribing a trip made by himself
and two other officers, Captain
Cain says: "We reached
a pretty deserted village,
that contained, possibly, six hun
dred houses not a soul of the in
habitants here now. One sees a
cat once i-n awhile that scurries
across the road at one's approach.
The population must have left
the town in a hurry. Never saw
so much goods scattered around
in my life. Linens by the thous
ands of yards and real linen, too
hand woven sheets, table cov
ers, full dress ' puits and bsU,
grandfather clocks, gold clocks,
oil paintings, silverware, etc.
Here on a bureau is the lace with
the needles still in it, which the
industrious honsewife was mik
ing; here, in a little crib is a
large doll all tucked in by some
little daughter, and here a Singer
sewing machine with the cloth
still under the needle. Of
course, most of the housei had
bpen ransack d; for on the fhors
were just piles of clothing, china,
pictures, and other gatherings of
a home. O A manuscripts datirg
back to the lGch and 17th cen
turies. The gardens are beauti
ful and at the same time pitiful.
Here in tho d;:ep recesses of the
kitchen windows are Ihwers in
pots struggling to keep alive, and
of course, slowly dying for want
of watn and care. Rses every
where, untended for two
months now, but still blooming.
In the garden are strawberries,
onions and potatoes. A few are
left. The American and French
soldiers must eat, and, of course,
I realize the fate of the chickens,
geese, pigs, and cattle that the
residents of the town were com
pelled to leave behind them."
"Well, here it is July. 2lst.
First lime I have had a chance to
write since the 12ih. I simply
cannot write. Have been through
Hell siuce that time-really can
not collect my thoughts to write.
I am still living and feeling well
despite all things. Have looked
death in the face a hurdertd times
lately. I have got used to his
presence. I know I can go with
out anj thing to eat now for three
days-no water-a regular camel
and the funny part of it is, that
one dues not seem to mind it so
much-other things on your mind.
I am living now with just what I
have on, and carry on my back.
Kaiser's Begiuning to ".lu'.Icr."
The end of the great war
soems to be in sight, but it is not
over. List Saturday, Germany
informed the U.iited States that
it was willing to quit that it
was willing to yield to the allies
all the territory it had taken,
and make teims of peace of
course, a German peace. Presi
dent Wilson informed them on
Tuesday that if they really meant
business they thculd not only
evacuate all the territory belong
ing to tho allies but that they
should make arrangements to set
tle the damages; and to show
good faith, they bhould surrender
all their important fortification0,
disband their army, and turn
over all their ammunition plants.
Mr. Wilson proposes to let
England, France and Italy, who
have been the greatest sufferers
in this wer, have much to say as
to the condition of peace, and ti e
American people will not con
sent to anything short of crush
ing the Hohenzollern . dynasty,
and making the nation pay the
last farthing for their folly.
Tliej Responded.
An appeal was made to the
schools of Ayr township to do
what they could to help along
with the Red Cross work. .
They responded very willingly
by contributing as following.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT PAIN
Scientist Explain Insensibility of Hu
man Organism to an Uncommon
Sort ef Injury.
That a high-speed bullet niny
pierce a man and cuiihc him fo lit
tle pain that he in uncoiiHcioiiB of lim
wound lia.s Ion;,' hecn known. A
dower bullet would eaiinc consider
iiMe puiii and shock. Dr. George W.
Crile finds an explanation of this
and similar phenomena in his re
searches in the evolution of actions
uml respoiiHeH. The evolution of'or
gaim has hecn pretty thoroughly
worked out, but the evolution of
functions of organs is a new thing.
During the long course of develop
ment of man nnd hfs ancestors swift
piercing and lacralion such ns in
llicled by a high-speed bullet were
not encountered, and hence no pain
reaction against them would evolve,
while slow lacerations were most
common, and the usefulness of be
ing conscious of them in the keen
way of pain is most evident.
Such is the insensibility of tho
human organism to an uncommon
sort of injury that, according to Doe
tor ('rile, 'a device of exquisitely
slmrp knives driven at superlative
high speed might cut the body to
pieces without causing any pain
whatever."
IN A HURRY
''When poverty comes in the door,
love (lies out the window."
"In old Id illionb uck's case, lovo
flew out the window just an soon as
his wife found there was a chance to
get alimony."
A CATASTROPHE.
'Twos the deciding gamo in tho
race for the pennant. Never in the
history of baseball had the run for
the Hag been ho close. Never had
enthusiasm reached such heights;
never had the excitement been so
wild nor the rivalry so keen. Only
n few points separated the leaders
from the eellarites. The home team
was up for its hist time ut hat and
Jerry OTIanmignn already had two
strikes and three balls against him
with two men down, lie cast one look
at the cheering fans, who settled into
an expectant tensity as Jerry spat on
his hands. His face was drawn with
a mighty determination. The oppos
ing pitcher wound up nnd suddenly
the ball leaped like a shot toward the
date. The batter but just then the
ball park policeman pulled Jimmy
away from the knot hole in the fence.
