Clifford Sward, former Alliance
railroader, writes a cry lnterpstl:iK
letter" from France to his frlonl Mr.
Frank Rowc of hls city. In which bf
tells of Interesting: sights which he
bat seen. The inter follows:
TerlRueux, France, Jan. 6, 1919.
Mr. Frank Rowe, Alliance, Nobr.
Dear Friend and Brother: Well,
Prank, It haa been some time since
I bare written to you or any of the
banch. Not that I hare forgotten
ny of you, aa I think of all of you
trrrj day, and I often wonder, how
CkU winter has been on the boM
there. I suppose It has been pretty
erce as I see In the papers that it
baa been cold. This la quite a rainy
AunfrY. It rains, and then when It
stalanes, It rains some more. It does1
ot get very cold, though, and the
people all hare gardens planted and
the fields are green. They hare the
rainy wither Instead of snow.
This town of Terlgueux (pro
turunred Perigue) la a rery old and
blstorlc place. I was through a mu
meam that Is the most interesting I
bare erer seen. Then I waa In an
Id tower the Romans built before
Christ, to defend thla city against
the Hun tribes. Also I waa in an
Id cathedral that was started Id' the
11th century and waa not finished
ntll the 14th century. It sure is a
grand sight. A French family 1 be
came acquainted with took me
through a coliseum like at Rome,
where they used to make prisoners
fight wild beasts. There are a great
many buildings and towers here that
are over a thousand years old. On
account of the city being soold, the
town Is quite dark at night, and the
streets are very narrow, like our al
leys at home.
Most of the people are very friend
ly to the Yanks. I have met several
nice families, and been invited to
suppers and dances where we had
fine times. I can't get this French
lingo down, so I make signs. Some
of the families can speakgood Eng
lish. Well, how are Shorty and C. !. II.,,
also O. D. A., Ed Healy, Roy Hacket
and the restT Tell Doc that I am
coming home to pull jlns on the
west lead some day. Tell all the
bothers In the B of R. T. "good
luck," also all of the yard bunch.

A professor of history met one of
his clans who had returned from

asked him If he had learned any

An old lady, exceedingly hard of

The hostess, who was at least for-ty-flve,
was a clinging, temperamen
tal piece of femininity who tried to
pass herself off as thirty and appar

the youthful illusion. At dinner oho

The propletor and editor of a cer
tain local paper had been indulging ,
in a little plain talk and prophesying
disaster to the little town if certain I
improvements and sanitary reforms
were not forthwith adopted. A lo
cal parson sided with the rural coun
cil which neglected these things and,
after a sermon evidently pointed at
the newspaper man, said: . "You
should remember the fate of Bal
aam." "I do," was the prompt re
ply from the pew. "and I also re
member who it was that warned the
prophet." ;

It was a tumbledown hole of an
inn, but the two commercial travel
ers had no choice. They were
stranded by a snowdrift, and must
lodge there or nowhere. Full . of
misgivings, they retired to the only
bedroom available, and after bewail
ing their hard luck so near Christ
mas, climbed into the bed. Pres
ently a curious odor permeated the
atmosphere In other words, they
smelt a smell. Vigorous search led
one of them to the gas-bracket.. "I
say, Mac." he shouted, shaking his
slumbering friend, "wake up! The
gas is escaping." : "Well." growled
the other drowsily, "d'ye blame it?"

Pat and Mike were working on a
new building. Pat was laying bricks.
and Mike was carrying the hod.
Mike had Just come up to the fourth,
floor when the dinner whistle blew.
His lunch was on the ground. "I
hate to walk down after it." ha said.
"Take hold of this rope," said Pat,
"ana' 1 11 let you down." Pat led
him down halfway and then let ko
of the rope. Mike landed in the
mortar bed not much hurt, but ter
ribly angry. "And why did ye let
go of the rone?" ha demanded "I
thought it was going to break," said

A minister and Lord Elphlnstone
were at loggerheads, and the former
did not hesitate to try to take his
lordship down a peg, even in church.
The minister called out to the beadle
one Sunday to "wauken Lord Elphln
stone." "I'm no sleeping, minister,"
said the peer. "Indeed, you were,
my lord." His lordship still deny
ing it, the minister said: "What did
I say last, then?" "Oh, Just 'wauk
en Lord Elphinstone.' "s "Aye, .but
what before that?" "Indeed, I'll gla
ye a guinea, minister, It ye'll tell that
yersol." rapped out his lordship, for
the minister was notoriously ram
bling and disjointed.

"The sorest man I have ever
seen," said an American aviator,'
"was Lieutenant Meinwopf,-the star
boche flyer, when he was nipped by
Lieutenant Avery. Melnkopf was
Baron Hlchtofen's successor and the
best flyer that Germany had left.
When Avery tackled him - he aban
doned all set principles of air strat
egy, simply sailed in and opened
fire without indulging in preliminary
maneuvers. He brought his man
down In about three seconds and this
was bis first boche battle. When
Melnkopf landed he was purple with
rage, and jji far as I could make out
his complaint could be translated in
this fashion: 'What the hell kind of
flying is this, anyhow?' "

HOW TO SAVE ON SHOES
"Out of curicsity I tried pas? of
Neolin Soles," writes W. P. Macartney
of St. Louis, "and today, after live
months of hard service I fail to notice
any real signs of wear on them."
This statement points the way to
real economy in shoes. What your
shoes cost, by the year, depends larccly
on how the soles w ear and Neolin Soles
do wear a very long time. Moreover,
they are exceedingly comfortable and
waterproof scientifically made to be
exactly what soles should be and so
worn now by millions.
They are available everywhere on
new shoes and for rc-s lintj. They are
made by The Gopdycir Tire & Rub
ber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to
outwear any other heels.
