It is by Sir Frederic Cowen and Harold Begie and makes a strong appeal for enlistment in the army. One of the verses of the song, which is entitled “Fall In,” follows: How will you fare, sonny, how will you fare, In the far-off winter night. When you sit by the fire in an old man's chair. And your neighbors talk of the fight? Will you slink away, as it were from a blow. Tour old head shamed and bent? Or say, "I was not with the first to go, But I went, thank God, I went!”? Prussia requires that lightning rods on government buildings shall be in i spected by an expert electrician at | least once a year. SOLDIER’S STORY OF BRITISH BAYONET CHARGE London.—This grimly humorous story of a British bayonet charge, in which the Germans were stabbed in the back, was related by a wounded soldier just back from northern France: “They can stand fire, can those Ger mans. We were picking them off like winking, and still they came on. “It seemed as if there was an un limited number of those soldiers, for they came, wave after wave. "Then, when they got within shout ing distance, we received the word to charge. Our officer was a Sprinter, but we were out of the trench and heeh ing after him, all of us shouting. "The Germans seemed struck. They just stood and gaped as we came chas ing down, their mouths wide open, as if they were wondering what the blazes we were up to. "When we were within twenty or thirty yards c>f them there was an al teration. They knew then what we wanted, and they Just threw down their rifles, turned about and set the pace. Some of them, as the.y went, chucked off their packs, and a few even tried to pull off their tunics! ‘‘But we had ’em! I never knew I could run before, nor did the other chaps, and we pinked the blighters in the back by the score. “When we got winded we came back the same way, and had a look at the dead and wounded. They were lying , on their faces, bayoneted in the back.” ONE UNI SPORT PUTS FOOTBALL IS MONEY MAKER FOR j ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT. ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Coed Showing Made by Cornhuskers at the University of Nebraska Last Year. ♦ Lincoln. — Football is the only branch of inter-collegiate sport at the University of Nebraska that pays its own way. All other sports are money-losers and could not be main tained by the athletic department of the Cornhusker institution were it not for the profits gleaned frem the gums of the gridiron. These are the j salient facts which stand out in the i annual financial report just filed by ! Treasurer T. A. Williams of the uni- j versity athletic board, following an audit by Prof. H. \V. Caldwell, chair- j man of the finance committee. The treasurer’s report is for the year ending September 1, 1914. It shows, in spite of the losses sustained in all sports excepting football, that Cornhusker athletics have flourished and that the treasurer had a balance on hand at the end of the year amounting to $2,094.68. The total re ceipts from all sources were $31,960. 93 and the total expenditures were $29,289. Football receipts totalled $29, 866.25, the net profit from that branch of sport being $8,355.97.

The secretary of state has sent out notices again to all delinquent cor porations. Despite the failure of a large number to pay. the corporation tax law passed by the 1913 legislature has brought in nearly J100.000 to the state. New Motor Car Schedule.

TOOK BISHOP" AT HIS WORD Footman May Have Been Consider ably Astonished But He Was There to Obey Orders. Bishop Brindle, the well-known En glish clergyman, sometimes tells this story against himself. Dining at Sir Evelyn Wood’s he narrated the old story of the small boy who, going to a party, was instructed to refuse cake, as he had not been very well. “But suppose they ask me again, mummy?” he said. “Oh, you must still say, ‘No, thank you.’ ’’ “And if they ask me again!” “Oh, they wouldn’t be so rude as to do that. Now, it is time you were otf.” The small boy re turned home in tears. Asked what had happened, he replied: “Well, mummy, they asked me to have cake, and I said, ‘No thank you'; and they asked me again, and I said, ‘No, thank you’; and then they asked me again, and I said just like daddy says, ‘Take the dam thing away—’ ” At that moment a passing footman caught the bishop’s last words, and with a start swooped down on his half-finished plate, and bore it away. ECZEMA ON CHILD’S BODY 570 High St.. Oshkosh, Wis.—“When about two months old my nephew had sores break out on different parts of his body. The trouble first began as a rash which itched so at night some one always held his hands, even while sleeping, as at the least scratching it would run together and form scabs. His night-clothes had to have mittene on them or the. scabs would be raw and bleeding by morning. His cloth ing or the least friction irritated the trouble. His face and scalp were cov ered. They called it eczema. “We tried different treatments but none cured him. At three years old we commenced the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. It took nearly a year to effect a complete cure and he never had anything like it since.” (Signed) Mrs. F. Scofield, Mar. 21, 1914. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.
