A man and a maid the man carrying a burden which was hard to bear, the maid lithe of foot and heart. Down to the river's bank where the moon shone upon the placid waters which reflected not a ripple into a boat and out into the stream. Nothing to disturb the peaceful scene. A lin a hnnW and a bit of bait are the forerunners of a swift moving drama.

The obstacles have been arranged with a view to acquainting the soldiers with the con ditions they will encounter in actual warfare. Among them are brush hur dles, a shallow trench seven feet wide, wire entanglements, a fence three and a half feet high, plank bridpes over 16-foot trenches and a seven-foot wall which must be scaled within one minute after reaching it without as sistance except when the rifle is used in the drill. Then the men may aid one another. , ., v According to John R. Case, ath letic director at Camp Kearney, the obstacle course serves to take the fear out of the men and makes them tackle unusual barriers v ith more dash and resolution. The wire en tanglements and the 7-foot wall give them the most trouble, he says In Dated. 17 per cent failedletsaoinshrdlu a recent test In which 121 men partici pated, 17 per cent failed on the en tanglement obstacle while 10.7 per cent were unable to climb the wall.

Miss Agnes Moran was the guest of Tom Quinlan, genial manager of the Brandeis stores, last week at his farm, Quindale, at Elk City and it was here that she made the wonder ful catch that is being talked about by everyone in that section. To says that he never saw a bigger catfish and never saw one landed with quite so much skill as Miss Moran displayed, and Miss Moran modestly says that he "sure pulled like a team of horses."
