(By Mail) —“Jim’ we big black patient in the Rea Cross he lat St. Denis. He was 1 y sick nigger,” as he said, his illness being a combination of ma- chine-gun wound in the leg and shell shock. He couldn’t even turn over on his cot, much less walk But that was before he heard Eu rope’s orchestra. Europe and his fa mous musicians were in Paris on their ay from one assignment to another, for they are more in demand at camps in France than ever they were in New York cabarets. The American Rea Cross got permission for them to play at its St. Denis hospital And you should have heard the boys cheer when syncopated strains from ku- rope’s instruments swelled throug, the wards! As for Jim he not only could move; he could hop, and hop he did, from his cot to a station so close to the big bass drum that the dusky drummer had to cut out some of his customary gyrations. After it was all over the Red Cross hospital representative from Chatta- nooga, Tenn.. who had arranged the concert, saw Jim sitting on the edge of his cot, an ebony picture on con tent and comfort. “Jim, you rascal,” she thought you were so sick.” replied Jim, “I certainly was a sick man, and my leg troubled me mighty much, but nothing ain’t bothered me since I heard that bend, no ma’m.” WILD ANIMAL ROUNDUP PLANNED AT SHERIDAN SHERIDAN, Wyo., big drive will be m ry wild animals Ives, Sunda Dec. 14.—A je on such pre coyotes and ; December 22, under as auspices 0 he Sheridan Gu. cl The are mbraced in the roundup embrace § square miles lying between g and Little Googe creeks on one side and Beaver creen or other, only a few miles from this city.
