Lines of Laughing Infantry. Scouting parties met scouting parties. Skirmishing was announc- ed by the rattle of rifle-fire, now close at hand, now far away, A line of jackasses, with 6-pounders packed on their backs, went for- ward at a trot. Detachments of cav- alry left the shelter of groves and dashed right and left, effecting flanking movements. Then long lines of dusty, laughing infantry— white and black, regulare and mili- tlamen. Part of the invaders gained the hill on the left and poured in a drop- ping fire. The Blues were forced into the narrow gap between the hill and the swamp. The fighting became general. They were firing, not in volleys, but “at will.” The judges saw their duty and did it. The Blues, they said, were whipped, almost annihilated. They signated this company, that bat- talion, as “out of action.” There returned, then, to Gate, whole ambulance loads of laughing “wounded,” long lines of roaring “dead.” “We Went Up and Over That Hill Like Hell Afire.” “IT AIN'T WAR” “It don’t prove nothin’!” sald ex-Private Blair, “These boys are playing a game, It’s a fine, technical game, but it ain't war, The Reds ain't hot with the passion of conquest.

PRESUMING, OF COURSE, THAT YOU FIGURE TO PURCHASE YOUR ADVERTISING SPACE AS CLOSELY AS YOU PLAN TO PURCHASE A STOCK OF GOODS The Evening Paper is emphatically the Home Paper—it is read by the hus- band, by the wife and by the entire family. It is read by them at a time when they are more ready to receive impressions. A perusal of the Even- ing Paper and its advertisements is their recreation. Do you ride on a street car every morning to your work? Then notice the number of Morn- ing Papers being glanced at. The car you are riding on makes many trips each morning and there are many cars. Figure for yourself then that each car has about the same number of Morning Papers—then figure the thousands of Morning Papers that are daily carried downtown AWAY from the home and which are never seen by the wife.
