Ha sang a aong In the ti-ench that night With the weary huddled around; And their eyea were bright aa the etars of France Or the flame of the battle ground; But he aang no aong of a aoldier’a fame • By land or the'whlte-lashed foam, For the aong he aang In the trench that night Waa the aong of a girl back home. He sang a aong in the ahell-awept trench. And the eyea of the weary glowed With the old, old light of another day. Before llate yet bud held the road; And their hearts at last knew a great er thrill Than a mad charge through the gloam. For the song he aang In the reeking trench Was the song of a girl back home. And each red bomb, as It flared above In a crimson glow on high. Was a summer moon from the old-time way Set deep In a peaceful sky: And each big gun, with Us endless roar, Was a plow for the fragrant loam, And all because he sang that night The song of a girl back home. —New York Tribune.

Once upon a time Walter looked out of the nursery window and saw a snowbird hopping about outside on the ground. "Oh, look, mother, that is the first snow bird I have seen,” he exclaimed. His mother came to the window to see and she said: "You must wish and it will surely come true. If you wish when you Bee theJlrst snowbird.” "I wish the snowbird would fly Into our window,” cried Walter. “Well, if you spread crumbs on the window sill he may come close to the window said his mother. So every day after his break fast. Waiter would bring some crumbs of cake and bread and lay It on the window sill. Then he would hide behind the curtains and watch for the snowbird, but although he watched a long time, the bird never came while he was there. Walter was sure it did. 1 for the crumbs were always gone when he went to look for them. One day it was very warm and his mother had left the window open. Walter had put his crumbs out to them, when one of his friends called to see him, without waiting to see if the snowbird came for his breakfast. When he came back his mother had closed the window and gone down stairs and Walter went to get his top that lay on the desk. Just as he put out his hand for the top something fluttered and flew up and against the closed window. What do you think it was? The snowbird, and 'Walter’s wish had come true. Walter wanted to keep the bird in a cage, but his mother told him that it would not be happy alone and she was sure it want ed to build a nest for some little birds all of its own and she thought perhaps they ctftild leave soti>e soft bits of wool and 'feath ers near and that the bird would with their help, have such a nice nest. ♦ Walter opened the window and out flew the snowbird. Just as it flew over the sill it began to sine "peep,” “peep.” and Walter said he knew it was thanking them for not keeping it shut up in a cage. The next morning, when they put the crumbs on the sill, they also put three soft, white feath ers and soon Walter saw the snowbird starting to build a nest in a tree near his window.
