Aged Farmer Suicides. Pembroke, Ont, June %2.---The village of Chichester, on the Quebec side, was stirred by a sad tragedy, which occurred there on Sunday, by which Peter Smith, a wealthy farm- er 'of that locality, shot himself. Smith, Who was about seventy years of age, had for some time past been mentally affected and was to have been taken to some imstitution to- day. It appears that he arranged a gun against a tree, after having cleared away all the branches, used a stick about two feet long with a fork on the end to discharge the weapon. The contents of the gun struck him in the stomach, death being Tastan- taneous. . His wife died last fall and it is thought that the strain preyed heavily on his mind. He leaves two danghters and one som, also three grandchildren, who were residing with him. Accidentally Shot Dead. Corfiwall, June 12.--Arthur Nor- man Hodgens, the thirteen-year-old son of Jesse Hogdens, was aceident- ally shot by a Steers. They went into a field, tak- ing a shotgun with them to frighten crows. Steers discharged the gun in some manner, the shot entering Hogdeén's chest and killing hin in- stantly. Dr. Hamilton, on learning the circumstances, deemed an in- quest unnecessary.

Colonel Beattie (Presby- terian). who has done good service at the front, will come back as assistant director of chaplain services, Major Horsey wil he senior chap- lain at Ottawa, and 1 will remain in my old post as garrison chaplain for Kingston, including R.M.C., R.C.H.

THE ROAD TO BLIGHTY./ ® The Impressions of a Wounded Canadiai Officer, There dre two faces -- one nurse and one of a doctor -- that! Coningsby Dawson; lieutenant, (ana- dian Field Artillery, will always re- member. He saw them during the days he spent in a hospital in France. "I arrived about mine ¢: a sum- mer"s evening at the Casualty Clear- ing Station. In something less than an hour I was undressed and on the operating table. You might suppose that when for three interminable years such a stream of tragedy has flowed through a hospital, it would be easy for surgeons and nurses to treat mutilation and death perfunc- torily. They don't They show no emotion. They are even cheerful: but their strained faces tell the story and their hands have an immense compassion, : "Two faces especially loom out. I can always see them by lamplight, when the rest of the ward is husfed and shrouded, stooping over some si- lent bed. One face is that eof the colonel of the Hospital, gray, con- cerned, pitiful, stern, His eyes seem to have photographed all the suffer- | ing, which, in three years, they have | witnessed. He's a tall man, but he | moves softly, Over his uniform he wears a long white operating smock | --he never seems to remove it. And i he never seems to sleep, for he comes | wandering through his Gethsemane | all hours of the night to bend over | the more, serious cases. He seems haunted by a vision of the wives, mothers, sweethearts, whose happi- ness is in bis hands. I think of him | as a Christ in khaki, | "The other face is of a girl -- a sister I ought to call her, She's the nearest approach to a sculptured Greek goddess I've seen in a living room, She's very tall, very pale and golden, with wide brows and big gray eyes like Trilby. I wonder what she did before she went to war--for she's gone to war just as truly as any sol- dier. I'm sure in the peaceful years | she must have spent a lot of time | in being loved. Perhaps her man was killed out here, Now she's ivory- white with over-service and. spends all her days in loving. Hereyes have the old frank, innocent look, but they're ringed with being weary. | Only her lips hold a touch of colo they have a childish trick of trem- | bling when anyone's wound is hurt- ing too much. She's the first touch | of home that the streicher-cases see when they've said good-bye to the trenches. She moves down the ward; eyes follow her. When she is absent, though others take her place, she leaves a loneliness, If she meant much to men in days gone by to-day | she means more than ever: Over many, dying boys she stoops as the incarnation of the woman whom, had they lived, they would have loved. To | all of 'us, with the blasphemy of de- troying still upon ug, she stands for the divinity of womanhood. "What sights she sees and what words she hears: yet the pity she brings to ber work preserves her sweetness, In the silence of the! night those who are delirious re-fight ! their recemt bittles, You're half. asleep when in the darkened ward some one jumps up in bed shouting, 'Hold your bloody hands up." He! thinks. he's capturipg a Hun trench, | taking prisoners in a bombed-in dug out. In an instant, like a mother | with a frightened child, she's bend- ing over him; soon she has coaxed his head back on the pillow. Med do not die in vain when they evoke such women." ----------------------k Protect the Birds, i Approval has heen given by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives to the en- abling Act providing for carrying in- to effect the treaty between the Unit- ed States and Canada for the protec- tion of migratory birds. Enactment of the pending legislation will ensure protection to non-game birds on both sides of the border and also will pro- mote co-operation between the states in bird protection. The National As- soclation of Audubon Societies is urs- ing prompt passage of this enabling act by the House--it having passed the Senate last July -- contending that it may properly be regarded as a war measure. If this war is to be won by the food crops of America the birds will prove an important factor; they destroy insects, weed seeds and rodent pests, and are in consequence conservators of crops. War or no war, the bill is one that should be enacted into law, Tae fact that birds can and do contribute to crop conservation should ensure favorable action by Congress without further delay.--N. Y.
