“HE SLEEPS IN FLANDERS”
“He sleeps In Flanders." Well he sleeps.
For Flander’s sleep is deep indeed;
About his bed the trench-rat creeps;
In some far home a woman weeps;
. And the lone moon its vigil keeps
I Above his sleep in Flanders.
No note shall break the silent sleep
That found him when the day was done;
No note is blown so loud and deep
That it can pierce the gates of sleep—
The earthen gates full damp and deep—
That guard his sleep in Flanders.
He eaw not where hia path should lead.
Nor sought a path to suit his will;
He saw a nation in her need;
He heard the cause of Honor plead;
He heard the catl, he gave it heed.
And now he sleeps in Flanders.
Yet let this ray of light remain.
Though darkness cut him from our view;
We know the sacrifice, the pain—
We cannot feel our faith is vain—
We know the loss, but not the gain
Of those who sleep in Flanders.

NO WORD FROM THE
13 MISSING NATIVES
Mr. James Frawley receievd a let
ter yesterday, from 5Yed Henton
of Teller. Fred stated that on the
17th, the ice-floe, wheh had broken
adrift from the main pack, and went
out to sea, some few weeks ago,
carrying 13 natives with it, had
returned. Not a single native re
turned with it and that neither
hide nor hair of any of them had
been seen since. Rut tho supposition
is that they have more than likely
landed on St. Lawrence Island. It
is hardly expected that anything
will be heard from there until
some time next summer.

the common grades we have exerted
our utmost to be able to offer
something better, not necessarly
cheaper. Our effort was product
