GRINS AND KEEPS AT IT Solve* Conundrum* With One Hand While He Shovels Out Smoke* and Writing Paper With the Other— Mostly He Knocks Out Three-Bag gers and Homers, but Once in a While He Fans. (From the Star* and Btrlpes.) Have you ever hung over a desk In a Y. M. C. A. hut long enough to get a slant on the questions the gang hurls over the mound to the secretary be hind there? They are like the Question Box col umns of 50 Klwush newspapers rolled Into one. and the way the old boy with the red triangle on his sleeve huts at 'em and knocks out three-baggers and homers with ’em Is sure a caution. Of course, sometimes he fans, but then what would any fellow do after he's been handing out all day long P. A. at 73 centimes per each, swapping 3-cent American postage stamps for soap wrupper French money, shooting a lot of hull to a crowd of rufnex to write home to mother, or cashing post : office money orders for $9.03 or $7.85 i when the rate of exchange Is 5.71, and then some doughboy asks him how to write a letter to his brother In Memtey nigger. Grin* and Goe* on. Wouldn’t that make any ordinary cuss rear up on his hond legs and blow | off steam? But the "Y” fellow Just ; grins and goes to It. I can’t help think- I in' sometimes that fellows Just ask a “Y" man a lot of fool questions to see If they can get his ungoru. For In stance, here's some I heard with me own eyes yesterduy ufternoon In 15 minutes while I was waiting for a “Y” man to look up and see If Bloody Mary killed Queen Elizabeth or If Bes sie done the trick to Bloody Mary. “How do you spell ‘provincialism?’” Imagine u K. P. pulling that, will you? “How much postage does It take to send a hanky with ‘Soovenir de France' broldered on It?" Then some cropliead what looks like he’s doing P. G. work at Sing-Sing asks: “Where In hell is A. P. O. 9500?” 1 Then a big fat slob of an Arbuckle from (he 1*111 Klingers comes In with a caddoky over his sergeant's qjpevrons i and springs this one: “What’s the French word for kiss?” Then n lollypolly second loot blows ln. "What was the date the Loosi tunlu sunk?” asks the loot. Then comes in a couple of colored boys from below the Wright and Dlt son line and they buys some plug and j sweet chocolate, and one of ’em leans over the counter like he was feeling j for the rail with his right foot and | wanted at the same time to whisper to j Harry In the white coat that he was I awful thirsty hut lie didn’t have the I centimes to raise a gusher, and he j says low-llbe to the sec.: How I* Thi* One? j “Say, boss, me and buddy wants to j know If you all was ever serving ball j j In the caffy of the Jeffson hotel In ] ] Richmond?” Fancy springing that on a “Y” guy! Then along comes n fellow what j used to be a cavalryman on the bor I der. He was one of them hurd-holled j ones what spit rust. “Say," he says, looking as prominent ; as the white citizens’ committee, “who I was the guy In the Bible whnt had a I | thousand Janes all to hlsself, and wus there a Jew named Joseph who was | S. O. L. 'cause he had u fnncy overseus | hat und his pals couldn't get none at the Q. M.?” Wonder what struck him? Must have I got religion all to oneet. Then a plnlc-faced mommer’s boy strolled In to get some writing paper to write a love letter tq his Lizzie and I got so darn disgusted that they let a thing like that wash hts mess kit In a U. S. pan that I just thanks the "Y” man and turns around and goes to work and spits on the floor and beats It. Gee! them Y. M. C. A. fellers sure ought to have the Crolks de Gurr, all right. “NO CAT, NO DEVIL DOG” _ Man Refuse* to Enl'st Unless He Can Take Tabby. Because* Sergt. S. Peurlln of the Providence (It. I.)

McDonough, a husky lad | from Fall River, refused to enlist In i the marine corps, und has returned to j Fall River, black cat and all. When McDonough walked Into the recruiting station he wus hugging the* big animal under Ills nrin. “Why the* rat-kllleT?” nske*el Peurlln. “You sale] It," answered McDonough. “I have re*ael about the ruts In the* trenches and I’m more afraid of rats than anything In the* world, I’ve* taught Tommie here* to watch over me* while I sleep and keep the nets off. [ I'm going to tuke him to camp with me. ” “Nothing doing," said Peurlln. “No e*at, no elevll dog," answered McDonough ns he walked out of the recruiting station. LODGE DIRECTORY • F. & A.
