According to Notice.
During a sham light which constitut
ed part of a certain infantry hat
talion s training for the war a com
pany was told off to follow up the re
treating “enemy." For this purpose
the pursuers, who had been having
a strenuous time, had to cross a fairly
wide river, and were marched to the
nearest bridge, which was about foui
miles away. Imagine their disappoint
ment on arrivin' to find this notiet
attached to the bridge of the "ene
my": “This bridge is blown up." But
the officer in command of the pursuers
was a man of action, and promptly
attached a notice to one of his leading
men and proceeded to march his force
across the bridge. They had almost
crossed it, when an umpire suddenly
appeared, frantically waving his hand
and exclaiming: “The bridge is blown
up: all these men are drowned!" The :
commanding officer made no reply, but
simply pointed to his notice, which
read: “This company is swimming
across!” - j

HAD THE LAUGH ON HIMSELF
Miser Got Away With the Oatmeal
and Also Succeeded in Saving
Precious Whisky.
J h'. Ha.-tz of Detroit, the Coyen ot
the American Surgical Trade associa
tion. said at the fiftieth annual con
vention in New York:
“The war has kited the price of car
bolic acid up to $i Go a pound—it sold
before the war at S cents a ixtund. The
hospitals that use carbolic acid now
! have to be as economical and sparing
as old Josh Lee.
“Old Josh Lee was a miser, and he
, breakfasted every morning on oat
! meal To save fuel he cooked his
week's supply of oatmeal on Sundays.
This supply, by the time Saturday
came around, was pretty stiff and
tough and hard to down.
“One Saturday morning old Josh
found his oatmeal particularly unap
petizing It had a crust on it like
iron, tie took a mouthful of the cold,
stiff mixture—then he half rose, think
ing he'd have to cook himself some
eggs.
“But he hated to give in. He hated
to waste that oatmeal So he took
out the whisky bottle, poured a gen
erous glass and setting it before his
plate, he said:
“ Now. Josh, if you eat that oatmeal
you'll get this whisky; and if you
don't yon won't.'
"The oatmeal was hard to consume,
but Josh, with his eye on the whisky,
managed it. Then, when the last
spoonful was gone, he grinned broad
ly. poured the whisky back into the
bottle again, and said:
“ ‘Josh, my son. I fooled you that
time, you old idiot!"'—Washington

Cool Request.
"Would you be kind enough to re
turn my photograph?” she wrote. “I
gave it to you in a moment of girlish
folly, and 1 have sinc:> had occasion to
regret that 1 was so thoughtless in
such matters."
Of course she pictured that photo
graph framed and hung up in his
room, and was incliued to think that
he would part from it with deep re
gret .lust why she wanted it returned
is immaterial. Of course, he had of
fended her in some way, and she
wished to test his love, but it is un
necessary to inquire how.
The answer to her note came the
following day
"1 regret.” it read, "that 1 aiu un
able at this late date to pick out your
photograph. However. I send you my
entire collection, numbering a little
over 500. and would request that you
r«tani all except your own by passen

Fine Scorn.
"Lady.” said Plodding Pete, “could

"You go away from here or I'll

"Is that there stoop-shouldered

"Yes. it is."
"I take hack what 1 said. I've got
a heart in me. 1 have. If you’ve got
a meal o' victuals for a poor starvin'
man. give tt to your husband."

Good Address.
Joseph E. Widener, the millionaire
sportsman, was talking in Newport
about homes.
"Philadelphia is the city of homes,”
he said, "but if your home is north
of Market street you are considered,
socially speaking, out of it. Your
home must be south of Market street
—you must live down town—if you
would be a social personality in Phila
delphia.”
“And yet. after all,” said an English
man, “what difference does it make
where a man lives?”
"It makes all the difference in the
world," said Mr. Widener. “A fact
that is well remembered about Di
ogenes today is that he lived in a
tub.”
No Claim.
“That jitney gave you a mighty
hard bump.”
"I should say so. I have been laid
up for two weeks.”
“Good thing you carry accident in
surance.”
“Yes, but it doesn't get me anything
in this case.”
”1 should like to know why not?”
“I could see in the chauffeur's eye
that his hitting me was not going to
be an accident.”
