LOOKING AT IT PRACTICALLY
Mally There Is Something Worth
White In the Assertion Made
by Little Johnny.
J?he physician wns telling little John
ny's mother about a railroad accident
In which a teamster, had both legs
crushed from the effects of which he
died tho same day. Little 'Johnny,
about six years old, stood by, greatly
Interested In the accident.
"Thny, doctor," he broke in with
his eyes wide open, "wutu the north
hurt?"
"I don't know," said the doctor. "I
was more Interested in tho man, and
didn't think of tho horse."
"Well, I don't care," Johnny said,
taking the doctor's reply as an Im
plied rebuke, "but a live north 1th
better'n a dead man, anyway."
Completed.
Teacher Wo borrowed our numer
als from the Arabs, our calendar from
the Romans, and our banking from the
Italians. Can nnyono tlilnft of any
other examples?
Willie Willis Our lawnmower from
the Smiths, our snow shovel from the
Jones' and our baby carriage from the
Rumps. Judge.
There's n pleasure In being cranky
that only a crank can know.
HE HAD SOMETHING COMING
Flve-Year-Old Got Drawing He Want
ed, but Retribution Was Stalking
Behind Him.
It. S. Grnble, n St Louis newspaper
man, celebrated his fiftieth birthday In
n unique way. He gavo a birthday
party and Invited 75 children.
Cobb Shlnn was In St Louis at tho
time, and was asked to help entertain
the youngsters by drawing pictures on
the largo paper hats which were given
to each child. He would draw "what
ever the children asked for, and the
subjects wcro many and various.
Finally a five-year-old handed up bis
hat and said:
"I want n pig."
Tho drawing was started, when a
brother about a year older, spoke up :
"Awl he don't want a picture of a
pig" und tho argument was on.
When the drawing was finished, tho
flve-yenr-old stuck out his chest and
bonstcd :
"Sec, I got what I wanted I"
"Yes, but Just wait until I get you
home and see If I don't ruin you," re
plied tho brother.
When It comes to getting his dues,
his sntanlc majesty never gets left.
Tailors make wedding suits, but
lawyers make tho divorce suits.
You wouldn't put on hobbles
to run a foot race
Then why load up on handicaps for
the day's work?
A good deal of food, unwisely chosen,
does weigh the body down and clog the
digestion, and dull the brain.
Why put on the hobbles?
Grape-Nuts is a breakfast or lunch
time dish for those who want food effi
ciency, and mind and body efficiency.
Grape-Nuts satisfies and nourishes.
It delights the taste. It is ready to serve
whenever you are ready to eat. And it
digests easily, quickly and completely
leaving no handicap of heaviness and
drowsiness.
Grape -Nuts Is the food for health
and action.

JUMPING BEANS FOR GIRLS
Sick and Wounded Veterans In New
Mexico Hospitals Are Hungry
for Cheer Letters. ,
Trained to leap through hoops and
stand unhitched, thousands of genuine
Mexican jumping beans are awaiting
girls of the United States who will
write a little letter of cheer to a dis
abled soldier. The exchange of letters
for jumping beans is being made
through Hermnn G. Bucn, Snntn Fe,
N. M., adjutant of tho American Le
glnn of tho state.
Five thousand sick nnd wounded
veterans of the World wnr, recuperat
ing In hospitnls In New Mexico, have
trained the beans. The young men
are .terribly lonesome, Mr. Baca writes,
and they will send a benn to every
girl who will write a letter to them.
Tho Jumping beans are dark brown,
somowhat larger than the ordlnnry
bean. Tho animation of tho vegetnblo
Is caused by a tiny worm tlint crawls
into tho benn nnd consumes tho edible
portion. After tho worm Is dead, tho
benn keeps on Jumping.
Hamilton Fish, Jr., One of Writers of
Preamr's to Constitution, Seeks
Increase In Compensation.
Tho preamble to the constitution of
tho American Legion lias been called
one of the sim
plest, most effec
tive nnd beautiful
pronouncements In
the English lan
guage. T h r e c men
wrote it In St.
Louis, Mo., In 1010
nnd it never has
been, nor probably
never will be,
changed. The men
wcro John Green
way of Arizona,
Judge Davis of Oregon and Hamilton
Fish, Jr., of New York.
Mr. Fish Is now In congress help
ing to put Into effect the policies re
cited by the preamble he helped write.

Unto the End.
"How's this?" asked tho lawyer.
"You've named bIx bankers In your
will to bo pall-bearers. Of course, It's
all right, but wouldn't you rather
choose soma friends with whom you
are on better termB?"
"No, Judge, that's all right. Those

It turned to n girl
holding the unin
spiring Job of

nmountlng to $8,
000 for the club

TRIES TO TRACE ARMY SLANG
"Doughboy," "I'll Tell the World" and
"Out of Luc," "Old 8tuff,' New
Yorker Says.
If the American "doughboy" who
started "I'll tell tho world" as a char
acteristic expression of the A. E. F.
took pride In having coined a new ex
pression he wns "out of luck," accord
ing to Henry Dwlght, Yonkers, N. Y.,
who has been trying to trace army
slang to its source.
In relating his uncertain success and
asking Uio assistance of tho demobil
ized world at large, Mr. Dwlght de
clares that each of the three supposed
Innovations is time-worn.
Referring to the expressions quoted
above, ho claims that Genernl Custer,
the Indian lighter, used "doughboy" In
letters to his wife, and that Arthur
Young, writer and traveler, announced
himself us being "out of luck" when
hunting for mail at Dijon, France, In
1780.
"I'll tell the world" remains un
traced. It is thought to bu very old
und verification of this belief Is now
sought.
