"Pnvate' Allen was born sood-na-
! tured, and he will always remain so.
He fairly bubbles over with humor.
Last winter he attended an evening
entertainment 1T the residence of n
very wealthy senator. The dining
room OF the. mansion is a superb one.
On this particular occasion it had been
decorated regardless Of cost. ..Pri-
vate' Allen was asked to escort to the
dinner table Il southern woman with
whom he was well-acquainted. As
they neared the doors of the magnif-
cent room Mr.. Allen was struck dumb
lor a moment with admiration. Then
turning To his partner he said:
"My dear young lady. let It's pause
a moment OF two. l doubt if i can

There seemed to be trouble on his
face and the lady said /:

with you?"

In Case Of Fire.
R. E. KERKsM.
Signal Corps, Director.

In on orphan asylum containing
fourteen hundred children a fire broke
out one morning lately, just as the lit
tie ones were going into their school
room. The sister who has charge of
the ASYLUM stood in the hall when an
excited citizen entered and told her
the building was on fire. She allowed
the children to go to the class rooms
to which the bell had summoned them.
Then she moved quickly to a large
bell in the lower hall and gave three
taps. loud and clear. Three hundred
children in the school rooms knew
what that meant. They had been
drilled to the sound many and MANY a
time. The little ones stood up in
stantiy and filed gu of their rooms,
w and two. In not much more than
two minutes the whole great building
was emptied and the children safe in
the yard.
1t was the regular fire drill of the
asylum. The orphans had been m
throngh il time and again bv their
teachers. The scene was Il splendid
lesson to all teachers. The children
did not know there was n real fire TIL
they were out of danger. They only
knew that at three taps of the bell
they were to file out by twos. Level
headed mn and y fire drill in all
schools and families would save many
lives every year.-1ndustrial News.

Saying Goodbye.

Every now and then, as we journey
through this vale from the cradle to
the grave, it becomes necessary for
us to say gOod-by. Generally it is
said in sadness and with a sigh. We
wiring the hand of a departing friend,
the scrrowful tears are shed, then the
bell rings and the train goes round
the curve. This is the good-by that
sticks in the throat like n large three
cornered lump and persistently refus-
es to be swallowed. After this kind
Of farewell we will go home feel
ing that something has gone out of
life. We are like the man who puts
his foot for another step at the end of
a dark stairway and finds suddenly
that it isn't there.
Then there is the farewell that is
said with u hilarious chuckle of Joy.
We say it to the bill collector, whom
we have with us always, or have had
for a long time. We say it tothe bore,
the spring poet, to the man who reads
the exchanges and to the writer who
invariably refers to a oear AS bruin.
The sweetest good-by is that of the
girl at her fathers front gate, when
only you and | and the twinkling
stars are present. To some of us it
is only a memory that will remain
fresh and green long after we have
passed that callow age. The saddest
good-by is the one that is said by the
side ofan open grave.-National Week
