Not So Stupid.

The overbearing ways of drill ser.
yeants with new recruits are afamiliar
subject of gossip in the barracks OF
European countries.
On one occasion a recruits profes-
sional man-showed so little aptitude
for military movements that the SER
geant broke out to him:
"Blockhcad! Are they all such
idiots as you in your family?"
mo-" said the recruit, II have a
brother who is a great deal more stu.
pid than l am"
Possible? And what on cart h does
this incompatible blockhead do?"
HE is a %sergeant!"

Something Of a Weapon


Police Captain Cox, of the East
Side, vas last evening exhibiting a
murderous weapon in the city jail,
the like ofwhich has been seen
before. 1t is a folding sword that
can be used either as a club o. a
sword and when opened is about
two feet and a halfin length. It's blade
is made OF heavy steel, tapering to a
point at the end, and both edges are
sharpened. The weapon is heavy
enough to take off a head at a single
blow. 1t can be opened in al instant
by pressing a small spring at the end
OF the hilt, which let's a heavier spring
throw out the blade. Captain Cox
says the weapon is n historical relic,
having been found on the field of the
Custer massacre, but tradition
and Jailer Hudson say that it was
once the property OF Turkish brigade.

There was to be q dance that night

Upon the mountain side a light
fickered from the window OF Dandy

The revealers observed it as they
went in groups to the ball and Won

An hour after the latest arrivals

The light from the window streamed
down the path and the visitors found
no difficulty in reaching the cabin
though the night was dark.
In response to their knock they were
invited to enter and within they found
Dandy jim seated in tine corner in the
deepest detection.
Hello, JIM" greeted the spokes-
man, cheerily, "why amt yer at the
shindig?"
"Can't boys. I can't come" and
Jim's lips quivered.
whats the row? Got news from
the East? Is yer mother dead or yer

"Wusn't that, boys. I amt got

jim hastily brushed his eyes and
the visitors looked m%ournfully at

They knew that on such a night
there were no spare garments in the
gulch that would fit Dandy jim.
