In tn. Wrong Army.

A countryman who expressed a desire
to enlist in Kansas City was directed by
joker to a Salvation Army tent. The
Salvationists were singing a song when
the farmer crowded up to their little
circle. He waited patiently. Then one
of the men made an address appealing
for volunteers. The young farmer
pushed into the circle. and, taking of
his hat. stuck out his hand to the uni-
formed man who was talking. "I want
to enlist" said the farmer. Bang went
the big bass drum, and "Hallelujahi"
shouted sweetfaced little woman
"Another sinner saved! let us pray!..
exclaimed the soldier who held the
farmers hand, as he knelt down on the
asphalt pavement reverently. The
farmer was thoroughly scared by this
turn of affairs. Instead of kneeling he
looked about him. The prayer had al
ready started when he got his bearings.
Selling his valise. which he had dropped
on the street when he took the proffered
hand of the soldier, he broke through
the crowd, and amid the outlaws of a
crowd of newsboys he started north on
Main street.

whipped suddenly into the north. and
the air cooled 30 degrees in a night. We
