HAD VARIETY OF AILMENTS


/ There is a trio of men In this coun-
ty to whom Uncle Sam looks good,
but who do not, in turn, appear very
fancy to the Government. Recruiting
/ Sergeant Smith, of the local station,
was visited by this strange party a
few days ago, but they had to leave
without making a contract.
1t seems that ever since there have
been recruiting stations in this part
of Indiana, these men, always togeth-
er, visit the station and make a stab
at getting into service. 1t has come
to be such a habit with them that
they will walk miles to be turned
down, as they invariably are, on ac-
count of certain "imperfections."
The three came to Sergeant Smith
and wanted to enlist. Very well,
thought the Sergeant, and he pro-
ceed to ask number of questions,
without which there would have been
no trouble. s,.~ -e--.. 'as qr~
One of the gentlemen was afflicted
with "cross-eyes' and on the firing
lire would no doubt kill two men at
once, if he did not shoot between
them. He tried to hide this flaw in
his makeup by a pair of glasses that
were tilted so toward the middle that
they looked like a carpenter s
"square."
Another replied gingerly, when
asked if he was subject to any dis
ease, that "once in a while he had
fits ~ This would probably cause
more commotion than night attack
if one Of those "once-in-a-while' 50
happened on dress parade, and he
had to drop out of the race. anf.e ,-e
The other man looked sound en-
ough and the Sergeant thought that
here. was where he would put one
man on the right side. When the
questioning was about half over, how
ever, this one had to own up to the
fact that he was married, with a wife
and what would be considered a good
start at a family. He was tired of a
double existence and wanted to shake
it all and forget some things.
This let him out, and the sergeant
looked as if he had fallen down an
elevator shaft when he saw those
three file out Of the office, each with
hope in his heart that some day he
would be able to break into good
company and wear a "blue suit. -
Sergeant Smith could not under
stand until it was explained to him
/ that these three men come every six
months and try to enlist but are al
ways refused as the Government
wishes only "sound, able bodied, un-
married. men as soldiers. All the
same. the Sergeant is spending much
of his time thinking about his run of
"hard luck.'

ADJUSTMENTS

Whenever there is the thought OF
blending the various coloIs, whether
in the mstrous pearl bright

even in the up-to date Johnnie's red

minds eye the idea of the rainbow.
Next to the rainbow in the color
scheme and in chidhood's happy
hour perhaps as brilliantly associated,
comes the pretty, never forgotten
beauty of the soap bubble. Light ano
airy. beautiful ever, always remem-
bered for the many little joys II has

by the authors originally for naming
the laughing comedy with music "A

factory Account.

The story from Paducah In yester-
days Bulletin, relating to the finding
of the body of young man in that
city, who could not identified, created
much anxiety in the mind OF Chas.
Watson, an employe of the Butcher
Woodford Packing Co., whose son,
Carl disappeared from his home here
nearly a month ago. The description
of the body, answered TO some extent,
that of his son and he felt almost sure
that II was his boy until later in the
day when he learned that the color Of
the hair on the head of the corpse was
sandy, with a strong tendency to red,
which was not the color of his boy 5
hair
Carl Watson disappeared with a
young boy of his own age, named
Mulvihill and the first heard from or
about him was what young Muvihill
said on his return. and this was very
unsatisfactory Mr.. Watson told his
story to Chief Egan yesterday and he
had young Mulvihill brought to head
quarters for a questioning. Mulvihill's
story Is that he and the Watson boy
left together going 10 various points
in Missouri and finally landing in
Arkansas. He says he left Watson in
the Arkansas town working at a mill
and came home, and he does not know
what became of him.
Mr. Watson feels that young Mul-
yihill knows something about the
missing boy which he does not wish
to tell He says he has word from the
man who owns the mill in the Arkan,
sas town where Mulyihll says they
worked, admitting that the two boys
we're there, but stating that they both
left together
Mr.. Watson is much worried about
his boy and while graspng eagerly
at any straw that may present itself
as indicating his whereabouts or his
is filled with fear and sus-
pician that some great harm has be
fallen him
