joke that shoots a javelin into the
breast Of somebody. His fund OF
humor is Of the sort that must draw
blood in order to make a center shot
He has NO realization Of humor that
makes the world happier and better
because It spreads laughter without
spreading gore.
Unable to attract attention for his

and their families and the relatives of
the departed comrades
Capt. William NJ. Potter delivered the
eulogy and referred in feeling terms to
the loss sustained by the post in the

passed away in that time.
The calling of the names of the de-
ceased comrades by the post adjutant af-
fected the audience deeply. and the rela-

Capt. Potter invited attention to the rapid
passing of the rear guard of the grand
est volunteer army that was ever organ

He deprecated the sad fact that com

selves and their wives when entering sol
