for reading purposes. So the day long. while her
doctor husband wandered about through mud ana
rain with chlorc lyme in hand, she peered through
the stats, gazing at the bamboo paimtrees WHIP
ping TO and fro before the fury of the storm. Al
the appointed time she prepared dinner. She pro
duced her row of cans. In her girlhood days
there was a household joke, What we cannot eat
we can" Now as she gazed at the canned milk,
the canned butter and the canned meats she
wondered If she could eat all they can. Some
how or other the feeting thought of the girlhood
days made her choke. You see it was the rain
and the storm and the centipedes and things
which got on her nerves.

he hung on the window sill she bent forward and
kissed him. Then she heard him drop with a
splash into the disease infested pools below. Alto

piness as could be found.
Then she went to the loneliness and the dark
and the centipedes and cried. The wind whipped
the banana palms against the house, the rain
slashed down, she heard the lizards scuddlng
around and a big one outside. In a mango tree,

A year or SO ago a Montana boy

Private Sammy and Private Tommy there is a
healthy Anglo-Saxon Observation-Disclosures

brothers.
All this is merely preamble. but when the
Moro has been carried away and the congressional
committee has committed itself and the garlands
are forgotten Private Sammy goes back to his
own life, which to him is q highly important af-
fair. Somewhere, somehow. there remains in his
brain an impression that he is allowed the pur-
suit of happiness-and he pursues it. He does
it IN his own way and in divers places. The tur.

Alaska, In the heat of the islands, he pursues it,
and catches what little there is of 1t.
The world which praises and abuses him
knows him not, nor his life. The point OF view
is entirely different. A ponderous civilian at
the window of the paying teller of a local bank
observed an officer in uniform standing behind
him.

the rotund one. gazing superciliously at the uni
form.
THANK you, sir, 2 said the officer, ~saluting.
This officer was a boy lieutenant and his sar-
casm was natural. For within his short space
OF years he had played with the fangs of death
and made snooks at the powers of darkness. A
short time previously. at Luzon, he was ordered
to nnd the bodies OF two Soldiers that had been
murdered. The orders. were to find the bodies,
so of course they went and did. With seven
troopers and q surgeon he pursued his way
through Jungle scrub and cholera infested lands,
without food. drenched with rain. sleeping In
swamps. They found them. One was tied alive
over a reliant hill. after being slashed with a
bolo, and the other had been knitted and gagged
with a portion of his own flesh, Presumably the
supercilious circumferential gentleman did not
know Of such things and--this Is what stings-4
there seem to be SO many citizens OF the coun-
try whose ideas of the work Of the army Is equally
limited. Unfortunately, the men who do big
things cannot talk about them.
1t follows that what the man of the army has
to undergo, so must the woman OF the army. The
outside world knows the army woman as she Is
not. 1t sees in her life a succession Of society
events and realizes not the horrible other side.
