Baden Private's Directions to Wife to

Spanked.

Berlin.-Prizes for brevity, and a
few more besides for modesty. 20 to
a Baden peasant, who for some time
has been with the forces in Flanders.
His wife has just made public the fol-
lowing laconic letters from him. The
first reads:
Dear Wife: l am still alive. and
have received your bundle. II the boy
is bad, spank him. Greetings, Adolph. -
Shortly after came a second:
Dear Bertha: / am still alive, which
surprises me very much II the boy
still is naughty. spank him again.
Greetings Adolph."
The third was in the form of a
photograph of Adolphs troop, showing
him decorated with the iron cross. No
mention, however. was made of the
medal. and the picture merely bore on
the reverse side this brief note:
Dear Bertha: / was wounded but
am well again, and tomorrow go at it
again. If the boy is naughty, box his
ears. Greetings. Adolph"
Perplexed. the wife wrote her hus.
band demanding to know how he bad
received the iron cross. and received
the following reply:
1T was very simple about the iron
cross. The major ordered me to stand
still. and the sergeant-major pinned il
on. Greetings. Adolph."

That the deLire to SHOW on and
thereby win applause is a powerful In
centive to action is evidenced by the
refusal Of a prisoner to leave jail on
the ground that he did not wish to
miss his chance of appearing in the
prison entertainment for which he was
diligently rehearsing. 1t may seem
strange that anyone should prefer ap-
plause to liberty, but this prisoner ia
only one OF thousands who have made
equal or even greater sacrifices to the
cause of artistic ambition, as the de.
sire to show off, is termed when
truth is submerged by politeness.-
