No Use.

The civilians who volunteered the
services of themselves and their mo-
tor cars to convey the Fatherland's
holiday gifts to the German troops in
the trenches at the front were sum-
moned before a gray old Bavarian
general to receive instructions as to
their behavior in the enemy's country.
The general explained to them that
they might expect in passing through
a village to be fired on by francs
tireurs, and added that the persons
who fired the shots might not always
be men entitled to bear arms.
Take an example," said he, fixing
his eagle eye upon one of the volun-
teers; suppose you have entered a
Belgian village, and while you are
spinning along through the market
square there is a lively fusillade d.
rected at you from the surrounding
houses. You turn toward your assaii-
ants and see nothing but empty win
dows. Only in the second story OF
one house an old woman is peering
out. What you'd you do in that case,

DROVE AWAY THE TOOTHACHE
In His Thirst for Revenge the Colonel
Had No Time to Think of Physi-
cal Ailments.

One morning the colonel rolled out
of his blankets with the jumping
toothache, and, though he exhausted
all the remedies in camp, nothing had
any effect. 1t was 40 miles TO the
nearest town, with the chances against
finding dentist there, and it was
finally decided TO appeal to one of the
cowboys on his station, five miles
away. He came over in response to
a message, and, after taking look
at the tooth, which was a double one
on the upper jaw, the cowboy said:
'Kurnel, I kin shoot that tooth out
as slick as grease if you don't mind
the scar it will leave on your cheeks"
Shoot it out!" shouted the colonel.
why, man, you must be crazy"
Wall, mebbe kin pick in enough
powder to blow it out"
'Never!"
might chuck it out with a piece of
iron and a stone!' continued the cow
boy.
"Ano you might go to Texas and be-
dignant man.
I'm only telling you how we do it
out here, and if you don't want that
tooth out you'll hev to stand the pain"
The cowboy started for his station,
but after a gallop of mile he re-
turned to beckon the rest of us aside
and said:
"He seems to be purity squar' sort
of a man though a leetle techy and
I'm sorry fur him. Is he good rider?"
"Only fair"
kin he shoot?"
Not very straight"
"Then think I can cure that tooth
ache"
He spent two minutes unfolding the
plot and then went over to the suf-
ferer and said:
"Kurnel, I've come back to say
you ar a BOBBY"
What" yelled the colonel, as he
sprang up from his seat before the
campfire.
"a BOBBY and squaw, kurnel, and
likewise a burned old liar"
The colonel jumped for him, but the
cowboy lodged and ran for his horse.
We had another ready saddled with
two loaded revolvers in the holsters,
and the ''booby" sprang into the sad
die and gave chase. After getting out
on the prairie half a mile the cowboy
began to circle and shoot and yell,
and the colonel followed him and shot
away the whole II bullets without
sending one within five feet Of him.
When the twelfth one had been fired
the kind-hearted cowboy rode off at
the top of his speed and the colonel
came into camp to dismount and
say:
Get me a hundred cartridges and
my own horse and I'll follow that man
| to the end of the earth"
"How's the toothache, colonel?" was
asked.
"Toothache! Why, it's all gone, and
I'll have that fellows scalp if | have
to stay out here all summer!"-Wash'

couple that found the paper spread out
on the hall table at the Old Ladies'
Home, with the sisters gathered
around 1t, peering at it, weeping over
1t, laughing, both sorrowing and re-
joicing.
"This II be good-by ter Brother
Abe" Aunt Nancy had shifted when
the news came over the telephone the
day before; and though Miss Abigail
had assured her that she knew Abe
would cometo see them real often, the
matriarch still failed TO be consoled.

YEARS SUPPLY OF BABIES
Facts Compiled by StatlstlcIan VIII
Come to Many as Something Of
a Surprise.

1t has been computed that about &c.
100000 babies are born into the world
each year. The rate of production
is therefore about 70 per minute, or
more than one for every beat of the
clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is not
every one who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes to years
supply. Il will, therefore, probably
startle a good many persons to find,
on the authority of a well-known sta
tisticician, that, could the infants Of
a year be ranged IN a line In cradles,
the cradles would extend around the
globe.
The same writer looks at the matter
in more picturesque light. He imag-
in7s the babies being carried past a
given point in their mothers arms,
one by one, and the procession being
kept up night and day until the last
hour in the twelfth month had passed
by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al
lowed, but even in going past at the
rate of 20 a minute, 1900 an hour,
during the entire year, the reviewer
at his post would have seen only the
sixth part of the infantile host
In other words, the babe that had
20 be carried when the tramp began
would be able TO walk when but a
mere fraction of its comrades had
reached the reviewers post, and when
the years supply of babies was draw
ing TO a c6lcse there would be a
