although he might not be paid by the
city" He denied that he had found

as possible for fear of stirring up the drain,' they told me.
 The floor was roughly planked over. but underneath were some inches of evil smelling liquid. I gave my message to the c. O., gathered as much in- formation as I possibly could from the various officers from the different parts of their trenches and then felt free .o have drink (some most ripping sloe gin) and a crack with some of the fellows. They hadn't had many casual ties-seven killed and seven wounded "a hit of bad luck-six killed at one fell swoop by a high explosive shell that landed right in the trench. :.
 After warning away for a bit lcnger 1t was time for me to be getting back. and this time l had to do the journey alone. It wasn't bad. I had got quite enawed a piece of hard ration biscuit past the bad bit

From Everybody's Magazine.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 This one is told on a certain pugllist who is far better acquainted with the bis names of fistic chronology than with those in the school history books.
 Having reached England in the course of his pugilistic travels. he WAS patron ized by nobleman with sporting tastes. A weekend visit to the country estate w in order.
 The gentleman personally conducted h1h ,licsG aoout the mansion. and when they arrived at a certain pretentious bedroom he said with pride: Here, sir is where the great Nelson slept"
 The pugilist stepped over and touched the high, white covered bed apprecia- lively. Gee he remarked. s'leave 1t to tho batalsr to plelk . loft one!'

SOissOns


 From the London Chronicle.
 Soissons. whose ruined cathedral now takes rank with Rheims as the prey of German guns has a religious and mili- tary history unparalleled among French towns. More than one great abbey took root in the town but the greatest of all was that of St. Medard, whose ab- bot in the thirteenth century. lorded 1t over 220 villages, with nnumerable manors and vassals! St. Medard drew in 153o over S00,0o0 pilgrims to the famous shrine. One or two of the early Kings of France are buried in what remains of the crypt of the old abbey. Every war thar France has suffered from has visited Soissons with intense severity, sacking ana bombardment following last ana roi- lowing faster. A century ago, in 1S1t, the town was twice captured by the all lies and retaken by the French to be- come, in the following year, a cockpit for the contending armies.

The Literacy Test

From the New York Sun.
 The present agitation concerning the proposed literacy test for immigrants sug- gests something that occurred not long ago.
 woman had telephoned an order for groceries. She lives in an apartment where there is no bellboy. Presently the bell rang and on opening the door from the private hall she saw delivery boy with her groceries.
 It was hardly correct for him to de- liver groceries by way of the front door and she told him he should have used the dumb waiter. The lad grinned, but it was evident that he did not under stand her meaning. She tried again. The same grin. To her the lad looked like a German.
 Do you speak German" sine asked in that language.
 The lad looked sheepish. much as though he had been caught in fault, and answered in halting English:
 No. lady. Only Russian--and Italian and Yiddish-and French--and little English
 All right she replied, feeling that there was no way by which she could reach the intelligence of this polyglot greenhorn, since she knew only English and little German. But she telephoned to the grocer and the ignorant lad did not come up the front way any more
