in the land Is done at colleges and
schools. Quite a lot of it. and all Of
it good natured and harmless, is done
in the army. An instance Of it occur

North Carolina regiments. The re-
cruiting officers had sent down with
a bunch of others a New Yorker Of
Jewish extraction, who expressed a de-
sire to join the medical department Of
the outfit. The one he wanted to join
happened to be full but they very kind

solemn procession bearing a stretcher
on which lay a dead" soldier wrap

explained that the man had been killed

and sitting down an another cot about
a yard away. He looked the frighten-

looked at the rookie doubtful. Then he

his head and started stropping it on
the bottom of his shoe. Just outside
somebody said: "It's too bad about

up that poor little Jew, just cause he
happened to get on his cot''
