trict, the local orator made habit OF
sitting on a certain chair against a
certain stone front on the main street
Of the county seat town at certain
hours of the day, the weather being

day came a young farmer who wanted
to know how to rid himself of sassa-
fras sprouts in his fields.
"Well, son." said the wiseacre, "off
an on I've given the subject Of sassa-
track sprouts considerable study durin'
the past 40 years. And here some time
ago I come to the opinion that the only
way to git shet of sassafrack sprouts,

to pack up and move off and jest match

tired. All around her motor cars were

a car" she said to herself. Il never
would walk a step if had car Of my
own. Just listen at that car coming

home in it. 1t sounds like one OF these

Then she looked up as the car went

BADGER SOLDIERS
RICH FOR A TINE
Each Private Draws Five Dollars
on First Payday.
CANTEEN GETS MOST OF IT
Medical Officers Place Ban on the Wa

One Dish of Ice
: Cream Each.

San Antonio, Tex.-WiscOnsin sol
diers in camp here have been rich for
the past few days. They had their
first payday and each man drew at
least So for eleven days service. 1t
was the first payday the troops had
had since they arrived at the border
and they were ready for tin fact,
they had ben ready for it for some
time.
Few of the soldiers kept any consid-
cradle part of their five dollars for
any length of time. The First regi-
ment canteen got the most Of it. A
short time after payday had come and
gone the men were ready for the next
one, but it will be long time before
the ghost walks again.
The business Of the canteen has
grown 10 such proportions that ar
rangements have been made for all the
Wisconsin troops, the First, Second
and Third regiments, Troop A and
Battery A, to cooperate in its manage
ment. They will share the profits and
also share the responsibilities Of its
management.
Medical officers have taken hand
in the management of the canteen and
have issued orders that no watermel-
Ons shall be sold to the men. They
also have placed a limit on the
amount Of ice cream that can be sold
to one man, the limit being one dish

Her Secret.

A witness, jolly, plump old wom-
an, in a trial in the supreme court OF
Massachusetts,, was asked what time a
certain train of cars passed her house.
She replied that she began knitting at
three o'clock and had knit twice
around the leg Of stocking before it
came along.
The next question, of course, was
how long it would take her to knit
twice around. The Judge here, in his
usual quiet humor, suggested that that
would depend upon the size Of the
stocking.
To this the witness remarked that
the stocking was for herself and they
could exercise their own judgment as
to the size, and guess how long it
would take.

The large red ants that have been
dining upon Wisconsin soldiers, are a
source of amusement, tragedy and
keen interest. The ants are perfect
soldiers. They go about their work
in an orderly and prompt manner that
draws praise from the soldiers. On
one occasion an army was building
a nest. They formed two lines, one
going toward the nest and the other
going away, and over this line the
material is carried. One double line
the soldiers saw was over fifty feet
long.

Get Paid for Drills.

In enlisting in the guard under the
law which went into effect July 1, the
men enter for a term of three years.
Upon their return from active duty on
the border, they will be paid for the
weekly drill for the first time in the
history of the National Guard. Their
pay amounts to % per cent of the regu-
lar army scale for the grade they hold.
This applies to privates and noncom-
missiOned officers. For the commits
stoned officers, it is not so large.
