Believes "Findin's Keepin's-n
Cook A W. Allen, who prepares all
the good things that are to be found
ON the table at the coloners mess, is
o firm believer in the adage that
sdndin's keepin's." The other day a
guard walked into the mess hall with a
prisoner "in tow"
Lieut.. johnson at the bull pen told
me to bring this man over here: said
he was wanted at the Sd Regiment
mess hall. Guess you know what to do

guard is a high barbed wire stockade
where all men under arrest in camp

had brought the prisoner from the bull
pen came running into the mess hall
out of breath.

mistake. He should have been deliv-

whore a general court-martial Is con-
yened and is waiting to try him. You
had no business taking him"

he gazed at a perfectly good pile OF
fre wood which he had obtained as the
result of the mixup
