Looked Like a Mistake

One Of the big eastern structural con- panies, having a contract to build a travelling crane above Il coal handling plant at a dock. decided to employ n surgeon to remain ''On the job. The honOred one was given a note which read, "Please hand this to the foreman in charge and tell him that you will ook after any of the men who may be injured by falling from the work. The Io;.tor without ado went out to the nlant He looked up at the false work that was being built in preparation for the crane, and it was so high that the men on it looked like lilliputians. He thought of the possibilities if one Of them should fall to the dock. and he aid to the foreman: Il think the con- nany made Il mistake. It should have addressed this letter to an undertaken.

SLEPT oN- THE MARCH.
Tired Soldiers Who Actually WaIkes

Tired Soldiers Who Actually Walked
 While They SIumbered.
 In an articln. ''Sleep Fer the Sleep Iess.'' in the Worlds Work the author quotes an eminent surgeon who made n study of sleep in the French army as follows :.
 "'In the retreat from Mons to the Marne we had an extraordinary human experiment in which several hundred thousand men secured little sleep dur ing nine days and in addition made forced marches and fought one of the greatest battles in history.
 "How, then, did these men survive nine days apparently without opportu- nifty fo" sleep? They did an cXtraordi. nary thing-they slept while they marched! Sheer fatigue slowed down their pace to rate that would permit them to sleep while walking. When they halted they fell asleep. They slept in water and on rough grounds when suffering the bangs of hunger and thirst and even when severely wounded. They cared not for capture not even for death, if only they could sleep.
 "The unvaried testimony of the sol diers was that every one at times slept on the march. They passed through villages asleep. When sleel deepened they were awakened by com rades. They slept in water. on stones in brush or in the middle of the road as if they had suddenly fallen in death With the ever Oncoming lines of the enemy no man was safe who dropped out of the ranks. for no matter or what pretext he fell out sleep con quered him. Asleep many were cap tured. That the artillery men slept ol horseback was evidenced by the fact that every man lost his cap"
