WOULDN'T MARCH.

hope you will always take an h- terest In the marching. Little Tommy, a boy have heard about, did not care to march. He was fat and would rather sit still than run about.
 Tommy's mother hnd told the teach CT that he must take part in the march ing or any exercises that might take some of the extra fat off his lazy bones.
 So the teacher tried her best to get Tommy interested in marching. He was a new boy In her cluss.
 But one morning when Tommy had missed a good many words in spelling and had not had ,hc right answer to many of his arithmetic questions he was a bit sulky. Instead of blaming the mistakes on his own carelessness he was vexed with the teacher and cross with the children who had done their work right. It was very silly Of Tommy.
 And when the teacher threw up the windows and said, NOW the class will stand up, ready for the march" Tom my planted his feet StubbOrnly on the floor and settled back in his seat.
 The teacher looked surprised when Tommy did not rise with the others. She said: Tommy, please rise. You know we ure going to march now"
 But Tommy growlei, "I don't want to march"
 The little girl at the piano began playing the march. The other children stepped brisl,ly around the room, and when the last child passed Tommy's desk the teacher was behind him. She whisked Tommy out of his seat and, with her hunGs upon his shoulders, pushed him into place and walked hin around the room with the rest of the children.
 At first Tommy was too taken back to object, but when he found himself being marched around the room against his will he squiriucd and struggled SO much that the rest of the children who had been trying Co keep sober burst out laughing.
 Don't you think ycu could march by yourself now" whispered the teacher, and Tommy murmured, Yes"
 With his eyes on the ground he tramped brislily after the other chil- dren, and from that day to this the teacher has had no trouble in getting Tommy to join in the marching.

THIEVES GET MILLIONS
 LOOPING BRITISH ARMY
Stores and Supplies Stolen, Mules and Horses Disappear;
 Also Blankets and Milk.

LondOn.-The annual loss to the Brit ish army through petty thieyery and pilfering of stores and supplies has been estimated at $25OOO.0OO. Some account of the manner in which this huge sum disappears Is given by the auditor general Of army accounts.
 The Thlrty-sizth division ammuni- tioG column had n lot of mules picketed at BordOn camp in soil that was too sandy to hold the plcketing gear. One night the mules broke loose, and S5,OO0 worth of mules were never recovered.
 4 lot of horses mysteriously disap- peared at Ab5assia. leaving a deficit of S30,OOO. 4 civilian foreman at Rom sey Carelessly gave thirteen horses an overdose Of sulphur. and the horses died; loss, $+OOO.
 Pistols worth 1,750 were lost on the way to Egypt. Troops smoking in barn in France set fire to the barn and destroyed $2,000 worth of straw.
 Scores of cases are cited where the mysterious disappearance of blankets has cost the army thousands of dol lars. Condensed milk worth $1,000 dis appeared from a cargo between Alex andria and SOllom owing to pilfering by the mercantile marine crews on board. Since the appointment of con- ductors to accompany ships these losses have virtually ceased.
 Military clothing worth S1,0OO was sent to Winchester, where some one who signed himself "Corpl Barnes" took 1t over. The consignment was lost at this point, and so was Corporal Barnes.

five daring bandits who held
up 100 men and women revel-
ers at the Breakers cafe, mile
south OF the city. late last
night. They made haul Of

from the women.
The holdup was staged in real
days OF 40" style. Two OF the
five bandits. all OF whom were
masked, stood guard outside the
cafe. while the other three entered
the place.
As the bandits stepped inside the
door. they began banging away at
the ceiling with their revolvers to
frighten the crowd into submission.
The system worked like charm.
and the robbers calmly made the
rounds, gathering In money and
jewels from their victims. and toss
ing the loot into sack which one
of the three carried.
Shots were fired at three enter
tainers, who made their escape
thru a side door as the bandits en-
tered. The shots went wild.

Unconfirmed reports reaching

There have been numerous pre-
