HE HAD IT IN

who visits them all, and finds them
engaged in their work as usual when

runners of ease and comfort who roll
the stones out of the road-line and
combat the desert for years when
the odds are against them, may wei

A Blackfoot editor drove into dool
yard one afternoon 81 miles by the
section lines. southwest of Blackfoot
and gazed about at mixture Of
green fields and frowning lava beds
and beheld a small boy and bare
footed woman hoeing in the garden
Approaching the woman he studied
her features and asked:
DO you speak English"
She turned to the small boy and
he answered mo"

where is he?"
The boy proceeded soberly to tell
Just how to go to his father, and
after he had gone "few links" the
editor man smiled at the interpreter
boy and said, Just say that again
as you did before, and let me write
1t down. and this is the way the
instruction read:
"You drive to that red barn on the
hill yonder at the cross roads and
right over the hill; then you drive
right down to red barn that you
will see; then right down to a farm
with, a black shack; then you go
over to a green house that you will
see; next you go over to school
house about half mile away; then
60 to a great yellow house half a
mile over; then down about half a
mile; then right down to a little
house; then you go about $50 yards
to a great church; then to great
house with blue strip around the
bottom. 1t is six miles from here,
and the church you pass Is German
church. If you should meet my
father on the road he will be driving
q white team"
The editor man placed large
period after the word team" and
said:
II will leave copy of my paper
for your father to read, and II he
likes to read it he can write to us
to send it to him for the year."
The interpreter boy said:
"And if he likes it but don't want
to buy it for the year, what must
he do?"
The editor man answered the inter-
prefer boy, "In that case he will not
have to write to us but he can keep
OH reading this one while it lasts
Maybe I will see your father"
The editor man walked away try
ing to recall something that was told
in a joke at the chautauqua about
the city mail carrier and his instruc-
tions as to where to deliver some
bOdy's mail.

The Sightseers at the Gayety
this week made a big hit. 1t intro
duces more novelties than any show
so far this season. From the time
the curtain went up until the csDsing
chorus put an end to the frolic, the
audience witnessed a show that
will long be remembered for pep"
and catchy songs; continuous
change of scenery moved the per-
formance along at. lively clip.
Due credit must be given to the
comedians, Will Kennedy and Jack
Miller, for the amusing way in
which they pulled OFF, their COM
edy, together. They have showed"
together for the past three years
Interspersed with the merry
making jokes and songs, several
specialties of unusual cleverness
are introduced; noteworthy are the
dope fiend's dream. the DEVILS
reckoning and a 'hash-house" par
ody. The exceptional dancing of
Flo Davis did more than its share
in making the Sightseers a show
worthwhile. going miles to see,"

bert's crooked aim, and a cop yanked
him into the wagon. He told the
court that a feud existed between
himself and the insulting bunch and
IL he didn't plug them, they would
have plugged him. Judge Aukum said
there was no excuse for a man to
run amuck with a pistol shooting al
everything in sight, and fined him $50.
Jim wouldn't Sin.
Jim Taylor was sitting in front OF
a garage at Fifteenth and II streets
northeast and two soldiers. Jot
O'Brien and Jesse Duffy, came
and asked him to get them som
booze. Jim was too old a man 10
fall for that game. because he knew
,, that some soldiers were doing that
on purpose.
He refused and both soldiers hop
| ped on his neck. A cop pulled them
of of him and arrested them. They
90 Brien and Duffy gave the COP
a piece OF their mind. The court told
them that the fighting spirit should
be exercised over in France and not
in Washington and on the promise
that they would receive military
punishment he put them on personal
bonds.
Geo'town's Narrow Escape.
Georgetown came near getting a
shave or else a bad cutting up Mon
day evening when Pleasant Wash
ington ran amuck with a razor. AS
| Pleasant was shaving his whiskers,
| some boys came along and began to
annoy him. They went away and
came back with some men and start
ed in all over again. Pleasant ran
out swearing that he was going to
murder the whole of Georgetown.
No you won't, because / am right
here said Policeman Gallagher, who
was standing near. 1T will make
too much of a mess" He took Pleas
ant, who had become very unpleas-
ant, and placed him under arrest.
He was very rude to the policeman
who had stopped him from commit
ting just 5000 murders, and any way
the court thought that Georgetown
didn't need a trimming. and Pleasant
was fined $50, which he didn't have.
Jim's Now In.
Jim Flowers, alias Bunch" has
a passion for neckties and garters.
We don't know where he got his
alias, but it fits very nicely. Mon
day afternoon, when the proprietor
of a Seventh street store was very
busy, Jim swiped pair Of silk gar
ters (men's) and half a dozen ties.
He ran out into the street and at
tempted to pass them along to a
confederate. The confederate stumbled
and ran and the cop nabbed Jim.
He told funny story about the way
he got the ties. 1t sounded some
thing like he said little bird handed
them to him. He looked so guilty
that the court fined him $40.

But how many Washingtonians who
witnessed those boys march yesterday,
on the eve of entering into a short
period of training before departing

can Red Cross will mean to them?
And how many realized that Washing

finance committee must say to the
people of Washington: Do not wait!
Give to the Red Cross now! II you
have given. give again.

ice fund follows:

TO BE FIRE SCOUTS.

Fire Chief Elliot Whitehead of Oak
land, Cal, appreciated the value Of the
scout preparation and believing that
the scouts can be counted on in emer-
genctes, is planning to form a fire.
patrol in each troop. These patrols
will receive recognition at fires and
VIII be counted on to prevent fires.
Instruction in fre-fghting and proven
ton and direction for forming the fire.
patrols is given by the chief himself.
Patrol leaders and older scouts are
eligible to join these patrols.
At the end Of the course Of instruc-
ton, short civil service examination
will be given and the scouts receiving
the highest credits will be eligible for
election as fire chiefs, assistants and
captains.
The patrol will be taken to visit the
fire houses; the fire-dghting apparatus
will be explained and demonstrated
and fire drills will be conducted.
A distinctive badge or shield will be
worn by the fire scouts. This organfza-
ton will not conflict with the organiza-
ton In the schools, but will serve to
strengthen it, as the school fire war
dens will be even more efficient If they
are fire scouts.
