Kicked Himself to Freedom.

Prisoners Of war have had many
thrilling adventures In their attempts
to escape across the German frontier,
but 1t would be hard to find more re-
markable story than the following, told
in a Dutch paper: Four British es-
capped prisoners of war, one French
man and seven Russians arrived at
Oldenzaal, besides two German desert
ers. An amusing incident took place
In the case of one Of the Russians.
He was seized by the German sentry
when in the act of crossing the from
tier. and In the course of the ensuing
struggle threw himself on the ground.
He fell half way on Dutch and half
way on German territory. The Dutch
sentry came to his rescue and tried to
pull him across by the shoulders. The
German pulled at the other end. When
the Russian found that the Dutchman
was helping him he started kicking
with all his might, with the happy re-
suit that he was safely pulled onto
Dutch territory.

Sweeping Away Of Lives Was Fright
fuI, Combatants Themselves
Being Mown Down.

In the famous Thirty Years war, it
Is estimated, the population Of central
and western Europe was reduced from
thirty millions to less than fifteen mil
lions, and yet during the whole of that
time there were only forty important
battles fought. and their total death
casualties did not reach half million.
All the rest Of the frightful sweep
ing away Of life was from plague and
famine, which not only followed In the
wake Of the armies. but moved down
the combatants themselves.
Nor was the deadly work OF these
fierce partners Of war-the terrible
triple alliance Of the prayer book,
plague, pestilence and famine-con-
fined to the civil populations. They
played equal havoc in the ranks of the
armies themselves.
Even as recently as the days of Gus
tavus Adolphus that great captain Is
said to have broken up his winter quar-
tiers and begun his summer campaign
nearly two months earlier than he had
intended. because at the rate at
which his soldiers were dying from dis
ease In their huts and barracks he
would soon have had no army left to
campaign with.

"PUNKIN" PIE IS BEST OF ALL
Mans Mouth Still Waters When He
Thinks Of the Kind That Mother
Used TO Make.

To a man still young enough to re-
member sufficiently far back into his
boyhood years to the time when he
had never had enough dessert In his
life, there Is no word in the English
language so suggestive of toothsome,
Iickerish Joy as pie, plain pie-par-
ticularly "punkin."
You can't spell punkin pie with an
"m" and "p," declares a writer in the
Milwaukee Journal. Pumpkin pie Is
the kind one gets In restaurants, fla
vored with cloves and allspice. Pun

it, and sometimes hint of an unmen-
would not dare ask mother. And of
all the smacking, ambrosial delicacies
catalogued under the genus "pie," the
best is "punkin."
There are other kinds, of course
apple, peach, cherry, squash. BURBERRY,
custard, lemon, mince-and every one
probably has It's value In the world.
Some people even may prefer them.
One never can account for different
persons tastes. But for boys, young
men and elderly men whose stomachs
have not yet grown old, there Is none
that will approach "punkin," the
khaki-colored queen of pastries.
One grows hungry at the thought of
"punkln" pie-the crisp, crinkly crust;
the thick, rich pungent filling, with the
dust of cinnamon furnishing its tawny
top; the creamy, dreamy, velvety, far
away taste as ones mouth closes on
its prize. Some appetizing joys there
are, but none that exceeds capturing
a piece of punkin pie, getting it into
ones hands, contrary to all social
usage. biting into 1t, until one almost

It was in a Sunday school on the
East side of New York that a new In
depreciation of Moses flight from
Egypt into the Promised Land was
given. The exponent of the old, old
story had told of Moses leadership and
of the attempt of the Egyptians to
wrest back their slaves from the fast
moving Moses. But wasn't 1t wrong
for him to take away the Israelites

Sausaoe Makers Repartee.

An old story which is being revived
nowadays concerns two rival sausage
makers. They lived on opposite sides
Of a certain street in London, and one
day one of them placed over his shop
the legend, 1--WE sell sausages to the
gentry and nobility Of the country"
The next day, over the way, appeared
the sign, "We sell sausages to the gen.
try and nobility of the whole coun-
try" Not to be outdone, the rival put
up what he evidently regarded as
final statement, namely: 1--WE sell sau-
sages to the king" Next day there
appeared over the door Of the first
sausage maker the simple expression
Of loyalty. "God save the king"

cashed for the full amount stamped
on the coupon. By coupon, is meant
one of the slips attached to the
bonds. Simply clip this from the
bond, being certain that the one

banks in whose keeping the bonds
are and the amount credited to the

that many persons intend to rein

from the bonds in War Savings thru

The coupons on the $50 three and

States: On presidential election day,
which occurs ON the Tuesday after the
first Monday In November, instead of

thus chosen constitute the electoral col
