PUT ONE OVER ON THE GUARD
Challenged Soldier Demanded sentl- nel's Name on Pretext of Report
 ing Him to Lieutenant

Among the members of the Indiana university ambulance corps at Allen town, says the Indianapolis News, there is one man who from this time on will require, while on guard duty, any person whom he challenges at night to furnish his full pedigree. There is a reason.
 Recently while the section was on guard at the camp this man was sta tioned at a distant post on the grounds, at a place where the guards experience great deal of trouble with men climbing the fence during the wee hours.
 Shortly after one o'clock in the morning the guard saw a man climb lenged the man, and asked for an ex- planation. It was forthcoming.
 'Well," said the challenged one, ':you are to be congratulated. I have been coming over this fence every night for a week and l have never been challenged before. would like you to give me your name and your section number, and will report you to your lieutenant"
 In a dazed manner the guard did so and the man walked off. Not. until he was "kidded' by his section mates on telling the story did he fall for his being duped. He is now on the trail of the man whose ingenuity saved himself.

Major Dale's father, Colonel Dale, was the commander of the Fourth Missouri cavalry during the Civil war. Among the relics left by the col onel was a poster announcing a meet ing of soldiers at the statehouse in Jefferson City, Mo. This poster Is now the property of the son here.
 Several days ago." says the owner of the poster, 'T put the relic in the window of my store, thinking it would interest passersby. The poster calls for a meeting of soldiers at the statehouse at o'clock. I guess I'll have to take 1t down as the soldiers in town from Ft.
