WOMEN NEVER CAN SEE JOKE
This Was Browns Conclusion After He
Had Recounted One That Had
Been Told to Him.

Brown met Johnson the other morn
ing hurrying along the street. The
latter had Il parcel under his arm, and
Brown, always inquisitlve, wanted to
know what it contained.
WELL said Johnson, "if you must
know, I've just bought a pair of CATERS
very nice ones, too"
"Where att" asked Brown.
ooh, I don't know the name, but
it's a little shop just down that alley
across there said Johnson.
"Ha-hau ~ laughed Brown, who al
ways liked his little joke, then they
must be alley-gaiters.'
This so tickled Johnson that he
made up his mind that he must tell
that to his wife, so, on reaching home,
he burst into the room, and laughed
until his wife thought he would never
stop.
She could not make out what on
earth was tile joke, so Johnson started
to tell her.
"Ha-ha, he-he! oh, Tor, such n joke!
I just met Brown, and he asked me
what I'd got in my parcel.
Il told him I'd bought a new pair of
legeings. but didn't know the name of
the shop, but 1t was just down the
court.
He Immediately made a good joke
out Of it. He said, Good Then

opinion was that we had seen the last
Of her. On the morning Of the fourth
day, father, my brother and 1 took a
walk over the field to see If we could
find any trace of her. We say many
terrible sights. Dead soldiers were
lying around thick dead horses, and
many cowskins and heads; from this
last we soon came to the conclusion
that our COW had been killed for food
like the rest, so we gave her up. AS
we were eating supper one evening a
week or more after the battle, we
heard a familiar believing in the
street. Everybody sprang from the
table and rushed out. There stood our
dear old COW, looking as happy as 1t is
possible for a cow to look at being
home again. Next day we discOv-
cred that she had a bullethOle in her
neck and one in her side. She was
not severely hurt, however, and both
bullets came out eventually. We found
out later that all the cows in that par
ticulur field had got out In some way

On forest and field OF grain
With an equal mumur falleth
The cooling drip OF rain.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the rain the Blue;
Wet with the rain the Gray.
Sadly. but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm Of the years that are fading.
No raw battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms. the Blue.
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,

They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves OF our

Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day:
Love and tears for the Blue.
Tears and love for the Gray.

Farm Work.

Washington, April 16.--Proposals for
enlistment of work army of 100000
men and boys for agricultural service,
and other drastic steps to increase food
production during the war, were given
enthusiastic encouragement on Friday
at the department of agriculture. Sec
rotary Houston ordered wide publicity
given to resolutions adopted at the re-
cent st. Louis conference of agricul-
ture experts looking to production of
greater crops as an emergency meas
ure. They recommended that con-
gress appropriate $25,0OO,O0O for use
by the secretary of agriculture in such
a campaign.
upon the farmer rests In large
measure the final responsibility of win
ming the war;" declare the resolutions
made public here. Because of the
world shortage of food it is scarcely
possible that the production of staple
crops by the farmers of the United
States can be too great this year"
It Is recommended that boys under
military age and men beyond the age,
and those physically disqualified should
be enrolled in the national army for
labor in the production of food, NUM-
tons and supplies.
