HAD NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD
But Officer Realized That Heneeforth
Young Austrian in His Command
Was an American.

The Second Indiana artillery is re-
sponsible for this story: In one Of it's
companies there is young Austrian,
who loves America with n greater in
tensity than he hates the despotism
back home" He was one of the first
men from his home town to enlist in
that regiment.
A superior officer had come to in
spect the company. He gave direc-
tions as to the way he was to be sa-
lnted, etc. "NOw, Wen try you out
and see If you've got all my direc-
tions." he ended. "Well begin by call
Ing the roll.
two steps, salute your superior Off
Ger and answer Here"
The clerk took up the list of names
and began calling. And 10. the. Aus
TRANS name, like "Abou Ben Ad-
hem's," led all tlR rest. For few
minutes the young fellow stood hest
tating. because he had not understood
much of what the officer had said.
Encouragingly the officer started to
raise his hand. A broad smile Of re.
lief spread over the Ausfrian's face.
few rapid steps--he was across the
room, seized his superior officers hand
and gave 1t hearty American shake.
Amid roars of laughter the officer
ruefully examined his crushed fingers.
He's an American now, all right" he
said sagely. :.

BUDDHISTS HOLD SPOT HOLY
Famous Pagoda, Built by Hermit, Has
Long Been Visited by Throngs
Of Picus Pilgrims.

Sightseeing tn Burma Is apt to be
one pagOda after another. and at that
the tourist misses most of them. One
that he usually does not see unless he
is especially energetic, or has an in
satiable taste for pagodas. Is the
kyaik-htO-yo pag0da, one OF the most
holy spots in Burma in the eyes OF
the Buddhist Burmese.
The Burmese say that the builder Of
this pagoda was a hermit, theory
which seems probable enough, for 1t
Is built on the top of a steep hill in
location which could appeal only to
one Of solitary inclination. Even the
crest Of the hill must have been too
close to the world for the holy man,
for he located his shrine on IL huge
bOwfder, which may have been steady
enough in his day. but which now
seems ready at any time to slip off
into the valley several thousand feet
below.
Assured by the Burmese guide that
the rock has rested at this critical
angle for many centuries. the visitor,
already GREATNESS from the reckless
ascent of Burmese hill, climbs a
swaying bamboo ladder to view better
the old pagoda. The great rock, with
Its shrine forming tiny pointed cap,
seems even more unsteady from here,
but the guide feels no uneasiness. He
is confident that somewhere below
the pagoda is lock Of Buddha's hair,
and this alone stays the bOwlder from
its fall.
In the early spring pilgrims from all
over Burma journey to this forsaken
spot to place flowers on the rock and
offer their prayers and gifts. Jewels
and other offerings are tossed with an
invocation to Buddha into the chasm
below the rock. AS they leave, they
place lighted candles outside the
shrine and, as they cross the plain in
the evening they can still see tiny
points Of fame marking the sacred
spot for other pilgrims who may fol.
