Resting Back Of the Limos.

Pretty soon the cook poked his head
in the door and shouted: "Hey, Yank.
come out here and clean your dixie I"
I protested that had wasted half
hour on it already, and had used up
my only remaining shirt in the at
tempt. With a look Of disdnin he ex-
claimed: "Blow me, your shirtl Why
In -- didn't you use mud2"
Without word in reply got busy
with the mud, and soon my dixie was
bright and shining.
Most Of the afternoon was spent by
the men writing letters home. I used
my spare time to chop wood for the
cook and go with the quartermaster to
draw coal. got back just in time to
Issue our third meal, which consisted
of hot tea. I rlnsed out my dixie and
returned 1t to the cookhouse, and went
back to tho billet with an exhilarated
feeling that my days labor was done.
I had fallen asleep on the straw when
once again the cook appeared In the
door Of the billet with: "Blime me, you
Yanks are lazy. Who in - a-goin' to
draw the water for tho mornin' tea
Do you think I'm a-goin' tor Well,
I'm not" and he left. filled the dixie
with water from an old squeaking well,
and once again lay down in the straw.

EARNS IA CENTS A DAY:
HAS WIFE AND BABY
And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even a Frenchman sometimes loses
for awhile at least, his "unfailing''
sense Of humOr.
Take, for instance, the case of q
man from Lille. soldier, Waeltele by
name and only twenty-three. He had
done pretty well. for the youngster had
already his own printing shop in that
northern French town, which is still in.
side the German lines. In the trenches
Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and
ne was sent to hospital at Grenoble.
There he was considered lncurable,
and after the usual three months of
treatment he was granted his IA cents
day pension. Said his fatherly army
doctor. My son. you can perhaps cure
yourself II you will live In the noun
tains. II you will eat plenty of nour-
ishing food and. above all. If you don't
worry"
waeltele should have smiled, but he
didn't. He was thinking Of his baby
and his wlfe-and his IA cents. "Don't
Worryl" The humor Of It entirely e.
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped in. he
was found by an American woman
with some American Red Cross money
for Just such cases. and within a few
hours he no longer had need to worry
He was sent to the mountains at La
mure, in the French Alps. happy In
the knowledge that his family was be- |
ing cared for by these amazingly kind |
Americana.
And now the army doctors words |
are coming true. Waeltele's lung u |
healing fast and he Is dreaming Of
another printing shop and Of living
again some day with that little family.
There have been over 100000 new
enses Of tuberculosis In France since
the war started. and to cnre for these
cases and check the White Plaques
spread - merely one Of the big Jobs
the American Fed Cross has Get out to
accomplish. II
