HAD NO CHANCE WITH HIM
Easy to Understand Why 6linkers Car

Carnival Costume.

When the Slocum Tennis club held
carnival In aid of war funds every
body began to talk about Blinkers.
What costume would he wear? His
calves were too thin for knee-breeches,
and his arms too slim for a Viking,
while his small head, scant Of hair,
would be lost In an antique helmet.
On the great day, however, Blink
ers was first favorite. All the ladies
crowded round him and voted for him
to have the prize, while William the
Conqueror and Hamlet loafed dismal
ly around alone.
A late arrival, logged out as re-
splendent Roman warrior, asked:

Money Burns Their Pocket

Paris.-No wonder that American
soldiers astound the French with their
money-spending proclivity. Shops
stocked sufficiently in the ordinary
course of events to last six months
are frequently cleaned out in day
when the Yankees arrive. The Amer
leans just simply buy everything in
sight.
A bunch of troops just arriving from
the long journey overseas, or perhaps
having been shunted around month
or so after landing, reach permanent
camp and are paid Off. Frequently
they haven't had pay day In two or
three months.
Then with their pockets full of the
strange francs they go to town and
make up for lost time. They overlook
nothing from Swiss watch to an arm
full of souvenirs to send back home.
But with all the spending and buy
ing it is remarkable that there are so
few cases of drunkenness. The wine
shops are open to the Americans at

into dugouts. There is gas to blind

There are laughs and cries; the
laugh of comrade as he struggles
on, or the cry Of another as he drops
his rifle and puts his hand to his
heart-his last cry. There is the yell
of the hunter, the wild-crying despair
of the hunted. The PUNK of the NOR

to the tumult of the Storm
