The Tale OF The Quarantined

You recall that old college song, 'It
Was Christmas in the Prison?'' Well
friends the song almost lived anew in
the history of Building No. 10, for a
quarantine was very gently placed on that
snack a week prior to the glorious 25th
contagious disease in the building alarm
ca, and justly So the authorities and
therefore in the protection of all, nice
squad OF soldiers was planted at our four
doors. Nobody allowed in. and worse yet,
no one allowed out. Prisoners were we
and with awful appetites.
" ere you ever isolated from human
contacts and at the same time entertain
persistent hunger? Or may / PROFOUND
another question: Were you ever iso-
lated, possessing aforesaid hunger and
then having the joy of being able to sat
isty the pangs of said hunger?
Wen, the last proposition is our expert
ence. Say, amt that grand and glori-
Gus feeling? Folks, we ate. We just had
TO hustle to get in three meals aday,
and consume the rest Of the eatables that
KIND friends donated. We didn't wish
10 slight anyone so we felt we must eat
to adequately express our appreciation.
And then Company l of the 10th In
fantry treated us like sentenced crimi-
naIs about to be hung in the morning. You
know the wardens always give the sen
fenced criminals on the morning of their
execution one big meal Well. that is
Just how Company / treated us three
times. day. Piled up mess pans with
choice food, well cooked by craclxer-jaek

chefs. It would weary you, / know, to
enumerate all the danties that were ours
to eat-and were consumed But / must
tell you about the lone survivor of the
orgy-the plum pudding. We set several
dates to consume this luscious plum pud-
ding but some how we never exactly mus
tered up gastronimic enthusiasm suffi-
cient to eat 1t. The pudding still re-
mains survivor, and lucky escape it
had.
And then the quietness that enveloped
the usually noisy shack. No shutting
of trench shoes on sandy floors was
heard; no Cohen on the Telephone" no
requests for paper to write four or five
letters, of which only one is eventually
written. Everything was so peacefully
blissful. Why we would walk up and
down and behind the counter and try to
imagine mauling, pushing, paper
hungry crowd of boys before us. The idea
of peace and quiet couldn't be grasped
but gradually our illusion left us and we
dropped back to our new occupation of
reading and eating.
One day the quarantine was lifted and
suddenly we were thrust from our mon
astic existence into life. And it has
been lively ever since.
Yet we look back on those quarantine
days with as much joy as we do on that
day when we held her hand and she said.
Nov, John, stop" Joy is a funny thing
after all. And our quarantine was joy

gives remarkable control over an un-

can be exerted on certain Of the ami

pie head harness has rope bit which
Will not injure the horses mouth, no
matter how tender 1t may be. At each
end Is large circular guard. A strap
attached to the bit extends I'D the

pulley on the left side. Fastened to
the end Of the bit at the left side is a
small rope which passes upward
through the pulley and then back
through a metal loop projecting from
the end Of the mouthpiece. An ex-

this rein causes the strap behind the

TOM BROWNS MUSICAL HIGH
LADDERS AT PALACE

Headlining at the Palace for the
last four days of this week, COM
mencing Thursday and concluding
with the Sunday night perform
ances, will be Tom Browns Musical
Highlanders, billed as "a musical
muse in kits" A big feature of
the new bill will be Olga and Mish-
ka Co. in sensational classic and
modern dances, assisted by Walter
Slater, violinist. The balance of
the bill includes Captain Jack Bar
nett and son, diminutive comedians,
in AT the Little News Club; Jack
Corcoran and Joe Mack, original
laugh creators, and The Ferraros,
surprising clowns.
Each of Tom Browns seven Musi-
cal Highlanders is a musician of
ability and as skilled with the more
modern instruments as with the
bagpipe. Their program is a med
ley of tho old and new song num-
bers on the modern instruments and
the real old Highland Bagpipe Sc
lections on that famous and pictur-
esque instrument A number of

ferent members of the group, some
of which are comical and all of them
well received.
One doesn't have to be told that
Olga and Mishka are Russian. They
hale from Petrograd where they
were graduated with honor from the
Imperial Ballet School into the I'm
perial Opera House Ballet, which is
the ambition of all Russians who
adopt dancing as career Olga
and Mishka separately came to
America, and here formed the union
for vaudeville that has resulted in
one of the best dancing acts in the
"two-a-day."
Olga's beauty, control, flexibility
and grace are perfect, while Mishka
is decidedly superior male dancer.
They are assisted by Walter Slater,
a violinist of pronounced tempera-
ment. The effect of expressing
moods simultaneously in dance and
on the violin is not only out of the
ordinary but most impressive. In
fact, as dancers, the Olga and Mish-
ka Company leave little to be de-
sired.

scissors until his party, the Regulars,
were victors In the local political con-
test. The Regulars were beaten two
to one at the polls.
Until the end Of year, Edith hoped
that at the new election the favorite
party of her lover might win the con-
test, and her erratic fiance be restored
to normal. Alas the Regulars were
beaten three to one this time. Then
came the climax, and her federation
Of year terminated In the final ban
ishment Of Joel from her company and
her thoughts. At least so Edith in
formed her friends, but she did not as
well tell them Of sleepless nights and
fearful days. 'You are beginning to
look like a wild man." Joels best
friend told him, but Joel simply held
his lips firm, and a certain grimace
Of heroism came into his set, resolute
face.
"TI keep my pledge, II I never shave
again!" he said obstinately. Maybe
the Regulars may hit 1t next election.
I'm going to continue to campaign for
them. The war has come along, and I
am injecting a patriotic phase into
the local political struggle ahead Of
the other side, and it's going to help
rs wonderfully"
To mitigate her longing for the
spurned love Of Joel, Miss Harper de-
voted herself assiduously to knitting
for the boys at the front and aligned
herself with all the patriotic move
ments In which the feminine part Of
Rossville was interested. She saw
Joel rarely, and then at distance. She
felt drawn closer to him, however,
when she learned that he was devoting
his time and money to encouraging en-
hstment and to providing for those
who rallied for the cause. The patri-
otic feature, too. brought Joel into the
arena in a new way, and the women's
clubs were ardent in working towards
an ovation for the Regulars at the
next election.

son, is participating In the spirit of
