Atwell and were on the qui yive.
We constantly patrolled the trenches
at night, and even in the day, but the
spy always eluded US.
One day while in a communication
trench. we were Mortified to see our
brigadier general, Old Pepper, being
brought down it by big private of the
Royal. Irish rifles. The general was
walking in front, and the private with
fixed bayonet was following in the
rear.
/ We saIuted as the general passed us.
The Irishman had broad grin on his
face and we could scarcely believe our
eyes-the general was under arrest.
After passing few feet beyond us, the
general turned, and said in wrathful
voice to Atwell:
@'Tell this d--n fool who am. He's
arrested me as a spy"
Atwell was speechless. The sentry
butted in with:
"None o. that gassin' out o. you.
Back to headquarters you goes. Mr..
Fritz. Open that face o. yours again,
an I'll dent in your napper with the
butt o. me rife"
The generals face was sight to be-
hold He was fairly boiling over with
rage, but he shut up.
Atwell tried to get in front Of the
sentry to explain to him that 1t really
was the general he had under arrest,
but the sentry threatened to run his
bayonet through him, and would have
done it, too. So Atwell stepped aside,
and remained silent. / was nearly
bursting with suppressed laughter. One
word, and / would have exploded. Il
is not exactly diplomatic TO laugh at
your general in such predicament.>
The sentry and his prisoner arrived
at brigade headquarters with disas-
trous results to the sentry.
The joke was that the general had
personally issued the order for the
spy's arrest. 1t was habit of the gem
eraI to walk through the trenches on
rounds of inspection, unattended by
any of his staff. The Irishman, being
new in the regiment had never seen
the general before, so when he came
across him alone in communication
trench, he promptly put him under. ar
rest. Brigadier generals wear a red
band around their caps. ~

expression on a mans face.
For several days. Atwell and made
ourselves scarce around brigade head
quarters. We did not want to meet
the general.
The spy was never caught.

BELGIAN RELIEF WORKER
 WRITES CAMP FIRE GIRLS

"Your letter was long in getting to me, and it has taken me a little while also to find exactly the child you wanted-there are not so many little children of two or three, fear, since the fathers have been at the battle front for four years. Through a very fine French woman, head of the Con- mittee of the Aisne, have learned of little Marcelle JumeauX, born in 1915. Her father was Sergeant of his Con- pany, and was killed this year; it seems harder to have it come so near the end of the war. She has a lit- tie sister two years older They are driven from their home by the ap- preach of the Germans, and their ad- dress is-Madame We. Jumcaux, 8 Ave. Villepinte, Servran, Seine at Disc, France.
 AS to sending them bundles, I fear it is impossible. The mail facilities are needed for the soldiers, and it is illegal to send clothing of any sort, or, l believe, anything else, to civilians. This is something we all have to sub init to over here, and of course we are glad to make any sacrifice for cur men at the front; but I do regret that the refugees, who have lost every thing in the world, cannot receive gifts that would mean so much to them.
 am sending to Mme. Jeneaux your kind gift for two months. It will mean great deal for the welfare and health of your little God-daughter; also the feeling of having a friend thinking of them means so much to these desolate women. I am asking Mime. Jemeaux to send you a photo graph of Marcelle.
 I earnestly hope you will be able to continue your kind help for some time; the hardest time of all for these people is coming after the wares pecially for those whose husbands are, not coming back to them.
 i. I will enclose the photographs to Mime. Jumeaux."

NATURES LANDMARKS

The Devils Tower is thirty-two miles by road from Moorcroft, Wyo. This conspicious mass of rock, flung up by some ancient earth cataclysm, rises 600 feet above a rounded ridge of sedimentary rocks, which itself rises 600 feet above the Belle Fourche River. It was useful to the aborigines as landmark from which to direct their courses across the plains. Later on the white pio- neers of civilization in their exppo- ration of the great Northwest, also used it as landmark. Still later the military wars in the Sioux and Crow Indian country during the h. dian wars of the last century di- rected their marches by the aid of this ever-present tower; for it is vis- ible in some directions for nearly 100 miles, Automobile Blue Book.

 Perishing, American Expeditionary

 The signing of the armistice and the cessation of hostilities bring to an end great and heroic military adventure in which the Army under your command has played part dis tinguished by gallantry and success.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS
 ONE BEFORE--- ---SSSORS

This story is told of a certain very stern woman who demands instant and unqeutioning obedience from her children. One afternoon storm came up and she asked her son Tom my to close the trapdoor leading to the roof of the house.
 But, Mother" began Tommy.
 "Thomas, l told you to shut the trap!"
 "Yes, but Mother-"
 Thomas, shut that trap!"
 "All right, Mother, if you say so, but"
 "Thomas"
 So Thomas slowly climbed the stairs and shut the trap. The afternoon went by and the storm howled and ragged. Two hours later the family gathered for dinner, and when the meal was half over, Aunt Anna, who was stay ing with them, had not appeared. The monther started an investigation, but she did not have to ask many ques- tions. Tommy answered the first one:

 The conditions in the trenches were dreary in the extreme after the drenching and long-continued rainfall but the irrepressible spirits of Uncle Sam's boys were not entirely quench- ed when the order came to leave the trenches.
 Hurry up out of this, my gallant soldiers" was the cherry call of the sergeant to his waist-deep and rain- sodden men.
 "Soldiers!" came the derisive an swer from one of them. "I'm not a soldier; Pm a blooming bulrush."
 While out motoring, the party de- cided to have a meal in the open. One of them went to the village store to get the provisions necessary for a Welsh rabbit.
 q want pound of cheese and some ! large square crackers for Welsh rab- bit" he told the proprietor.
 q hhve the cheese, sir" replied the shopkeeper, "but I ain't got no large crackers. How would some small ones do?
 Sorry, but they won't do," was the answer. "We must have large ones for the rabbit"
 "Well, you know best, of course, replied the shopkeeper grimly. "But that there rabbit of yours seems a might faddy eater for an animal"
 "How," asked the stranger in Ten nessee's mountains, his eyes roaming over field so steep as to be almost perpendicular, "do you manage tt plant that terrible hillside? Seems tt me you'd be in danger of falling off.
 q can set right here in my dool and plant it," drawled the native.
 How"
 "Put the cawn in shotgun ano shoot it into the ground up thar"
 "And how do you get the corr down when it is ready for gathering?' the stranged asked.
 q can set right here in my dool and git it down."
 How"
 Shoot it offen the stalk, and i rolls down." said the native.
 "And yet" the town man went on "I can't see how you ever get the corr out of here."
 The mountaineer divided his sun burned mustaches with thumb ant finger and spat with deadly aim at { yellow-legged grass-hopper.
