sen, in Ell Reno, Okla. Mrs. Humph-

occurred last night.
One of the women who had just be-
gun canteen work and hadn't yet
learned the difference between a sec
ond lieutenant and a general, claims
the distinction of having given Gem
eral Wood stick of candy. "And be
say THAT was his favorite kind of
candy" she remarked. The young
1latron saw an officers car on the
back of the train, but she did not
her stick candy to the officer with
the kindly face and all the other Of
ficers who likewise took it. But had
she known she was serving a general
she would not have had the nerve to
offer him anything less than a five
pound box of candy, since some Of the
second heutenants who have been
served have been known to say, mo,
1 don't care for it, give it 10 the
mem" When she Joined the other
rank of the officer she had served and
replied, well, 1 might have known
by his gracious manner that he was
a general"
THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has been i'll with influenza and
while he was not at deaths door, he
felt that he did not have what he
would call a slight attack His wife
would answer the telephone several
dozen times a day and reply, Yes, he
has a very light case of the flu. No.
he isn't very sick!" when the man
hearing it would remark, THE idea, a
light case, when I am lying here suf-.
fering!"
So the nurse answered a call when
his wife was out one day. Yes" she
said, ''he has the flu and is a very
sick man." She said she was reward
ed for having stretched the truth by
the look of satisfaction he wore when
she returned to the room. At last
someone understood his case.
