The crescent was not originally the
emblem OF the Turk. II was first used
by the primitive Christians of Con-
stantinople and the eastern provinces
Of the old Roman empire as an en-

Christianity. 1t was not until after

Turks adopted the crescent.

Ny 'intervew' with Private Peat was
a fiat failure from a press-agent's stand

word came that Private Peat was here
ana was asking for me. / dropped the
work at hand and rushed in to see him
humping into the corner of a desk. I'M
conscious Of hurts, and overjoyed at the
prospects Of meeting such a celebrity.
He was seated but arose upon being in
t!oduced and his good left hand clasped
mine in an iron grip That hand clasp
bespoke energy and l expected to meet 4
forceful young man who would ribble off
selections from inferno in a most adj
mirable manner But he sat down again
and that's all he did do. I draped myself
becomingly over the top of my desk until
some kind soul came to my rescue with
aid in the form of a chair. Then l sat
chair further back to make the circle Of
four more symmetrical. Still nothing was
said.
Then the kind hearted minister noting
my embarrassment mentioned the arti-
Gle by Private Peat which appea red in a
recent issue of the American and from
which he gained the key note for a ser
mon. The editor was right there with the
kindly Intentions, too, for he asked me
| II l had read the article. Deeper into the
regions of confusion slumped 1, when
had to confess that l had not read said
article. Then more talk ensued but ali
the time Private Peat said nothing and
neither did I.

at the book case in front of him. The
other two, endeavoring to help me out.

leace, asked me if there was anything
wanted to ask him. "Oh no. I managed
to stammer. And then it did come to me

what do you think Of raising home
guards and having them later converted
into a national guard.-I am sure that
anything you might have to say In regard
to the matter would prove of much
! weight in helping the recruiting Of this
company"
He didn't answer right or. but asked,
What is the population Of the citye'.
And he intimated that he would refer to
that in his evening talk Have YOU any
ADVANCE to give?" asked one Of my Goa CHI
es. Private Peat said NO. and to me.

"Oh, no realizing my misstep, THAT is.

was gone with a smile and a CHEEKY good.

told Puss how he had
been changed from a handsome
prince into a great serpent by a
wicked magician. as 1 mentioned
in the story before this.
Leave that to me-" replied little
Puss Junior. And then he turned
the magic ring which he wore on
his little toe around three times
and, all of a sudden, the little Black
Man appeared and bowed before
him.

MASTER" he asked. =
This serpent was once a hand

the magic of a wicked magician he
has been changed into this serpent.

THAT is a hard matter" said the
little Black Man thoughtfully.

takes a strong charm to Work

the little Black Man ran his hand
through his crinkly hair ana
thought for a while.
There is golden apple that

heard this he lifted up his head and
said:
IF you will undertake this great
deed for me I will give you what
ever you desire. even my castle
and all my lands"
"I would not take them from
you" replied little Puss. Il am
travelling through this wide, wide
world seeking adventure. and II on
my travels I can help anyone who
Is in trouble. IL makes my heart

little Black Man.

And then the little Black Man dis
appeared and Puss was left alone
with the serpent prince.

anxiously.
"T do" replied Puss, and then he
spranC over tho garden wall and
