JOKE ON SCHOOL VISITOR
Fortunately Hamilton Mabe Was Well
Able to Appreciate Unconscious
Humor of the Children.

The late Hamilton w. Mabie, the
well-known American essayist, was
one of those genial men who enjoyed
a joke on themselves. Illustrating this
phase of Mr.. Mabie's character, 1t is
told that when he was a student Mr..
Mabie made an address In which he
told this story:
He had visited a school in Philadel.
phia In which there was daily fire.
drill, The teacher regularly asked tha
students, children, what would you
do IL fire were to break out in this
buildingf" The children all repeated
in chorus, "We would rise In our
places, step into the aisle, and march
quietly out Of the building On the
morning when Mr.. Mabie visited the
school, While he was sitting quietly on
the platform, the teacher stepped be-
fore the pupils and said, children,
what would you say If | were to tell
you that Mr.. Mabie Is to speak to you
this morning?" The children prompt
ly replied In chorus, ave would rise
In our places, step Into the aisle, and
march quietly out of the building"

you G. Of E.7"
answered, "Yep."
In an angry tone, he commanded,
Don't you yep me. Say, Yes SER

II did so. Somewhat Modified, he
ordered, "Outside for church parade"
/ looked up and answered, u am
not going to church this morning
He said, "Oh, yes, you are!"
| answered, "Oh, no, I'm not But
/ went.
We lined up outside with rifles and
bayonets, 100 rounds of ammunition,
wearing our tin hats, and the march
to church began. After marching about
five kilos, we turned off the road into
an open field. AT one end of this field
the chaplain was standing In timber.
We formed semicircle around him.
Overhead there was a black speck cir
cling round and round in the sky. This
was German Fokker. The chaplain
had book in his left hand--left eye
on the book-right eye on the airplane.
We Tommies were lucky, we had no
books, SO had both eyes ON the air.

After church parade we were
marched back to our billets, and played
football all afternoon.

CHAPTER discontinued.


The greatest shock recruit gets
when he arrives at his battalion In
France is to see the men engaging In a
"cootie" hunt. With an air of con-
tempt and disgust he avoids the COM
pany of the older men, until a couple
Of days later, In torment of itching,
he also has TO resort to shirt hunt,
or spend many sleepless night of
misery. During these hunts there are
lots of pertinent remarks banded back
and forth among the explorers, such
as, "Say, Bill, I'll swap you two little
ones for a big one" or, 'T've got a
black one here that looks like Kaiser
BILL"
One sunny day In the front-line
trench, saw three officers sitting out
side of their dugout ("cooties" are no
respecters of rank have even noticed
a suspicious uneasiness about a certain
well-known generaD, one of them was
a major, twoaof them were exploring
their shirts, paying no attention to the
occasional shells winch passed over

every now and then he would lay aside
his writing-pad, search his shirt for
few minutes, get an inspiration, and
then resume writing. AT last he fin
ished his letter and gave 1t to his run
ner." was curious to see whether he
was writing to an insect firm, so when
the runner passed me | engaged him
In conversation and got glimpse at
the address on the envelope. 1t was
addressed to Miss Alice Somebody, in
London. The runner informed me
that Miss Somebody was the majors
sweetheart and that he wrote to her
every day. Just imagine 1t, writing
love letter during "cootie" hunt; but
such Is the creed of the trenches.

Upon enlistment we had identity
disks issued to us. These were small
disks of red fiber worn around the neck
by means of a string. Most of the Tom
mics also used little metal disk which
they wore around the left wrist by
means Of q chain. They had previous
ly figured 1t out that IL their heads
were blown off, the disk on the left
wrist would identify them. If they lost
their left arm the disk around the neck
would serve the purpose, but If their
head and left arm were blown off, no
one would care who they were, so 1t
did not matter. On one side OF the
disk was inscribed your rank, name,
number and battalion, while on the
other was stamped your religion.
G. of e., meaning Church of Eng
land; II. c., Roman Catholic; W., Yves
leyan: p, Presbyterian; but IL you
happened to be an atheist they left it
blank, and just handed you pick and
shovel. On my disk was stamped G. Of
Il. This Is how / got it: The lieuten-
ant who enlisted me asked my religion.
l was not sure of the religion of the
British army, so / answered, "0h, any
old thing" and he promptly put down
G. of ID.
Now, just imagine my hard luck. Out
Of five religions l was unlucky enough
to pick the only one where church
parade was compulsory!
The next morning was Sunday. j
was sitting in the billet writing home
to my sister telling her of my wonder

cruits do this. The sergeant major put
his head in the door of the billet and
shouted: &c. of Il. outside for church

Dinner conversation offers the OPP
portunlty to eliminate all disagreeable
topics. To lay aside ones worries and
keep ones Troubles from obtruding.
The same should be said Of all oeca-
sions and good form particularly de-
notes that dinners, and formal dinners
mt that, should be freed of personal
burdens retailed.
AT ali times give interest as well as
try to inspire 1t and one Of the EN-
phatic ways Is to let the person who
happens to be speaking have your I'M
divided attention. Attention and con-
centratlon amount to about the same
thing and should apply to what one IL
oneself saying as well as hearing.

vAP0R BATHS IN LAPLAND
Writer'S Strenuous Experience OF
Cleansing Process Finishes With
Being Bastinadoed.

In Wide World Frank Hedges But
Ter describes a yapor bath In the land
of the Eapps. He says:
The bathhouse is a small wooden
structure generally situated some way
from the dwelling house. II Is divided
into two compartments, one to undress
I'm, while the other contains the oven
which produces the steam. The oven
is arched with large stones or pebbles,
and heated by fire placed beneath.
Undressing In the first ROOM one en-
tiers the heated compartment. After a
short rest on a wooden form or bench,
which contains place for the head,
the attendants come in and battle you.
Cold water Is thrown over the stones
and the kissing vapor soon sends up
cloud of steam. The higher you sit
from the floor the greater the heat. AS
more water Is thrown over the red-hot
stones the vapor becomes so intense
that one can hardly breathe. We were
soon gasping for breath and covered
with profuse perspiration which is-
sued from every pore of the skin.
Hanging up In the room were tender
branches or twlgs in green state and
retaining their leaves. Dipping these
In water, the attendant began lashing
and whipping me across the legs,
shoulders, lolns and back, till my body
seemed quite red with the switching.
The bastinadoing over, was then
washed with soft flannel covered
with soap, after which jug of the
coolest water was thrown over my
head and body.

The next morning the draft was in
spected by our general, and we were
assigned to different companies. The
boys in the brigade had nicknamed
this general Old Pepper, and he GER

One morning we were informed that
we were going up the line, and our

1t took us three days to reach re-

ing the sound of the guns nearer and
nearer. At night, way off in the dis
lance we could see their flashes, which
lighted up the sky with red glare.
Against the horizon we could see
numerous observation balloons or "sau-
sages" as they are called.
On the afternoon of the third days

being shelled. A thrill ran through me
and / gazed in awe. The airplane was
making wide circles in the air, while
little puffs of white smoke were burst

like tiny balls Of cotton while after
each burst could be heard q dull
