That Pot Of Beans.

We were talking with some of tho
boys who shortly before had served In
the trenches with the first detachment
assigned to the firing line. They told
us of the fighting and the raids and
how young Enright and Hay had met
their death.
But how do you like life In the
trenches?"
"Oh, not so bad! Geel You ought
to have seen those beans. II was this
way. The cook had just cooked pot
of beans for supper and had put It ON
the edge Of the trench to cool. when
along came a German shell and hit II
square. Gee! ! guess II must have
rained beans for an hour and we didn't
have any supper. 1t was great!"-
