The Joke Was On Her Mother.

Well, that's a good joke on your mother" remarked the husband to the June bride after the family Sun day dinner. She is always so par ticular about butter, and when you put on the Benefit Brand Sweet Nut Margarine, I wanted to kick you un- der the table.
 Yes, 1t was funny when she said, in her best manner What good but ter you have. my dear! Of course told her all about it afterwards. She could hardly believe it, and tomor- row she is going around to the Direct Importing Co.'S yellow front store, either at PIT Main St.. or 365 Arch St, New Britain, for you know it's the only place in town where you can buy Sweet Nut and where Benefit Brand Teas and Coffees are retailed at wholesale prices. You see it looks like butter when served and tastes like butter, although it is churned out and pasteurized milk. Somehow I like it better when I think it is made of such appetizing Ingredients

CHATTER TX.

Copyright, 1918, by William Fox) A s Congressman Burroughs stood be- 4 before the waiting crowd on that July day in 1882 to announce the winner in the competition for ap- pointment as a West Point cadet, John Pershing felt a keener anxiety enced. He knew he had done his best; but he did not know whether that best was good enough to defeat his competitor, Higginbotham.
 It seemed an age while the Hon. orable MT. Burroughs tumble for his glasses, put them on, and made sun- dry other preparatory moves. AS a further increase to the tension, he en- tered upon lengthy preamble which was not unlike a political speech. At last he reached his main deliverance thus:
 After a thorough examination of inc papers we find that John J. Pershing of Laclede is the successful contestant having defeated Frank Higginbotham- by one point. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that I shall send the name of John Pershing to the War Department in Washing ton as my appointment to the cadet ship at West Point. In accordance with the usual custom, the name of Frank Higginbotham shall go as his alternate"
 MT. Burroughs reached down and shook Johns hand, warmly congrat- ulating him on his victory. John re- piled:
 T believe this to be the greatest opportunity a man ever had. AL though it~seems hardly possible that this nation will draw the sword for a hundred years or more, ] shall do
New Britain herald., 1918-10-04

John prepared his papers and his complete grasp of the subject in hand commanded the attention of the of ficers and it was realized, even dur ing his plebe year, that he would rise far in his chosen career.
 At the end of the year he was one of the leaders of his class. He was now what was termed a "yearling' For the first two years a cadet was required to remain at the academy. No leave or vacation was given until the end of the second year-when he was given permission to return home for three months, unless he was so far behind in his studies that it was necessary for him to remain and catch up.
 With the prospect of returning home the next summer, John applied himself industriously. Cavalry in struction was not given until the second year. He interested himself particularly in this branch of the service. He loved horses, and the more he knew about them the more he loved them. A circus rider has no better training in equestrianism than has a. West Point cadet.

am;able intention of cracking down on the Tanks with machine guns as soon as head showed.
 Of course the soldiers, accustomed to all sorts of bombardments, merely laughed at the rocks and the meeting was carried to a highly successful conclusion
 It was said that Dr.-Smith spoke with even more than his accustomed eloquence as the stones rattled off the parapet. When he gets back to St. Louis after the war and resumes his pulpit, he contemplates hiring small boys to throw things at the outside of the church during services. He thinks that it would make him feel more up to his work than would the accus- toned quiet of the St. Louis Sabbath.

 A. Battlefront Speaker
(By E. A. Batchelor.)

Paris, Sept. IA, (By Mail,)-It is no novelty nowadays for workers con- nected with the American Y. M. c. A. to conduct meetings under difficulties that would be considered discOuraging by ministers unaccustomed to the hardships and perils of the western front These workers frequently speak under shell and machine gun fire, sometimes in trenches, some- times in dugouts, sometimes in clumps of woods.
 But pr. F. Crombie Smith, of St. Louis, Mo-, had an experience dur ing the big push on the Chateau Thierry front that is regarded as un- usual evea-in these hectic times.
 pr. Smith, pastor of the Maple Avenue M E. church in the Mound City, was made the target for rocks thrown by the Germans. AS Roche soldiers never have been noted for strong throwing arms, it is fair to as- sume the minister was fairly close

when they were assailing him. He
 was in the front line trenches on the N1arne just before the Huns made their unsuccessful attack on the American forces, and the enemy was encamped on the other bank of the stream, which at this point is narrow.
 The Germans could hear the Yankees talking in their trenches, just as the Yankees, could hear the guttural accents of the foe whenever there was a lull in the firing. VOn TIindenburg's folks suspected that there must be something going on. With their natural tendency to make themselves as -dfsagreeable as possible, they began the rock barrage in hopes of enticing some of the Americans to rise up and reply The Hun had the

 My boy, I knew. you would win.'' Just then the winner saw his late antagonist, Frank Higginbothan on the outskirts of the crowd. hurrying away to hide his disappointment. John ran over to him and held out his hand.
 'T'm sorry--awfully sorry-that we both could not have won. I know how I would, have felt had I been in your place.. I don't want2you to feel unkindly toward me, for I want to be your friend"
 Frank took his hand with a hearty grasp and wished him the greatest success in his new career.
 This competitive examination was only for the purpose of selecting the candidate for appointment John discovered that he would have to pass another and harder test at the Mill tary Academy itself before he could actually he admitted.
 The examinations at West Point were held in June and in September. Those admitted on the early tests had the advantage of the training at the summer camp. John was not ap- pointed until too late to take the June examination. It was in SeDtcm Der, 1882. that he reported at West Point.
 He found that very few were to be examined with him, the majority having reported in June. Many of those with him were the alternates of men who had failed to pass earlier in the year.
 John had not been idle, and the stiff examination given by the army officers had no terrors for him. He passed with flying colors. -~-
 A cadet entered in September was at 8 great disadvantage, as John soon found. He not only had to ap- ply himself to the hard curriculum of the institution but he had to learn in a very brief time those soldierly du- ties which most of his classmates had spent all summer in practicing.
 Then, too, he. had a feeling that he was an "outsider", Friendships had been formed among the men of his class at the camp which did not in clude him. Against these difficulties he had to strive.
 The lowest class at the Point is called the "plebe'' class. and John quickly found that a plebe was re- garded by the upper classmen as somewhat lower 9han the floors they walked upon. Ha1ing was officially drowned upon, but young Pershing probably had his share of all forms of hazing that were practiced during the sos at the Point

BAN ON CHRISTMAS
 BUYING IS LIFTED
(From Saturdays Dailyl

PHOENIX. Nov. 26.-Thc ban on Christmas buying has been flied. The State council of defense has been notified of this fact in the following telegram received from the Council of National Defense:
 Before the armiStice the council of national defense composed of the secretaries of war, navy, interior, agriculture, commerce and labor en- tered into an agreement with rep resentatives Of leading industries and retail interests to the effect that the sale of Christmas goods should un- dergo certain restrictions with regard to the employment of labor during the Christmas season and the con servation of transportation and de- livery facilities. Certain other agreements were likewise entered into.
 The council of national defense now believes that, as one of the steps essential to the rapid establish ment of normal after-the-war condi- tions, it should and it hereby does lift its ban in connection with holi- day buying in the desire to give a natural impetus to the unemployment 10 those normally engaged in tho production of holiday material and ir i this holiday trade. The council I: further impelled to this decison by reason of the necessity now con fronting us to get our military force: and munition factory workers bacl to the ordinary pursuits of life with the least possible shock in making the change.
