HAD TO HAVE THOSE CARDS
Canadian Soldiers CheerfuIfy Risked
 Their Lives to Recover Deck on Person of Fallen Comrade.

Captain McWilliams of the Canadian forces, told an after dinner story the other night to illustrate how large amusement looms in the life of a sol dier in the trenches.
 A game of bridge was in progress just below the firing step in front line trench, when the alarm was given to repulse a raid. Sergeant Mcbride snatched up his rifle with one hand and gathered the cards with the other, and in less than minute every man in the trench was over the top.
 Half an hour afterward, when it was all over, the captain was scrutinizing No Mans Land through the periscope, counting up the losses, when he thought he recognized the prostrate form of Sergeant Mcbride, and it in stantly occurred to him that the only pack of cards in that section was in ' the sergeant's pocket.
 Upon explaining the matter to his comrades, all of whom were bridge fiends, three of them at once volunteer ed to go out and recover that pack of cards, which they did. Men have re- ceived the Victoria cross for less ha- zardouS exploits.

 ''He is so conspicuous" said anoth- CT. Tall and gaunt with that un- kempt red beard of his"
 You ought to thank your stars that he goes to your theater at all," I re- piled. II certainly shall not instruct him how to clothe himself"
 "I should not mind his dress" said third; what I object to is that he always laughs In the wrong place. It Is dreadful when a favorite actor is saying something very pathetic or sentimental to see a great figure in gray stretch himself out in the front stalls and roar with laughter" T know" I said, grinning, "and the worst of is is that all the world laughs with Shaw when he shows them the unconscious humors of your perform ance."
