Sambo. Billy Goat and Johnny Bull
sat down beside him.
"Hee-haw! Hee-bawl Tell 'em that
we're only fooling with a friend
cried Balky Sam. Bring on some
Huns and we'll show the kind oi
fighters we are"
Peggy interpreted this message and
the stage hands brought. on three
stuffed dummies-the> kind the sol.
dlers use in bayonet practice. These
hung from frames and they looked
very much like German soldiers. One
was labeled "Kaiser Bill" and upon
this one Balky Sam had his eyes.
While the stage hands were set
ting up the dummies, Johnny Bull
kept growing away
~ don't like that fellow back
there" he muttered to Peggy. "We
want to watch him. He's up to some
mischief" He meant the same stage
hand against whom he had warned
Peggy before. This fellow, while all
the others were laughing, was scowl-
! ing blackly at the soldiers in what
looked to Peggy to be open enmity.
Perhaps he is just a cross patch" !"
thought Peggy, "but he certainly
looks as though he were planning
evil"
Across one end of the stage the
hands built platform. Balky Sam,
Billy Goat and Johnny Bull pretended
that this was a trench. They
crouched down behind it. Then when
Peggy blew whistle they went over
the top" charging down upon the
dummy Huns.
Balky Sam, his mouth opened wide,
made straight for Kaiser Bill. He bit
viciously, then whirled around and
kicked with both feet. The dummy
was torn from its support and Balky
Sam pounced upon it with all four
feet, trampling it, biting it, and finally
kicking it through the window.
Billy Goat butted his dummy from
its support and all about the stage,
finally sending it under Balky Sam s
feet. Balky Sam sent it following
Kaiser Bill through the window,
Johnny Bull tore at the Hun so
savagely that in an instant there was
only straw and bits of tattered cloth
strewn about the stage.
The soldiers shrieked their 6oy, but
Peggy, glancing into the wings, saw
that the face Of the mysterious stage
hand was all distorted with rage.
"The show will be over in a min
ute and he can do no HARM" she
thought.
Ben and Bill rose to their feet and
reverently began to play the "Star
Spangled Banner" The Birds, the
orchestra and the soldiers joined in .

Peggy felt her heart almost bursting
with patriotic enthusiasm.
Suddenly Johnny Bull gave a saw.
age growl and leaped' from her side.
Peggy looked and was almost frozen
with horror. The ugly man in the
wings had run upon the stage. On his
face was look of triumphant rage.
In his hand was a round black ball
from which dangled a smoking,
sizzling string.
"A bombl A, bombP' cried Peggy.
The man drew his arm back to
throw his missile into the mass OF
singing soldiers. AT that moment
Johnny Bull bounded into the air and
seized him by the wrist. AT the same
moment Billy Goat butted him be-
hind. The bomb rolled on the floor
of the stage, the string still burning
rapidly, while the man went sprawl
ing. Balky Sam jumped toward the
bomb, whirled around and kicked il
far, far out of the window Without
pausing an instant Balky. Sam
bumped himself again and, Kicking
out with the force Of a piledriver,
catapaulted the man through the win
dow after the bomb.
In second every soldier threw
himself to the floor. Peggy and the
Birds did likewise. There was brief
pause, then came a tremendous roar
while the building rocked and shook
The windows were blown in and
heavy smoke filled the air. But when
the soldiers picked themselves up they
found that not man was hurt. AS
for the bomb thrower, no one knew
what had become of him.
Then again came the mighty
chorus in the Star Spangled Banner"
Peggy felt herself lifted up, lifted up,
lifted up, until she was through the
roof Of the theater and far in the sky,
with her Birds about her. Then they
vanished and she fell fell, until she
was safely back in her chair in the
garden.

Eyes, $l00 month, and soon 1t will
be $l25. Believe me, the government
jobs are easy money" And as the
young stenographer spoke she pow
dered her nose prosperously. Six
months ago the same girl was receiv-
ing $50 month, which was ample
emolument for the service her limited
education and experience permitted
her to give.
The case is typical nowadays when
stenographic labor is at a premium.
Recently Deputy Commissioner
Wright of the board Of education in
Boston spoke at a convention of
shorthand writer's. He referred to
the "acres and acres of positions in
Washington" saying that girls who
have barely finished high school are
hurrying to secure those $1,000 and
81 400 openings.
"But when the war is over" Mr..
Wright continued, "there will not be
acres and acres of positions and those
girls who have sacrificed training for
temporary work will find them
selves unqualified and left behind"
Be this as it may, the openings are
there and the girls can hardly be
blamed for taking them. Swayed by
the desire to earn money and prompt
ed by . strong patriotic love for uni
forms and badges, they rush needless
ly on, thinking only Of the present.
Girls comfortably settled in positions
catch the restlessness Of the day and
leave their posts for the government
call. In a large corporation recently
the manager threw down his tele-
phone receiver in despair. Three OF
his best workers had gone with the
government and every agency sent

Just an ear or two is left over from

To Boil Green Corn.
Hot water should be used for
starting corn, because more Of the
sweetness is lost in cold water. The
necessary time of cooking is short
II to 20 minutes. Corn is done as

and serve on hot platter.
To Cut Raw Corn from the Cob.
Cut through the center OF each

and scrape the pulp thoroughly from
the cob.

DALKY SAM released sambo and

startled and puzzled.
"What foh yo' act dat way, yo' ras-
cal mule?" he demanded. "Ah'll jest

Balky Sam winked at the audience,

offer.
"Ah'll kick de eberlastin' daylight
out OBJ yo," he shouted, raising his
foot. John Bull growled menacingly
and Sambo jerked back. Billy Goat
reared up behind him, gave power
full bounce forward and butted Sam
bo with whack that was heard all
over the theater. Sambo rose into the
air, arms and legs sprawling, and flew
like an awkward bird until he came
plump down upon Balky Sans back
That was just what Balky Sam was
waiting for. He bucked gently and
Sambo grabbed hold for dear life, his
arms around Balky Sans neck and
his long legs around Balky Sans
body.
Balky Sam rose on his hind legs
and waltzed around the stage. He gal
loped and kicked up his heels. He
whirled around in a circle, his jaws
reaching out wickedly for one of Sam
bos legs, which the negro quickly
drew out Of the way. And all the
time Sambo kept shouting:
whoa, whoa. yo' fool mulel Amt
yo' got no sense1 Whoa, whoa, All
say"
Peggy thought the soldiers would
burst their sides with laughter. This
delighted her, for she knew they
would have something funny to re-
member on their long trip across the
ocean.
Finally Balky Sam began to buck
hard. He jumped into the air and
came down with all four legs stiff,
landing with a jar that knocked the
wind out Of Sambo. Then Balky Sam
rolled over and over and Sambo had
to scharmble wildly to keep on the
upper side. When Balky Sam got to
his feet again he tore wildly around
the stage only to stop short and send
Sambo flying over his head. As Sambo
picked himself up Billy Goat was
ready for him, butting him back on
Balky Sans back. Balky Sam bucked
him of and Billy Goat butted him
back on again. It was like a game
Of foot ball, which ended when Billy
Goat gave bigger butt than before,
hurting Sambo back into orchestra
