denly Dismounted From Mule
Never Saw Things That Way.

A young soldier was watching the
efforts Of his fellow privates to ride &
refractory mule. Not one Of them
could stay on it's back for two sec
onds. .
At last the looker-en approached and
drawled:
II say, let me show you how it's
DONE"
"Come on, then" said the soldiers.
The youth sided up to the mule,
swung himself on the animals back,
wrapped his legs beneath its body
and took a firm hold on the reins. The
mule made a slight effort to dislodge
him, but the man stuck. Another
slightly more strenuous effort by the
mule also failed. Then, laying his ears
bdck, and taking a deep breath, the
mule shot his heels into the air at an
angle of 65 degrees, and the young
man was propelled to the ground.
He slowly arose to his feet, screwed
bis face into a smile and said:
"Now, that's the way, boys! When
you see he's goin' to pitch you off, just
get off,"

They Had Escaped From Prison

With the Americans on the vesle

Of MI. Carmel, Pa. always was a
curious sort Of person. AS a sentry on
duty just outside headquarters of his
outfit in the war zone. he was always
wanting to know just what business
other people had around there, II he
didn't know them, Or If they didn't APP
pear to be at home. Peter would stop
a membe of his own outfit If the lat
ter's actions didn't look good to him.
While Peter was thus looking after
his job as sentry. always curious and
always stopping people he wasn't eure
OF, two Germans escaped from a prison
camp. This camp was some 100 miles
or so from Peter and his sentry posts,
on h Marine. The W. Heinies in some
way had obtained old French uniforms.
They had gotten a little food together,
and sneaking by the guards one night,
headed for the German lines. They
Travelled several nights. Their food ran
out, and they lived on wheat and veg
etables from he fields. They kept to
the woods most Of the time, but oc-
casionally allied soldiers saw them. On
account of their French. uniforms no
one paid my particular attention to
the fugitlves.
After four days the Heinies reached
the Marine region. Things were lively
there then. Troops were on the move.
everyone was busy and no one paid
any attention to a pair Of unattached
French soldiers. So the Germans be-
came bold. They passed through a viii
lage in broad daylight.
Peter had just taken up his early
afternoon trick at his post right at the
gate Of headquarters. His rifle was

buttoned up as smartly AZ for parade.

considerable movement along the
road. Wagons, men and horses were
hurrying past. Most Of the men were
Americans, but Peter noticed some
French here and there.
Then he saw two Frenchmen in par
ticular. They were walking slowly. The
first thing Peter noticed vas that they
needed a shave. Also their uniforms
were soi'ed. Peters curiosity began to
work. He watched the pair closely, and
became more curious. Just why should
two Frenchmen be as far back II the
lines an ~headquapto rs, and look as
though they had lust stepped out of

The objects Of Peters curiosity by
this time were right in front of the
gate leading to headquarters.
Peter stepped out into the road.
How are you?" Peter ventured in
his very best French.
Very good; and you?" came the re-
Spouse.
Then Peter wanted to know where
the two were going, and where they
came FROM. He got an answer. but his
retort was:
"Oh. I guess, not"
simultaneously his rifle clicked and
he covered the strangers.
Peter marched them away. A brisk
line of questioning and the story Of
the two Germans came out.
Peter returned to his post. And then,
with the Americans, pride in his new
ly mastered" language. Peter told his
pals the real secret Of his capture.
ut was all up with 'em. as o az
they began to talk to me" said Peter.
They spoke rotten French"
