TOOK NO CHANCE ON CHANTS"
That Batch of Troopers Didn't Intend
TO Be Caught With the Goods"
on Them.

There was a colored labor outfit in
the S. Q. S. engaged in quarry work
near base port. A few weeks ago.
in the course of opening up some new
ground, they discovered an old Roman
burying ground with many skeletons,
coins and relics. The find made quite
an impression on the minds of the find
ers, and there were many speculations
as to whether the shades of the de-
parted DICTIONARIES still lowered around
in the vicinity of their last resting
place, The general opinion was that
a man ought to be on his guard when
out late at night.
About that time the sum of go francs
disappeared from the counter of a
nearby Y. NJ c. A. hut. The captain
of this outfit doesn't know a great deal
about classroom psychology, but he
has learned a lot about it in the field.
He called his outfit together one night
in the hut and told them of the dis
appearance of the money. Then he
outlined tine history and characteris-
tics of the old Romans.
Boys" he said, "there was one
thing a Roman hated worse than any,
thing else, and that was a thief. II
the ghosts of those old fellows who
were buried up there on the hill should
learn that somebody in this outfit had
60 francs in his pocket, I don't know
just what would happen. I'm going to
put my hat here on the table and turn
out the lights. The guilty man will
know what to do"
There was quite shuffling Of feet
and milling around in the hut, and
then all was quiet. When the captain
turned on the lights again and looked
in the hat he found not only the 60
francs, but 800 more, and a few odd
confines for good measure.-Stars and
STR oes.
