He went back to the company that

But his sins found him out. He
was pinched, but protested his twin
brother was guilty and not him.

he couldn't tell the difference himself.

Mary grabbed a knife and stabbed
him in the right breast. Her life was

do something.
Since that time. both have patch

Andy asked Judge Mcmahon not

said. "she jist stabbed me in nah

OF course everybody laughed.
They failed to see the difference
between a stab and a cut.
But Andy still insisted that he
wasn't cut. Neither was IL very
deep. Only three inches. he stated.
Judge Mcmahon didn't feel like
letting Mary go entirely without
punishment. Stabbings and cuttings
are too common for that.
And SO he fined her SIS.

TEN, conditions at Brest and other

in the house on the eleven hundred
million dollar military appropriation
bill. Passage of the measure went
over until next week despite the
holding of a second night session in
an effort 10 speed up it's considera-
ton.
Efforts OF Rep. Frear, of Wiscon-
sin republican,, to have many of
the appropriation items reduced be-
cause they were complete suesses"
were voted down, with the exception
of that TO cut in half the $4,000, 600
appropriation for maintenance of
barracks and quarters of the coast
artillery. Various provisions per-
hitting building construction by va
rious war department bureaus also
were eliminated. An amendment
was adopted requiring the use of
army automobiles only for business
purposes.
Rep. Johnson, of South Dakota,
republican. who served as an officer
with the American forces abroad,
condemned the court martial system
and sought TO have the house adopt
as a rider 10 the appropriation
measure the bill Of Sen. Chamber
lain. OF Oregon. providing for revi-
sion of court martial procedure. Rep.
Gordon. of Ohio. a democratic
member OF the military committee,
defeated Mr.. Johnson's proposal on
