MERELY RED CLOTH TO HIM
Fact That 1t Was Cut From country's
Flag Meant Nothing to Ger
man Merchant.

1t is a known fact that the average
German will forget religion, civil
laws, and even his patriotism, if they
interfere with his chances to drive
home a good bargain. The latest dis
play of this tendency came during the
preparations for the victory ball, which
was given the Fourth of July in the
Enlisted Mems club at Andernach. AS
no Fourth of July ball would be COM
plete without "Uncle SAM" several
''Y" girls set, out to prepare cos
tune for the revered character. When
it came to purchasing the red cloth
for the stripes in the trousers, how
ever, it seemed that their plans had
gone amiss. Nowhere in Andernach
could a sufficient quantity of the right
eolored material be purchased. Final
ly one German merchant announced
that he had just what they wanted.
Out of closet at the rear of his shop
he dug a large German flag. Quickly
he cut all the red cloth from it, and
sold the material to the girls with the
air of one who had just accomplished
a noble deed-From the Watch on the
Rhine.

JUST WHAT DID she MEAN7
Young Teachers Reply Might Have
Been Merely a Statement of
Plain Fact, or

The young primary teacher had been
continually annoyed by Bobby's mother
ever since he had entered school.
Nothing suited her. At first it was the
hours, then the arrangement of Bob
by's seat, and finally after a score of
complaints about everything imagin-
able she began to come to school to
criticize the teachers methods and
hooks used. "Now, these readers are
not nearly so interesting as the ones
we used to use" she said. Couldn't
you get some of those old books and
use them to supplement these?" she
asked.
81 don't know whether 1 could find
any," hesitated the little teacher
But you will find the stories so
much more interesting that you will be
paid for your effort in hunting them,"
insisted the woman. "How l did love
those stories! There was one about
a little red hen. It"
81 don't believe that would interest
my children now" interrupted the
young teacher. "You see, the hen

grieve mamma so that she will get ill
and have to lie in bed in dark room
and take nasty medicine. and then she
may die and have to be taken away out
to the cemetery and be buried, and
you"
The child had become more solemn,
but an angelic smile oyerspread his
face at his mothers last words anu,
throwing his arms about her neck, he
exclaimed:
ooh, mamma, and may I sit beside
