THE PUNISHMENT

A certain captain in the Sixth ma rines was regular bug on hiking. He had some sort of an idea that a sol soldiers favorite pastime was indulg- ing in fast 10-mile hikes. So in time he became known to the entire regi- ment as "Hikem Hiram"
 One day he had his outfit out for their mornings morning and was rid ing at the head of the column with one marine, who had a grudge against "Hikem Hiram," dropped out to the side of the road and took a pot-shot at him. Hiram heard the bullet whizz by his head and involuntarily turned and caught the man stepping back in to ranks. However, he kept on until the end of the hour when he stopped for the customary 10-minute rest period. Then Hiram got down off his horse and, with wrath written all over him, charged down upon the luckless priv ate who had shot.
 "Did you shoot at ME?" roared Hiram.
 "Yes, sir" said the Greyne, who knew that he was caught.
 Sergeant, take that sharpshooter's medal off that man. Anyone who can't shoot any straighter than that doesn't deserve to wear itw
 Needless to say, no one ever shot at Hiram again.

WANTED: A BRIGHT
 YOUNG MAN

Let us suppose that ten million men in this country used to spend an aver age of ten minutes a day in saloons. Nobody can disprove it now, anyway. And if ten million is too large num- ber-if we were far more than ninety per cent teetotal in the brave days of the swinging door-then there were enough habitues, good for two hours | instead of ten minutes each, to take the place of dozen men. Assuming the statistics sound and true, ten mill lion men at ten minutes each makes one hundred million minutes, or 190 years a day. One hundred and ninety years doesn't sound right, but you can do things like that with statistics. For instance, you can say that the A.E.F. spent two million years in France. It seemed like that at times.
 We'll, here we are with 190 years on our hands every day, and what are we doing with them? It seems like an awful lot of time to waste-more than a month gone to pot every minute. If you take three-hour nap of Sun day afternoon, you beat Rip Van Wrinkles record by more than year. If you play half an hours worth of Kelly pool, your check should mount up into tens of millions of dollars. If you spend weekend out at Eds place, you ought by rights to come back and find new generation. If you go to Europe for six months, you ought to die and go to Heaven-yes, and be an old inhabitant there.
 Who is profiting by all these 190 years? The movies? The soda foun- tain? The public library? The home circle? All of them and more. But where is the enterprising genius who will figure out that not all of these i'm stitutions together are consuming the whole 190 years-that there is bal ance of unexpended time going to waste for want of new amusement? :? Who will discover that new amuse- ment and what will it be?-Home Sector.

UNKNOWN DEAD STILL .....
 FOUND IN FRANCE

According to press dispatches from France bodies of unidentified Ameri- can soldiers continue to be found in various parts of the country over which the A. E. F. fought. A short time ago six of these bodies were un- earthed near Fresnes-en-W Woevre, east of Verdun, by relief workers. The destruction wrought by shell fire in this section was frightful and some of the soldiers who fell in the fighting just before the armistice were imme- diately covered with earth thrown up by exploding shells.
 Mass was said by the cure of the village for these six unknown Amer jeans and their bodies were turned over to the Graves Registration bu- reau for intement, with military hon. ors.-Stars and Stripes.

RED CROSS WILL AID
 IN RETURN OF DEAD

In making plans for the return of the soldier-dead from France in ac- cordance with the wish of relatives, the American Red Cross for Red Cross service to be extended through it's home service sections throughout the country. The war department, upon notifying the next of kin of the time of arrival of the bodies, will send mo- tice to the Red Cross field director at Hoboken. The field director will im- mediately transmit this information to the appropriate home service sections, that the help of the Red Cross may be available in performance of the last service for those who made the su- preme sacrifice in the world war.

"Uncle" Tom Brown, on train down in Texas last fall, got acquaint- ed with an Englishman travelling on a sightseeing trip. The latter had a good deal to say about the large size of some of the English estates. When he paused, Tom broke in:
 "I don't believe you folks in Eng land have any idea what really big estate is," he said. "I have just been visiting a friend of mine in Texas who has g farm a thousand miles square. His house occupies four acres. He met me walking around the house last week, and said: Hello, Tom; where did you come from?' Why, old man, I said, I have been staying with you for two weeks It was fact; we hadn't happened to meet before"
 Lorenzo Hubbell occasionally gets to reminiscing of the early days in Arizona and what he tells is always interesting.
 Mir. Hubbell, in the southern part of the state few decades ago, ran across a sour-looking individual, whose grouch was so apparent that he final ly asked him what was the matter.
 "By -, there's plenty the mat ter up where I live!" the man said "I'm going to Washington to see the president"
 Political troubles ?"
 "Yes, an worse than that. It's na- tional trouble, international trouble. Don't letters come from all over the world?"
 "Oh, I see. Something wrong in the postoffice department"
 "Wrong! I should say there was! You see, live at Snagg's Forks, an Bill Wilins, he's been postmaster for more'n six years. At first he done the square thing. When the letters come, they was Jumped in candle-box on the bar-room floor, an the boys had no trouble a-findin' their mail. But Bill ain't the man he used to be. He's got as unaccommodatin' as Texas steer. Fust, he moved the box to the counter, an we had to near break our arms a alvin fer the letters. Then if

the durned coyote didn't get new painted consarn with glass on the front so we couldn't git at the mail at all, an, as if that wasn't insult enough to honest men, he went to work, rigged up lot O boxes, an damme, if he didn't put locks onto 'em an go to chargin' storage. tell you I'll git that Bill Wilkins out of that thar place or die fur it-you see"
 Says the monthly bulletin of the Missouri agricultural college: "The rooster is a non-layer during the sum- mer." Here's an interesting hint for R. c. Stevenson, c. c, of the local K. P's: "The K. of P. lodge entertained the ladies at dinner last week Thursday evening. Following the repast came an excellent program of music, read ings and talk by the grand lecturer of the order. Joseph Schreiner won first prize for men for greatest fa- miliarity with women's neither gar ments, successfully covering a female "form" with shirt, chemise, brassiere, corset cover, petticoat and dress. He was stalled only by the corset. Brav- ing the titters and jeers of 200 on- lockers, he made five strong attempts, but had to give it up."-Jefferson, Wis, Union.

 x. N. Sleeves, of Williams, tells the following yarn of tenderfoot out west in the early days:
 The t. f. had wandered into one of the saloons in the early morning. The barkeeper was sweeping out the place.
 "I say" said the t. f., ''how do you get grapes away out here this season of the year?"
 "Gurrapes!" calculated the librar- ian of the ginnery.
 "Yes, those things you are picking up there,' replied the t. f., pointing to a pint measure that was brim-full of round shining globules the barkeeper had gathered from off the floor.
 "Yer durned idjeot; Them air ain't gurrapes. The boys wuz in town las night, n had lettle carcus; thet's all."
 "Well, what are those things, then?"
 "Why, you blame fool, you don know nothin'. Them there's eye-balls, boy. Thet's all; eye-balls" Superior Court Judge J. E. Jones is the man you must blame for perpe- trating this yarn:
 In the course of his charge to an Arkansas jury in murder case, the judge said:
 "In making your decision, gentle ment, please bear in mind that the de- ceased was reaching for his hip pock- ct when the prisoner shot him. The territorial statutes, you understand, gentlemen, allow one man, when he sees another make this motion, to pro- duce a gun and begin shooting. To be sure, it has been proved that the de- ceased was reaching for his handker- chief. but that makes no difference; the law does not recognize any such

At certain railhead in France, one day late in 1918, stood a big American Mogul locomotive with a real Tank en- gineer. On nearby track stood one of those "tin whistle-watch charm" teakettles of the French persuasion.

 "Yes," says Ben Doney, philoso- phically, "some men have queer nick names for their wives, and queer req sons for bestowing them. l know man who calls his wife 'Frailty,' be- cause Shakespeare says: 'Frailty, thy name is woman.' Another fellow I know calls his wife Revenge be- cause she's sweet. Then there's an- other who calls his old lady Mary Ann, because that's her name. Still another calls his better-half 'Puss,' because she knows how to scratch and make the fur fly. He also calls his mother-in-law Delay, because they're dangerous. On the other hand know man whose wife calls him Darkest Hour, because he never shows up til just before morning."
 Charlie Isham says he overheard a woman (not recently say to her spouse:
 "Bill, out of the seven nights this week, you've come home drunk five. What do you think of yourself?"
 Bill merely groaned.
 "What are you grooming about" she asked.
 "The two nights I lost"
 Picked from an old newspaper as a sample of the style of monologue us- ually indulged in by an Arizonan when he's had "jest a leetle too much:
 "My mother was an Indian squaw and my father was a half-breed, and I'm the best man that ever crossed the plains. am wild and woolly and hard to curry; never was curried be- low the knees. My name is Buckskin Bob, the terror of the Lava Beds; the only rival of Red-Handed Mike, the Bohemian bear trainer When spit, rivers flow; when l breathe real hard, cyclones tear down trees; when I go 'yip', the sun hides behind the clouds. Pm willin' to fight any ten men twice my size and lick 'em on less ground than it takes to bury 'em in. carry my coffin on my back. The sound of six-shooter is music to my ears, and peace troubles my mind"
 Gee, ain't that excitin'?
 Not all the funny things in the newspapers are in the columns de- voted to wit and humor. Real news happenings are oftener funnier than the mental paroxvsms of jokers. Fr instance, during the last week:
 A real estate man in New York won a S1 500 bet by climbing the $40 steps in the Equitable building, AT stories from boiler room to flag pole, in 8 minutes, 51 2-5 seconds. The bet was that he couldn't make the climb in 5 minutes.
 A male teacher in one of the New York city schools has to remain seat ed all the time in his classroom be- cause of the patches on his panties.
 In court, at Greensburg, Pa, while trying booze case, the cork flew out of a five-gallon jug of corn liquor. The cork went clear through the wall into an adjoining office. What a de- lightful jag fellow could get out of stuff with kick like that.
 A New York city baker was ordered by the court to take a bath. One could almost get jag out of bread made by that baker.

Jeffry Warren, young son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Warren, took a vacation this
week from his school duties and caused
Mrs. Warren a great deal of worry.
The young man decided he would not
attend school one day early in the
week and struck out for Cottonwood,
so it was learned afterwards. When
the boy could not be located Mrs. War
rem solicited the aid Of the sherifrs Of
fee and he was finally found in Cot
tonwood. When the evening passenger
train pulled in to Cottonwood Jcffry
calmly boarded it and came on home
with his father, who is the brakeman.

far away as Cottonwood is amazing, 1t
being claided that he walked the entire
distance.
