ONE REASON FOR FAILING

An artist was showing a young woman over his studio. After she had critically examined all the pictures she remarked:
 "I notice several sunsets among your works, but not a single sunrise How's that"
 The artist, who was rather noted for his Bohemian habits, blushed a little at the question, and then stam- mered:
 "You see, it's this way. To tell the truth, the reason I've never painted sunrise is because I'm never up at that time"

Pvt. s. A. Alvidge 1496333, Sixth Ammunition Train, edged into Paris one morning in October.
 His appearance was against him. Unwashed, unshaved, impressed and un-everything else, it was such that the newest commissioned lieutenant freshly arrived from the states, not to speak of grisly M. P.'s, would have spotted him instantly for an A. w. O. l.. Nine of the latest calendar days of his life had just been spent in eluding brown belts, brass spurs and red bras sards.
 His ambition that morning as he looked back at the Porte Maillot was to paltake of the beauty, the joy, the love and the rum of that great city. Of a sudden there hove into sight his Ambition. Slender, flashing eyes, rosy lips. She glanced at him, he gazed at her. She paused, his heart pounded. Here was the life, the mer- riment, the good wine and everything worth while; back there was the mud filth. hard work and poor praise. A shadow halted beside him. He turned I to look into the face of his Destiny, a hammer-chinned, bull-eyed M. P. swinging telegraph pole in his hand Pvt Alvidge paled. The paleness crept all over his face, into his mouth and nostrils, down his gullet, chilling his heart.
 Slowly and deliberately the NJ. P turned and walked away.

It was not without much discussion and plenty of opposi- tion that the squad had decided to turn the find over to the lieutenant but they knew his reputation back in the small villages of the training area and they knew that he would find them out if they did not bring the stuff te his headquarters.
 The lieutenant was overjoyed wher the discovery was made known to him The morning was cold and damp ant they, in addition to being without food could have no fires. He assembled hi. corporals to distribute the wine.
