Got His Receipt.

Humorous incidents in connection
with the war are not yet exhausted,
and Ian Hay gives this one in his
latest book, ''The Last Million" in
connection with the capture of vii
lage from the Germans. A detach-
ment Of infantry arrived at the village
only to find that a tank had beaten
them by four minutes in the race to
the market square. The usual young
officer was in charge. and when the
major came along he handed the vii
lage over to his superior officer, and
then shyly asked for something to
show. 'just to show, sir. that we were
here first" The major thought he
could fix that. and solemnly wrote out
receipt: Received from the officer
commanding British tank Bling Boy

ORGAN WAS ONCE UNDER BAN
Scottish Presbytery, Less Than a Gen.
fury Ago, Declared Its Playing
Contrary DO Law.

The organ, as an addition to the
musical service in the Presbyterian
church, was under a ban less than
hundred years ago, according to a
writer in the Manchester Guardian, re-
calling the first organ made by James
Watt. 1t was small chamber organ,
in form like a harmonium, which he
built for his own use. When he moved
to Birmingham the organ was left be-
hind and came into the possession of
the minister and session of st. An
drew's church, Glasgow, of which
Watt had been member. The instru-
ment was used for weekly choir prac-
tees, but was shrouded under a green
baize cover on Sundays, as though in
disgrace. In 1906 permission to use it
was refused by the city council. Then
one Sunday afternoon, by pre-arrange-
ment, the church attempted to use the
organ without the councils consent.
An organist from a neighboring Epis-
cOpal church was called in. He played
the organ while the last psalm was
sung. There was 50 much excitement
over the affair that a bitter contro-
versy followed. The presbytery de-
clared it was contrary to law and the
constitution of the established church,
and it was prohibited in all churches
and chapels within their bounds. Sixty
years later st. Andrews church got it's
first organ peaceably.

Had Gas Mask for Watch.

If the Germans had had a better
sense of efficiency and had spent more
time on the things that really counted,
they might have Jared better. For in
stance, many German officers wasted
hours hanging on their dugout walls
curtains and God Bless Our Home
pictures, which were not at all ap-
preciated when they were captured by
the allies.
One careful German soldier had a
gas mask made for his watch. This
energy was wasted, for the watch is
now in America.
The gas mask is simply an outside
case-one face Of it glass so that the
time will show through it-which
fastens tightly about the watch and
allows nothing to go in Or out.
Of course a watch does not need a
