SHOULD BE FINISH TO THIS
Probably Some Readers Would Like to
Know Just What the Lieutenant
Colonel Said.

Private Washington Lee johnson had
just come up with the requirements
and, not never having had no luck
a-tall, went on sentry duty the first
night in the new camp. In the wee,
sma' hours along blew the lieutenant
colonel who had reputation for be-
ing one hard-bOiled guy.
Halt! Who goes dar?" beloved Pri-
vate johnson.
"Officer of the post"
There was long and painful silence
while the sentry racked his brain
for the proper thing to say. Then the
officer snarled:
"Well, why don't you say some
thing? Are you going to leave me
standing here like this all night?"
"Nossuh," answered Private John
son in relief as flash of inspiration
came. NO, indeedy, sub. At ease !'

E. w. Howe of Kansas has been
something of traveller. He made a
number of trips abroad and went
twice around the world. 1t was on
his first trip abroad that he encoun-
tered one of the sea hounds whose
chief boast is concerned in the num-
ber of times they have crossed the At
lantic. Mr.. Howe tells the incident as
his favorite story.
as this your first trip the sea
hound asked Mr.. Howe on the occa-
sion of their first meeting. Mr.. Howe
admitted that it was. well" said
the sea hound, I've crossed the Allan
tic 40 times" on the second day the
sea hound again put the question to
Mr.. Howe and again vouchsafed the
same observation. He repeated it at
frequent intervals during the trip.
1t was on the sixth day, after the
sea hound had again spoken of the
number of his crossings that Mr..
Howe said to him: by the way, have
you ever been to Omaha?" The sea
hound said he never had. well" re-

Couldn't Control sneeze.

Margaret, age three and one-half
years and confirmed early riser, had
repeatedly been warned to keep very
quiet when getting up in the morning,
in order not to disturb her older sister,
who was convalescing from recent
tonsil operation. About the third morn
ing. under the new regime of quiet
ness, as she was tip-tceing across the
bedroom to her mother, who was wait
ing in the hall, she succumbed to q
violent and uncomfortable spell of
sneezing. AS soon as the paroxysm
was over, she raised troubled blue
eyes to her mothers face and whis-
pered, sorrowfully: "MuZZar, l was
