SOME NIGHT SHIRT TALES
Epidemic of Mems Lost Garments
Leads to Suspicion They Were
Left in Sleepers on Purpose.

There has been an epidemic of lost
night shirts in the Detroit district re-
Gently.
The first tale of shirt involves an
elderly woman who called at the Of
6ce and was anxious for the return of
a night shirt which she said her son
had left on a pullman. 1t should be
easy to discover, said she, as it was
made Of heavy blue and white fanel-
cite. 1t was located and WREN the
clerk was wrapping IT up she remarked,
with grim look, that she felt sure
her son, who had failed to appreciate
the article-her gift, too-had left 1t
on the car on purpose, but-"as long
as Toms home, he's going to wear it."
Judging from the tone In which she
delivered this ultimatum, Tom will
wear 1t until he takes another trip and
manages to lose 1t on another pull
man car-far, far from home.
A passenger bereft of his night at
tire wrote in a plaintive plea for its
return, saying, 1.-THE weather is cold
and the tails Of the shirt are long, so
please rush by return mail" Unless
he has been careless once more he has
leg comfort at night, for the shirt was
returned Immediately.
A travelling man who reported the
loss of his night shirt said somewhat
pathetically that 1t was the only one
he had with him, he had to have 1t
because he didn't dare to go home
without 1t and 1t ought to be easy to
find because 1t was red flannel. No
ticing the look Of incredu1ity on the
face Of the lost property clerk he ex-
planned that he was a forgetful cuss,
that he was always leaving night
shirts on the train, and that his fru-
gal and ingenious wife had decided
that to break him Of hls habit he
should have shirts that even a blind
man could not overlook, so she built
him one Of red fiannel-and he had
lost 1t on the. first trip.-Pnllman

SOWING OF DRAGONS TEETH
According to Greek Myth Thsbes Was
Built by Soldiers Who Came
From the Ground.

Some strange things are contained
In the myths. One Of them is the
Greek story Of the sowing Of the
dragons teeth.
At the bidding of the oracle of
Apollo, Cadmus set out with a party
Of retainers to found the city of
Thebes. The sacred serpent of Mars
captured the retalners, killed them and
Itself was killed by Cadmus.
A voice instructed Cadmus to re-
move the monsters teeth and SOW
them in a field. AS he completed this
task points of spears broke through
the clod, then helmets, then armor-
clad bodies Of men, until host of war
riors stood in the field.
"Meddle not with our civil war"
said one of tire warriors as Cadmus
advanced to meet what he thought was
new array of enemies.
Thereupon the warriors began to
fight among themselves until all ex-
cept five were killed. These five Joined
Cadmus and helped him to build
Thebes.-London Answers.

Form of Punishment In 1918.

The custom of Furnishing culprlt
by forcing him to run the gauntlet"
is said to have originated In the Thir-
ty Years war (161S-4S), and to have
been adopted by European armies as
a mode Of punishment. The culprit,
stripped to the waist, was obliged to
run repeatedly between two lines Of
soldiers facing each other. Each
soldier struck at him with a short
stick or switch.
The word gauntlet" as here used,
not the meaning usually given it.
that of an iron glove--is simply a cor
ruptlon of gantlope or gatlope, and is
derived from the Swedish gatlopp,
meaning running down lane"
Some etymologlsts. however, derive
the word from the German gassen-
laufen, which means running the
lane" and others from the Dutch
gangloppen. having the same mean
