Keen-eyed soldiers, as the story new
goes, were surprised to discover one |
day that some of the cards were
marked by small knife point indenta-
tions on the border of the back. The
marking was not accidental.
Scrutiny showed that the high cards |
—eight spot up to ace—were carefully
marked. The marks were so faint as
to be almost imperceptible, but a per-
son familiar with them could read the
backs.
Immediately there was a search for
the card marker, for the soldiers may |
gamble a bit now and then—officially
they don’t, but actually they—well,
it’s nobody’s business if one wounded
buck private wishes to wager another
wounded buck private that his five
cards beat t'other chap’s five cards.
Anyhow, if somebody was marking
cards in the hospital the boys
wished to talk to him. But investiga-
tion revealed—and this is where the
hospital soldiers were shocked—that
whatever marking was done took
place before the cards arrived at the |
hospital. Not all decks were marked,
only a deck now and then.
The inference seems to be that
somebody in Washington club life,
woman's club life at that, is gracious-
ly giving the wounded soldiers once-
used card decks which have somehow
been knife-pointed. The war veterans
say that they have been shell shocked
and otherwise startled, but they are
vastly amazed at a phase of society
life in Washington.
Probably First Moving Pictures.
America is not the original home of
the moving picture. This assumption
is disproved by an apparatus of an-
cient Siamese civilization recently re-
discovered. The apparatus consists of
a number of ancient movie machines
unearthed at the National museum in
New York, where they had been hid-
den away in boxes since their pre-
sentation to this country by the king
of Siam in 1875.
The cinematic art as practiced hun-
dreds of years ago in Siam was car-
ried on as follows: The proper nums-
ber of figures. designed from leather
by hand. were mounted on rods and
projected on the screen by the hand of
the operator. The screen was a white
cloth hung between the audience and
the light. The shadows were manip-
ulated by the operator’s pushing the
manikins along in a trough. As
action advanced through climax and
anti-climax, the operator recited in a
singsong voice five-reel dramas of the
love and wrongs of the kings and
queens represented.
High Living.
He was an Englishman, and it was
his first introduction to the American
Sunday-night supper. with all sorts of
good things on the table at the same
time. With an air of bewilderment he
helped himself to everything that was
passed him and then valiantly attack-
ed his loaded plate. Picking up a fish
ball in his fingers, he applied a gen-
erous smear of honey to it and bit into
the new combination. A look of hor-
ror overspread his features, and he
turned to his neighbor and put a warn-
ing hand on his arm.
“] say, steady on old chap!” he
whispered, after a copious drink of
water, “there’s something dead in
this‘'bun! Don’t try it, whatever you
do !”—Youth’s Companion.

“But, lady, you don’t understand—"
“Oh, yes, I do understand. I want
birdseed that has a glaze on it—the
kind that shows it is fresh by its
bright color. I don't want this gritty
stuff. I know what I'm talking about.

“How much did you want, lady?”
“Oh, about a nickel’s worth.”
And the poor, unhappy prescription-
eers fell in a faint.—Indianapolis

DAYS OF CHIVALRY ARE GONE
This Hustling Age Seems to Have Lit.
tle Time for the Merest Ele-
mentary Courtesy.
It was the hottest and most uncom-
fortable day of the summer and the
car was even more crowded than usual,
says the Indianapolis News. Two
young women who had done their full
share of work for eight long hours,
managed to squeeze into the car with
the rest of the passengers. Of course
all the seats were taken. Even a sug:
gestion that some one offer the girls
a seat was far from their minds. They
stood in the aisle, as good-naturedly
as they had done nearly every day in
months past. One can imagine their
surprise when an elderly man rose to
proffer one of the girls a seat.
“Take my seat, lady,” he said. “you
look lots more tired than I”
Gratefully, one of the girls started
for the seat. A tall broad-shouldered
man was just ahead of her.
“Naw, yuh don’t.” he snarled. *I1
guess I'm nearer the seat than you
are,” and he started to sit down.
“Well, T guess if you are going to
take the seat 1 may as well keep it
until I am ready to get off,” the first
man said, and with that he sat down
again. ~ioa -
Two blocks later he got off the car,
the tall broad-shouldered man rushed
to the seat, and the young women held
on to the straps.
More Than Her Mouth.
Although the groundhogs at the
“700” did their best to keep the spring
day away from that fine park and
playground for the people, time will
bring spring within a few weeks now,
at the worst. Time has a way of
making things move.
Although crowds at the National
Zoological park have fallen off ma-
terially during these cold winter Sun-
days, nevertheless many visit the park
Much attention is given
the animals kept indoors, naturally.
Thus the mother hippopotamus has
her admirers. Recently two small
boys, that good sort that shy rocks
at cats and sparrows, were standing
in front of the hippopotamus cage,
watching Mrs. Hippo eat hay.
“Look at ‘'r open ’er mouth!” said
one boy, lost in admiration,
“Mouth nothin’!” exclaimed the oth-
er, “That ain’t ’er mouth—it’s ‘er
whole head she’s openin’!”—Washing-
ton Star.
Tomb Was Tramp’s Home.
A tramp who had solved the present
day problem of where to live by taking
up his abode in one of the old Roman
tombs at Arles, on the Rhone, gave two
Dutch tourists the fright of their
lives.
They had gone out to see the remains
by moonlight, when suddenly out of a
tomb emerged a human form, which
the moon caused to appear exceedingly
ghostlike. The tourists fled at top
speed for the town, declaring that they
had seen a resurrection. The “ghost”
was interrogated by the police and
will be prosecuted for the French
equivalent of wandering without vis-
ible means of subsistence.—From the
Continental Edition of the London
Daily Mail.
Captain Couldn't Answer.
Master Charles Wymond Potter ac-
companied his grandfather, Capt,
Charles A. Wymond, to the river at
Evansville the other day to see that
the elevator, boats, barges and coal
were all right.
“Grandfather,” remarked Charles,
“why do they call dirt mud when it’s
wet, and dust when it is dry?”
No reply from grandfather, who is
still thinking about the answer.—In-
dianapolis News.
Thoroughly Selfish.
“Do you know what I'd like?” said
the first road hog.
“No, what would you like?” said the
second porcine person.
“I'd like to have a motorcar so big
there wouldn't be room on the broad-
est boulevard for anything to pass me
but a breeze.”—Birmingham Age-Her-
ald.
barrel end completely.
The common pit storage where the
apples are placed in a trench ona
good bed of straw, and earth mound-
ed over them is also an excellent way
to store apples. But for ordinary
home consumption the barrel method
is perhaps more satisfactory as it will
permit opening several times during
the winter to obtain fresh supplies.
Circular 74, issued free by the agricul-
tural extension department of The
Pennsylvania State College school of
agriculture, tells how to go about pre-
paring all kinds of home storage for
fruits.
Farmers and growers generally are
advised by Dr. S. W. Fletcher, head
of the State College horticultural de-
partrient, to store apples by the pit
method if no other storage is availa-
ble.
