that is the favorite insult, amounting had not made him pull the trigger in
to "fighting words," now in use in voluntarily. He denies that he is in
London. The civilian hasn't much sane. He has appealed to the cour9
chance of a come-back except with his to release him.
Cats so if he retorts at all it is us-
ut.lly with his right.
The waiter with a little gold or
silver strips on his sleeve, meaning i
that he has been shot or gassed, j
throws a sneering glance at the civil
ian diner. The soup is cold and the '
d'lier says so,
"Ti, nn in'l n.il.l i.. th ,,rmv"
... , v ..,
the waiter's come-back
"Why i
aren't you there?"
A lh rnnscrint.inn nrt. exemnts no
body without reason, the civilian has!
good legal right to be a civilian,
But he can't go into details about his
tribunal hearing so he scrapes the
waiter's head with a ketchup-bottle.
But the civilian usually gets the
worst of it regardless of whether he
succeeds in punishing his tormentor.
Public opinion
just naturally drifts '
against him.
It is the same on the street if he ac-
cidently bumps another pedestrian.
He may apologize but if resentment
sn't appeased the injured party reels
off the crowning insult.
Americans generally escape because
their "accent" excludes them from
English armv consideration. But
once in a while someone makes a mis
tlike as a bus conductor did with a
New York chauffeur.
"Why aren't you in the arm.?'- de
manded the conny, after a trivial
argument.
The New Yorker s reply was made
tc order.
"Sa-ay, listen, Cockney," he said
contemptuously, "my a-rmy has licked
your's twice and if they have to do it
again I'll be with 'em."
A Bridge of Ants.
A species of mils which spin silk is
common In hot countries. The ants
nest in trees, binding the leaves to
gether to make their nests. The silk
used for this purpose Is not secreted
by tlio adult lints, Inn by the larvae.
In order to attach the silken threads
and draw the leaves together the ants
must, carry the Inrvne about from leaf
to leaf. When two distuiit. leaves are
to be drawn together a remarkable
method Is employed. Five or six nuts
form a chain bridging the gap between
the leaves, each gripping the wnist of
another In Its mandibles. A number of
such chains will co operate Ir. bringing
two leaves together.

THE WHAT-yOUMA.y
COLUMft
Legs.
Legs are convenient attachmonis
used by human beings to climbing
street cars, elevators, automobiles and
other modes of transportation. At
other times we just let them danglo
from our waistlines.
Legs originally were designed in
pairs, for human beings to get around
on. But we've out grown them. The
only really useful leg today is the
leg of ham or the leg of mutton.
Legs still constitute the only real
excuse for burlesque shows, of course,
and they're an aid in kicking cats and
unweclome suitors. But ns things to
walk on, we keep them only for emor-
This applies only to human beings,
guncies.
With horses, cows, pigs and like ani
mals it's different. They still have
use for a leg on each corner.
There is only one valid argument
in favor of legs. If wo didn't have
I them, what would wo do without feet ?
