i Observations
. Even if you can't win tho race
you can at least make the man who
does beat you.
. We've never seen a landscape that
was improved a bit by the sight of
a loafer flitting on a fence. '
About the only things we really
envy the rich are those extra bath
rooms in their homes.
Women are peculiar, but only a
man would offer to buy a drink for
the bartender. i
What a happy world it would be
if onions were the only things wom
en had to weep over.

Listening to Good Purpose
, (Tit-Bits.)
There is a species of sentry groups
employed near' the trenches. They
are called "likening partols,1 and
their duties are to be always on the
alert and give timely warning of any
attempted attack. One night an of
fcer orr'the rounds inspected a lis
tening patrol stationed n an empty
farm. He asked: "Who are you?"
The reply was: "Listenin patrol,
sir."
"What are your duties?"
"We listen for ; the hen cacklin,'
and then we pinches the egg, sir."
Jt is strange, yet good, to see menN
"raised in offices on K. P. (kitchen

doing the. menial tasks about camp.
"Service" seems to be the watchword
