The re ply came back: ''near , We are I mighty glad you are coming down, but please brin your sugar with you. - ' It was a hot July day in the Grande Rondo volley. On a well regulated farm the -work was proceeding very well, when the lady of the house asked the man in charge of the work if he would "pole the beans." : Two hours w later she visited tne garden and round all the bean stalks Dulled ud and care fully laid in a pile. "For g.odness sake," remarked the lady, "what in the world have you done?", Tho man looked' at, his boss and meekly said, 'You said to pull the beans and I have .pulled every one I could find." . In Sweden the words "pole" and "pull" sound very much aliko.

Of course Mrs. Murphy never suspected that Mr. Corbett was the aggressor, and upon reaching the Red Cross shop the gallantry of Corbett asserted itself. "Let me put thus 3 goods inside," Tie said, and with every armful he would stop and remark, 'but,- Mrs. Murphy, no one had the nerve, to talk to you like that over the phone," whereupon a review of more of the conversation would fol low, unl finally Corbett remarked, ''Mrs. Murphy, we ha(e been friends a long time, and if you-will only tell nib who you think this villian is that has been calling you over the phone, I am here to" throw off my coat and give him a ticking." For several days the secret was kept, but, like all good things, it finally began to leak, and now whenever Mr, Corbett meets the Red Cross, lady it is up to him to or der the ice cream soda before he lifts his hat and exchanges greetings.: -' Quick Delivery ' ' Phone Main 40 - .

'.' " The greatest joke that has becn- perpetrutod on any department of the Red. Cross was that handed out by Jim Corbett to Mrs. Murphy. It is so good that only recently did thi) public learn of it. On the evening before La Grande's great July 4th celebra tion, Mr.' Corbett saw considerable merchandise deposited at the door of tho Red Cross shop, which Mrs. Mur phy is running. ' Stepping to the tole nhono. Mr'. Corbett called Mrs. Mur phy, without' giving his name, and ordered her to remove the "junk" from There is a lot of fun among the boys over in France, and occasionally a let ter gets by the censor ' that fairly bristhes with wit and shows just what a good time a bunch of the best boys on earth have. Not long ago a letter came to a La Grande daddy of one of the Hospital Unit, whibh ran some thing like this:' "The booze is a dead number and it is only very rarely that oven the smell of. a cork is possible. I did a little, slippery sliding around tne other, night,-nowever, and man aged to get lrito a French saloon. . I ,tried the much-talkcd-of- wine, and say, there is nothing to it. That near beer dope at home has it skinned. Then I tried some of their beer, and they do not know the game of making beor at. all in Franco. . Finally the French 'bar-keep looked at me and said, 'I has ze one bot-tel of ze Amer ican whiskey,' and sure enough, he duggedi down under the bar and pro duced a bottle of bonded American whiskey. Ho' invited me to take a drink, d remembered, dad, just how you stand when you drink out of a bottle, and I spread my toes and took a big snort of that whiskey;' all the time thinking of America and her superiority in everything on earth, even to tho making of a drink imitable for a man." v 1 , i One look at Herman Sicgrist's wood pile would drive, all the Weary Willies to the harvest fields.
