in his drunken way. "But she takes It
too serious. She oughtn't tell them 'bout
what's going to happen to bad people.
Tell 'em what a good time they can have

Hs returned to the army post, but
found the doors locked. Then he went
after his friend, Johnson, who waa also

hurried him to the post.
"Ws're going to Join ths army," ha

"Officers of the army saw them from
a window above. Thsy remained on their
knees In the alley for an hour or so ad
vising each other haw to "square them
selves." Next day they wean sober and applied
for membership. They were sdmltted,
and It soon bcame known through the

friend had "mixed wld the army guys."
When thsy took the oath of allegiance
the place was packed with the curious.
