That Tout Weather.
There are places in the world where
the weather has been better the last
few weeks than in the Amerlcau sec­
tor northwest of Toul, but the pre­
vailing dampness never even tarinshes

The colonel of a regiment, muklng
a night tour of the trenches, was chal­
lenged by a sentry who had been stand­
ing at his post for two hours m a
driving rain.
“Who's there?” said the sentry.
“Friend !” replied his colonel.
“Welcome to our mist.” said the sen­
try. And the most serious thins the
colonel did was to laugh.—From Stars
