His Heart In the Game,?Downhearted and weary owing to an unex? pected reverse on the football field, Bill, the enthusiastic football captain of an English village team, wended his way homeward. Before he had gone far he lay down by the wayside . to rest his tired body and soon fell into a deep slumber. Later in the evening a woman seeing his prostrate form, tried in vain to rouse him. So she procured some'water and sprinkled it on his face, following it up with a vigorous fanning with her handker enter. At last ner enuua ?vcic warded and as he slowly opened, his eyes he exclaimed disgustedly: "Just our bloomin' luck, playin' ' . against the wind and rain.' / ^ Question of Identity.?In the brave days of old before Volstead's name was listed in Who's Who, there was a certain farmer who formed the habit of celebrating .on his monthly trips to town for his supplies. One afternoon, at 'the close of one of these excursions, feeling weak and } low, he stumbled to where he had left his team, only to find that someone had unhitched the horses and driven them away. ' "Ezra Perkins," he said to himself sadly, passing a hand over his brow, "If you're Ezra Perkins you've lost b. pair of durn good horses. But," brightening, "if you ain't Ezra Perkins you've found a durn good wagon." Sounds Suspicious.?Johnson had been, one of the most diligent church workers in his town. When the war came- he enlisted and came back a wiser, if not sadder, man. ' It was the first Sunday, and Johnson had attended church from force of habit. It Had been a long and tedious sermon, but at the close, the minister, seeing his old parishioner with eyes closed as if rapped in med1 itaticm, said: * "We will close ^he service with prayer. Mr. Johnson, will you lead?" Johnson, snapped into it with a start: "The devil I will," he snorted. "I just dealt." To Make It Even.?In a front line ? ft hiQ 1 trencn, not many yurua nun*. man lines, a dusky doubhboy with a mighty grievance and two African field pieces was just starting to reach a distant point in the shortest lengtli * of lime when hauled back by his sergeant.

For the World's Title.?Patrons of a Boston restaurant noticed tacked on the wall a sheet of paper on which was printed in bold characters: "The umbrella in the stand below belongs to the champion heavyweight fighter of the world. He is coming rignt oacK. Five minutes later unbrella and paper had disappeared. In their place was another notice: "Umbrella is now in possession of the champion Marathon runner of the world. He is not coming back." Chicken-Hearted.?A battery of big guns had just sent its message of destruction into k company of Germans at St. Mihiel, and where the debris had settled all to be observed were a few scraps of gray cloth scattered about. "Wow," ejaculted the supply officer, "but there sure are a lot of dead Jerries over there." "I wouldn't go that far," replied the conservative medical major, suspiciously like all of his ilk. "But if they were my men and came tdvme, I admit I might mark them light duty." Might as Well.?Even Abe Lincoln. 4, nntoi-V t'nr his beautv. lllUUgii ? had some pride in his appearance. One day, the story Is told, while going down the street, he met a man who looked him over closely and drew a gun on him.

Some Liar.?"Yes," he bragged: "T once invented a rubber pneumatic suit for men working at great heights." "And was it successful?" asked an unsuspecting one. "1 should say it was." he replied. "D'you know the first workman who fell out of a building wearing one bounced so hard and long that we had to throw buscuits to him to keep him alive."
