IN BONDS OF COMRADESHIP Strong Unity Inevitable Among Those Who Battled the Savage Hun ? Side by Side. Two men were hobbling along the Strand, London, the other day. Both depended upon stout ash sticks to help them on- their way. They were com ing from, opposite directions, and when they drew level, although neither had seen the' other' before, they involun tarily^ nodded and grinned and ex changed a "Cheerio." You can witness similar incidents on any of London's boulevards, writes "Young Sub." The great unofficial Brotherhood of the Hobble hastio rule beyond that of camaraderie; the only qualification for membership is the possession of a hobble caused by mili tary service. "I am convinced that everyone will realize the vital Importance of con tinuing in peace that great comrade ship which has enabled us to win the war," says Sir Douglas Haig. There are associations and clubs and federa tions of all sorts whose objects are to bind together the men who have served their country. But the biggest of all ls the one that has no organizing secretary, no central offices and no propaganda. It simply exists in the hearts of the men who have suffered In the fight for freedom and justice. HAIL "PUNKIN," KING OF PIES Who That Has Ever Tasted the Real Article Can Forget the Thrill of the First Mouthful? Ton can't spell punkin pie with an "ra" and a "p." Pumpkin pie is the kind one gets In restaurants, flavored with cloves and allspice. "Punkin" pi& has cinnamon and ginger in it, and sometimes a hint of an unmention able beady fluid about which one would not dare ask mother. And of all the smacking, ambrosial delicacies ?italogued under the genus "pie" the best is .punkin." : One grows hungry, at the thought of "punkin" pie-the crisp, crinkly ernst; the thick, rich, pungent filling, with the dust of cinnamon tarnishing Its tawny top; the creamy, dreamy, velvety, far away taste ns one's mouth closes on its prize. Some appetizing joys there are, but none that exceeds capturing a piece of "punkin" pie, getting it into one's hands, contrary to all social usage, biting into It until one almost mires up to one's uose, until one can scarce see over the top of the upstand ing crust, and beginning the unequaled delight of devouring the first mouth ful. To tas? it is to love it. Love but it, and love forever.-Milwaukee Herald. The Vicar's Slip. An exceedingly amiable widow came to live at Little Rudcomb. The vicar, a bachelor, regarded her with fear and trembling; she was so very obvious ly after him- He cured her, though, one day by making a fortunate slip. The dear lady met him iu the village, and stopped him. She talked of this, that, and tTie oth er, and at last worked up to the point where she could talk about herself. "It ls very lonely for me now," she said. "I have always been used to having a man about the house, and I can't get hsod to the quietness." She turned and gazed away to the distant hills, while her underlip trem bled piteously. The vicar muttered the strongest word In his vocabulary, and then said hastily : "Oh, don't worry, my dear Indy don't Worry ! You know the wind is always tempered to the lorn shani." Answers, London. Lest You Don't Know. We have been informed on good au thority that a dental parlor is also a drawing room and sitting room. When the. people fill the room the dentist fills their teeth. He fills their teeth wirb gold and they fill his hand with sil ver. They grind their teeth with fear and anxiety. He grinds their teeth with a burr and an emery wheel. They shriek for assistance and he calls for assistants. He gives 'em gas and then charges 'em for it. They ask him to give them credit fo? the work he does himself. He calls the teeth hollow when it's the owner of them who does the hollowing. And so on, ad infinitum. More may be said, but we shall save it for another tim?.-Indianapolis Star. Horrors of Chinese Outlawry. The city of Anlu, on the Han river, was the scene of a horrible outrage by a few disbanded Chinese sol diers on January 2, according to the Central China Post.

Tires "are so important a part of the equipment of an automobile, that the experienced motorist does not care to lose his money or his temper making experiments. He buys tires that have proved their worth after years of testing, leaving it to others to shoulder the expense of trying out the novelties that come and go. It is in this fact that the United States Tire Company finds the .ex planation for its steadily mounting sales among those who want good tires. Present day efficiency demands that the automobile owner keep a careful account of all his costs and that he know the exact performance of each tire. It is among this class of buyers that the United States Tire Company finds its best customers. Many large corporations, which have reduced their tire buying to a science and place their orders where they get the most service for the money, use UNITED STATES tires exclusively. ur Now E MONEY - d County : , to pay $15 per in less than 30 letter come and i't want to buy lad better buy sise.
