Trenches Not So Bad!
no was ji small boy, about six years
>U1, and like mos^ youngsters <!>f his
ign, was moro or loss opposed to hav
*ig bis face washed any oftener than*
v.jus necessary. During the course of
one of these operations he looked at
Ids father and asked:
"Do the soldiers in the trenches get
vacations?"
"Not while they are fighting," an
swered the father.
"I guess they don't have time for va
cations," mused the boy, "I'll bet they
don't even have time to wash their
hands and face."
"I suppose that le right," replied the
father, after which there was a long
pause, during which the washing oper
ations were continued.
At last the Irksome task WAs com
pleted. The boy heaved a sigh of re
lief, and as he left the bathroom his
father heard hlra say, "Gee, t wish I
was a soldier fighting In the trenches."
Net for Publication.
Here Is one story that H. Bl Bar
nard, the state food administrator,
should not overlook. Ed Lane, one of
the promlnelft cltlsens of Colfax, Clin
ton county, became worried several
nights ago because he couldp't
sleep, and thinking that perhaps a
salt water bath might restore Ms
restful slumbers, be got up and pro
ceeded to experiment with his
theory. The next day bis clothing
stuck so tight to his body that he
had to have assistance from his wife
to get it off,, and when she inquired
as to the rfeason, he Infomed her
that he had taken a salt-wa'er bath
the night before. But Mrs. Lane then
realized where her sugar had gone,
and she proved to her husbrnd thnt
he had got the granulated sugar
Instead of the salt The result was
painless, but Lane doesn't tHnk that
It will do to have Mr. Iloover or Mr.
Barnard find out he took hi? bath In
sugar water. ? Indianapolis Nows.

Ion that before leaving the ground all

occasions and gave way on ten, of the

HIS FUME MERITED
Appreciation of "Bob" Burdette
Grows With the Years.
Hit Brand of Delicious Humoi', Never
Malicious, Had a Spontaneity
That Fixed It In Mem
wry of Hearera.
Thr late Robert J. Burdette, better
known the lpngth and breadth of the
land as "Bob" Burdette, and chiefly
famous because of hla huiuoroua lec
ture **The lllse and Pall of the Mus
tache*** which he used on the lyceutn
platform for nearly 80 years, had a
spontaneity which was truly remark
able.
Sudden flashes of wit and humor
cropped out constantly In his conver
sation. Like other great American ha
inoriMts, some of thfe beat things that
he said fell upon the eara of a hand
ful of friends and never found their
way Into print *
In tha afternoon of llfo he sunned
himself on the porch at "Bventlde,"
his restful home at CUftton-^y-the-Sea.
It'waa from there that he penned these
lines to an Intimate friend:
"Here I am In dry dock, waiting for
the Great Builder to give me a gen
eral overhauling. My boilers appear
to be burned out. and I need new
grates In my firebox. Quess the old
engine Is about played out, but maybe
we can tltiker It up so that It will
make a few more trips. Seems as
though my switchboard had been
struck by lightning. I have my good
days and my bad days, but I lost count
of them some time ago, and now I
can't tell them apart." ' V '
tils Compliments were as graceful
as tbo'- were pretty. One day he over
heard a pjirty of young matrons dis
cussing dross goods. ?
"I don't ltk$ the new figured pat'
tern", Doctor Burdette," cxelaimed
ono of the young women. "Do you?"
"It might have been tlie part of wis
dom for the humorist to' have agreed
with her, hut hy so doing he.mlgliL
have disagreed with her companions,
so he sidestepped the issue, and paid
Ihe lady a delieiously subtle compli
ment by replying!.
"Oh, I don't know. I should con
sider them very good if they all' con
tained as pretty a figure as the one In
the gown that you are wearing."

;A good story Is going the round?
concerning Walter Bayes, whose fa
mous academy picture, "The Under
world," has been purchnsed by the
committee of the Imperial war mu
seum.
Mr. Bayes has always been a verj
severe critic of his own pictures, and
one day, being dissatisfied with a large
painting he had completed, he gave
the canvas to the charwoman to take
nway with her, telling her she could
do what she liked with It.
The woman examined It closely,
bending It this way and that -and
thumping it all over with evidently
Increasing satisfaction. o
"Thanks, Mr. Bayes, ** she said al
last. "Thanks very much. Thlsll
do fine for me front parlor. It*s much
better than them common oilcloths
what let the water through; this Is a
good, strong one, with plenty of paint
