WHAT IT IS AND IS NOT.
A Writer of the 37th Division Tells
of Dugouts.
Dugouts are not dug out. They artdug
in. The only ones who ever dug
out of a dugout were the Germans,
who dug out as soon as they saw the
37th Division stepping "Over the
Top." Dugouts remind one of home
because they are so different. To
enter a dugout one must step forward
in the dark and fall gracefully down
i the steps. A candle, several large
families of rats, water seeping
through the roof and a gas-alarm
bell are the usual furnishings of the
modern dugout.
Dugouts must be pumped out every
day for tear of drowning the soldiers
who are in them if the water is
allowed to stand. Now that the wrar
is over there are many thousand dugouts
for rent in France and Belgium.
But like the hole in the dugout, no
i one wants them. <
All cugouts smell like fertilizer ;
factories. Some are deeper than oth- i
ers. The deeper the better. It is :
impossible to take one home for a
souvenir. Your girl will ask for one ]
anyway, but don't let that worry you.
Give her a picture of yourself with (
your mouth open. She won't know (
the difference. ]
. Dugouts are usually inhabited by ,
officers. They are accustomed to 1
them. There is no money in build- j
ing dugouts, but they are worth a j
million dollars when you need em. i
rinck oatrh hell and pneumonia ;
in any dugout. You catch the former j
first and the latter afterward.?La- \

Bryan's Eloquence.
;|fer?.; __
jjf|?f. , William Jennings Bryan was addressing
a political meeting in Iowa ,
on the occasion when, it is said, he
v. fairly carried away his audience by
jthe power of his oratory. Among
: ' those most impressed by the Nebras- ]
*" Sal fe^p^effort was a man known to be j
very deaf, but who nevertheless seem- ]
ed to be listening with breathless at- ]
* tention to Bryan, and who apparent- ]
i caught .every word that fell from \
RpRe inker's lips. ' i
Finally, when a particularly fervid \
passage had been delivered by the j
man from Nebraska, with the effect ]
of eliciting a storm of applause from ?
V. the audience, the deaf man, as if he
could contain himself no longer yell- 1
ed in the ear of the man next to him: j
"Who is that speakin'?" ]
"William Jennings Bryan!" shout- i
is ed the man . addressed. <
"Who?" roared the deaf man, still i
? / louder. <
& "William Jennings Bryan, of Ne- ]
^ hraska!" <
X * "Well, well!" exclaimed the deaf
IgjE* man, excitedly. i
"It don't make no difference, after <
flR an. I can't make out a word he or ]
^rou are sayin'; but good gracious, {
^ c don't he do the motions splendid!" (

"My father likes to tell the story ]
of a farmer who met another farmer, <
both of them driving in a narrow <
country road in the deep snow of win- <
ter. The track was only broken in
the center of the road, so that turning *
out was difficult. When the two met 1
the farmer said, with a blustering
manner: "If you don't turn out for
me I'll do to you what I did to the
last man I met who wouldn't turn
. out for me.''
"Much alarmed the second farmer J
promptly pulled out in the deep snow
to let the belligerent neighbor pass. ?
When he was back in the road again
he turned and said to the first farmer:
'Tell me, neighbor, what did you
do to the man who wouldn't turn out
for you?"
" T turned out for him,' replied the
hot headed farmer."
GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH IN GAS.

5"'' " ;
Dirt Highways, Test Shows.
That good roads cut the cost of
gasoline more than 50 per cent, is
stated by "Freight Transportation
Digest." A loaded two ton truck
was used in a test and in running
100 miles on an earth road consumed
17.3 gallons of gasoline, making an
average of 5.78 miles a gallon. The
cost figured at 25 cents a gallon was
$4.33. The same truck was used on
a concrete road and traveled the
same distance on 8.49 gallons of
gasoline. The cost in tlr's case,,
figured on the same basis, was $2.12.
The net savings in cost of gasoline
on the improved highway was therefore
$2.21 or more than 100 per
cent.

MOHAMMEDANS OBSERVE LENT.
Fast of Ramadan is Followed by
Feast of lieiram.
As the Mohammedan year is a
lunar one, the months rotate through
the different seasons, and the fast
of Ramadan becomes a severe affliction
upon the faithful when the
month happens to fall in the hot
days of summer. The fast is followed
by the feast of Beiram, which
was established by Mohammed, who
seems to have been guided by the
Christian institution of Lent, which
in the early church varied from four
to six weeks. On this day every
family of the true believers offers
a sheep to God, and the streets of
the cities are filled with men carrvvictims
nri their
lli.?2 llic U^/Ol/iuvu * w..
backs.
Among theN Arabs the festival begins
at 4 o'clock in the morning,
when great crowds collect at the residence
of the nearest pasha or bey,
awaiting his appearance in the court
of the palace. At 5 o'clock his highness
enters, accompanied by members
of his family and his staff; cannon
are fired, the peculiar bands of
the East play suitable airs and the
chief captain announces that the hour
of sacrifice has arrived, and that his
highness, after prayer, will be present
at this act. All then adjourn to
the mosque, and when the sacrifice
is over the pasha reenters the court
and those of high rank kiss his
hand; the inferiors slightly touching
it with their lips. This occupies
abotu an hour, when all retire to
take coffee, the captain thanking the
crowd for their presence as a mark
of attachment to their ruler.

ire thefr net work of canals which
prevail through all the valleys. The
longest is the one tapping the Gila
river, and which supplied with water
the ancient city, now marked with
the one standing building. This is
the Casa Grande, about which so
much has been written, and which
lias excited much interest among
irchaeologists in the last ten years.
The volume of water taken out by
this canal must have been immense
tor it supported millions of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
svith drifting sand, but its course is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Maricopa canal made use of the
Did Aztec ditch, and today .water
runs over its pebbly bottom just as it
lid 2,000 or 3,000 years ago.
For miles and miles around
mounds tell the tale of houses destroyed
by the ravages of time. Phoenix
was built on the ruins of this
mcient city, and there relics frejuently
are found of this ancient
livilization.
Hundreds Become HI, '
Oklahoma City, Jan. 11.?Five
hundred of the 2,000 inhabitants of
Shiatook, Tulsa county, are seriously
ill of a strange malady which baffles
physicians, according to reports to
tfie state health department.
Several deaths have occurred. In
ihe opinion of one of the physicians
here the disease is a mild form of
pholera. It begins with an attack
nf dysentery and causes a losing of
iveight, according to the report.
The state health department will
>end three physicians and ten inspectors

Whipping.
Little Willie, aged , six years, was
just recovering from a sound thrashing.
"Mamma, did your mamma whip
Fou when you were little?"
. "Yes, my son."
"And did her mimma whip her
when she was little?"
"Yes."
Some time later: "And did her
mamma whip her when she was little?"
"Yes, but why do you ask?"
"Well, who started the darn thing
anyway?"
His Explanation.
An ambitious colored man had quit
his job and was being granted a new
one with another concern, when his
employer asked him if he could be
ready to commence work in two
weeks. He replied: "I fear dat it
would be difficult for me to be ready
in two weeks, but I could be ready in
one week shore."
"How's that?" asked his employer,
"Well, in one week I can finish de
garden work," was his answer, "but ii
I is home then one week more de
missus would be rushin' me into de
middle of house cleanin'."
