You're one of these blamed pacifists, that’s what you are!””— Philadelphia Public Ledger. Esthetic—Two fair munition-workers were discussing their personal affairs. “Got a chap yet, Liz?” inquired one. “Yes; and he's a regular toff. He's manager at—"" “You don’t say so! he’s real refined.”” “Rather!

Why, they tell me They Only Fall Once—As the stage coach careened toward the edge of the cliff the timid tourist gazed anxiously down at the brawling stream 300 feet below. “Do people fall over this precipice often?” she asked. The driver clucked to his horses. ‘No, madam,” he returned placidly, “never but once.” —Chicago Herald. A Promising Recruit—The officer of the day, during his tour of duty, paused to question a sentry who was a new recruit. “If you should sce an armed party ap- proaching, what would you do?” asked the officer. Purn out the guard, sir. Very well.

Emblems If money talks, as sages say, And riches are equipped with wings, The parrot might become some day The emblem of financial kings. —Washington Star. But money kings are dumb we know— This fact is pat in street and cloister; an emblem they must show, Why not the ever silent oyster? —Yonkers Statesman. As money makes the mare go, And influence lies in the tip; An emblem of the men of dough Might fittingly be made a whip. —Youngstown's Telegram.

Joan Still Leads the Way Today—in the noise of the charge, the soldiers of France still are led by the spirit of Joan of Arc. Her shining face is seen before them pointing the way to victory across the gaping shell holes and through the driving hail of fire. The French—the English—swear that they have seen her—their own incomparable Joan of Arc. And that Joan leads | them always to victory. To us in this country Joan is the greatest woman that ever lived. But to France she is the very life, the very spirit of the nation. To understand the France of to-day you must know Joan of Arc and her glorious story. Never in the history of the world has there been such another. And through all the centuries, no one told her story in all its majesty and simplicity until it was told by an American— MARK TWAIN 25 VOLUMES ROMANCE—HISTORY—BOY STORIES—SHORT STORIES—ESSAYS so wonderful.
