HERE'S A GEMIS
We recently overheard a story
of Canadian genius that Is well
| worth repeating. A German enip
! er had been picking off several men
in * Canadian trench at night, and
no one seemed to be able to locate
tie man. A young fellow from
Vaucouver saved the day. He took
u tin lid of a cracker box, pierced
a small hole in the center of it,
placed it on the top edge of the
trench with a lighted candle
^ack of the hole. As it was dark
the hole looked as if it were a man
smoking a cigarette. Immediately
a volley of shots began to hammer
away at the tin lid. The fellow
from Vancouver then grabbed the
I'pce of tin and from the angle
which the bullets pierced the lid
judged the sniper must be in a tree
a certain distance away. Crawling
underneath, dead bodies the Van
couver man crept acros® No Man's
I<nd and got the sniper, proof,
of which was the Btopplng of tfce
Little White Terrier
Versus Big Irish Bull
He was a plain, common, nearly
white terrior that the Montana in
fantrymen didn't have time to take
with them, though he wanted to go
as badly as any man in their outfit.
And it hurt him pretty deeply to
think that after cliumbing around
with the native sons for months tb (
bad forgotten him.
His bome was at the post. If
thcv all left and the Washington
boys too, bo would stay and guard
tba grim red brick buildings and
wait for their victorious return. And
he would be glad as any parent or
friend for their bravery and valor.
More Good Pals.
The big fellows from the coast
proved to be pretty good friends,
and the little terrior was aa liappjj
as the mess Jlno is long. He was
uatted on tho head, and not once
was be kicked. Why should anyone
throw rocks at him? Wasn't he
as much a part of the defense of
the post as the boys with the red
cords?
And so, unofficially, be became
one of the company mascots. He
had »wo brother pups with him, but
on<j was a handsome collie and the
other a fighting Irish bull pup. Thrjj
were new in camp. They didn't
have the rights and privileges that
he had earned by faithfulness and
constancy.
A Haiti Fight
One day tho little terrior got
jealous of his laurels. The tough
looking hull pup was being shown
too many attentions. And so
it was that a fight for first honor*j
tock place. The little white dog
tried hard to protect his riglit; he
fought the best he could, but be
fore the boys could separate them,
the bigger dog had broken the little
pup's leg, and limped around pretty
sadly.
The sun was shining brightly over
tbe Mcntana foothills as eight of
his late playmates coaxed him
away, about a quarter of a mile
behind the barracks. They dug a
trench in the ground, patted him on
tho head, and bid himgood bye. A
muffled shot, and they laid him to
rest.
And after all he could not have
wanted more. Tho post belonged to
him. He wanted to stay with it
or its guardians always. And now.
after these young fellows had left,
after the others had come back,
ho would silently be guarding his
home, would oe with It forever.

Rov Mulvlhlll, stationed >vith the
Xatioii.il Army at Fort Harrison,
.Uoutana, recently sent liis parents
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Mulvihill, a
cooy o£ "The Morning Taps'' a
bright and witty weekly paper of
four pages published at the fort
giving the daily events of the sol
diers life.
Hoy G. Rosenthal is editor in
chief of the paper and Sgt. Ray
Rjr»a is his able assistant. Both
rnou were students iu the Uni
versity of iVashiugtoa the past thre
yoarg, and were active in the De
partment of Journalism in the
college. In the early days of Fort
Wordtn, wljere Rosenthal wa§ first
stuiioned, Taps came out a bulle
tin miniature of a metropolitan
tiewsuaper's front page. The col
umns were typewritten and the
headlines were sketched. Taps
never missed an issue. Each Fri
day afternoon it was posted on the
company bulletin board and of
ficers and men alike would gather
around to persue its columns. Roy
Rosenthal, in editing a paper in
this manner, was following a course
stir'ei in the University where
each student is required to con
stantly sketch make-up front pages
of the best newspapers in the Un
ited States.

Houf>c Warming At Sonidough Iloost
On Tuesday evening Mr. G. J.
Farwell entertained nearly thirty
of his friends in Iits own quarters,
"Sourdough Roost." This is the
cabin formerly occupied by the
Pykcs and is the property of Hugo
l.'ngefroren. This little home has
three rooms and a fair sized wood
shed. The latter was turned into
a cloak room for the guests. Mr.
Farwtll spent much time in giving
ltls no-v home a cozy appearance
and succeeded beyond Ills most ar
dent expectations. The living
room, bed room and kitchen-dining
room were made comfortable with
improvised seats made from dry
goods boxes requisitioned from
"somewhere" in the SoutJ End;
tobies were borrowed or comman
deered from the neighbors, and be
ing a young man of resources Mr.
Farwell prepared quite an elaborate
repast—in which cream of tomato
seuj-. cheese wafers, sandwiches
and plenty of good drinks appeared
on the menu. Mr. Farwell 13 guil
ty of- all these preparations except
the sandwiches. He owns to being
ass'stc-d in the making of those
by Mrs. Frank Wilcox, Mrs. Fred
W. Fickardt and Miss Martha Mag
glllicuddy. Two tables were placed
in the dining room, one in the
bedroom and two in the living
room and "500" and "grab" were
the ?ames of the evening. The grab
taMa where the regulation cards
and walnuts were used was the
first cr head table and from the
other tables the winners progressed
to that table. A big box of choco
lates was won by Miss Edna Evans
as the reward for good playing and
Mr. Thomas Scott received a silver
mounted "ever sharp" pencil for his
jjrewess at cards and grab. Pretty
b.iff colored place cards were used
with photographs of the "Roost"
as embellishment. This was also
the work of the host. The whole
even in a w»s marked for its jolly
fun acd harmonious good will and
is a good start for Mr.F arwell on
his way to further entertainments.
Tfcose who enjoyed the hospitality
of .Mr. Farwell were Mr. and Mrs.
F. \V. Fickardt, Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
Scott, Mr- and Mrs. F. E. Wilcox,
