An Expert.
A government press censor was talk
ing about the German press censor
ship.
"We found on some prisoners, re
cently," he said, "the German censor
ship's latest prohibition. Prominent
among these was an order to the press
not to mention under any clrcumstnce
the growing use In Germany of dog
flesh for food.
"That prohibition reminds me of a
story—a story that may contain a lot
of truth.
"A German prisoner," the story runs,
was rebuked by a sergeant for the
sloppy way he was feeding and look
lug after some Red Cross dogs.
•"I guess you think you know a lot
about dogs,' the sergeant sneered.
" 'Yes, sir, that's right,' said the pris
oner, 'for let me tell you, sir, I've been
cook In a 3erlin restaurant for the
last two years.""
Mature Enlightenment.
"That great railroad president was
once an office boy."
"I venture a guess," observed Miss
Cayenne, "that he felt much more se
cure and Important when he was aa
office boy than he docs today."
A Gene Case.
Katherine—I saw him flirting with
a girl last month, nnd he's a married
man.
Kidder—Well, that's always the
way. If a man gives a girl the least
encouragement she'll marry him.
