A quiet, clean-cut young fellow, who had listened to the blatant-mouthed party, said: "res, 1 should Judge the last state ment to be correct by your appear ance.” ’ To the end of the line the loud talk, er had nothing more to say.

One Is that the cigars and tobacco we get there, excepting at the United States com missary stores, are bum, and that the food Isn’t what a fellow would expect. It Isn’t that the grub Isn’t O.
