THE MUTINY OF A
LONDON DUS DRIVER
m
The following story was told hy a
corporal of the British army who was
wounded at the front:
A British battery had been under
heavy tire at Charleroi. One. of the
(runs of the battery had especially
drawn the enemy’s tire. At last only
three men were left to serve it.
"Ho there they were," said the cor
poral with enjoyment, "sweatln and
eursin ’orrible. Two of the men ’ad
been buddies for years, they had been
conductor and driver on a Charlnir
Cross bus." ’
"The conductor 'e was killed" said
the corporal. “Shrapnel it was that ’It
'lm. Pair took ’Is 'end off"
Ho then there were two men left to
serve the (run, rltlo balls pla y Ink a
tatoo upon the steel shield. The crews
of the other guns in the batter}' hud
' been badly cut up. No one could coine
i to their aid. At last the officer in com
mand got the word to fall back. He
shouted the order to his men, for his
little bugler was dead under the wheels
The guns were to be deserted. No
horses could be brought to them In face
of the enemy's fire. The driver of the
Charing Cross bus looked at his cap
tain. His blood-shot eves strained out
of his powder blackened face. “But look
at 'im sir” lie pleaded. In a little hol
' low hack of the gun the conductor of
the bus was fast asleep His poor
body was protected there from German
bullets. His buddy had thrown his
Jacket over the cruel wounds The
hands were crossed upon the dead
man's breast. The clumsy artillery
boots fell away from each other ”The\
: killed ’irn" said the bus driver piteoush
"I oarnt pu away and leave me pal"
“Come on." said the officer. "We'ro
ordered to retire, fall In." "Ton po lo
’ell sir.” said the tins driver firmly
What was left of the battery doubled
under the little hill on which the puns
were mounted. Safe for the moment
In the tiny valley, they looked back at
that shell torn eminence whence they
had fled There they saw the ('haring
I Cross bus driver cramming a shell Into
the gun “So then the others went
back,” suid the corporal simply, "and
| they saved the puns."

A MYSTERY
SOLVED
I read that o'er in l£ur>>p'-‘- where they're
putting up a fight.
The French are using the latest shell
filled up with "Turplnlte;"
It kills or stupefies all life four hun
dred yards around
And. surprising thing about it, it
makes hut little sound;
Something like tearing paper, tip
ping clapboards from i wall
But what the ebumpound's made "f no
one explains at all.
But here is the explanation where
Turpin got his points;
He one time lived in State of Mai no,
and visited the Joints;
Then he took away some samples,
and analyzed tin* booze
(Between Bangor's or Xugiista’i)
must have worried him lo choose.)
I don’t know what lie added, but it
coubl not have been much.
To give living tilings quietus, Grim
Heath the strangle clutch.
<>f i nurse 'tis tough lo drink .Maine
boose but smell it—holy smoke! -
I'm told that those who'v. tried the
stunt have found it is no Joke,
•lust think o'er the combination,
wood alco., gasolene.
Aquafortis, nitric acid, with a .Hall
of kerosene,
Cayenne pepper, prune juice, sulphur,
and many forms of dope
Tet men still live whu've guzzled it
— but smell it”—give up hope.
'Tis not a perfume factory. where
(Ins awful slulT is sold
Just so with tlie new-fangled shell -
or so tlie papers laid.
When this deadly bomb is busied,
and fumes spicud fui and w'ldn.
All enemies who suck them in. aio
wafted o'er the tide.
Then, Germans, learn this lesson
well—tiie last line discloses
\\ hen lapping booze or dodging shells,
right firmly hold your noses.
