ONLY SPECTATORS

AN amusing incident occurred in Belfast
the other day involving an American sol
dier, complete with all the U. S. military
police trappings, who was directing traffic
at a busy crossing. He noticed a woman
and two children, standing hand-in-hand on
the pavement, apparently nervous about
crossing the street.

Like the policeman in the popular song
“with a wave of his hand,” he stopped all
trafic and went across to them, saying
“Come on, you can cross now.”

“It’s all right, thanks,” the woman re-
plied, “we don’t want to cross. The
children were only watching you.”

—The Constabulary Gazette.

THE coloured preacher, after talking to his
congregation about free salvation, asked
Brother Smith to take up the collection. A
parishioner got to his feet and protested:
“Parson, I thought you said salvation was
free—free as the water we drink.”

“Salvation IS free, Brother,” replied the
minister. “It’s free and water is free; but
when we pipes it to you, you have to pay
for the piping..—Wéall Street Journal.

FOUR Marines were playing bridge in a
hut on Wake Island. Suddenly another
leatherneck burst into the room and
shouted: “The Japs are landing a force of
about 200 men down on the beach!”
The four Marines looked at one another
wearily. Finally, one said: “Ill go. I’m
dummy this hand.’—The Safe Driver.
