, each one takes a lot
out of the big fellow's life. Unlike the guns of smaller calibre, they
cannot be used over and over again. They are too powerful to be used in
actual trench warfare, but let a fortress, or a mountain that has
perversely got in the way of operations, loom up ahead, and down it
goes! Also the big shells have been found exceedingly useful in knocking
in the roofs of German tunnels underground, even those that are quarried
out ninety feet under the surface.

All in all, the big fellow has a short life, but--if he's directed
right--it's a mighty gay one.

A BULL IS DURHAM'S PRIDE.
----

A Durham, N. C., enthusiast recently telegraphed to United States Marine
Corps headquarters in Washington:

"Terrier belonging to U.S. Marine kills huge rooster after battle royal
in main thoroughfare. Indignant chicken fanciers witness affair and
demand dog pay death penalty. Then they learn ill-fated rooster's name
was 'Kaiser.' Result: Dog is now pride of Durham."

"HE MAY OVERHEAR IT!"

"Aw, he ain't a bad skipper--as skippers go!"

"Gee, though, that was some clip he run us at on the way up that hill!
It pulled my cork all right, I'll tell the world!"

"Sat'day afternoon drill, too, eh? I wonder, is he goin' to work us all
eight days o' the week?"

"Aw, lay off! Don't blame him! He gets hell from higher up if he don't
work us, don't he? He ain't the boss!"

"Listen, guy! I wish you'd of worked for the cap'n I had to work for in
the Philippines! This bird is tame alongside o' him!"

"He's a good skate, all right, when he's off duty. I was talkin' to the
top the other day, and he says--"

"Sure, he's the real thing! Served two hitches in the ranks before he
come up to where he is now!"

"Who? The cap'n? Say, bo, he's a regular guy, he is!"
