Show His Unhealed War Wound. Veterans and near veterans were fighting all the old battles over again in the street car. Thrilling es capes and blood curdling adventures had been related by the dozen when the turn came to a little old man with a long beard. Stroking this adornment carefully, the old man said: "Well, boys, the war cost me just $900 in cold cash. I didn't want to go, so I paid a substitute the money to serve for me. Do you know that fellow went all through the war without with-out getting a scratch? I could have done the same thing and saved my money. I tell you, war is a calamity." Kansas City Journal. |
