Seasick Soldier Stories

Strange to relate, none of the stories I have read or heard so far in the present war have to do nrith seasick soldiers' Duiing World War One some of the very best stories of the soldiers-stories that fairly rocked the country-were seasick stories. Here are some samples of those I published and told during the last war.

No Wecrkness

The troop ship struck very rough water, and the rail was lined with seasick soldiers. One boy wai so violently ill that a Sergeant nearby walked over' sylnpathetically, and putting his hand on the shoulder of the sufrerer said:

. "Soldier, you must have a weak stomach."

"Weak, hell!" said the sick one. "I'm throwing it as far as anybody."

His Choice oI Sights

A colored soldier lay below in his bunk on the troop ship, desperately seasick. He had been that way for days. A friend rushed down to him and shouted:

Mexiccrn Scrles oI Flexwood qnd Flexglcss Increcse

Moiern design is very popular among Mexican architects of "the new generation" who are participating in the current building boom in that country, according to a report received from "Mexico Europa, S. A.", Mexican representative of the United States Plywood Corporation. Mexicani sales of Flexwood and Flexglass, decorative materials made and sold jointly by The Mengel Company and U. S. Plywood, have shown a large percentage increase in recent months, according to George Selden, manager of the division.

"Come on up on deck, quick, Mose! I wants to show you '; a whale !"

"Go 'way, boy, I aii't comin"' said Mose' t'An' don't call me ergin till you kin show me a POSTOAK TREE " ***

A Seasick PrcrYer

A colored soldier was so seasick he was certain he was' going to die, and some of his mates hait jokingly told hin fre friA very little chance to live. So he rolled out of his ' bunk, and knelt down on his knees on the foor, and those' near-by heard this soulfril prayer rising to the Throne 'j above:

"Oh, Lawd, mos' folbs keep astin' you fo' things dl de;d time. I ain't nevahtsted You fo' nuthin' befo' an',ifln Youi{:;; he'p me dis time I promises nevah t'ax You fo' nuthinl: "rgirr, but I needs he'p right now, Lawd, an' I needs h'it badlji so come on down, Lawd, an' he'p dis po' niggah befo' hq done goes daid! An'not only come' Lawd, but come SOONI r An', O Lawd! If You'all cain't come Yo'se'f, please Lawdl' SEND ONE O'YOU' SPEEDIES' ANGELS!''
