Tt was the biggest bill for chinaware Harl | Truman ever had to pay Note had not been one of the active plate-sailors, chided his comrades-in-arms: “I'll be glad to see you all in Washington, but I don't look forward to buying another $158 worth of broken dishes, The second tale related by Pe when Harry Truman was a very green and nervous artillery into action for the first time he ran Bennett Clark, former Sentaor son of the famed Speaker Champ and Truman had trained together in to France captain going across Judge Missouri, and Clark. Clark the Missouri National Guard, and went together about the same time, Clark with the ra of lieutenant colonel in the 6th Miss uri Infantry. Truman’s horse-drawn artillery had j ed at ont in a French railroad station behind the V. 40 poxcars, and was in the process of un- and 8" loading when, suddenly, Lt Col. Clark turned to Truman. Pointing dramatically to a dead hc 1ying near the ilrod station, he commanded: “Captain, you better get your men und guns out of here in a hurry. The Germans are shelling this place and you ought to unload and get under cover s quick as you can.” Taking Clark at his word, the nervous future President of the United Statés ordered his battery to detrain in a hurry, even pitching in hi 1f to help. After Ba v D had sweated frantically to get out ¢ 4 the “zone of fire with a grin. “That's a fine job, Truman,” he said. “But the joke's on you. That horse wasn't killed by the Ger- mans. He was shot by a veterinarian.” Truman didn't think the joke was so funny then Since then, he has tackled other new jobs, and has pitched in, green and nervous, to get them done. Later, when he became President of the United States, and Bennett Clark was defeated for the Senate, he appointed the ex-lieutenant colonel who played the joke on him to a coveted seat on the | U. 8.
