Card Saved Soldier’s Life.

A German lady sent a box of cigars to a soldier recently, accompanied by her calling card. The lieutenant later wrote her that the card had saved his life. One day while in the trenches he took out his notebook, and her card fell to the ground. When he bent to pick it up, shrapnel fell over the trench. He would have surely been killed had he not been in a reclining position. • --...U ;
