ITell the French government to call him
off Immediately
One Sherman (probably Germany is
said to be marching through Georgia.
Advise Blanco TO send force to head
him off.
A former president by the name of
Grant has just received the sword of
surrender from some insurgent officer
by the name of X. Il. Lee. AS Lee is
not Cuban name, cannot account for
this. Probably renegade cowboy cross
ed over from Texas to help Gomez.
People built Senor Grant marble man
sion on the Hudson river. 1t will make
little Ally pretty playhouse when we

Paper money, aceOrding to this inside

THE POETS WAR BRIGADE.

BY one of the members
Ye gallant men who wield tho pen
And shed whole seas of ink.
Whose hearts are full of fury,
Whose heads are full OF think.
Our country now is calling to
The reckless and the staid
And loud the answers coming from
The poets war brigade,
Now to discordant notes Of strife
Each bard has tuned his Tyre,
And every heart is swelling like
A huge pneumatic tire
With rhythmic step they're marching IN
As to a dress parade,
Ten thousand cranks TO join the ranks
That form the war brigade.
Each scribe win sharpen up his qu-u
To puncture Spanish pride,
Mount his cavorting Pegasus
And on to glory ride.
No harmless cartridges of blank
Shall form their fusillade,
But vollcys of most deadly rhyme
Pour from the war bri. .ade
And when they hear those missiles sing
The naughty dons will flee
With a punctured tired feeling and
All plunge into the sea.
Then the victors will return as from
A picnic escapade
With not scribbler missing from
The poets war brigade.
And when the strife is over and
The drum and fife are still
And our ears. no longer listen to
Their warcries, loud and shrill,
BY fingers of fair maidens shall
Their songs of love be played,
While lullabies somnamhulize
The poets war brigade.

Living on Faith,

There is fatherly appearing old gen
tleman on Warren avenue whose age has
not alienated his love for the world and
the ways thereof. He has lived well for
years upon generous contributions from
rich relatives and is as free from care as
the proverbial lily.
The other day this venerable citizen
was accosted by an advocate of the faith
cure who told of the wide credence that
it was gaining among the people and of
the wonderful healing powers it had de-
veloped. ''Do you believe in it, SIR"
Indeed do In fact, I'm a living,
breathing example of that same healing
power.
"You delight me. What has your ex-
perience been?"
"Wcll, SIR chuckled the sly old
gentleman, there is not "a stroke of
work to my credit for the last 20 years.
During that period l have had faith in
my relatives and have been well heeled

time last week. During the last 1OU
feet ore was found il considerable
and increasing quantities, but too
low grade to ship. A new contract
has been let to John Booley, James
Coyle and others, and work on the
tunnel will be continued during the
winter. 1t is safe bet that before
spring plenty of good ore will be en-
countered.-Winston Prospector.
