THE BUTroNLEss BRIGADE.

And sent us forth buttonless brigade.
We once were proud as monarchs of our

But o. the Denver maiden with her soul

Has robbed us of our brightest orna-
ments.
She'd say Goodbye. God bless youi" with

That loyal lovely aggravating maid,
Then pull her tiny scissors, and we'd hear
a muffled snip
And soon we were a buttonless brigade.
They wear them on their hat pins and
upon their shirt waists. too,
And where else goodness, gracious only
knows.
While we poor devastated and uneasy
bows in blue
Are doubling the allegiance of our
clothes.
In vain our pleas and prayers to our good
old Uncle Sam

The girls again will rob US. else he doesn't

For the troubles of the buttonless bril-

AS to the west we travelled folks would
peer into our train.
Upon our brassless clothing they would
gaze.
And laugh at our appearance in a merry
sort of strain.
And think we were a lot of martial Jays
The sun-rays of Manila may upon US
brightly beam.

You are a brass-shorn, buttonless bril-

"No HASTE"

It is. said to be. a good general rule
to make haste slowly, but there are
times when haste Should be made
hastily; one of these times is when a
call for volunteers is made in time OF
war.
The president has issued a call for
5000 more volunteers. and yet the peo-
pie are informed from Washington
that lit is still uncertain just how far
the national authorities will go towards
recruiting these forces themselves, nor.
is it positively known that independent
organizations, companies. battalions
and regiments. raised by individuals.

What We Can Do With EN-.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The question
of the hour with the constitutional worry
ers is. What VIII we do with the Philip
pines?"
Wen. we can either keep them. return
them, sell them, abandon them or blow
EN- UP.
We can wait for an earthquake to come
along and destroy them. We can get
crowbars under them and dump them in
to the sea. We can sew EN- up in bags
and use EN- to I'LL up the gap left by the
late assistant secretary of the navy. We
can chain EN- together and tow 'em over
to San francisco and spread EN- out on
the sand lots to dry. We can grapple EN-
up with that Illinois flying machine and
drop EN- on the heads of the first great
power that refuses to blot interference
out of it's family dictionary. We can put
plasters on EN- and draw EN- all together
and give away the franchise for the whole
thins to the first big trust that comes
along and asks for 1t.
And yet idiots continue to go around
asking in maudlin tones. What are we
going to do with the Philippines
