This is one Of the yarns Of childhood;
six-year-old Tommie was sent by his
eldest sister to the corner grocery 10
buy a pound of lump sugar. He played
allies on his way 70 the store, and by the
time he arrived there he had forgotten
what kind of sugar he was sent for. So
he took home pound ofthe granulated
article. His eldest sister sent him back
to the store to get lump sugar. After.
the proprietor Of sthe grocery shop had
made the change fcr the little lad he en-
gagged Tommie In conversation.
"Tommie," said he, IT understand

Her eyes are blue-she's full of fight

She steals her hatbands from Old

Her hatpins breathe Of battles CORY
While peeping meath tri-colored tie
Is placed the glorious emblem by
The war girl!
Brass buttons stud her leather belt,
She wears hat that's made OF felt,
The regulation buckles's there,
She wears a bold, defiant air
The war girl!
The soldier is her love and pride;
She weeps for. heroes who have died
She may not know them all, but yet
Her glorious eyes with tears are wet
The war grill
She scorns the coward who should be
In camp on land or ship at sea-
Her heart is at the army's goal
The navy has her loyal soul

What means this sharp, despairing
cry,
Which cuts, like blade OF steel the
air.
Causing the creeping blood to chill,
With the sharp cadence OF despair
Whence comes It? From both sides at
once
Where rancor, hate and envy dwell,
And factions strive to drown the
sound
Which rings to both their funeral
knell.
The cry we hear is ringing out
From men who find themselves al
sea-
And catch a straw that's floating by,
The straw OF too-late harmony.
