THE elneERsReAo- ARMY.

Upright they stood on the bakerman's tray,
Those brave little gingerbread men,
Bearing their guns in soldieriy way
As they stood in their rows of ten;
Ready for battle and martial they looked,
So stiff and so straight did they stand,
Zach with little brown elbow up-crooked,
As though at the captains command
INTO the bakerman's window one day
A little boy gazed at the show,
Feasting his eyes in a coveting way
On all the good things made of dough;
And on the gingerbread army so fine
He presently fastened his eyes.
Scanning each little brown soldier In line,
So jaunty and all. of one size.
Forth from his pocket the little boy drew
Some pennies, and then in a trice
into the baker-shop straightway he flew
To ask of the soldiers the price;
One for a penny" the bakerman said,
IA dime for the lot, little man.
And buying the soldiers of gingerbread
Quick homeward the little boy ran.
For but an hour the little boy played
At soldier, and then he began
To nibble the sugar of which was made
The cap of a gingerbread man;
30 good did It taste he nibbled away
Until the whole soldier was gone,
And then, unappeased, quite shocking to
say,
ne ale ehe "nole ARMY save one
The one little gingerbread soldier lay
All alone on the pantry shelf,
and tucked in his bed the rest of the day
The little boy moaned to himself: =
His stomach was sick for more than an
hour
He said he'd ne'er do so again
Twas wrong for one little boy to devour o

GUARDING THE PRESIDENT
Full on His Recent Tour of
90 the States.

The four secret service men who
formed President Roosevelt's personal
guard on his recent trip through the
west had a strenuous time of it on the
road, says a Washington letter in the
. New Orleans Times-Democrat. They
received no end of knocks. bruises and
scratches in performing their duty Of
protecting the president against the
crushing mobs. in keeping enthusiastic
but reckless admirers at proper dis
lance and knocking out obstreperous in
dividuals who refused to heed warnings
to keep back.
The members Of the presidents guard
had no less than 80 hand-to-hand en-
counters with unruly mobs, and it be-
came necessary for them to deliver
knockout blows to about Is or 20 diff
ferent persons. They are old hands
at the business, and when the presi-
dents safety demanded it they thought
no more of putting an aggressive and
suspicious-looking character to sleep
than Jeffries does of knocking out an
ambitious boxer.
The men are the. pick of the secret
service, and each is a splendid athlete
and a-.superb boxer. They always ac-
company the president on trips out of
Washington, and know their business
thoroughly.
At many Of the cities visited by the
president on the recent trip the local
arrangements for keeping the crowd in
check and providing for the comfort
of the. visitors was very poor. In GER
tain instances there were practically no
regulations for maintaining order what
ever. When this condition was met
the secret-service men had their work
cut out for them. 1t was their custom
to form a Gordon about the president
as best they could with their limited
numbers, locking arms with each other
when necessary.
The secret-service men had their face
scratched and bruised repeatedly by thu
flying arms of persons reaching out II

was vital for the guards to drop Their
man at q single blow, so that every time

some beautiful specimens,
but these are mostly very
trying, and on the whole I should
say that the best models are not

they are extraordinarily fiat and wide,

they were high and narrow and think
they are rather apt to dwarf the head and
shoulders when worn in company with

WE EXCHANGE
RECORDS

Bring us your old disc records that
you have grown tired of (either Co
lumbia or Victor), and we will ex-
change them for the new Improved
Columbia Disc Records. We will al
low you 80 cents for your 10-inch
record and other sizes in proportion.
The new Improved Columbia Records
are of elegant workmanship and are
a decided advancement in the art of
record making. They have a full,
sweet tone, and owing to the manner
in which they are made they have
less scratching tone; the needle seems
TO run smoother on the record. We
also wish to introduce to your notice
the new Grand Opera Sound Box,
which is designed to obviate the
scratch of the needle and at the same
time retain the full volume of tone.
We will exchange the new Grand
Opera Sound Box for any of the old
style Columbia sound boxes now on
the market. Call at our warerooms
and get our plan of exchange. We
carry the largest line of records in
the city.
