MY DADDY WAS A so.ER.


My daddy was a sojer.
And fought against the wrong.
.sBravely and defiantIy,s'
As they say in the song
Ny dad says it's a gallant thing
To be sojer, but
It's orful when the bullets sing
And sabers slash and cut.
II was Mr.. Uncle Sam
Or his next bestest friend
wouldn't let them really fight,
But make them jest purtend-
My daddy says 'twould be well,
And he knows best, I guess,
If war was less like trimming he'll
And more parade and dress.

able elimination of rats present and a
still more marked decrease in sick or
dead rats seen. OF the dead rats found
many We're proved to have died from
the results of the rat crusade now be-
ing waged. Late observations indicate
that the number of rats found on board
vessels in the harbor of San Francis
co is being steadily reduced"
Past Assistant Surgeon Rupert Blue,
in charge of the plague determination
campaign in San Francisco, will re-
port that up to December Z, the num-
81; death rate. 59.S per cent. During
the week ending last Saturday, 1888

destroyed by fire or other means, SCI
rats We're found dead in the city, 1911

The statistics show that in India
from April last to October there were
553,557 cases of plague and 474.914

with little concern by Supervisor
SchmtZ. "The whole fight has originate

1t is understood that if the Oregon
sheepmen press their fight to secure

state supreme court has held inval1d
the 81, ,500.0 600 Seattle bond issue for the
extension of the city water system.
The decision was il. a suit brought by
Reeves Anymore against that city to
restrain the issuance of the bond. The
proposed bonds We're not a general mu-
nicipal obligation. but were to be re-
tired from the earnings of the system
The law authorizing such bond issue
requires that a certain proportion OF
the Income be made into special
fund This law, the supreme court
says. was not followed, for while the
question when submitted to. the voters
provided for a percentum of the earn
ings to be set aside annually, the for
NAL ordinance creating the special fund
provided for setting aside the fiat sum
of s175.O per annum. The court says
this fiat sum cannot be considered
fixed proportion, and that therefore the
issue is illegal.
