BILLY Langton must have heard
from the fleet" said McInerny as
he slid into a harber-chair alongside
The Man About Town.
"How's that?' said /. biting.

of the Pacific window: Fleet Station

"Ha, ha! Standing still! Ho, no."
giggled my shaver, nicking my chin.
mo, mol" explained the serious
minded proprietor, that's a card adj
vertising papers and envelopes with
the fleet pictures on tnem."
He, he!' went my razorfiend, wob-
bling like blanc-mange, and he nick
ed me again.
Cut that OUT" says l.
What, the pimple?" says he.
THE butchery,' groans 1.
I'm sorry" says he, this shave
won't cost you anything"
Then cut me again. says I, "and
throw in a shoe-shine."
I'VE haven't heard any more about
the Punchbowl ghost" remarked Col
onel Mccarthy from a smother of
lather in chair No. 2.
There wasn't any ghost" said Doc
Monsarrat, "Chet Doyle was just Civ
ing little exhibition"
There would have been a great
chance at that haunted house recep-

murmured l.
Long may she rage!' said the boot

Il see Iaukea pledged himself to the
Democratic party before he came out
as an independent" whispered the
proprietor, starting in to manicure Nc
Intyres genial countenance.
What of it?' says l, always nagging
at the bait.
Nothing, only he was perfectly sill

Admiral Beckley entered, removed
his collar and badges and called for a
shave, shine, a shampoo, a massage,
lomi-lomi, a haircut and a transfer
to the wet-goods department where his
constituents awaited him to present
him with medal
Everybody regretted that the Ad-
miral was in position where he
could not speak, FOR he tells splendid
story
But between scrapes he managed TO
say: "Thwing returns from Hilo to-
morrow in the Mauna Kea'
Has he been to the volcano pit?'

There's a gentle necromancy
That stirs fellows fancy
In the current contributions TO the
news.
For wizard wireless wonders
And of silly campaign blunders
There's enough to make him murmur;
What's the use?"
From the fleet that's overdue,
To Iaukea's l. o. u;
From social aspirations to political de
signs,
There's a wealth of new sensation
And a streak of CONSERVATION
That make a fellow wonder at the
meaning of the signs.
Admiral Swinburne keeps us waiting,
While Achi is loudly prating
OF the things he thinks he's going to
do when he is on the lid;
There's a Democratic rally
And dead cat in our alley,
And contract at Pearl Harbor that is
waiting for bid
There's Thwing or two performing,
And a-shrieking and a-storming
At the wickedness that loiters in this
burg of Paradise,
While us poor forsaken sinners
Are a-betting on the winners
Who will be declared elected and re-
ceive the peoples prize.
Marie, the Alphabetical,
In manner diametrical,
Is classifying men and girls by system
psychologist,
Baseball's getting frozen out
And half the towns prepared to shout
For anything or everything that's goot
or diabolic.

The atmosphere is pregnant
With a feeling inter-regnant,
The flet and politicians are a-keepinl
us awake,
But, by all that's good and pleasant,
Let us make good in the present
