THE DIFFERENCE


cANTo I
In days OF old.
When soldiers bold
Set out for love of state or glory,
Twas easy writing
Their fate-exciting.
But now, tbs quite a different story
Their hearts were true.
Their coats were blue,
And this made rhyming free as reason.
But now the verse.
Grows daily worse
When uniforms change every season.
cANro II
For. since the regulations came
Which shelved the blue with ancient fame
The rhythm heroic runs like this,
'Tis plain to judge how imposing tis
He died upon foreign field,
Nor chose he life, IL live meant yield,
Nor, through dishonor. fame would grab.
He wore his country's-olive drab.
Hark! Hear the trend Of coming foe
The fight is on them, well they know
This is no idle game Of hockey,
They wear their countrys loyal khaki.
Some verbal tribes. I'll admit
OFFEND my sense of things just Mt.
Death cometh not in guise SO striking
When met on fields Of glory hiking"
CANTO III
OF old, 1t was some ringing call
That sounded far through heavens arch
The very dying woke 10 life
And sprang to head the order march"
But now tits all so different;
Some chap comes riding on bike,
Unstraps his camera, and all
Strike poses at the order 'Hike!'

A LOVE TEST

" HY should not Anna Gould marry
w Prince de Sagan In spite of her
brother Georges advice? She is
old enough to have a mind of her own,
and to know 1t. The point which con-
Germs Brother George and the Ameri-
can people, who otherwise would be
decidedly out of order and. impolite in
making comments on the match, is
that large sum of money which rep
resents American work, American toll,
is apparently about to be placed with
in the control of a foreigner who is
over head and ears in debt, and will
use American money for the purpose
of paying off his European creditors.
If Anna is determined to rid herself of
her surplus millions, let her give them
to the government, in order that pub
lie works and other forms of employ
ment may be financed for the benefit
of Americans who are destitute be-
cause they cannot find a market for
their labor. The Gould fortune is in
timately associated with America. Ev-
cry dollar of it is American. Every
dollar of it was made in America. 1t
should be kept in America. IF Anna
Gould is so deeply in love with De
Sagan that she cannot live without
him, let her sacrifice her American
fortune cheerfully for his sweet sake.
If De Sagan is devoted to the Ameri-
can girl for her own sweet sake, let
her give him a chance of proving his
love. Let her go to him as the Beg
gar Maid went to King Cophetua. If
the possible fate of the fortune is to
cause a row in the Gould family, give
the fortune to the poor
