HOW POEMS ARE WRITTEN.
About a nook beside a brook
The poet writes:
Amid the gloom Of a hall room
Up seven flights.
He sings 10 YOU about the view
From woodland spots.
When all that he can really see
Is chimney pots.
He glibly tells Of fragrant delis
And balmy breeze.
Amid the scent OF onions blent
With mUsty cheese.
Between four walls, as Il befalls,
he pounds away:
Up seven flights he gayly writes
His rustic lay.

Of course, no reason why the army en-

officers Of other branches Of the service

engineers. The decision OF the Secretary

indication that no special privileges are
