into it and hits up a ragtime march, and the
poor exiles gets up on their hind legs and
howls their heads off, and is SO scared they

Then what do you do? You shake your
head, and say the poet must have been mis-
taken, and promptly order the bandstand
torn down and moved out to the front end
of the park again, SO the poor homesick
exiles won't be grieved by the dulcet strains
so reminiscent of the wind through the gor-
geous jungles whence they came"

curb the Colonel's outlay; but he might as

sold at constantly increasing prices and the
Colonel had always found some new method
