HER NAME WAS MAUD.

j. A. Hall in the Atlanta Journal.
A. Georgia mule was Maudie,
Who used to gambOl free.
Through verdant fields and paaturcs
Up there in Cherokee.
Alas, one day stranger
Led Maud away from home,
And sent her swiftly sailing
Far DER the briny foam
TO where the war was raging
And bullets fell like rain
Mid rife pits and trenches
On Belgiumis sodden plain.
They hitched her to a cannon.
And ordered her to 90.
in tn tongue of Emile Zola-
A sound she did not know!
Poor Maudie was not happy
She didn't like their style
She backed against the Trenches,
And kicked 'em bout a mile.
She scattered SilIhs and Tommies
And knocked the Turcos out,
She busted up two autos.
And then she wheeled about,
And charged upon the kitchen,
And overset the soup;
And round the generals noggin.
Her heels they looped the loop.
She lCaped the narrow trenches,
And with a wild bazoo,
She bade the scrambling allies
A resonant adiou.
She charged among the Germans,
Without a single vince
She smashed the line Of battle,
And trampled on a prince!
They went for her with Ieppelins,
] And Krupps and gatling guns
/ They tore the trees with shrapncl
And deadly metal buns.
But Maud just kicked and beloved,
And switched her tail at such;
And gallOpcd into Holland.
And took up with the Dutch.

In order to obtain complete domina-

longer than two years, the Democratic
party. in advocating cloture in the
Senate, may tie its own hands fer an
other period of sixteen years.
What has become of the professed
love of Democracy for free discussion
in the open? What has become OF tho
boasts that when the Democratic party
came into power there would be no
more transaction OF public business
behind closed doors?
Arc the Democrats now prepared to
admit as a party. that the fight against
the Cannon rules in the House. like
the charge that the tariff was respon-
sible for the high cost of living, was
merely "molasses TO catch fiies9"

Those Senators who have fought
