Marines are sort of first cousins to
soldiers. Mighty little difference be-
tween them, excepting that a marine
doesn't get seasick as a general thing
and soldiers always do when they get
a chance.
At a local hotel where they sell
little libations at two-bits per, they
are telling a pretty good story about
a marine who came ashore from one
of the American warships recently
and started to invest a lot of his
months pay in things they sell over
the bar says the San Francisco
Chronicle. He started to do this
thing at the water front, where IL
bations are a dime apiece, and graduA
ally worked his way uptown to this
hotel, where it's two bits a shot.
And in the hotel cafe he butted into
his lieutenant.
The lieutenant called him down in
front of the entire crowd. Brown
he said, you left the ship two hours
ago cold sober, and now you're lit up

=" Love You, Dear.

A scent of violets in the air,
And singing birds,
A beauty new born, fresh and fair,
Too deep for words;
A little maid with floral crown
On hair of gold,
And blushing cheeks where Hes the
kiss
or love bold,
Whose boyish lips a story tell
Into the ear,
AS bending low. he whispers soft,
II love you, dear!"
The breath of roses in the air,
And lilacs sweet,
And sunny sky Of azure blue
The morn doth greet;
A maiden crowned with ~womanhood,
And robed In white,
With smiling lips, and in her eyes
A tender light.
Before the altar proudly stands,
And answer clear
The one who whispered soft and low,
Il love you, dear!"
A whirl of snowfakes in the air,
A cold, gray sky.
Where scudding clouds and wintry
winds,
Go sweeping by;
A oma with a crown of years
On silvered hair,
And faded cheek, where youths fair
bloom
Once fingered there,
Beside the hearthstone knits, and
rocks
While someone near
Bends low his whitened head and
says.
Il love you, dear!"

world Ger knew-when the throb-

oh. what will the dansels do:
They may watch and wait by the
garden gate. as they watched III
the days of yore, but the strong
Young men will return again to
the twilight tryst no more. War $
shadow falls on the huts and halls.
and through it the old men gropc !;
but the darker shades for the
widowed maids who mourn ocr
the wreck of hope. 1t is theirs to
moan and to walk alone a desolate
path and sere. and the whispered
VOWS meath the swaying boughs
are things OF the yesteryear.
When the tale is told the infrm
and old may weep for their strong
Young men: "and its well. they'll
sigh, that we soon shall die. and
be. with our sons again" But the
widowed maids in the darker
shades no comfort like that can
win; through the years they'll
wait ior the jasper gate to open
