is ROGERS a oUITTER2

y Mr.. W. Scott Rogers, of Litchfield,
known as the "humorist of the House"
in the last legislative session, who has
been in editorial charge of the Litch-
field Inquirer since Editor George O.
Woodruff left for the Panama EXPOSE
and wants the boss to hustle back home.
In a three quarter column advertise
ment" printed i'll the editorial column
last week, Rogers appealed for "infor-
nation as to the whereabouts of an in
dividual branded with the initials G.
G. W.; weighing less than three hun
dred pounds fore and aft, also carrying
about three tons of personal good opin-
possessed of a good and generous appe-
tite with a capacity for feeding early,
late and often, having in his possession
regular credentials as publisher and
asteroid editor OF this paper.
The bill of particulars sets forth that
the absent editor has violated his
promise to 'send home interesting &C.
counts of himself and his travels, " the
substitute editor has "three weeks back
salary DUE" and the over-officious
"devil," who 'seems to own the ma
chinery and all the contents of this
place, leaves out all the Rogers jokes
and funny business. "
Under the circumstances we cal
hardly blame Rogers for getting dis
couraged. but we advise him to sticl
and cheer up. He hasn't yet learned
half the negative joys OF being al
editor. Besides, he has sunny jim
at his elbow TO help push the clouds
away. On the other hand, we shall
advise Editor George, when he returns

Mown down! Mown down! Mown
down! Mown down!
They staggered i'll sheets of fire.
They reeled like ships in a sudden
blast,
And sheds of flesh went scattering past,
Like friends from hell-Retire!
The tall young men, the tall young men,
That were so fain to die;
1t was not theirs to question,
1t was not theirs to reply.
They had broken their hearts on the
cold machines;
And-they had not seen their foe;
And the reason OF this butchers work
1t was not theirs to know;
For these tall young men were children
Five short years ago.
Headlong, headlong, down the hill,
They leapt across their dead.
Like madmen. wrapped in sheets of
flame,
Yelling out of their hell they came,
And, in among their plunging hordes,
The shrapnel burst and spread.
The shrapnel severed the leaping limbs
And shrieked above their flight,
They rolled and plunged and writhed
like snakes
In the red hill brooks and the black
thorn brakes.
Their mangled bodies tumbled like
| elves
In wild Walpurgis night.
Slaughter! Slaughter! Slaughter!
The cold machines whirred on.
And strange things crawled among the
wheat
With entrails dragging round their feet,
And over the foul red SHAMELESS
! A fearful sunlight shone.

able Of men - exclaimed the exhorteI
