Here's looking at We Whiskers!
You're a very handsome man,
With a mouth for loaves and fishes.
Like a good Republican:
But you're gonna find rough sailing
With old Woodrow in the race
Unless you shave those whiskers off.
So folks can see your face.
If you'd like to govern Mexico
And be real boss.
Go run against Carranza
And make it boss and hoss:.'
You both could smoke a long stem
pipe
And give up cigarettes.
In order to avoid the smell
Of burning whiskerettes.
But here's to you, old Whiskers,
They say you're cold as snow
On Greenland's Icy Mountains
When the northern billiards
blow.
Believe me, Bo, before you hear
The White House dinner bell
Those whiskers will be wilted,
And You'll find it hot as
August.

They had been married six months
and for Alice, life had been so full
of happiness in her handsome
Georgian home, that she had never
given a thought to the use of NOR

her, said, Alice do you love me-

When he left her after many
inquiries, Alice dragged herself

on bed with pillows,
When Jack again entered the
room his face lit up when he saw
she was expecting him. He held
out his hands but when he reached
the bed exclaimed, Good heavens
girl, are you i'll"
No, no, it is nothing" and Alice
knew that the dryness Of her tongue
when she tried to speak was due to
the second dose of morphine.
Jack noticed the dull surface and
contracted pupils of her eyes, but
thought it came from the pain she
had suffered.
I'll be alright in the morning.
Alice told him to quiet his fond
concern. Only let me Sleep" she
pleaded.
Jack kissed her good night and
explained quietly, Unfortunately

please let me know how you are as
soon as you awaken, and take good
care of yourself, little girl"
That was all. He was gone and
great fear came over Alice as she
realized that she was left alone with
this terrible craving for morphine
growing on her. Then a certain
unholy citation possessed her at the
thought of his absence.
The next evening Alice was still
wearing her neslieee when sht
heard her husbands voice in the
hall below. She glanced hastily ii
the mirror to see if her eyes looked
strange. He came up behind he1
and put his arms around her scam

but when he came to her she felt a
renewal of faith in him.
A few nights later Alice and
Jack attended a ball. When they |
entered the spacious mansion the
rooms were already filled with a
| CAV crowd, beautiful women dressed
in all colors of satins and chiffons,
smartly colffed heads, with the re-
curing black of mems coats all
blended to harmony in the Subdued
mellow glow of the lights.
AS they were moving on the
guests seemed to separate as if it
had been arranged before hand and
Alice saw before her a beautiful
woman. Her golden hair was too
luxuriant for the modern fashion.
She cot a momentary impression of
sensitive. beautifully cut mouth,
but it was the eyes that attracted
and repealed her unbearably. 1t was
a vital incident, which occurs once
or twice in a lifetime when we
experience one of those encounters
of the soul.
Just then someone back of them
exclaimed. BY jove, there is Mrs.
Stanley, how lovely she looks! The
belle. as usual
Alice quickly raised her eyes to
her husbands, but his face was cold
and impassive. She could not read

NATIONAL GUARD NOT
f. PROVED UNFIT, BAKER
Secretary Of War Does Not
Agree with Gen. Scott.

WASHINGTON, D. CA sharp diff
ference of opinion over the national
guard arose between Secretary of
War Baker and General Hugh L..
Scott, chief of staff.
The secretary told the house COM
mittee on military affairs that he was
not yet convinced that the guard was
a failure. He said it is too early to
condemn the system.
General Scott told the senate com
mittee that if the guard had attempted
the forced marches by General Per-
shing, they would have killed them
selves and their horses"
II have faith in the principle of
universal obligation to the country"
said Secretary Baker, "but its appli-
cation is a matter of policy rather
than theory in my opinion. We cannot
at this time condemn the system.
1.-The national guard was called in
to action under most trying circum-
stances and showed remarkable i'm
provement. The experiment is yet in
it's middle stages"

SOnnino said in the chamber Of dep
uties that several resolutions which
had been introduced in the chamber
in regard to the peace proposals of
the central powers seemed to be
based on the supposition that the gov
eminent had or would have concrete
and precise indications as to the
bases on which negotiations would be
opened. This supposition DIES not
correspond with the facts" the for
eign minister continued.
"War With Utmost Prosecution"
LONDON, ENG.-Lord Curzon, pre-
senting the new cabinets policy in
the house of lords, said:
1.-THE policy of the new government
is that the war must be conducted
with the utmost prosecution, that
there must be an ample return for all
sacrifices, that full PREPARATION must be
made by the enemy for his countless
crimes and security given that those
crimes shall not be repeated and that
the sacrifices made shall not have
been in vain"
