When you are old and tired and gray

will you be inspired to say, when
children cry, "A tale, grandsire. :"
They'll want TO hear about the war
that ragged when you were young and
hale; it is a topic You'll abhor, but
you will have to spring a tale. 1t was
time to rend The heart, when brave
young fellows bled and died, but in the
fuss | took no part-I didn't care to
risk my hide. did not join the battle
chants, but claimed exemption on the
score that | supported seven aunts,
and sickly grannies, five or four. De
fend the fiag!' old men and fraus

wen. forth with dauntless souls to

On Jordan's other side, and doubtless
they will greet with scorn the man
who feared to risk his hide"

MRS. RUTHERFORD IS
AUTHOR OF SONG

The following clipping from the
Great Divide, a weekly edition of the
Denver Post, will undoubtedly be read
with considerable interest by local
folks, but whether Forrest Rutherford
is the same person who formerly was
superintendent of the Copper Queen
Shelter, in Douglas and Althea, his
wife, has not been verified, but owing
to the fact that both are at present
visiting in Denver, or rather Pueblo,
the home of Mrs Rutherford, leads
one to suspect that they are the auth
ors of the $4,000 military song:
Gimme Kiss, Mirandy," words
and music by Forrest Rutherford and
Althea Rutherford of Denver, has won
the gold medal in the New York
Herald contest for the best marching
song to be substituted for Upper
ary."
When the people of the United
States went to war and began to de-
mand something that would swing the
soldiers into line with a song on their
lips, Mr.. and Mrs. Rutherford decided
to enlist their musical talent, with the
result that such distinguished judges
as Reginald De Koven, Victor Herbert,
Herbert Witherspoon and John Philip
Sousa have pinned a gold medal on
Mirandy and handed the Denver
authors to fame and doubtless for
tune.
