A Troop of The Guard Rides Forth---
BY HERMANN HAGEooRN

There's a tramping of hoofs in the busy street,
There's clankng of sabres on floor and stair,
There's a sound Of restless, hurryng feet
OF that whisper. OF lips that entreat;
VIII they i've will they die will they strive will they dare
The. houses garlanded, flags hutter gay,
For Troop of the Guard rides forth today.
o the troopers will ride and their hearts will leap
when It's shoulder shoulder and friend to friend
But it's to tho pinnacle. some 20 the deep
And some the glow Of their strength 10 sleep
And for all its a fight TO the war; far end.
And it each his goal, turn, sway,
When a Troop Of the Guard rides forth today.

back in the deck, and after shutting he
would drop the pack on the floor face
down. and only one card, the one you
had looked at. would turn over face up!
As soon AS Uncle Fred came into the
house he little boy would run to him as
"a fly hastens to sugar
"Urcle Fred. he would say, "do some
tricks. won't you? Tell me a story,
won't you? Talk funny won't your

Then there the Awgr language. You
take Tie initial consonant, add awgr and
put it at the end Of the word II the
word begins with a vowel you just add
awgr. For instance:
"Arntawg radhawgr itlargr smlawgr
It's ceCefaWEr was ueNhaWgr "a osn0wFr
And everywhere thar Arynawgr entwawgr
The amlawgr was urshawgr 10 ogawgr
'You can use ay instead Of awgr and
make a ay language. as
"Aryma' adhay a ttlcay anlav
Then the Bonunkus language is made
by spelling thus b is bah c is kak, k is
Xix GO distinguish it from @, is fat,
& is gag. and SO on. The vowels are
unchanged. Thus:
"Mam.srars haha.dsd lal-itattat.lal.o lal
amam-bah
Itai sas faflaldouble-e.kak-e waw-a-sas waw.hah
ttate a sas sas waw, etc.
Johnny had lot of fun with the Bo-
hunkus language. and called his Uncle
Fred Unankaklaly Fafraredad and his
mamma mam-a-mam-mam-a. His ball
was bab-a-la-lal, his slate sas-laI-a-tat-e
and his marbles -bab-lal-e-sas.
And Uncle Fred had quite as much fun
out Of il. For. though he was considered
serious man in the business world. and
was president Of the Frederick c. Win
sted Iron Company. and did a million dol
lars worth Of business every year, some
thing inside of him kept young and made
him like to play with a little boy.
