Fire Greatest Robber
of the Human Race.

The burning up of. goods or wealth
robs the human race of its treasures
1t turns just 80 much human en-
ergy, toll and sweat into nothing
ness. If all the wealth in the world
were burned up nobody would nave any
thing If half the wealth were burned
up everybody would be half as we'll off
as before. Yet many people do not real
ize that they help sustain the loss in
every fire that destroys property.
Many people do not realize that they
have sustained definite fire loss at
the end of every year whether or not
any of their individual property has
been destroyed by fire, during that
time. and regardless of the question of
insurance. But such is the case as
every thoughtful person can figure out
for himself. Everybody pays the fire
tax which is tackled on to the high cost
of living.
Fire is the greatest enemy of human
wealth. Pirates and robbers take away
wealth but spend it again 1t is not
lost to the race, but merely to the
owner. Fire takes away from the
owner, from the human race and from
the face of the earth. IL is wiped out
forever. Southern Construction News.

The National Guard
on the Border.

It's not that we are whining
Or seeking wordy fight.
It's not for empty boastlng
That we sit down here to write;
It's not that we are sorry
That we stand for the flag.
It's not that we are boasttul
AS We re not made to brag.
The thing that hurts our feelings
And gets us out OF tune
IL that we are low rated
And Judged all too soon.
Why not give US credit
For the little that We do?
For even if we're guardsmen
To the colors we are true.
We're here to serve the people
And fight the best we know
But we know with the regulars
We're considered rather slow.
But we're sons of Uncle Sammie
And true to his cause
And came to help his regulars
Uphold the nation laws.
We left our homes behind us.
Our heart. our soul, our all.
And came down to the border
When we heard the nation call.
Our lives We'll give the Union,
Well fight like blazes. too.
Ii the greasers keep on foolng
With the old red white and blue.
Civilian. you would Judge us?
Why didn' you join the guard?
Your backbon : soft and yellow.
Your skull is thick and hard.
Your hands might get too dirty.
Your bosom, white with starch.
Would wither like your carcass
If a few miles you should march.
But stay at home YOU girlie.
And We'll fight for you.
For you We not got the manhood.
To protect the spangled blue.
But take good fair warning
Before it is too late
If you We hard words for guardsmen
Better wipe EN- off your slate.
