"rHE LIBERTY BOY"

Thcre's fellow in my Comp'ny,
And he's some guy, say,
For he always gels Il letter,
Enclosing checks-more than his pay
He gets candy, cakes and dainties,
From the hometown every day;
He gets treated like a hero,
In every shape, style, form and way.
Why does he get all these dainties,
And ! none-well that's not queer,
He's a conscript-hush don't tell it,
