flcient vegetables this season to supply
its own needs.
Maj. Pullman. superintendent of police,

stated that within the past two months
two people in the suburb had been killed

The Stacker

It's most unpleasant to be shot,
or slashed up with sword; when
battle RACES, loud and hot, the
tiuhorn man is bored. His neigh
bors gallop to enlist, all eager
for the fray. "I'll stay at home"
he says, Il wist; have no wish
to slay." And while the war IS
going on, and brave men sternly
fight, he loafs at ease upon his
lawn, and sleeps in bed at night:
He's thankful that the stress and
strife are far removed from him,
that he can lead a peaceful life IN
times that are so grim. But when
the battles all are done, and peace
is here again, and from the scenes
of triumphs won return the tight
ing men, when to their homes the
heroes jog, with laurels on each
brow-oh, happier a yellow dog
than is the Stacker now! From
dangers path | was exempt the
Stacker oft hath said, but now
men view me with contempt
would that / were dead! | would
that | had sought the scrap, and
sailed in, hit or miss; and If
they'd shot me off the map, 'twere
better far than this!" Ere you
succumb to craven fears, to dread
of strife and pain, think, think Of
all the future years and of the
worlds disdain!
