In his letter. Mr.. Shepard writes:
I'VE will be in France in a few days
the submarine zone thus far has been
uneventful.
Il am alive. well and happy, and feel
real risky about being a member of
Pershing's expeditionary force. 1t is
strange. being on the big news story
of the day and not being able to send a
word. Nor could 1 get the time If did
have the chance.
''Of submarines I have seen none. Per
suade the kaiser to make peace soon, or
by his bones / will live to march
through Berlin yet. We will train for a
short time In France and then go on
the firing line. OF course. I know moth
ing of future plans. Anyway. I'm proud
to be able to fight for France and
democracy, and what does 1t matter If
some Of US do not return? Still, here's

CAT TALES.
The Takers

l like to hear men talk, when
they're not selling stock, when
they can spiel off linseed meal,
of chipmunks. cheese and chalk.
But ever as | walk my soul re-
ceives a shock; the men | meet in
mart or street are selling mining
stock. / never meet a gent on
poetry intent, who knows the
dope of Scott and Pope, and is on
Shakespeare bent. All. no, the
man of guile comes with his
beaming smile, to sell me shares
and other snares and bore me for
a while. How happy | would be
if l man could see who'd talk
some time of Shelby's rhyme,
and Gray, his Elegy. To sit be-
meath a bush, far from the COIN
mad push, and talk for hours of
birds and flowers and hand 'out
soulful gush! To leave the
Changing streets, and talk of
Burns and Keats, with some glad
iay who felt that way-'twould
be the best of treats! But soul
full men don't walk with me
around block: the modern men
hate Tyre and pen-they all sell
mining stock. They all are sell
ing shares in patent folding
chairs, in mines and mills and
swamps and hills. and homes for
polar bears. They're dealing in
hot air. and little do they care
for Ossian's Tyre or Millions FIRE,
or Byron's wild despair.
