ONLY A VOLUNTEER
TURNS TO POETRY

The following poem has recently
been received by The Republican, and
as it puts the viewpoint of the Volun
teer in a rather convincing manner
this paper is glad to publish it, The
poem was sent from Camp Kearney:
why didn't | wait to be drafted
And be led to the train by band
And put in my claim for exemption
Oh, why didn't | hold up my hand?
Why didn't | wait for the banquet,
Why didn't | wait to be cheered?
For the drafted men get all the credit,
While | merely volunteered.
And nobody gave me banquet,
Nobody said kind word;
The puff of the engine, the grind Of the
wheels
Was all the good bye that | heard.
Then off to the training camp hustled
To be trained for the next half q
year.
And in the shuttle forgotten
| was only volunteer.
And perhaps some day in the future,
When my little boy sits on my knee
And asks what | did in this great war,
And his little eyes look up at me.
| will have to look back in those eyes
That at me so trustingly peer,
And tell him | wasn't drafted
! was only volunteer"

Fred S. Breen yesterday. They are of
the opinion, and rightly, too, that the

be permitted to let others do this
work
we are hearing from Arizona slack
ers all the way from San Francisco to
Ell Paso and from every section of the
state" added Col. Breen. They are
being detained at numerous places and
the rewards of $50 for each one have
been claimed for their apprehension.
Every man of the third contingent
that left the entraining points in Ari-

ports received. Extra contingents have
been sent forward from Yavapai and

OWL IS DAYLIGHT COWARD

There are about two hunt red kinds of owls. Some are tiny owls; some are big eagle owls, 2S inches in length very fierce and strong ready to attack a man who goes near, able 10 kill fawns and large game birds and to do battle with the golden eagle. The eour- age of one of these golden owls de serts it in the daytime, and then little birds, led by crow, may find it and drive it into the open and tease and worry it without danger to themselves But when night comes. and. the bird can see, only q mighty eagle dare do battle with it.

May we be forgiven If we leave you for an hour?"
 Accord was graciously given. l saw Mary Rothway glance nervously at Doctor lmmanuel as he approached the door. the last of the party He saw the glance and rightly interpreted it. Mary was afraid that he would shut the door. And it was indispens- able that the door should be closed, lest O'Farrell's very hearty tones should reach her ears.
 Doctor Immanuel turned back and placed his hand upon her forehead, so quietly, in so professional manner, that she seemed at once to meet him in the relation of patient to doctor.
 q am going to close the door. Miss Rothway," he said. But you will not mind. You will not mind?" The last sentence was a question. but the first was a command.
 "No," she replied, quite placidly, q shall not mind, of course, Doctor I'm manuel"
 And we went out and. as we reached AlAC iAbiuIg dOOl5 NC lCNAu V | oii Nii waiting for us. He had come in at the precise moment when he should have arrived It seemed as though fate were playing into Immanuers hands But OFarrell greeted us with an unmis- takable scowl. It was evident that he was in no mood for hearing any more upon the subject of the reincarnation theory.
 But Doctor Immanuel did not ride his hobby that evening. Instead he joined the group around the pleasant fireplace and proved himself as lively an entertainer as could well be imag ined. He talked of his work, of his country, of the condition of Greece to- day in comparison with her state at the epoch of her past splendors, and so led up the conversation insensibly to Greek and Roman art.
 By the way, MT. OFarrell," he said presently, have you ever noticed the singular resemblance between your self and the statue of Maximius in Mr. Tarrant's gallery?"
 Indeed 1 have" answered the cap tain, laughing, "I presume that that chap was an earlier incarnation of my own" He had, in fact, not only recov- cred his good humor under the doc tors skillful handling, but had become almost boisterously good-tempered and boyish.
 All the same" said Doctor I'm manuel ironically, q wouldn't like to see you in Maximius clothes."
 Why not?" inquired O'Farrell.

face by a strategy in the hope of recon cling them. If you fail-well. you have done your best and have nothing to reproach yourself with And if you succeed-poor O'Farrell!
 ''Ill do it!" exclaimed Tarrant, starting toward his desk. I'll write OFarrell a note at once asking him to drop in on Friday about nine o'clock for q smoke. And I'll keep the women folks in the drawing room. I know Mrs. Tarrant will be glad to help in the plan; only they must keep the door closed and not let the sound of their voices reach us below here"
 Then" said Immanuel. you may leave the rest to me"
 On the following Friday evening we dined with the Tarrants and their two women guests. Mrs Rothway was a charming woman of rather old-fash, toned type little worldly, and frank ly sorry at her daughters choice. Mary. however, attracted our attention at once and held it during most of the dinner She was a tall, statuesque brunette of striking beauty, and l could we'll imagine how. in the garb of a vestal virgin or a Roman matron. she would present completely the illu- sion of having stepped out of the gal leries of history into the world of to- day. She was witty. too, and seemed to be in a gracious and friendly mood I raw here no trace of the neurasthenic at least, not until we rose to go up stairs to the drawing room, and, when we entered the rather dim passage. Mary shrank back suddenly and clutched at the jamb of the door. Doc tor Inmanuel cast a significant glance at me. and then. without word of explanation. he placed his hand gently upon the girls arm and, with slight but unmistakable gesture of command. he led her to the stairway. Once there. Mary Rothway seemed to recov- CT her self-possession: she withdrew her arm from the doctors grasp and, with quiet dignity. she aseended in the wake of her mother.
 Now. Mrs Rethway," said Tarrant. when we were seated, T shall have to ask your very kind indulgence. and Miss Mary's also. for about an hour These gentlemen and l have most important engagement-one. ] need hardly say, which occurred at the last moment and is absolutely unavoidable.

Because, my dear fellow, for all your fine physique, you couldn't begin to compare with the old Roman hero in development. And as to wearing the kind of armor that he wore-like that old antique suit in the corner of the gallery, for instance-why. you would faint under the weight"
 m take yof up there. doctor" said OFarrell, laughing. Those chaps hadn't the development of our folks Why, there are 20 men I could name, and not athletes either, who could wear old Max's armor-yes, and fight all day in it, too'
 You'll have to show me-" said Tar rant, deftly taking his cue. "Ill wager you a box of cigars you can't put on that armor and stand up in it.''
 Hold. there!" cried Doctor Im- manuel. That isn't enough. Anyone could stand up in it, if somebody put it on his shoulders. Wager him that he can't put it on and run upstairs to the drawing room"
 l saw Tarrant vince sligtsly.
 All right" the captain answered. 'Is that agreed. Tarrant? box of fifty? Come, then lead the way into your gallery" So We went in.
 The resemblance was really an as tonishing one. It struck us all, even O'FarTell. The statue was life-size. and ite measurements were those of the captain to a line. The face was the same, too. and the hair fell for. ward oy r the temple in the same way. When 0'Farrell divested himself of his coat and waistcoat, preparatory to put. ting on the armor, the muscles on his great arm might have served as the original from which the statue was cast
 "Immanuel," said the captain, I'm half converted And he spoke seri- ously "Tell me something about this chap beside me. He was a soldier too?"
 "A good soldier and fine man." an swered the doctor But little indis- erect"
 Then he must have been me. .'' roared O'Farrell. for I'm all that and more"
 The suit of armor was of Byzantine workmanship. apparently dating from the eighth century. Nevertheless. it | was not markedly different from that worn by the Roman officers of earlier days. When we had placed the breast
