MY SERGEANT.

My kid, they say, is a sergeant
OF a troop of strong fighting men;
Yes, he s only boy in age, sir
In years not yet twice ten;
They tell me he looks like a man. sir
And plays his soldier part WELL
And draws forty-five plunks sir,
| can hardly believe it-Oh hell
Yet, to think that my boy is a soldier
1t makes me swell up with pride
/ can hardly believe its the tyke sir,
Who once scrambled long by my side;
And my, that kid care, sir;
The LATEST boy in town -
Never would do a blame thing sir
Except when his dadRwas aroun -
And when his old man took sick, sir
Things fell in pitiable plight
The boy too weary for work, sir,
And managed to keep out of sight
The kndling cut by his mother,
The lawn trimmed by the girls
The only fit work for the boy, sir,
Was dancing the latest style whrls
The honey-bug fox-trot and bearhug
Would send him kicl1in' skyhigh;
But, the ashes,-oh leave them for mother,
She IL do it and not sigh.
And II bet two pence to farthing
When the worry of war is more,
The Sergeant will still leave for mother
His clothes all the floor
He ID quarrel with sisters and baby;
He'd even spunk up to his ma;
And in awhile the sly, sir
He'd scowl like pirate at pa.
And money, you could guess, sir
How crazy he acted with it,.
Roses for Dolly or Susie
Or other smiling young chit
They knew him-they drew him-they blew him,
And mother she put up the stuff =
And Dad, he kicked at his boy, sir,
Perhaps, little than enough.
I've kicked and kicked at his mother
For making babe out of him,
For softening up the rough edges
Which make of vim.
I've jawed and jawed at him. sir
And sometimes most in a rage;
I've told him he WASH the man. sir,
That was at his age;
But, really not a bad boy, sir,
Just a kid like we were, l guess
Much better in conduct than /
I'm sorry to have to confess
And down in my heart proud, sir,
In spite of the things l have said;
I'm in the work of soldier
Hell prove real thoroughbred.
SO join with in toast, sir,
With vain and proud old dad
A toast right from the heart, sir
A toast to my soldier lad:
Here's to the babe l trundled;
Here's to the eyes of blue;
Here's to the boy of questions
So plenty as he grew
Here's to the high school student
Here's to our dandy too,-
Attention! my kid Top Sergeant
We salute thee-solder true!"

NEW FACES FOR OLD.

The American Red Cross has under
taken varied tasks. These range from
darning the socks of the soldiers to
making new faces for those disfgured
by war. Mrs. Laid, the wife of DR..
Ladd, now doing service in Red Cross
hospitals abroad, is working in her
Paris studio making masks to cover
disfigured faces. A photograph of the
soldier showing how he looked before
being wounded is obtained and then a
mask of copper or silver is made to re-
semble 1t and replace the part that is
gone. This Is made as iifelike as pos
sible and held on, as o rule, with bows
behind the ears like spectacles. The
soldier cannot eat or sleep in these
masks, but he can see and breathe
through them. Sometimes nose IL
put on so ffelike that it cannot be de-
tected, and sometimes 1t is chin or in
rare instances almost the entire face.
This great humanitarian work enables
the victim to mingIe with people with.
out being made conspicuous or con
scious that he is being avoided.
