Small Traitors

Some skates are thinking
treason, and others talk the same
in due and proper season we'll
spoil their foolish game. The
governments interning some
spielers every day, who seemed to
have yearning to go the Teuton
way; our Uncle Sam will boot
them until his patience balks, and
then perhaps he'll shoot then,
with rusty nails and rocks. One
cheap and phony traitor will make
a lot more noise a-shooting off
his crater than ninety loyal boys
so when we hear one wheeling and
paving up the ground, we think
there's lots of treason a-circulat-
ing round. But when you'd count
your traitors they're mighty hard
to meet, and they have in their
CATERS the coldest kind of feet. l
often hear OF fellows who SYM
pathize with Teuts, who like to
work their bellows like traitorous
galoots; but when l go to find
them and read the riot act, to
chide them and remind them of
many loyal fact, their patriotic
manner disarms me right away ;
they love the spangled banner as
much as any jay. Dame Rumor
is so busy, so drunkenly she
swerves, it keeps fellow busy
to follow all her curves. She
points to Dick and Harry, and
says they're traitors foul; for facts
we do not tarry; at once we start
to howl. To blast mans reputa-
ton by charges idly made won't
help preserve the nation or make
the foe afraid.
