The term, 'boskertime," which the Illustrations use to describe cheerful leave, comes home to it's birthplace, little altered. "Bosky." with a, similar meaning, was in English colloquialism in the eighteenth century. And "bos- Ky" is still current slang with us, but implying too generous use of the wine cup. There Is one phrase in the book of slang which is decidedly pleasing, Australian grip" It stands for that best of greetings, the honest, hearty hand shake.

THE VOLUNTEER.

This good poem comes to the Pu-
laskian from Carl w. Clay, U. S. Ma
val Station, Palham Bay. New York
Why didn't | wait to be drafted
And be led to the train by a band,
Or put in claim for exemption
Why didn't / throw up my hand?
Why didn't | wait for the banquet?
Why didn't wait to be cheered,
Twas the drafted men got all the
credit,
Not those who had just volunteered.
Nobody gave me banquet
Nobody spoke a kind word
The puff of an engine
And the grind of the wheels
Was all the goodbye that heard.
Then off to the training camp hus-
tied
To be drilled for the next half year
And in the big scufe forgotten
For | was plain volunteer.
Perhaps at some time in the future
When my little boy sits on my knee
And hears what I did in this conflict
While his searching eyes look up to
me,

In words that are truthfully clear
| never was feted--nor drafted
was only a plain volunteer.

Dear Mother and Dad:
It seems like soldering back in the

knew that there was a war going on.
but now I realize that there has been
a war once upon time. I sure think
I'm lucky. I got through without
scratch, was right up there when she
stopped. We were only thirteen
miles from Metz
We are now back of the lines in a
German training camp The news
now, is that we will be one of the four
divisions to come back to the States.
Of course I'm proud to know | got
through alright, besides wouldn't take
anything for my trip. It certainly was
trip worth taking, believe me, and l
feel like I've done my bit. How are
things going on? How is Lady and
everything at home. I'm getting a lit
lie homesick now since the noise from
the guns has ceased. Don't think l
ever wanted to get letter any worse
in my life. Have never heard from
you all since l left Camp Pike.
What are the boys doing? Are they
both at home? Tell John to prepare
himself for work, for when | come
home I'll almost work him to death.
I'm well trained in walking.
There is something l have not men,
toned want you to do me favor.
Order me a crate of concentrated I've
and have a dipping vat filled with boil
ing water, for I'm as lousy as a
hog. Mamma, I know you as aston
all have them. l guess you would
laugh to see all of us lined up in the
sunshine looking for coolies. Do you
ever hear from Ed Flynn? I've writ
ten to him several times. When | get
back in the States l can teach you
new way to pillow. l haven't seen two
horses hitched to a wagon since I've
been here, except ours. They have
two-wheeled carts they put two ore
more horses to, but put one in front

watch them plow always one horse IN
