IN OUR TOWN.

IT'S hard for us to realize that war is
daily roaring, that every minute
= some one dies, that blood in rlls is
pouring, Things go along the same
old way as they've been going always (;
the lawyers climb, day after day, their
grimy stairs and Railways. The little
boys are playing ball, as are the larger
fellows; and in the muSty music hall
the public speaker bellows. The mcr-
chant prince is after kale. as though
there were no battles, and now he
springs a bargain sale of stoves and
baby rattleS. The mayor cries, Take
the trash away" which scheme the
town indorses; Jim Billings runs his
yellow dray, and whales his lazy'horscs.
The idle rich, the upper crust ride by
in costly motors, and throw their clouds
of choking dust on tired and plodding
voters. The candidate proceeds to
chew his rag in old time manner, and
tells how much he'd gladly do, to save
our threatened banner. The school
marin makes the children hum, and
plies her trusty ruler the peelers pinch
the passing bum, and file him in the
cooler, The tightwad's clutch upon his
dime pale death alone can sever; oh,
things go on, in this stern time, about
the same as ever
