TAPS


The glittering sea has closed oTel
the bodies of two hundred American
soldiers. For them taps has sounded
the last requiem. For twenty year
more or less the American people
have gone on. peacefully progressing
uninterested In things other than thei:
own welfare. During that time the
American army was the only institu
tiion that made no progress. To our
regret be il said. the American army
became. as useless as II now will
prove efficient. But during that time,
thank God. taps was never blown for
the last time under as ominous con-
ditions as 1t sounded when its clear
notes pierced the fog on that lonely
Irish coast the other night following
the heroic rescue OF the Tuscania's
passengers. II proclaimed the last
sleep of 200 khaki clad heroes. our
boys; no one can think of it without
an intense sorrow. a prayer not only
for friends who might have been on
board. but for all. for were they not
all our boys? On their way to a
front where they knew full well death
lurked in every available stronghold,
prepared 10 meet their Maker in the
service OF their loved ones at home,
the mercIful hand Of He who wages
naught but a war OF peace and love
closed their eyes in the last bivouac,
while the tender notes OF taps were
their final lullaby. But taps carried
more than the note of an honorable
death that night. Some of the bitter
ness that ranked in the heart OF the
truhpeter must have seeped into the
silver tones. Mingled with sorrow
for the loss &: his mates must have
been the mad hate for the accursed
autocracy that sent his pals to the
bottom. Joined with the tenderness
OF fast friendship must have been the
shriekinE blast that called for re-
yenge. And as the last note died II
was the death call as we'll as a hymn
for the departed. That trumpet sound.
ed the fall OF the German Empire.
1t was heard across the seas in every
American home. 1t has brought forth
a course upon Prussianism that must
have its due. II was a symphony OF
victory. II was the herald OF the de-
struction OF the worlds greatest Grim
inal. But after all. for our 200 boys
who can never return, It was, God
keep them forevermore, just TAPS.

His hope OF the future rests in his
finally reaching perfection in the art
Of pesslmism. He lives 10 knock and
gets more pleasure out Of thinking
how beautifully a friend would look in

will recover from his illness. He is
parasite that disgusts a real man.
! We once knew a fellow who could see
no good in anything. The rain fell
only because he wanted TO go hunting
or fishing: every theater he attended
had a rotten show; every meal he ate
was all wrong; everything he bought
cost too much: every man in business
whom he had anything to do with only
existed in that business for the par
ticular purpose OF swindling him; PEG
pie did not transact business with
him because they wanted to run him
out OF town; pretty girls would not
ogle him because they were too stuck
up" a woman who was really sweet
and wholesome had to be so because
her husband was in politics: when he
got sick it was because the butcher
sold him tainted meat: the town never
would grow any bigger because the
people were a lot OF old mossbacks:
he wouldn't pay his bills because no
ad minimum. This fellow had such
sour crouch that he began to de-
velop boils. 1t got so that he couldn't
go hunting or fishing because no one
wanted to have him along. The thea
ter refused to sell him tickets because
he always went out and knocked the
show. The restaurants fed him poor
meals purposely TO get rid of his bust
ness. People charged him double
| prices for what he bought so that he
would have 20 get out of town. Every
| man in business hung II on him IL
he could just to get even for his
knocking him. People did not trans
act business with him because
they did want to run him out Of town.
Pretty girls would not even speak to
him because they thought he was a
dub and a cad. The butcher sold him
tainted meat because he made the
butcher just as sick as the butchers
meat made him. People wouldn't pay
his accounts because he wouldn't pay
them theirs. The only things that
happened in spite Of him were that
