THERE'S A GIRL IN OUR TOWN
Who had to step pretty lively last
week dividing the time between two
very desirable beaux. An ill-luck
brought two army men into town az
the same time, and the girl, being a
wise little damosel, determined 20 play
the game in relays. One of the SOL
diers bold, an officer. was an old we'll
wisher of hers in te-bellum days
The other is a foreign officer who has
been instructing in one of the near
by camps, and who was invited up
for some parties. He remained in town
after all the others had gone back to
camp. and devoted himself pretty
energetically to the girl. He is an Of
ficer of an advanced rank, and of
course he speaks with most fetching
accent. STILL the other man has al
ways been considered a trump for any
of the girls who found him in the
deck. So what could a poor girl do
but dodge unpleasant encounters and
pursue policy of watchful waiting?
