Our Jimmy has gone for to live in q tent.

He finally puckered up courage ana wents
when they grated him into the Army.
I told them the child was too young alss!

They'd train him up we'll in the infantry class
So they grated him into the Army
Oh. Jimmy, farewell; your brothers fell,
I thought Ta they y would spare a lone widows
But they grated him into the Army.
Dressed up in his unicorn. dear little chap,
They have grated him into the Army.
IL etlans but q day since he sat on my zap
But they grated him into the army.
And these are the trousers he used TO wear
Them very same buttons, the patch ana tine
put Uncle Sam gave him a brand-new pair,
when they grated him into the Army.
Now In my provisions I see him revealed.
They have grated him into the Army;
Dicket beside the contented neld.
They have grated him into the Army.
He looks kinder sickish-begins to cry.

Major. 22d Infantry Brigade.
Oh, you gloHous silver chevrons,
In your coat of virgin white.
Is 1t homer just to wear you?
1t doesn't seem quite right
To put you on our uniforms
And having you to wear,
As q symbol to the nation
That we were not "Over There"
Your color stands for purity;
Surrender. too, ween.
Why should we proudly wear you?
No reason have I seen.
'Tis true that we surrendered
Good jobs in civil life
To help our Uncle Samuel
Put down that fearful strife.
We never blew In on the draft,
But volunteered to 60
And do the best that's in US
To overcome the foe.
We did the best we knew at drill
In order to advance
Our chance for active service
On the distant shores Of France.
Bat ere the time arrived to 20.
The Huns quit in despair,
And left us in the homeland,
Our plans up In the air.
New snowy white bedecks our arms,
An honor 1t may be,
But where the honor comes in
i surely fail to see.

The Rockies Lament.

They signed me up some time ago,
And handed me a gun,
With all the other useful things
I'd need to catch a Hun.
They loaded me with bullets,
Hand greMades and such,
A regular walkin' arsenal,
Fit to capture all the Dutch.
! had the whole thing figured
Before I'd sign my name,
But they sent me to trzsKing camp
To wise up for the game.
And though they almost killed me,
Twas necessarily so.
For there l learned a lot of things
That soldiers ought to know.
All about the ways O. war
guy must understand,
So he'll know just what to do
Out there In no mans land.
And when finally / was ready,
Had the thing well learned clear through.
They told me I'd be leaving soon
70 cross the briny blue.
SO sat and wrote the home folks,
And told them / was gOin',
And promised them the war would end
IL we ever got shOwin'.
1 said ia send some souvenirs.
I'd steal the kaiser's pearls
And send them to Ordelia,
Just to spite the Jones' girls.
A lot Of stufr for NAV and paw,
A ring for sister, too,
And lots Of trinkets for the kids
From the places / went through.
And 90 / mailed the letter.
Packed all my stun with care,
Got all my plans well settled
For tie fireworks, foul or fair.
And just then something happened,
The kaiser got At,
And all his boards Of fighting men
Just laid dowE and quit
And that's the reason why I'm here
Instead Of ON some ship
Now, amt it disappointin',
Col hing 1t and gosh burned,
Net to even get a chance
To show e6 what I've learned7
IIt, shueks. I'm going home next week.
And guess faint no harm,

And help paw on the farm.
And hnaybe all the STUFF I learned

Music, the Charmer.

Many of the men who are with us
today, and have been in this camp
Tor the past few months have had
the opportunity to hear and enjoy
the best music that can be procured.
some have taken advantage Of the
secession and in consequence have
learned that music is one of the great
est sources of cheer aand gladness
In the world.
But, sad to say, great many have
felt that the concerts given by visit
amg artists were only for those who
were OF q musical makeup and could
understand. Others felt that the
events that had the most "jazz" were
the things for them to attend. and so
neglected to support the famous
people who have been here.
Now the point to bring forward is
that to thousands of men who never

And leave the Yanks to face the foe.

1t ran into dugout near,
AND then the Yank yelled, loud and clear,
Your statement 1 defy.
Come into this dugout with me,
And 'twon't be long until see
Frenchman on the run"
As near the dugout they appear
They see German lurking near,
And catch the reckless Hum
Good heavens! what an awful scent
Their nostrils did assail.

And. bursting out, slammed shut the door.

Soon through the door the rreachman came.
Unmindful Of the vaunted fame
That Frenchmen never run,
With bursting lungs, no thought or care
Except to breathe In Gods pure air
And skunks and Huns to shun.
Then French and Yank stared in surprise,
For right before their very, eyes
The skunk bounds into view.
