THE TENNEY SERVICE.

There is q curious trolley line
That runs in old Vermont;
u claims to run in rain or shine
And always do its stunt.
It adyertises very large
And calls lis service Tenney's,
And for trip It makes a charge
OF thirty honest pennies.
But let me tell YOU what think.
And IL is common sense;
That service drives a man to drink
And costs him thirty cents,
The people like the man who fools them,
So Barnum wisely said,
And that is why that Tenney cools them
At thirty cents a head.
Two hours was the time in al
We spent upon a siding,
In going 10 the capital,
And half an hour in riding.
They said a car WAS of the track
Somewhere adown the line,
And thought they soon would get II back
And have II running fine.
But stars rose up and sank TO rest
And still no ear appeared.
We cracked old jokes and sang our best
And everyone was cheered.
Our sport from Eastern avenue
Was full Of noise and prattle
And asked a drovzy friend he knew
To let him hold his bottle,
The friend appeared to understand
Yet did not acauiesce;
But Sripped his bottle in his hand
For reasons you can guess.
The squire declared he was athiBt
And bleated like a lamb;
His voice through all the chatter bunt
How dry, how dry / am"
job had no better right to scod
For all his sores and scars.
Than we who shiyered in the cold
To ride in TenneyB cars,
The road is hard TO future bliss
And full Of iolts and jars,
But let the vilest sinner miss
a ride in Tenneys cars.

MORE PROOF OF THE 10Th DIvIS-
IONS PART IN WAR.

A short time ago we had the detached
statement Of casualties suffered by the
26th division, which went TO show that
the division from New England had gone
through some of the hardest fighting of
the war. Now we have the comparative
statement of the losses sustained by the
30 combat divisions and we have cor
roboratiye evidence chat the New Eng,
land men were engaged in some Of the
most fierce battles ever fought Only
seven divisions sustained more casualties
than did the goth, and, of the seven, four
were divisions of regulars and three were
divisions Of national guard troops But,
severe as were the casualties of the New
England men, it is not correct to say that
the division was shot to pieces, as the
total killed, died of wounds, prisoners
and missing was only approximately one.
tenth of the strength of the American di-
vision. 1t is probably true, however, that
some Of the units of the division may
have been more nearly wiped out than
the figures of the division as d whole
would indicate. That may account for
some Of the stories brought back by a
few soldiers of the division.

The Mortified and Barre part of the

q minute that any member of the Yer

gust organization and run up the red flag

Evidently the war is not over; and the
appearance of an armistice was but a
sham and delusion Anyway, there are
no casualties, for which one should b.
duly thankful.

New York, Nov. 18th. The enthusi-
asm with which New York welcomed the
Prince of Wales showed no signs of abate-
ment today. The crowds who jammed
the downtown streets when the Royal
visitor stared on his sightseeing,
through the financial districts, were even
denser than those which greeted him on
his arrival Yesterday and a bitter north
wind failed TO discharge the hundreds of
thousands who waited patiently for
hours TO catch a glimpse of the Prince.
Everywhere he went huge crowds cheer
ed him to the echo, giving him a recep-
ton as even New York has rarely if ever
witnessed before.
