HAVE YOU OBSERVED
That there is a certain stage in the
development of a case" when it hap
pens that if the two go out to dinner
together the young man looks unde-
cidedly at the menu and then finally
hands it to the girl and says. "Oh, you
know what 1 want better than I do.
You say what Wen have" That is
true devotion!

THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who was one of eight to chip in a
of rounds in the WiIlard-Dempsey
| fight. He drew No. and was so dis
gusted with what he thought was his
i'll luck that he sold his chance for so
cents. Then Willard lost in the third
round, and the purchaser of this mans
ticket not only got his number but
profited $3.50 worth by doing so.

THE MAILS DO HELP.
It's too hot to write today, the sun
has burned my thought away, so I'll
let you, my friends, all read some SOL
dier's first poetic deed--Here goes:
SEMPER INFIDELIS
Love the day has come for parting,
Here our ways divide,
Dry those tears know are starting;
Soon the waves I'll ride.
| Yes we've been the cInsest buddieS
| Closer than a shirt,
/ In land where only mud is,
| Mud and dirt.
Oft when aching ennui sank its
| Fangs into my heart.
! Then you shared my lonely blankets,
| Swearing ne to part
But another cross the water
! Patient, waits for me-.
| Though you cheered me thru the slaughter
| So, ma chere. did she.
True, the words the poet saith. full,
Fun of bitter gall and blight;
! Man is seldom ever faithful
When he's out of sight"
| Should you sail across the ocean,
Pillowed on my breast,
| You would wake old emotion
And disturb my rest.
| Should you reach my native city,
-, would but cause another pain,
I'd be sent with language pretty
Back to France again
! Yes, new hopes old thoughts are rousing,
Tho tits hard to tell,
| Comes the day of my de-Iousing-
i Cootie, fare thee welll
| I wish a lot of eager folks would
| please aspire to be poetic mokes,
cause things like this save me some
work. So send some more so I can
shirk. n. S. A.
