uncommon for garbies to lie around q
while between enlistments-they like
a vacation as much as anyone-and It
was my intention to loaf for q few
months before Joining the navy again.
After the war started, Of course, I
had heard more or less about the Ger

I was greatly interested, was doubt
full at flrst as to the truth Of the re-
ports. for knew how news gsts
changed in passing from mouth to
mouth, and I never was much Of .

caused mo to be interested In the war
was the fact that my mother was born

William Jennings Bryan tells this
story:
"A farmer told me that soon after
he moved from the country into little

him to sign petition for saloon in
his town, and he said: No, I won't
sign it, and the man said, 'Whyr He

for license had had many objections
made to signing petition, but never

improved trade, don't your Yes, SIR
Well, now. II that saloon will do what
you say 1t will do. II 1t will bring trade
