I'm sitting here athinkng
or the things I've left behind
I'd hate to put paper
Just what runs through my mind.
I've dug a million trenches
And cleared ten miles of ground
And meaner place this side Of hell
1 know 1t can't be found.
But there is one consolation,
Gather closely while tell,
For when die, I'll go to heaven,
For I've done my hitch in hell
I've built hundred kitchens
For the cooks to stew slum
I've stood a hundred guard mounts
And soldiered in the sum-
I've washed million mess kits
And peeled million spuds
And strapped a hundred thousand blanket rolls
And washed a million duds
The number of parades I've made
Is really hard to tell
But won't parade in heaven
For I've done my hitch in hell
When the final taps is sounded
And lay aside my cares;
And do my very last parade
Right up the golden stairs
The angels III bid welcome
And the harps will begin to play
And I'll issue a million canteen checks
And spend them in day.
And then old st. Peter

This thought should be firmly held in
mind by all classes of our citizens-that it
isn't the skillful promiser who produces
lasting and beneficial results but the sub
stantial man who goes about his labors de-
hberately, with well defined plan, and
gets results.
Whenever the public decides to open its
purse strings to improvements the skillful
promiser is on the job painting rainbows
and talking Utopia.
1t is to be regretted that in the past some
OF them have succeeded in fooling the pub
lie into giving them authority-but IN
every instance they have proven sad dis
appointments.
Their dreams have been for them the
