THE ABDICATION
By J. Eugene Chrisman

Old Captain Jones who used to sit
Behind the grocery stove and spit
TObaccer Juice and tell how he
Fit ole Jeb Stuart's cavalry
And licked the Rebs in every fight
That ever was-a settin' tight
Upon the box in Perkins store,
He plastered things with gobs and
gore!
Ole Capt'n happened in one night
All primed and ready for the fight
At Shilo Landing-when he stopped,
His eyes, you compre, darn near
popped,
Right from his head, he dropped his
cane,
And when de'd got his breath again
He saw his seat was occupied
By Johnny jerks from overseas.
The Capt'n snorted, thumped his cane,
Then snorted more and thumped again
His white goatee high in the air,
His eyes ablaze, his long white hair
A-standing straight out stiff behind;
But no one paid bit of mind
Peter Withers sat with mouth ajar
About a foot-or most that far,
And Deacon Haskins round his ear
Had cupped his hand SOS he could
hear
And clean forgot his rheumatic;
For right out from his chair he rig,
AS Johnny told with modesty
This bloody tale from overseas.
'Tain't much to TELL" so Johnny said
eve marched for hours on German
dead;
A-eatin' bark and drinkin' mud
And wadin knee deep in their blood.
We inhaled gas until our eyes
Was popped out inches oversize.
; The Prussian Guard was on our front
And Company B, we stood the brunt
OF fifteen German army corps;
Fought night and day until the snores
OF men a-fghtin' while they fought
Rose high and shrill above the sound
Of all the shootin there around
| saw the comrades at my side
Cut down in swathes full mile wide
We took machine guns there galore
And slaughtered ferries by the score
/ stuck so many Huns one day
| wore my bayonet half away!
And when the armistice was signed,
We'd left the rest so far behind
They marched three days a-hikin

FIND LITTLE JOY IN MANTUA
American Soldiers in Italian City Can.
not Be Accused of InduIging
in Wild Reves.

Mantua, the metropolis of the prov.
ince, is the center of the territory
which encircles it in every direction
Hither flock the country folk from as
far as five or six kilometers away, to
gaze at the vino and stand around in
the middle of the street, impeding the
progress of the trolley car.
Equally fascinating to the American
soldier is this city, with its car track,
it's air of cordial welcome, and it's in.
salubrious climate, adj of which com
bine to make him think more of the
old home town than he did before he
came here, says a writer in Italy AM
bulance Service News. 1t is not diff
fcult to find things to do, for one may
always spend quite while figuring
out when he last saw the sun, or when
he will see it again. And then one
may also look at the lake.
But 1t is at night that Mantua dis
closes it's true nature. With an elec.
trio light cleaning on every fourth
block and the comradely mist always
with you, you can start out for wild
evening. There are plenty of places
to go-all cafes. Variety is supplied
by ordering beer in one place and wine
in the next, until in a final burst of
hilarity you end up with caffe~latte
(the nadir of recklessness). By that
time it is 10 80, the shutters are up,
the waiter jingles a pocketful of cen
tessimi and looks bored, the last pa
tron has departed and the girl behind
the bar seems to wonder what secret
sorrow keeps you from home. So you
depart-via the back door, barking to
your footprints echoing upon the still
night air. The carabinieri look at you
suspiciously, a cat runs across the
black street, and you are all, oil alone
in the wicked city. You yawn and go
back to bed, filled with excitement
and beer. One night nearer home.
Mantua has many attractive fea-
lures, but the best one is the ten
o'clock train to Milan.

OLD LAW ON STATUTE BOOKS
If British Judges Were Guided by 1t
There Would Be Some Confusion
in the "IsIand Empire"

Many curious acts of parliament
still remain on the statute book, re-
marks the London Daily Mail. Every
little while these appear in the courts,
but as the British judges decide cases
more by the public interest than by
the law they cause very little trouble.
Three acts have been quoted this
week. One referred to an act of
George H., which allowed the land
lord to charge a tenant he wished
TO leave his premises double rent.
The plaintiff claimed, but lost his
case.
Another was a claim by the admir-
atty for freight on bullion carried
from South Africa on warship. This
claim was decided in favor of the
bankers, who got their freight free
owing to an act that was passed in
1919 for the purpose Of stopping the
abuse of the privilege of conveying
bullion in kings ships by the COM
mercial community.
An act that is still enforced is one
of James l., dated 1924, a Scottish
statute. It reads:
IF any mine of gold or silver be
found in any lords lands of the realm
and 1t may be proved that three half.
pennies of silver may be fined out OF
the pound of lead the lords of par
lament consent that such mine may
be the kings, as is usual Of other
realms"

Weather Signs.

People living near the seashore say
storm is 'brewing'' when the air is
salty, caused by the wind blowing
from the east
A red or copper-colored sun or moon
indicates great heat. A silvery moon
denotes clear, cool weather.
The old Indian sign of a dry month
was when the ends of the new moon
were nearly horizontal and one of
them resembled a hook on which to
hang his powder horn.
Many people troubled with rheuma-
tism and neuralgia us ually are ex-
cellent barOmeters and can predict
changeable weather by "feeling it in
their bones.'
And the advice of the old weather
sage is never go out during April
month without being accompanied by
your umbrella"
