The Well D,illers Story


Here's to s'vcll driller friend
With ud and strong back
His ways s, never mend
For his kead i, .,.i;3 ped like tack.
Here's to the we'll drillers life
All filled with water and dirt
He will never have WI
All he can do is fir,
Holes he must always punch
And work his six hour shift.
Gobble down his midnight lunch
And go to relieve the other shift.
Drill rods he must always steer
Pipes he sssf always screw.
Chug- Chus., he must always hear,
oh, he is crazies' han Jew.
Friend, once was free lad,
And just as sane as you.
A driller's story Is very sad,
For now am crazy too.

CHASTENED BY WAR
Old Travellers Find Port Said
Much Changed City.
Gateway to East Has Been Cleaned
Up and 10 Now Safe and Nearly
Respectable.

Port Said.-Old travellers come
ashore and smile sadly. New travellers
plunge into the stronghold of curio
merchants with surprise and disap-
pointment. Port Said, like the rest Of
the world, has been changed by the
war. Port Said, to be quite frank. has
been cleaned up.
Time was when brief saunter
through the ramshackle bazaar meant
a terrific battle with tOuts. Shady
gentlemen of all nationalities, most or
them known. to the police Of two con-
tinents, Piled their disreputable trades
with IMMUNITY. An incredible amount
Of rubbish was carted away by tourists
in memory of few hours stay. Muir
der was a pastime after dark, and
many sinister stories were told in the
smoking rooms of departing liners OF
Port Said's wicked inhabitants.
Now this gateway to the East Is
safe and nearly respectable. The
hand Of the A. P. NJ. has been laid In
no uncertain manner on the UNDER

Decorations eased the town Of it's In

A passport control second to none in
effectiveness keeps tight grip on the
polyglot population. Murder, even
routine robbery, which was staple
industry on steamer days, is discour-
aged by the representatives Of Brit
ish rule.
Gone, too, is the atmosphere OF
piracy and pillage maintained by
brazen guides and other varieties OF
profiteers. They were wont to seize
on amiable and inquisitive tourists
with the persistency Of leech. They
would extract money by entreat1es, ar
gument, threats, even violence.
Now the touts and trinket sellers
and ragged bootblacks approach their
prey with marked difidence. A SIN
