The Coming ower
HOW BILL WENT EAST

a Legend Of tho Argonnuts)
Twas out in California in the days of
TortyNine,
Two Yankee mon were partners in the
Dolly Warden. mine;
And Jim was right as nincpencs, but
poor Bill began to pine.
(This is gospel, friend, Pm telling
you.)
When Bill had grown so feeble that
he'd taken to his bed,
One day he called Jim to him and
"Goodby, Old Pard," he said;
you'll havo to plant me far from
homeland then his spirit fed.
(And jim felt powerful lonely.)
jim pondered on Bil1's words, and then
at last, "By Time" said he,
Chill was the squarest partner that I
ever hope to see.
I'll plant him back in Yankeeland-
that's where he wants to be-"
(That showed some feeling, didn't
it?)
Jim tried to send Bill homewards on
Yankee sailing ship;
With Bill aboard, the sailors said they
wouldn't make the trip;
The purser wouldn't purse bit, the
skipper wouldn't skip.
CA superstitious lot, they we're J
But Jim was nothing daunted, and a
sturdy cask he found.
He put Old Bill inside it, and packed
seaweed all around;
And soon Old Bill in this disguise for
Yankceland was bound.
(This may sound fshy, but It isn't. }
That sailing ship beat round the Horn,
through storms that crossed her
She made her port in Yankeeland,
though after long delay;
And so Jim's cask in safety reached
Bills relatives one day.
(Quite Journey for Bill, too
That very day Aunt Hetty reached the
age of eighty-threc.
Her neighbors were assembled there to
hold jamboree;
They wondered what the contents of
the battered cask might be.
("I'm go curious,' remarked one
lady.)
Dear Auntie Hetty beamed on each in
quiring guest.
II Think she said, cts something
from my nephew in the West;
He used to tell of all his aunts he
liked Aunt Het the best"
("Such vanity-at her agel" whis-
pered another ledy.)
They stood and speculated as to what
the cask might hold;
I. hefted rather heavy, yet it seemed
too light for gold;
Then, "Open it, said Auntie, and they
did as they were told.
("A lot of pesky oeaweed," com
planned one man.
And there sat Bill inside 1t, Just as
lifelike as you please,
Excepting that his whiskers hung 3
foot below his knees.
81 swami" cried Auntie Hetty "Will
was always such a tease!"
(Shc didn't faint, or anythng)
Thereafter, Auntie Hctty, since she
deemed the Jest so good,
Rehearscd with many details, almost
any time she could,
How once, upon her birthday, she drew
William from the wood
(That was Yankee humor. folks.)

SPORTING NOTES OF THE WORLD
CPacific Sports Serviccl

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 3O.-There has been considerable talk about Jack Dempsey making q trip to Europe to take on some of the boxers across the Atlantic. Thus far we have been un- able to bring to mind any of the ring men over there that we'd care to bet our last seasons straw hat on. To
 really get our meaning you ought to see the aforementioned chapeau. We hope when the American cricket
 team gets back here from England
 that they won't begin telling us how
 the trophy was chucked at them by
 the Englishmen. It would be fierce to
 disturb the entente cordiale because
 of cricket
 We presume. some day or another,
 the time will come when a sports sta tician won't have to keep track of any more broken records. This year
 of 1921 has been a tough one on our
 present day chroniclers. We seem to be as far as ever from the ultimate
 of human physical achievement. Of the intersectional football games
 to played this fall, one of the most important will be that between Prince ton university and the University of Washington at Princeton, the first | time that these two teams ever will have met on the gridiron. The inter sectional game played at Pasadena each New Years day is another of the more important events, but who the competitors will be is not determined until the close of the season when an endeavor is made to get the best Pa. cific coast team lined up against the
 best produced in the east
 1t will not be long before the hand ling of the gallery" which follows to watch match between two star golf CTS will present something of prob lem. It has been so of late that this gallery" on a number of occasions has run up into the several thousand Many think that this is about the linn. it at which a crowd can be moved along smoothly without getting in the way of both itself and the players. With the growing popularity of the game these crowds are bound to in crease rather than diminish and il looks to us as if there would have to be some ground rules enacter before many moons.
 Now that the deer season is on in various sections of the country we await with resignation and due sol. | emnity the compilation of the annual toll of human lives taken by the fel- | low who doesn't take the time to be | sure there is a deer at the other end | of his rifle.

BILL BE TAKEN UP
 IN JANUARY
Fordney Announces Soldier Bonus Question To Be Considered A.t,r
 the Holidays.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15- Representative Fordney announced to day that the Soldier Bonus question would be taken up by the House Ways and Means Committee immediately af- ter the Christmas Holidays.
 Many of the States of the Union have already granted liberal bonuses to the eX-soldiers of the respective states. The Federal Government, how ever, has held back so long that most of the good that would be derived from the passage of such a bill has been lost. The American Legion has been carrying carrying on a systemat ic campaign and lobby for the passage of such a bill and have brought such pressure to bear on the Administra tion that President Harding has seen fit to change his position in regard to the matter.
 The Bill does not merely provide for a cash bonus. It contains four fold plan of compensation. One of which is a cash bonus. The others provide for paid up insurance pre- miums in the War Risk Insurance, government loan for the acquiring of a home and a land settlement. The other latter features of the bill are so liberal that a great number of men will accept one of them rather than a cash bonus.

 The assural ce of peace between Japan and the Tnited States for the next ten years as arranged by the Pacific Treaty is making the settle ment of the other issues more easy.
 The two principal issues before the Conference are said to be at a cruicaf state with varying prospects for i'm mediate settlement.
 Japan still continues to block an agreement upon the Naval Ratio to be adopted by the conference. Her con tention now is that her greatest bat tleship Mutsu be not scrapped as pro- vided in the Hughes program.
