The Conuueror Sails,

The only foreign soldier who ever
captured all of the United States is
evacuating today with his spoils.
He has ended a campaign wider in its
geographical stretches than the great
terrain Of his European victories. Night
and day. in forced marches, Giving off
the country" he has spread his con-
quest Of a non-resisting people. Never.
even before the mightiest onslaughts of
reception committees. spellbinders and
chefs, has he lowered an arm or an
eyelid. "The best defense is attack
has been an aphorism as useful on the
banquet front as on the western.
He sails away with better booty than
ever a conqueror before had pressed
upon him by the captured and capti-
waited. Swords. batons, university de-
grees-and memories. These last, we
fancy, will be the most treasured of all
home gardens for contemplation in the
sunset years.
Goodbye, Marshal Foch, and come

to the standard Of the men it sent

In days gone by old Santa Claus
Unto my home came round.
Inspiring mid the great applause
Parental thought profound.
Old Santa made the children i'll
And 30 with grief intense,
They had to add a doctors bill
To holiday expense.
We paused, the whiskers to admire
Which grew on Santa's face;
But in some manner they caught fire
And most destroyed the place.
And father murmured. as forthwith.
A bunch Of cash he loosed,
"Dear Santa, you're the busiest myth
That history has produced!'

"There seems to be no practical
penalty for the bootlegger."
"Wen," replied Senator Sorghum;

progress whom nations take more
pride in their conversational powers
than in their fighting abilities.
