Ny car is made of zinc. my car is

on my way, as any wealthy gink.
My home is but a shack, wood
shed at the back; but when Pm
there 'twould make you stare to
see how high | stack. Ny watch
is built of tin, and has punk works
within: it is crime, but keeps the
time, the while | toll and spin. My
duds are ready made; | see the col
ors fade; but still l spring smile
and sing-the clothier has been
paid On liverwurst l dine. and |
am feeling fine; the goods you see
belong to me, and they are truly
mine. No creditor appears with
caustic taunts and sneers, to get his
plunk or have my junk sold by the
auctioneers. No sheriff comes with
writs to scare me into fits; no
bailiffs wait around my gate to bone
me for six bits. I'll have a limou-
sine some day, and mansion green !;
some day I'll shine in raiment fine,
silk hat on my bean. Some day
I'll have a clock that none will dare
to mock; some day I'll eat such
costly meat twill make the neigh
bors talk. But | won't cut this ice
until l have the price: and so in

Special Instructions.

Recruiting officers of the Army
have been instructed in special orders
to use their best efforts toward "the
re-enlistment of the greatest possible
number of men who are to be dis
charged during the current year"
and they are reminded that "a cafe
fully planned system of recruiting in
each command should secure a ma
terial increase in the number of re-
enlistments."
1t is stated that no man qualified
for re-enlistment who Is discharged
should be permitted to leave his
station until he has been intervie we ed
personally by his company com
mander with a view of having him
re-enlist in his former organization
and. If he does not choose to do so,
that he be fully advised of opportu-
mites for enlistment in other organi-
cations.
Such re-enlistments are of the ut
most value to the service" the circu-
lar says, and their number indicates

Zation."
