More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
ABD-EL-KRINI

ABD-EL-KRIM
Though the future looks grim
To our friend Mr.. Krim,
We admit
AS we sit
And reflect upon him
That he put up a scrap for a couple
of years,
With his handful of sheiEs and their
daggers and spears
That inclines us to sigh,
Now his day has gone by,
For whatever his failings,
One cannot deny
That no man ever fought
More like gentlemen ought,
Or behaved himself better
When once he was caught
Than this hard riding chap
Who did not give a rap
For the foes
Who arose
On all sides of the map,
With rifles, balloons and machine
guns and planes,
While he, having nothing
But old-fashioned brains,
Stood them off
With scott
And grin and sneer-
With never a shudder
Or quaver of fear;
And not till outnumbered
BY twenty to one
Did he quit
And admit
He was done.
If he'd had half the stuff that his
enemies had
He would still be on horseback
And fighting like mad.

Eugene Black, Texas, in the house:

have some divergent views, and if we
waited until we got everything to

Such an attitude would be too mucn
