Oh, they miss the Yanks iu Europe, Now the war is o'er and done; While the rest were busy fighting, 'Twas the Yank who got the fun. And the memory of his presence Lingers over every trench ; For the Yank was mighty busy With his little monkey wrench. He unscrewed the steering knuckles Of the finest ship of state ; He removed the ancient hinges He unfastened all the latches From the dungeon on the weir ; And he gathered crown and scepter To send home —a souvenir. There were mam* sacred relics Fell before his trusty tool, As he opened up tradition, As he learned to do in school. That were moulded 'neath a stone, And he put a parcel postage Stamp on many a sainted bone.

" That's nothing," piped up Gil Parker of the house committee, " I saw aii even more" exciting rescue than that. A large hotel was burning furiously, and a girl appeared :it an upper window. She was an attractive maiden, and we didn't want to see her pass out, so we hit on a plan to rescue her. " I stared, the firemen stated, the policemen stared.' Iu fact everyone stared so hard that fiually the girl walked down the stairs to safetv." i j§

Me was a cub reporter. His first assignment was a tiling of delight to every newspaperman. It was to walk sixteen miles from one precinct to another, talk to garlic fed politicians, and return as late as possible with an estimate of the vote for a jackrabhit edition. The cub came-in all excited over his success. He was told to pound off the returns, as he had them, for a box estimate on the frontpage. When he had finished he had a 'neatly tabulated list of the candidates. But the returns looked baseball score. It took the staff two hours to find out the answer, but they finally solved it and finished the edition. The cub's story read: Smith l± Jones almost I, Johnson 0 2 1 but didn't,- Bpp'Wn 0 2 1 2 but lost out. > , I
