THE ONLY WEAR.
I saw a lad in khaki, in khaki, in khaki, With a braided star upon bis sleeve and a little cane to swing. .. ■, He walked down Piccadilly so proudly, so proudly, He walked down Piccadilly as though he were a king. I saw a man in khaki, in khaki, in khaki, With one arm hitched across a crutch, the other in a sling. He limped down Piccadilly so slowly, so "slowly,' He limped down Piccadilly, a poor and broken thing. ! Tet ererybody knew that he, j Though very pitiful to sec, IWas finer than a king. j-F.8., in "Pall Mall Gazette."
