AN ANZAC CAP.

I , (To K. S. M.) It hangs on the wall, a trilic battered, The wire is warped and the lining tatttored, And the leather dnside shows speakingly >how It's been wet with tho sweat of a soldier's brow. Month after month, through tha. fierce campaign' — The bitterest fight that was fought •im, vain— It was jammed on a,n, Anzac's lean, brenvin poll, . A 8 bo pierced ins way to a glimpse of goal J/urloivg by furlong, aye, i.rie-h hy inch, From tho sniping shot h> (ho cohlste'cV olineih— "F : sts, 'n>iigh-housl-ng,' any oU fools— Ho got liheu-e each time by 'Rafferty rules.' Till, a- shell, w/ith Jus name on. gave him a. call — And tha.t is tho talc of the cap on the wall, But til 10 sequel, though strange, i.s an equally true one— Ttis envner, thank God, is now wearing a. ii<\w onie. —Jessie Pone, in Loudon ICxprvss.
