WHAT KUROPATKIN WILL DO TO JAPAN.

When great Kuropatkin, so fierce and so bold, Goes swaggering forth like a Titan of old, Oh, the earth will be wrenched from its course, and the sea When he's through will spread out where Japan used to bo. Like the cyclone that ruthlessly rips up the town, Like the awful volcano that showers death down, Like the thunder and lightning he threatens to go, Leaving nothing but stains where he corners the foe. The ships of the Japs, will be strewn on the tide, He will break them in two and look at them inside; He will chew up their guns and kick over their forts, And the world will be awed when he files his reports. The blue waves will roll where the temples nowr stand On the fairy-like heights in Chrysanthemum Land, And the Jappies will soon be but airhaunting ghosts If bold Kuropatkin's an great as his boasts. — S.
