The Submarine.

(Bv MALT WILSON.) Ifinda moral in the lurk that eld Von Tirpitz tried to work with she:als of submarines; the underwater game is goosed, and hardly now can raise a boost from Germhun magazines. In every town there may be seen the cove who apes the submarine; and banks on covert craft. For him a liver earned by work, is worth less than a ten-bob perk, picked up by hidden graft. He loves a secret more than life—he thinks he keeps things from his wife, this cute and careful guy: he'd chew his dinner in the dark if once he thought the trick would mark his gift of being sly. He mostly wears a shrewd wise look, but does his best by ho.ok or crook, to sling a decent smile; he thinks a ready friendly hand will stop the dense blokes "in the land, from tumbling to his wile. But really, what a joke he is, this schemer with tlie solemn phiz for each old wise hard-head, who really holds a dinkum wad, byt looks an unassuming clod, reads him from A to. Z. And as the years go sailing by, the toiling steady, open guy," rolls' up a decent pile, while this tight-mouthed and subtle gent, remains a bad advertisement for getting on by guile. So, sail your boat along the top, unless you want to always stop, where no success is seen; don't work on old Von Tirpitz's lay, for sure you'll find it rotten play, the role of "submarine."
