THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
The Colonel' lanint
jjay the jest about the julep in the cam
phor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened, and the
olden days are past!
That which made Milwaukee famous does
not foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight
locked as can be;
j.nd the comic-paper Colonel and his
cronies well may sigh,
Tor the mint is waving gayly, and the
South is going dry. ,
By the still-side on the hillside in Ken
tucky all is till,
And the only damp refreshment must be
dipped up from the rill.
Nawth Carina's stately ruler gives his
soda glass a shove,
And discusses local option with the So 'th
Ca'lina guy.
It is useful at the fountain to be wink
f ul of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and the
South is going dry 1
It is "water, water, everywhere, and not
a drop to drink! "
We no longer hear the music of the mel
low crystal clink:
"When the Colonel, and the Major, and
the Gen'ral, and the Jedge
Meet to have a little nip, to give their
appetites an edge;
For the egg-nog now is nogless, and the
rye 'has gone awry,
And the punch bowl holds carnations, for
the South is going dry!
All the nightcaps now have tassels, and
are worn upon the head!
Not the nightcaps that are taken when
nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the blue-grass is as
solemn as is death,
For it bears no pungent clove-tang on
its odorific breath;
And each man can walk the chalk line
when the stars in the sky,
For the fizz-glass now is fizzless, and the
South is going dry!
Lay the jest about the julep 'neath the
chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moonshine,
and the older days are past,
The water wagon rumbles through the
Southland on its trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to pick up
the driver 's whip ;
For the mint beds now are pastures and
the corkscrew hangeth high;
All is still along the still-side, and the
South is going dry!
fflame'a Clirlatmna Tree
Some few years ago while I was on
m7 way to catch a train in the down
town district of New York I was caught
in a heavy shower and stepped under an
awning where I was shortly joined by a
boy dragging a Christmas tree larger
than himself. He was accompanied by
a mongrel puppy who seemed , to have a
Proprietary interest in the trophy. I
said "Hello Kid, I see you're going to
have a Christmas tree' to which he replied
"Aw, go on, this ain't for me, its me
sister Mamie, aint it, Jimmie?" The
dog responded by jumping up and wag
ging a tail as long as a rabbit's. It was
not hard to draw the little Christmas
comedy from the pair
Jimmie and me
Has a swell Christmas Tree
Staked and hid out in the way
Jimmie 's me pup
But you gamble he's up
And that he stands in on the play.
We 're going to buy
All the prettiest things
That a fellow can find on Broadway
And we '11 give little Mame
That's me. sister's name
The whizz of a Christmas Day
The kid an't so peart
Since the day she got hurt
But she's game and don't never cry
That 's why me mazoo
Is down in me shoe
And not spent f er no doughnuts or pie.
We're gom' to rastle
The prettiest things
That's Jimmie and me
And no Avenoo kid
Can come in for a bid
Or a peek at my Maine's Christmas tree.
Her stockin's too small
And it won 't do at all
To hold all the tings on dat night
But dere's one of me mudder's
Dat beats all the others
And filled up will look out of sight.
Me mudder onct said
Course 'fore she wuz dead
That she'd look down on Mamie and me.
I hope from her place
She can see dat kid's face
When my Mame gets a peek at de tree.

Dr. J. S. Brown, the distinguished sur
geon from Montclair, who has for some
years been a familiar figure in the vil
lage, and who has recently completed a
Winter home near the links, was called
into the service almost immediately upon
the American mobilization. With the
rank of major he was put in charge of
organizing the surgical work at camp
Gordon at Atlanta. He has been on de
tail there in command of this vital busi
ness since the troops were called out.
Under his direction surgical cases among
these 18,000 to 30,000 troops have been
so efficiently handled that only one case
has been lost to date. Last week he re
turned to the village on leave for a
necessary rest, and will spend the next
few weeks in his bungalow.
