Why didn't I waij to be drafted, And be led to the train by a band, And put in a claim for exemp tion, Ob, why did I hold up my hand? Why didn't I wait for the ban quet? Why didn't I wait to be cheer ed? For ihe 'drafted men get the credit, -While I merely volunteered. Aod nobody gave me a banquet, And nobody said a kind word; The grind of the wheels of the e-igine, Was all the good-bye that I heard.

And may be some day in the future, When my^little boy sits on my knee, And ask what I did in the con flic!; And his little eyes look up to me, I will have to look back as I'm blushing, To the eyes that so trustingly peer, Ard tell him I missed being drafted?

When he discovered his loea he hurried back to the place where he had stood while removing a bill from the wallet, thinking he might have dropped It there. And as he rounded the corner and came in sight of the spot he saw a newsboy stoop over and lift the heavy purse out of the gutter. "That's mine," he cried, running up, "that's mine! Look at the ini tials, boy ? they're stamped in the leather. X. Y. Z. D'ye find them there?"
