But geed for haw and hawed for gee And went contrary generUy. The darnedest mules you ever see. If both had geed when it was haw,; While that ain't Just exactly law, It would of worked out purty good, If orice the thing was understood And they done what you thought they would. But not these two. If old July, When you yelled "gee," to gee would try, . Old January, 't other one, Observin what July had done, Would start to hawin' on the run. So gee and haw and haw and gee, But never simultan'ously, They went through life, and kicked more' dirt And done less work and done more hurt Than two hyenies, I assert And I've seen f blks just like them mules, I Who wed, but never read the rules. Who didn't know you had to wear The marriage collar fair and square And pull together everywhere. One can't have haw and one have gee : To gee or haw, you must agree. And then go forward, gee or haw, Accordingly, without no jaw And that's good sense, and that's good law. (Copyright) DAYS t THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "BLIGHTY." 0 i THE number , of slang words and phrases which have slipped into the. language by rea son of the Babel which resulted when men of many nations gath ered in the great melting pqt of the allied army is a long one, but one of the most typical is "blighty" the English collo quial equivalent for "home." Prior to the commencement of the recent great World war the majority of the British army was stationed in India and much of their slang consisted of words and phrases adapted from the language of the, na tives. "Belalt" is a common In dian name for England, and, as if to add another parent to the ancestral tree of "blighty," the inhabitants of Hindustan speak of "home" as "bhilatL" The similarity of the two expres sions naturally impressed the British soldier, and lt was not long before he corrupted them into "blighty" using , it as a noun when he referred to his native soil and as an adjective when lie wanted to express something connected with his return. A "blighty wound," therefore, meant an Injury se rious enough to necessitate be- ing UOUi uwu.!- vv uauu. . j While the word failed to ' gain great popularity among the American soldiers, it appeared J with considerable frequency in stories and reports from the front ana win aouDiwss De usea, far more widely than before.
