Luscious Fruits, Delicious Wines
Old Hen Cocktails And Famous Fi2zes
Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—The
proverbial land of milk and boney
had nothing on Washington today.
Luscious fruits and delicious wines,
to say nothing of Old Hen cocktail*,
Ramos Gin flzzes and cafe brule Jam-
balaya pralines, were to be bad for
the asking at the headquarters estab
lished by the delegations from San
Krancilco and New Orleans. And all
because these two cities are rival as
pirants for the exposition which It Is
proposed to hold In 1915 to celebrate
the opening of tbe l’anama canal,
j Congress bat fixed tomorrow at tbe
; day for taking a vote on tbe’ matter.
| New Orleans declares that San Fran-
j cisco la too far from the center of
population, and tha^ many persona
would be deprived of an opportunity
to vlatt tbe expOfKlon for that rea
son. In answer to this argument the
Golden Gate coma back with the fig
ures showing the great success of tbe
two expositions already held on tbe
Pacific coast, at Portland In 1904 and
Seattle In 1909.
CORN GROWERS AND
STOCKMEN MEET.
Urbana, UL, Jan. 16.—Corn growers

and school of Instruction. The gath
ering will continue two weeks. Three
lecture* n dny will be given on topics
of general interest to the farmers, and
the remainder of tbe time will be de
voted to corn Judging, farm me
chanics, live stock Judging, dairy work
and soil study.
Back up the Athens Chamber of
Commerce In all tbe good work that
It has mapped out for tbe year 1911.

O THE FIREMAN’S RETORT. *
■J. By C. R. Maloy. *
What Mr. Kipling did for “Tommy
Atkins" ts still to be done for many
other heroes In other walks.
We're only a bunch of loafers
Sittln’ around all day,
Oglin' the passln’ women,
Drawln’ our easy pay.
Ward-heelin' for the bosses,
Helpin’ them get the graft,
We’re a lovely eftwd of boozers;
They're rakin' u* fore and aft.
Good Lord! there’! the signal ringin'
Steady, boys! let 'er go—
We’re off—my God, it's a big one—
The Chief’s here already, so!
“Follow me, boys!” he's shoutin’,
You’d think he was leadin’ a dance.
Qur Chief don’t give no instruction*.
He goes first and takes his chance.
Of course u* lazy loafers
Would follow him right thro’ hell;
That’s what we're paid for doin’.
We know that all too well.
Good God! the wall’s a-erackln’
Save yourselves, If you can.
There's a crash, shes tumblin’!
They’re crashed, every one to a
man.
New take up your subscriptions,
Show ns the depth of your grief;
Let the papers blaze with petitions
For money for our relief.
Turn out In sad processions
To follow our charred remains.
We're heroes Indeed for the moment—
The fire has burnt out our stalnY
We’re only a bunch of loafers,
Sittln’ around all day.
Oglin’ the passln’ women,
Drawln’ our easy Jay.
Put when the fire’s a-ragln’.
When hell In tbe city Is loose,
We become for the day the brave
firemen.
They quit glvln' us the deuce.
Cover the Chief's Coffin with flowers,
'And dry up his orphans' tears;
Hang all sorts of contraptions
On the other poor devils' biers.
We’re thankful, friends, for your pity,
While your hero-worship lasts,
But-we'd prefer a little square dealln’
’.Midst the reformer’s trumpet
blasts.
—From Columbian Magazine, Febru
ary, 1911.
