The biggest boy has said goodbye, And gono to play his part On life's grim battlefield, and I Am lono and sad of heart. Tho biggest boy said, "Goodbye, Dad!" And "Dad" said, "Goodbye, son!" And then tho boy with head erect, Went forth his work begun. And over in tho corner there "Dad's" eyes will fall upon Tho biggest boy's now vacant chair, And miss tho boy that's gone. Tho biggest boy gulped back a sob When on his lips was pressed The little mother's goodbye kiss, When mother's hands caressed. And then ho smiled and went his way To fight and win, or die; While "Dad" and mother could but say, "God bless you, son; goodbye!" The biggest boy is in the ranks Of that great fighting band That seeks by arts of toil and peace To upbuild this fair land. And "Dad" and mother fondly hope As only parents can, Tho biggest boy will do his part, And do it like a man. Hero They Aro Clinton, 111., March 15. DeaT Mr. Maupin: I have been a reader of your articles in Tho Commoner for the past five von.. ne mnrM t enjoy them or I wouldn't read them. The men at the head of your column have become good friends of mine. j. uuuw uuey were not m the issue w,. muivju j. j. wont you please put 'em back? THOMAS J. WILSON. Here they are, Thomas. They were merely taking a vacation. The one doing tho talking was merely resting his mouth, and the other fellow was having his ears treated for concussion. They aro both good fellows, and when I told them of your friendship they were immensely t LfUomiaLnotJmow U' but when I get a letter like yours from one ?nv bf?yf ,P girls of The Commoner f,n y nffes me feel "a11 8weed Up.

If ho ia still in tho land of the living and here's hoping I wish you'd call on him and give him the kind regards of a touseled hea'ded schoolboy who used to live in the same block and used to go over to his house and revel in the delight ful books in his library. That was when he lived in Farmer City. By the way, is Clinton county still boasting of tho same old ramshackle and tumbled-down court house it had thirty or thirty-five years ago? Here's our old friends again and if they como up missing any week dur ing the next year, come in and you and I will go over to the print shop and have It out with Fred and Henry. They'll be to blame. Thank you for your kind words, and my hope is that I can do well enough in future to merit another pleasant letter from you. W. M. M.

Tho Difference In a western city recently a man was sentenced to jail for several months for obtaining goods under false pretenses. It developed that u was out ui woric, nis lamiiy des titute and no job in sight. In des peration the man went to a store and told the proprietor that ho was working at a certain place, receiv ing so much per week, and that he wanted a few groceries, for which ho would pay the following Satur day night. The merchant took the order and said he would look the matter up and if everything was all right he would deliver the goods. Then the man went out, and going into a telephone booth near by a half-hour later, called up the mer chant and represented himself to be the employer. "Just deliver the goods and I'll see that you get your money," said the jobless man, pre tending to be the employer. The goods were delivered. A few days later the deception was discovered. Arrest and conviction followed. A few months ago a number of men were elected to congress on the platform, "let the people rule." They said they were democrats. They de clared they were the employes of the people; that they would serve the people. What they wanted was some goods. ' The people delivered the goods in the shape of votes and these men were sent to congress. On March 17 twenty-three of these men stultified themselves, disgraced their party and proved themselves to be the possessors of goods fraudu lently obtained. The poor fellow who lied, in or der to keep his wife and little ones from hunger is now in jail.
