"LEMAC"
A lot of the tappers have never known
The sight of a massive home,
With the beautiful paintings and
works of art
Like the wonderful halls of Rome
And ? Well, I'm but a common bloke
And have lived but a common life;
I never have roomed on Richman's
row
And missed all the common strife.

But the other day I stood at awe
In a handsome, spacious house;
As I twirled my hat with my eyes as
keen
As the headlights of a mouse.
Ah! The. beauty, and the touch of
wealth,
The magnificence galore, . .
The draperies, the Bearskin rugs,
A Camel on the floor.
That Camel! How I mused upon
Its life as there it lay;
I could seem to see the desert and
The scorching sun of day.
And here, upon the polished floor
To be trampled on by all,
It lounged and seemed to say to me:
"Come take me from this hall."
Resist? Ah, no. the call was for
Ta great for even me;
So I snuck it out the door and
As fast as I could flee.
fled
I finally stopped to lamp the beast
A trifle used but neat;
Then I lit it, drew a drag or two
And walked on up the streer.

At this Juncture, R?ggie, Jr., in an

and the sugar bowl, overturned the

of this Mrs. Snooper .turned pale and
registered a corking faint.
Three minutes later, after the tra
ditional dash of cold water, Mr. Snoop
er's better half regained consciousness
and declared a state of war would
soon be brought about by a man
dressed In a soldier's helmet and a
military mustache. Glancing ut the

announced Austria's declaration of
war on sad behalf of Serbia; thereby
confirming the tea groundb-catsup
premonition of several evenings back.
Current conditions proved aggre?
slve to Snooper's sense of inter nation
al justice and he packed his soldering
torch and monkey-wrench In a tin
traveling bag preparatory to a Jaunt
to Washington. R. T. (Note: The
"D. C." which has hitherto followed
the name, "Washington," will hence
force be entirely done away with
The "R. T." stands for "Red Tape'
and strikes the ed. as being much
more appropriate.) And with the
stony countenance conducive of dc
termination, and which snappy story
writers consistently snap about when
sending their heroes off to war, Mr
Reginald Snooper boarded a Washing
ton bound train.
Upon arriving in Washington
Snooper made haste to arrange an in
terview with Bill G. McAdoo, secre
tary of everything. The latter person
age fixed a confab between Snooyer
and his, McAdoo's, father-in-law. .
Snooper felt as much at ease in the
presence of the president as a polar
elephant would feel at a tea dansant
The executive shot a few questions,
such as: "How many rivets are used
in manufacturing the average tin
garden sprinkler?" and "Are galva
nized public drinking cups in a leper
colony less sanitary than soda foun
tain spoons anywhere?" Mr. Snooper
answered the questions as deliber
ately and as clearly as Caruso renders
"K-K-K-KATY" in "Carmen."
In view of these unquestionable
qualifications. Mr. S. was fore-with
commissioned a Lootenut in the Intel
ligence department of the Unitec
States government. A casual glance
at Mr. Snooper, however, would hardly
oaiisA nnr to ronnect Wm with that
branch of the service. He looked like
a plumber and a plumber is a plumber
whether he tries to disguise himself
JnsMo n Hress suit or no! But if th?
world harbored fewer plumbers and
radiators, more of us would be direct
ing the course of Rolls-Royces from
the rear seats, instead of steering that
wrist watch type of motor car per

dictator of wealth, said as he con
valesced from the shock of the amount
charged for blow-torching his Initials

Mr. Snooper.
In the southeast pocket of Mr.
Snooper's jeans, on the day ho anK

Now the question arises, why were
m r n p w m
there $800.62 instead oi auu.oa.
I'll explain: In Chicago Snooper sent
Reg. Jr. a post card with the pic
ture of the stockyards on one siae
of it. Reggie, Jr., had always shown
a fondness for cows and the scene on
the post card. "A Sunset at me Stock
Yards." had about nine millioii cows

The overseas orders read in such a
way that he was to go to an "Atlantic

was once New York City, and emb irk
on a Journey scheduled to terminate

have not written a story for the next

irate tones demands that you'eome at

With a sigh of regret you leave your
dinner unfinished (curses! there wa3
