Jack loves Merrie England, and is thinking seri- ousiy of following Mr. Astors example and becoming a citizen. America, Jack claims, “never gave him a chance.” Jack forgets the little chance Amer! gave him at Reno a year ago, where he cleaned up a couple of hundred thousand dollars in perfectly good coin, Jack 1 determined that he never, ever will fight for the United States ica, either in the army or in ! If we go and mix up in some war or other and get licked It won't hurt his feelings at all, eo there! It would serve us right. And anyway America pays soldiers only $13 a month in piping times of peace and little more in war time, while we know very well that Jack's price is at least $30,000 per battle, and no cut rate considered. Tough on us—but I guess we'll have to grin and bear it. If Engiand chased us all inte the ocean, And France and Russia added te eur rout, We'd have to bend the knee—oh, horrid notion!— For JOHNSON wouldn't come to help us out.
