The Minister—Trust in God and make your powder fly. His Doting Mother —I wonder how long before he’ll be a general? His Militant Father—Bully for him! His Pacifist Uncle —Dear me! Dear, dear me! His Proud Aunt —He gets his brave spirit from our side of the family. His Little Brother—Gee! I wish I could go. His Little Sister —I wish I had a dress like that uniform. His Chum —I hope he pays me that five bucks before he goes. His Best Girl—lsn’t he grand! His Girl’s Chum —Oh, you must give me a military button for my collection. Their Next Door Neighbor—l suppose they’ll be more stuck up than ever now. Drill Sergeant—Oh, Gawd!—James Gabelle, in Life.
