WAR-TIME TAGS FROM "JULIUS CÆSAR." A "TAKE COVER" CONSTABLE TO A "SPECIAL." "I'll about, And drive away the vulgar from the streets; So do you too, where you perceive them thick."--_Act I. Sc. 1_. A WISE MAN. "Good night, then, Casca: this disturbéd sky Is not to walk in."--_Act I. Sc. 3_. A RASH MAN. "For my part, I have walked about the streets... Even in the aim and very flash of it."--_Act I. Sc. 3_. TO A MUNITION STRIKER. "But wherefore art not in thy shop to-day?"--_Act I. Sc. 1_. TO A LADY CLERK. "Is this a holiday? What dost thou with thy best apparel on?"--_Act I. Sc. 1_. TO LORD RHONDDA (_with a whear and potato war-loaf_). "Till then, my noble friend, chew upon this."--_Act I. Sc. 2_. * * * * * THE TRANSLATOR SEES THROUGH IT. Announcement by a French publisher:-- "Vient de paraitre:--'M. Britling commence à voir clair.'" * * * * * "MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. A Large Quantity of Old Bricks for Sale."--_Dublin Evening Herald_. Do not shoot the pianist. Throw a brick at him instead. * * * * * Regarding a certain judge:-- "Hence so many reversals by the Court of Appeal that suitors were often more uneasy if they lost their case before him than if they won it."--_Irish Times_. We assume that they were Irishmen. * * * * * "Elderly Lady Requires Post, as companion, Secretary or any position of trust, would keep clergyman's wife in Parish, etc."--_Church Family Newspaper_. But the difficulty with the parson's wife in some parishes, we are told, is just the reverse of this. * * * * * "Duck and drake (wild) wanted; must be tame."--_Scotsman_. We dislike this frivolity in a serious paper. * * * * * [Illustration: OUR YOUNG VETERANS. _Grandfather_. "JUST HAD A TOPPING BIT OF NEWS, OLD DEAR. GERALD'S WANGLED THE D.S.O." _Granny_.

I can't mention what job we are on because HINDENBURG is listening. He watches every move made by Albert Edward and me and disposes his forces accordingly. Now and again he forestalls us, now and again he don't. On the former occasions he rings up LUDENDORFF, and they make a night of it with beer and song; on the latter he pushes the bell violently for the old German god.
