Don't talk to me of him! the craven coward, who will neither volunteer nor give a cent for our poor, suffering soldiers, but turns people off with: 'Government provides, or 'the stores do not reach them, and all those subterfuges to which mean men resort to keep from giving, and to avoid the draft swore he was forty-five, when we all know better.
Then Linda took her tun at deep thought. "John," she said at last, "I am feeling depressed over what I have just done.
