T wis on a bench near the City Hall, I At the breaking of day began, That there lingered on through the shadowy dawn. A sorrowing, sa.t-eyed man.'. His clothing wis tattered, his shoes were torn, " His hat was a sight to see. And be muttered there In the cold, grsy air This dreary soliloquy: "Oh, San Juan Hill was a Ping Pong game, Port Arthur Is quite serene. And Waterloo was a picnic, too, Compared with the war I've seen. It was yesterday that I moved away From Harlem to far Bay Ridge, And 1 got last, night in this terrible plight in tne name oi orooKiyn ormgc. "At six o'clock I was smartly clad. And smoking a fat cigari And I left Park Row with intent to go And embark on a Flatbush car. 3 17 Percy Invests in a New Pair of Shoes, FOXY REYNARD. 1 HOoltAV H 0040 ! ' whoop la! RAT ! J .

With a terrible blow they laid me low I Imam Ik. . 1. I . . "k rp-juua siren. 'Two thousand fists were aimed at me, And a thousand rabid men When e'er I rose with cruel blows Straight laid me out again. And as a pack of hounds pursues A cringing, quivering hare, They ground their teeth as they plunged beneath The crush to slay me there. "And then a gap was opened out In the writhing ranks and dark. And forth I shot from that fatal spot And landed out in the Park. My face is fracrtfred, my nose Is fiat And shattered ia every bone; Whenever I try to wink an eye The movement calls forth a moan. "A wife and children in far Bay Ridge Will wait for me long in vain, For never more would I seek that shore Though they sent me a special train. Oh, why did I ever leave Harlem town. Where they're wearing the Subwav smile? : Hereafter I'll give all my chattels to live rorever on mannattan Isle. "For In many a war I've been wounded and maimed. And many encounters I've had. But all of them seem like i glorious dream, All joyous and gentle and glad. To Struggle at Shiloh and Gettysburg Has been my privilege, But in neither wis there anything to compare With the Battle of Brooklyn Bridge."
