The Near Patriot ... .;. I love? my country dearly, for her I'd die artd bleed; I'd iose a leg, or nearly, to help her in her need. 1 love our starry banner that flutters, bright and gay, and in a fervent manner I praise it every day. No man does louder spieling, or uses words more fine; I'm so worked up with feeling I often shed some brine. Fine words! You do not heed 'em, but ask me if I'll buy some U. S. bonds of freedom.I'd rather bleed and die. My life I do not cherish, I'm ready now to go to some red field and perish, if that will beat the foe. But when you ask for money, that is another tale; ask me for lifeblood, sonny, but do not ask for kale. I'd brave¬ ly face the foeman, and swat him till he fell, or stop with my abdo¬ men the deadly bomb or shell; I'd crouch in reddened water a fort¬ night at a time, or wade neck deep in slaughter, in carnage and in crime. My country cannot mention a heavy sacrifice but I will give attention and gladly pay the price. I'd lose a leg or ten¬ don, a tonsil or a toe to put a Grecian bend on the forehead of the foe; I am no timid bunny, I'd whip a grizzly bear, but when you ask for money, why, I have none to spare! 'WALT MASON. JOYRIDERS TAKE MOTOR CARS. Three Are Recovered by Defectives; One Still Missing. Joyriders last night were responsible for the disappearance of four automo¬ biles.

Mount Vernon Road to Reply This Week to Proposed Extension. The Washington-Virginia Railroad Company, which operates the electric line to Alexandria and Mount Vernon, this week will reply to the request of the United States Army engineer serv¬ ice to extend its line from the present terminus at Mount Vernon to the big Army engineer training camp at Be!- voir. Whitaythe camp in an air line is but about three miles from the present end of the line, the route that will have to be followed will require the building of about seven miles of track. While nothing has been given out as to the intentions of the railroad com¬ pany. it is understood the managers of the line are not very much in -£avor of the project, owing to the high cost of labor and material at this time.

The supply of oysters at the wharf market, which is still being received by express from Chesapeake bay points, is not heavy. With the increased demand that will come with the open¬ ing of the Lenten season 'Wednesday next it is figured the supply will be short. Usually at this time the dealers, in preparation for the heavy Lenten de¬ mand, have good supplies of oysters on hand, but the long continued freeze has prevented the dealers from obtaining them rfnd there is no immediate pros¬ pect of any relief. Fish also are scarce and are selling at prices from 100 to 150 per cent above those usual at this sea¬ son of the year. CITY ITEMS. C lnflin Optical Co* 907 F St. Varsity and Oxford Eyeglasses.

    I love? my country dearly, forher I'd die artd bleed; I'd iose aleg, or nearly, to help her in herneed. 1 love our starry bannerthat flutters, bright and gay, andin a fervent manner I praise itevery day. No man does louderspieling, or uses words more fine;I'm so worked up with feeling Ioften shed some brine. Finewords! You do not heed 'em, butask me if I'll buy some U. S.bonds of freedom.I'd ratherbleed and die. My life I do notcherish, I'm ready now to go tosome red field and perish, if thatwill beat the foe. But when youask for money, that is anothertale; ask me for lifeblood, sonny,but do not ask for kale. I'd brave¬ly face the foeman, and swat himtill he fell, or stop with my abdo¬men the deadly bomb or shell; I'dcrouch in reddened water a fort¬night at a time, or wade neckdeep in slaughter, in carnage andin crime. My country cannotmention a heavy sacrifice but Iwill give attention and gladly paythe price. I'd lose a leg or ten¬don, a tonsil or a toe to put aGrecian bend on the forehead ofthe foe; I am no timid bunny, I'dwhip a grizzly bear, but when youask for money, why, I have noneto spare!
