THE WEST ANSWERS
The recruiting officer appototed by
our Government to obtain recruits for
the famed Otratlicons Horse, happened
one evening to drop into one of the
Hudson Bay Company's stores, and
found seated around the stove a
number of cattlemen, ranehore cow-
boys, ete, who were the special object
of hie mieeion. Swaggering into their
midst he said. "Well, boys what do
you think of this war in Europe, eh?"
A stalwart young rancher seated upon
a barrel at the back of the store gave
him a characterietic reply, which
might be expressed in verse as follows;
You ask us what we think about tbie
