NEW YEAR’S EVE AT
TIIE FIREMAN’S BALL
I Twas a wintry night, and the stars
■ shone bright
And the moon was half and pale,
l For the end of the year, was draw
i ing near
l And another was on the trail;
The Fireman’s Ball, in the Dream
land Hall
: Was making it’s yearly d'bv.te,
And the people turned out e:>
masse, enroute,
To part with a dollar or two.
I entered the door, on the slippery
floor.
I stood, in the corner alone,
Mid the din and the glare, of the
holiday air
I cannily sized up the zone.
A bunch of the boys, with hilar
ious noise
Were watering dry champagne,
For- their thoughts were far, from
the cares that are
And pleasure preceeded pain.
Some were out of their place,!
wearing somebody’s face
And nobody gave a d—,
Painted and powdered and mask- |
an red
It was only a game of sham.
There was the Circle City “Kid”
And Dangerous Dan McGrew,
While strapped to his side was a
“Forty-four”
With which he had killed a few.
Then I glanced around the bright
bannered room
Till something attracted my j
view,
The prettiest girl was takng the
part
Of the Lady that’s known as
“Lou”;
There were humorous clowns, in
crazy gowns
And costumes that weren’t so
Plain, J
A Spamsn Don “Q”, Senoritas a
few
And a Cavalier from Old Spain. |
A fiery Knight of the Ku Klux Klan
And the holiest virtuous Nun,
In their finery gay, were dancing
away
And having oodles of fun.
The “Apache Kid”, and her tough
“Katydid”
As tough as I ever did see,
Were doing the notorious under
world “Twist”
That they used to do in ‘Paree’. i
“Aunt Jemima” was having a hi- j
yu time ;
With Grogan the “Bowery Bum”,
And the Pirate “Queen” and her
Buccaneer
Were drinking a bottle of “rum”.
For this was the eve for revelry
And everyone danced on their
toes,
And the band played “Annie
Laurie”
While the Firemen played their
“Hose1.
How the crowd did bemoan, in a
sorrowful tone
The absence of imported wine,
While some of them warbled
“Sweet Adeline”.
And the days of “Auld Lang
Syne”
While the bright atmosphere, that
pervaded the air
Besmacked of a Dawson saloon,
For the “Lady” that juggled the
“Music Box”
Was playing a “Jazzy” tune.
Thus the night wore on, till the
early dawn
And ‘twas 3 o’clock in the morn,
When the muse stopped and the
crowd went Jiome
With faces so happy and worn;
Here’s hoping the Firemen raised
their “Dough”
At their annual “Freman’s
Ball”,
For the season’s event was a great
success.
And a good time was had by all.
Herman Swerdloff
The “Circle City Kid"
Tonight’s preliminary game to
the College-Seward high school
cage game, will be between the
Jesse Lee five and the local school j
second stringers.

candies at Sylvia’s.
RUSTS RETURNING
Among the passengers who will
arrive on the S. S. Alameda this
week is H. S. Rust, a former res
ident of Seward. He is with the
Signal Corps, as he was when here
previously, being an experienced
and capable operator. Mrs. Rust
is with her husband and their
many local friends will be glad of
the opportunity to again welconie
them to the city.
