A MEMBER of the State Militia¹ stood at a street corner, scowling²
stormily, and the people passing that way went a long way around
him, thinking of the horrors of war. But presently, in order to
terrify them still more, he strode toward them, when, his sword
entangling³ his legs, he fell upon the field of glory, and the
people passed over him singing their sweetest songs.
