The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1900-10-11

hidden. And after two moons journey
Earl Ii drew near to the camps of the
heather. And they were making mer-
ry over the great plunder of silver,
gold and rice that they had stolen
from the fair cities of China. And as
they blew upon their horns, Earl Ii
drew near unto the tent wherein the
chiefs of the heather were quarreling
over the spoils. And Earl Ii called in
loud voice and said: "Hoop-la-me-
daisies,' which interpreted into the
heathen tongue means, "Hold yer
whist until I deliver the message of
the ruler of all the earth" And they
jeered at him and the Russian chief
said:
"Ah conner er offshi, we want no
peace"
"Ober nit" said the German chief.
"Hoch der Kaiser, kline peace until we
ride NIT de brides up in Chinese gore"
Earl Ii then turned to the French
and Yankee chiefs. But the French
chief was in quarrel with the British
Chief and the Yankee chief said:
"Can't pass on this pot old man, unless
Billy Bryan calls our hand next
March,"
And Earl Ii bowed his grey head
and wept for them, for he had travelled
much among these heather people and
felt pity for them in their foolishness
and greed. And he fain would save
the French and Yankee tribes, for he
had seen much in the cities of the
Yankees when he visited their country,
that recalled muck good among them
when they were not chasing the
mighty dollar, or holding an election.
He remembered how they met him
in Chicago many moons ago, and how
they played upon their barbarous in
struments the tune "There'Il be a hot
time in the old town tonight" Ii.
And so he pleaded with them to
leave China, but they would not.
And Earl Ii returned again unto the
mighty emperor and told him that the
powers had tasted of the good things
lof China and their eyes had looked
upon the vast multitudes of Cinnamon
whom they sought to subject as slaves
to labor, and therefore they would not
leave China until all it's wealth and
labor was their own.
And the mighty empress, Hot Shu,
who was the greatest of she rulers of
China, leaped to her feet and cried:
Enough. War it shall be until in all
the vast continent of Europe not one
barbarian shall remain to tell the tale.
Go therefore, Earl Ii, and command
the great council to assemble"
And Earl Ii did as he was command
ed, and all the grand councillors of
China were assembled in the palace of
the Sun.
And they numbered over five thou
sand with their servants and guards.
And when they had fallen down before
the great Son of Sons, the greatest of
moons, Hot Shu spake unto them as
follows:
"My good and faithful servants,
make ye ready for a great war. Ye
may have heard of the little quarrel
few of our children had with the people
of little island called Japan, over
few rice fields, and some called it
war. But I speak not of that kind,
but of war that shall search out the
very corners of this continent, that
shall sweep clean the whole earth from
the bleak and frozen north to the warm
and sunny south, and from ocean to
| ocean, to drive this barbarous race of
gold worshipers from this side of the
world where their greed has caused
them to commit crimes upon our SIM
pie children and do great harm to our
people by teaching them bad habits,
such as the use of vile drugs which
steal their manhood from them and
leave them like weak, dreaming chill
dren. And for the teaching to them
their heather religion which is so bad
that they do not follow it themselves,
nor do they use the deadly drugs
which they forced upon our simple
children. JAN ORURICK.
