BORN TO NOISE.
To the Tune of Shrieking Whistles
1918 Comes into the World.

If there is anything in having n
noisy birth, the year of 1913 will le
a holy terror. Promptly at twelve
. clock, according to the watches OF
the attending physicians, the New
Year was born in Ardmore, London,
New York City, Milo, Deese and sel.
eral other places. A fraction of a sec
ord earlier the year 1912 had shuffed
off the mortal coil. And from the
hoarse and cultural throats of sever
al hundred thousand whistles-most
of which were located and working
over time in that section of the uni
verse of which Ardmore is the capi'
tol-the glad tidings were heraldei
to the world that the old, the true,
the tried, was dead and the new, un'
tested, had been enthroned. "Off
with tie old love, on with the new.
the king is dead, long live the king,
We're the messages the whistles, the
shoutings and the laughter bore forth
upon the air of the Silly night.
And now, following the paths trcd-
den by hundreds of generations Of the
tickle members of the human family,
the people of the universe will dance
uron the grave of 1912 and forget the
many blessings given us during her
reign, while we codlle and pet the
baby: 1913"
