Ben Cohn Of the State Journal mail
ing department received a circular
from England this morning entitled
THE Last Will and Testament of
Kaiser Wilhelm. 1t has been dis
tributed widely throughout the United
Kingdom. A brief Introductory says:
t'It is rumored in Germany that the
emperor now realizes that his number
is up, and is accordingly making his
will, revoking all wills made hereto
fore"
The English humorous idea of the
will is as follows:
This is the last will and testament
of me, Wilhelm, the superswanker
and ruler of the sausage-eaters, rec
ognizing that am fairly up against it.
and expecting to meet with violent
death at any minute at the hands of
brave Johnny Eul'. hereby make my
