we're busy with early shopping and

a systematic campaign for clothing to
aid these unfortunate people. This
committee is anxious for assistance
from all sources within the next

we may be able to furnish will reach
their destination before extreme cold
weather arrives. This is great
humanitarian work and everyone
should respond to the call.

MESSENGER BOY BARD.

The epidemic of verse-writine
which is always more or less preva-
lent in the Daily Express shop, has
spread across the street to the West
ern Union office, one of the messenger
boys, Alvin Powell, having been
seized by sudden attack. The meters
don't meet in several places and
otherwise there is evidence of circuit
breaks, but at that there is consider
able merit in Alyin's ''pome,' which
is as follows:
The Western Union Force.
The first of this noted group that
name,
Is the dearest one of all;
Although a little bit too long,
He gets the praise of all.
The next is our beloved operator,
A dandy good boy is he;
And the way he jerks lightning,
Is certainly sight to see.
And then comes the clerk along in the
line,
A very good flirt is he:
His love for the Postal clerk is quite
sad,
And it makes us all very mad.
And next comes our lineman,
A very nice man is he;
And if it was not for him,
In what sad plight we would be-
The messenger with the blondy hair
is next
For he is the one that goes on the
jump;
Bringing in messages in daylight or
dark,
And with bright smile as he goes
about
So last OF this noted group that
name,
Comes the other messenger hop;
And the way he gets about,
Is enough to make preacher tur-
key trot.

Then, with a gentle smile, the
passerby approached the old man and
said:

Fishing. sir answered the old
man, solemnly.
Fishing, Ell? Well, uncle, come
and have a drink"
The old man shouldered his rod and
followed the kindly stranger to the
corner saloon There he regaled him
self with a large glass of dark beer
and good five-cent cigar His host,
contemplating him in friendly, pro-
tecting way, as he slipped and smoked,
said.
SO you were fishing, uncle? And
how many have you caught this morn

The old man blew a smoke-cloud to-
ward the ceiling. Then, after pause
he said:

| Basking in the Atlantic breezes
which sweep the decks of the good
ship Oscar II, his breast filled with in
spiration generated by life on an
ocean wave" Henry Ford with his
brave band of willing workers consti-
tuting his Peace Aid Society, appears
to be almost alone in cherishing hopes
for an early ending of the awful
struggle. In spite of the declarations
from European capitals indicating a
firm determination to carry on the
contest to the bitter end, Horny.

by wireless that he will have the men

solemn utterances of chancellors and
prime ministers serve as little to
swerve him from his selfimposed

bling, but the world will have tc admit
that he is some optimist.

them than the anguish of war
If these people are to be clad, il i;
plain that the United States must Sc
10 their rescue. To this end, the Bel
eium Relief Commission of the United
States is making frank appeal to
the nation, asking for money to buy
new materials and articles of clothing.
The commission is very emphatic in
its request for new clothing, owing to
the drastic sanitary laws laid down by
the governments through whose terri
tory we must pass in order to reach
the sufferers. Not that the destitute
people of France and Belgium would
not be intensely grateful for partially
worn or secondhand garments, but
they would not be permitted to receive
them.
With the exception of shoes, sweat
trs, caps and knitted underwear, un-
made materials are preferred for in
dustrilly-paralyzed France and Bel
GUM are sitting with idle hands as
well as aching hearts. From millions
there gees up the cry everyday, GIVE
us SOMETHING TO DO, SOME
THING TO WORK UPON-SO THAT
WE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR
SUPPORT To send unmade ma
terials, moreover, is an economical
measure, for the poor of those coun-
tries know how to cut many coat
out of a given piece of cloth, and to
utilize the scrapes in patching their
own old cloths.

Oklahoma committee which is headed

Geese Gather Gold.

Somebody has again KILLED the goose
that laid the golden eggs", according to
Fred Stoeckert who is displaying real
gold which came from the gizzard of a
goose which the Stoeckerts purchased
for their culinery department. While
the amount of gold found by Mr..
Stoeckert in the goose's gizzard was but
small, there may have been considerable
more as the particles noticed by him
were only seen after the bulk of the con-
tents of the gizzard had been disposed Of.
In washing the gizzard, half a dozen fine
particles of hard, yellow substance
were seen and so closely resembled gold
that Mr.. Stoeckert decided to submit
them to jeweler for a test. Mr..
Schleuder declared them to be gold with
out a doubt and now Mr.. Stoeckert
thinks that the farmers who sold geese
to Stuebe Brothers on the 18th of
December had better interview their
remaining geese and see whether they
will give up the secret of their supply.
He says that there were only about half
dozen birds at Stuebe's at the time he
bought the goose but that Stuebe's
cannot tell from whom they were pur-
chased, the date being the only thing
they were sure of.
