NOT SURPRISED.

Oh! Ouch! I'm awful sorry,
but some well-meaning person has
made a terrible blunder. Some
body has sent in the name of one
H. G. Liebig, Of Mascoutah, 1lli-
nois, as a subscriber to The Fool
Killer. And now here comes a
card from the postmaster at that
place saying that Mr.. Liebig re-
fuses to take The Fool-Killer out
Of the postofice.
Of course. I am not at all sur
prised. A man with such a name
as that-a man who would Lie-big*
would certainly not want to-
read a good truthful paper like
The Fool-Killer.
When I happen to get fool ODE

as long as there is any hope Of
helping him. But when it comes.
to a hopeless case like this I waste
no time in taking it off. There.
is no use to sprinkle cologne
around the den Of polecat, be-
cause it merely wastes the colo-
gne and does the polecat no good
It is with great pleasure, there
fore, that I take the name Of Mr.
Big-Lie off my mailing list, and I
will transfer the subscription to-
some person who knows a good
thing when they see it.
Goodbye forever, Mr.. Big-Lie.>
hope to live so as to escape that
auful place down yonder where"
you are going, and as you have
refused my help this time you will
never have another chance to get
it. Your condition now is most
pitiable, but you have brought it
on yourself by refusing to read
The Fool-Killer.

Miss Sally and the Dude.

When [ look at some men-and
women, too-all decked out in
their riggings, I am reminded Of
the story Of Miss Sally and the
dude. Miss Sally had dude come
to see her one evening. The "gen-
tleman" desired to let Miss Sally
know he wore fine clothes, so he
said, "Stand up there, $40 worth
Of cane; hang there, $15 worth
of hat; come off, $50 worth of
overcoat. - And having thus ad-
vertised his fnery he proceeded
to take a seat beside Miss Sally,
when 10! Miss Sally gave his
chair push with her foot and
stretched the fine gentleman full
length on the floor, as she said,
"Lie down there, 10 conts worth
Of nothing. ''-Battle-Axe.

THE GREAT IDEA.

About two years ago The Fool
Killer took pity on Woodpile and
told him how to settle the Mexi-
can. trouble and get all the fac
t1ons down there harmonized and
living happily together. The idea
was for this government to bristle-
up and go galloping down there
like it wanted to fight. Then all
the warning factions in Mexico
would drop their differences and
get together to fight us. Then we
were to tuck tail and run, leaving.
them together, all happy and har-
monious. The Fool-Killer believ-
ed then, and still believes, that
the idea is a good one. And it
begins to look half way like,
.Woodpile is gradually coming
around to the same opinion. His.
latest little fling with the Greaser
boys amounts to just about that.

WHEW! HOLD YER NOSE!

II
able source The Fool-Killer has
Just learned something about the
European war situation that looks
worse than anything yet.
If you ain't got pretty doggon
good nerve you better stop right
here, for I warn you that this is
grewsome sort Of story. | am
waiting. All that want to stop
reading will please stop right
quick, and the rest Of us will go
on.
You know they use fabulous
quantities Of Nitro-Glycerine IN
the war. It is the base Of most
of their high explosives. There
is only one source from which
nitro -glycerine can be produced,
and that is animal sinews. And if
the supply of dead animals runs
|short and the nitro-glycerine
gives out it will be good-morning
John with the war. And it would
be too bad to have nice war IN
terrupted that way.
| And so Germany got busy and
studied out way to overcome the
difficulty. It is just like Germany
to do thing like that. She look
ed around her and saw the mil
lions of dead men and dead horses
rotting on the battle-felds. She
put her fore-fnger to her fore
head and then jumped up and
slapped her heels together twice.
It was all settled. The men and
horses were as dead as they ever
would be, and it WOULDN'T t hurt to
stew them up and make nitro
glycerine out Of them to be used
in killing more men and horses.
So the new idea was put into
practice without further delay.
And now the young German sol
dier who dies for his country has
) the double satisfaction Of know
ing that his body will be stewed
! up and made into high-explosives,
: and that he will thus kill more Of
the enemy after he is dead than he
did while alive.
No sooner had Germany started
that awful business than he1
= enemies caught on to it, and now
they are all gathering up their
young heroes and shipping them
by the carload back to the nitro
4 glycerine factories where they arr
E boiled, stewed, and otherwise
cooked into high-explosives. Will
