SOME DIRTY WORK

Last night about three feet OF the
brick wall on the city hall was torn
down and mud was thrown pro
miscuously over a considerable por-
tion OF the wall. Mr. Marshall says
this damnable piece OF work was
done by men, as II was too hard a
job for kids to do. II Is hard to
think that there is anyone In Mont
pelier who is so devoid OF manhood
as to commit such a deed. IL the
guilty parties could be apprehended
they should be made to pay we'll for
their dirty work.

"At that think Mr.. Wilson is trying
to do the right thing in Mexico" zapp
interrupted.
Sure l know" Birslty agreed; but
the trouble with Mr.. Wilson is he is so
busy remembering to play the game ac
cording to Hoyle that he don't notice
it when Germany and Mexico deals
themselves aces from the bottom of the
deck. If you're president oder king,
Zapp, the thing to do is to see that the
other feller plays according to the rules,
whether you yourself stick to them or
not"
II don't know where you read that,
Birsky," Zapp said, but a president or
a king who tried to do business on that
basis couldn't expect to get better rat
ing as NJ to p. third credit But what
is the use of talking so poetical, Birsly?
When you are dealing with a PROPOSE
ton like Mexico. rules don't figure at
all. As a rule, Birsky, presidents are
elected for a term of years, dber in
Mexico they go out of office at unequal
intervals, feet first and looking very
natural if the bullets happen to hit 'em
below the neck. AS a rule, Birslty, gem

He is kibbitzing behind Won Bernstorff.
and he says: Let the poor Ne6ich play
his own game, can't you?' And Mr..
Wilson gets so ratified by this that he
drops face up on the table two diamonds
which Won Bernstorff thought was lay
ing in Lansing's hand all the time, and
Lansing, who is a pretty good.natured
Teller at that, gets also sore. He throws
his hand down and says: What is this?

says: Say! If you've got to catch a

We'll, Mr.. Wilson done the same
thing before with Mexico" Birsky said.
THAT time there at Vera Cruz, you
would think the way he rushes in with
batteships and soldiers that he had a
two-color hand, when, as a matter of
fact, he played his cards so rotten that
he might just so well have schencked

FARMER SMITHS FAIRY TALES
Willie Wideawake In Mother Land

1T is Saturday night and tomorrow is

NO you can't" said voice right be-
side Willie Wideawake.
Willie looked out of one eye and who
should he see but the Good Dream Fairy.
why can't lie in bed" asked Willie.
You must never talk back to a fairy
or your own mother" answered the Good
Dream Fairy
Excuse me-" said Willie, politely.
81 want you to put on your thinking cap
and come with me to the Land of the Blue
Sky, where we must gather some white
carnations for your mother-tomorrow is
Mothers Day"
Wont hollyhocks or dandelions or vlo-

you are asking too many questions.
think you must be like lot OF other boys
in this world-you do not appreciate your
mother-perhaps you will not learn to
love her as you should until-until she has
gone to Mother Land, where there are no
boys only babies, Babies can't answer
back. You see. in Mother Land all is
happiness because the babies can't answer
back-that is what breaks a mothers
heart" The Good Dream Fairy looked
straight at Willie with her wonderful eyes,
why does answering back break
mothers hearth" asked Willie.
Because mothers always know what is
best"
1t seemed but an instant until Willie
and the Good Dream Fairy were standing
in field of white carnations, Suddenly
every flower turned into a baby's face,
each smiling at Willie Wideawake.
II see now why we have white carna-
tions for Mothers Day" said Willie Wide
awake. and with that he STONED down and
put his arms around lot of white carna-
tlons and gathering them tenderly toward
him. gave them terrible squeeze

1t was the most beautiful voice in the
world speaking. and when Willie opened
his eyes and looked up he saw right into
the most beautiful eyes in the world and
back of them he saw Mother Land and

Birsty commented they've got moth
ing on us for not capturing Wilma
The cases amt exactly anonymous,
Birsky' Zapp said. you see. Brsky,
the Germans amt trying to capture
Nerdun, because they claim that this
Verdun Geschichte has got to stop, and
If the person whose business it is to
capture Verdun couldn't or wouldn't do
so, understand, that they, Germany,
would-and just watch their smoke"
Does any one claim that about cap
turing Vilna?' Birsky asked.
Well zapp replied, las I under
stand the matter, our soldiers are only
in Mexico because the Mexican Govern
ment amt able to capture Wilma"
What do you mean, the Mexican
Government" Birsky demanded. DO
you call 1t government that they got
1t over in MexiCo?"
II don't" Zapp said, but President
Wilson does. He claims that because
this here f,lkan M. Carrauza has made
such an impression on the Mexican peo-
pie and things are so orderly over there
that we would formally recognize him
as head of the Mexican Government,
and that as Elkan M. Carranza don't
seem to got nickel's worth of influence
over the Mexican people and things is
so mixed up and at SKIES and sevens
over there in Mexico we must got to
send our soldiers to capture wilma and
that after our soldiers has captured
Wilma they would return to the United
States and leave Mexico to itself be-
cause Ellian NJ Carranza has made such
al good record in Mexico and things is
so settled down over there that 1t
wouldn't be necessary to keep our SOL
dlers there any longer"
you may know what you are talking
about, zapp,' BirslEy admitted, but
TINS sounds like Kdbdla to me-"
II am only telling you what my idee
If t1e matter is" zapp explained.

Well, what is Elkan NJ. Carranza's $
! ldee Of the matter?" BirsiSy inquired.
HE don't know whether he should
ought to feel compimented or insulted."
2app continued. "On Mondays, Wedncs-
days and Fridays he wired President
Wilson he should please call off hlsNsol-
diers or would positively take such steps
as he thinks proper to protect his and
MeNicos interests in the matter, and on
Tuesdays. Thursdays and Saturdays he
writes we should keep up the good work.

we'll, as 1t leaves him and oblige.'
Seemingly the feller don't know his
own mind at ALL" Birslsy commented.
lit amt that exactly" Zapp said.
He's in a way up against the same
proposition like Mr. Wilson; he couldn't
rely on the backing of his own party at
ALL For instance If he makes speech
in which lie says that If America keeps
the 5000 American soldiers In Mexico
there is 100000 MeXicans stands ready
to die for their country, and it wouldn't
make no difference if~ there was G50O
American soldiers, the 100000 Mexi-
cans stands ready anyhow, y'under-
stand, then the next day General Diego
Aogorman says the Americans Is the
best friends Mexico has got and that
come one come all, every loyal Mexican
should give 'em n good old-fashioned
Mexican welcome. On the other hand,
II Carranza makes a speech In which he
says that speaking for the Mexican
people, he extends the long arm OF CO.

States, y'understand, General Geofredo
Maclemorez says: You. he speaks for

what the Mexican people thinks about
President Wilson it would make what
the German.American Truth Society
thinks sound like engrossed resolutions
bound in watered silk.lined Morocco
leather with President Wilson's name
stamped on it in gold letters"
"Then. after ALL you couldn't blame
the feller," Birsky said nor President
Wilson neither. No doubt If they was
allowed to play their own hands with
out remarks from the Kibbit@erS,+ they
would of done pretty good
well, I'll tell YER" Zapp said:
Politics is very similar game like
playing pinochle oder skat in a coffee
house. A feller who plays such game
must got to expect there would be Rib-
bitserS and il he lets their remarks
rattle him, y'understand, he's got no
business to sit in at all. President Will
son is like whole lot of fellers. He
starts in with good cards and instead
of playing them like Mensch, y'under-
stand, he considers first should he come
trump. y'understand, and he's got his
thumb and finger on the ace of trump.
when he thinks why should he give his
hand away like that. He then gets an
idee 1t would be a good thing to lead
small diamond, and he's just about to
play it when he remembers that he read
somewheres in Hoyle where Hoyle says
you should never lead a small diamond
when you've got big club in your hand.
So he skins over his hand again and Mr.
Roosevelt who is looking over his shoul-

that, captains, dber in Mexico, most of
the generals used to was horse thieves
and before that, sneak thieves, and be-
fore that, nobody knows what they was.
AS rule. Birsky, dollar is worth a
| hundred cents or ten dimes, dber in
Mexico the currency Is so rotten that II
! you owe a feller a dollar and pdp him
a dollar, he practically got a new claim
against you for a dollar and a quarter.
| And IL you wantto hear any more rules
that don't apply to Mexico. Birsky. you
would got to call the waiter yourself
as we couldn't sit here all afternoon on
cup coffee apiece"
"Aber tell me one thing Birsly said.
IF all this s the case, why did Mr..
Wilson recognize Elkan M. Carranza as
the President?"
III don't know" zapp replied, but
see in the papers that every few days
Mr.. Wilson goes from Washington to
Philadelphia and consults an oculist,
Birsky, so | conclude that since he rec
ognized Carranza he has found out that
there's something the matter with his
eyesight, and that maybe Carranza ain't
the man he took him to be at all, butsa
Teller with whiskers and spectacles by
the same name. However, Birsky, for
the present we are giving Carranza the
benefit of the, doubt, and if he continues
to act as such we may go on recognize
ing him as Provisional President"
What do you mean-Provisional
President?" Birsky asked.
"a Provisional President" Zapp ex-
planned, lis a President that gets his
job through a revolution. He acts as
President until an election is held, pro-
vided he lives that long. There's a
whole lot of honor attached to it in
Mexico. Every time a Provisional
President starts to go out of his house.
Birsky, he receives salute of twenty
one guns-sometmes fifty-one guns, de-
pending on the number of people laying
for him, so you can imagine what the
front of Provisional Presidents house
looks like Birsliy. If they don't get him
with the first salute, 1t must cost him
a fortune for window glass alone"
Then if you would ask me as a real
estate and insurance broker Zapp"
Birslzy said. "I should say that a pro-
vlsional president was. taking. it all in
all, an extra hazardous occupation"
He amt sprinkled risk exactly.w
zapp agreed.
Then what does he want the job
for?" Birsky asked.
We'll" Zapp said, there's big money
in 1t If he can get it deposited outside
the country"
Il should think he would consider his
health before money" Birsky said.
Maybe he does" zapp said, but you
take one of these provisional presidents,
BIrsky, and as general thing, he's a
good family man and believes in leav-
ing his wives and families well provided
for"
so n provisional president is like
that, is hep" Birsky said.
II don't say they all are" zapp de:
clared but when you recognize pro-
visional president, it don't do no harm
to have bad eyesight, Blrslty because
in that case, what you don't like about
him, Birsky, you could wink at"

tinued. "As a matter of fact Birsky,
| have always claimed that what the
Germans and the French should ought
to do is to hire a parlor car manner from
the Pullman Company and put him to
work on them murdered hills near Ver-
dun. To my mind, BirslSy, the reason
why the Germans amt made more prog
ress there is because when the Crown
Prince calls up from long distance and
tells Falkenhayn he should attack Fill
No. 729, you couldn't blame the feller If
with all the guns shooting off around

his turn telephones to an assistant gen.

ter, which he knows is bomb-proof only
if bomb don'tN hit it. y'understand, it
amt surprising that the assistant gen
eral should understand Falkenhayn to
say Hill 775. The consequences Is when
the assistant general orders the Kaiser's

would of got the parlor car manner to
call them hills 'I1lkwood, 'Danora' and
