hit THE KAISER"
A POPULAR GAME

Berwick, Me, July 15.-The game OF
"Hit the Kaiser" devised by members OF
the Berwick Red Cross Society as a d.
version for those attending its big lawn
party Thursday night, and incidentally as
a coin-cornering enterprise, proved a hit.
Everybody on the grounds wanted to
hit the Kaiser-and hit him hard--ano
about everybody tried to take a fall
out of that imperial handspring of the
world war. The game was played with
all the zeal that patriotic Americans
could muster.
The game is very simple, being an
adaptation Of the familiar handball and
puppet contest. generally seen as a Mid
way attraction at agricultural fairs In
stead of a row of puppets. hinged to a

resemblance to Kaiser Bill and hinged

target.
The reward for hitting the Kaiser was
an ice cream cone given for scoring a
certain number Of hits out of series Of
throws. Judging by the success of the
game as a money getter at this affair, il
is believed that Red Cross societies else
where would be equally successful with it.

Edison Says All Rebellious Ele-

New York. July 1--we now have all

Orange from New York to see the wizard.
Efforts to induce Mr.. Edison or any of
his lieutenants to amplify the statement
were in vain. Newspaper men were told
that they would have to make the best Of
the words as they stood over Mr.. Edison 8
signature.
The reason why the convention went
to Edison was because Edison had for
gotten to come to the convention. To
caused he sent a telegram inviting the
whole convention to come and see him.
The guests were met at Llewellyn-the
railroad station Of the Edison plant-by

Around the entrance to the laboratories
stood an armed battalion, also composed
Of Edison employees, commanded by a for
mer West Point officer.
Mr.. Edison stepped forward and an
nounced that his secretary, w. F. Mea-
dowcraft, would read his little speech
The speech was as follows:
They told me you had a good conven-
