THE DEVILS OWN.

The Devil crept from his slimy pit
And wandered up and down,
In search of a hellish fiend on earth
To wear his hellish crown.
He searched the heart of every thief
And of every murderer, too,
But he found a little of human in cach
And noe of them would do.
At last he turned to noble race
And wound In the ranks OF fame
A wretch without a mortal soul
A thing that knew no shame.
The Devil smiled a fiendish smile
Once more to have his Will,
To reign on earth In his hellish way
In the person of Kaiser Bill.
The Kaiser was crowned and given
power
The Devil on earth to be,
With the Devils imps in the form OF
TIC murder on land and sea.
And for three long years this devil
thing
Has reigned like q raging flocd,
And changed world from peaceful
homes
To world of crying blood.
How long must this reign of crime
How long must the innocent cry.
So long as we sit in our idle dreams
1t is up to you and |.
II is up to you. 1t is up to me
Our bit in this war to do,
With life, and money, and sacrltlce
To fight this battle thru. -
To fight that millions yet unknown
In freedoms land may live,
To fight for all that is good and true
For all that heaven has give.
And fight until that imp of hell
From off his throne has reeled,
And the hosts of hell are driven back
And the gates forever sealed.
We've heard the suffering millions cry
In the land of the brave and true.
And the flag of freedom has joined
the cause
In the red. the white, and blue.
Our million boys are marching on
To battle across the sea,
our love, our money, our nation
strong,
VIII fight for liberty.

A Boston medium vouched for by
Professor James H. Hyslop AYERS that
she communed with the troubled spirit
of Professor Munsterberg and got his
message from the shady side. The
message as printed gives evidence OF
great mental distress and refers In
coherentry to the horrors of war and
"the fall of Potsdam." Those who put
little faith in spirit manifestation will
note in the quoted words strong proof
Of the ground floor knowledge which

HEART BEFORE MIND.

When will teachers ever learn that
the first step to successful teaching
is to enlist the sympathy and conf
dence of the person to be taught? In
theory they know it we'll enough but
in fact they often forget 1t. In this
one thing, at least, let us commend
the hated /. w. W.'s. They know
how to go about to bind men TO
them in the bonds of sympathy. They
get in hand and glove with the work
ingman. and. partly by espousing his
cause and partly by creating in his
mind wicked class hatred, estab-
lish a strong bond Of sympathy that
leaves the pupil intellectually at their
mercy. lie Is as clay in the hands OF
the potter. Glass hatred. of course,
is an evil thing in any case, but we
might get a lesson in spreading prop
aganda from their methods OF first
fastening the man to them with SYM
pathetic bonds before they incuIcate
theirs doctrines.
The great fault with most OF our
teaching is thai We try to force II
upon others, just as the jailers have to
feed bunch OF starvation strikers
by giving them liquid refreshmen'
thru a tube To begin with we as
sumo and give cut the impression that
our belief is the only right one and
proceed to denounce Tie man who
does not sec as we do. This is
poor way to make converts. Vinegar
never catches flies. neither do ar
guments with a mental club win men
over to your way of thinking.

tempt to get the public to eat whale
meat. In fact a group of twelve mer-
chants in Vancouver, b. c., conducted
cooperative advertising campaign
in that city telling the people that
whale meat is more nutritious than
beef and just as wholesome. The fact
was pointed out that the whale is
captured many miles at sea and away
from all shore contamination and in
perfectly clear blue water. The par
ticular whale from which the meat
was offered In this advertising, fed
exclusively on live shrimp. The meat
sold at 10c per pound

If / still love him, and don't know
what to says. C.
believe that in your case. you had
better be a little more Independent,
and accept the attentions of other
friends. and not give your time to this
young man exclusively. when he does
rot give his undivided attentions to
YOU. Unless you are engaged To him.
or You have mutually agreed not to

YOU have no right 10 feel hurt at his

that he was going with another girl
but he says he loves me more than
any girl he ever went with, and he
always treats me nice. Please give
me your advice.
IT your parents do not object there
Is no harm In your going with the
young man. Unless he Is engaged to
you. there Is no reason why he should
not call on another girl. and YOU are
foolish TO be Jealous or to let him
know that YOU care. Your Indifferent
attitude toward his attentions to
other girls will prove more effective
In retaining his devotion than TO show
him that II Is in his power to make
YOU unhappy.
