THE DEVIL RESIGNS

The devil sat by the lake OF fire
On a pile of sulphur kegs.
His head was bowed upon his breast
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dripped from his eyes
He was sending a resignation
To the throne up in the skies,
I'm down and out" the devil saic.
He said it with sob,
"There are others that outclass me
And l want to quit my job.
"Hell isn't in it with the land
That lies along the Rhine,
I'm old and out Of date
And therefore l resign.
one Krupp munition maker
With his bloody shot and shell
Knows more about damnation
Than all the imps of hell
Give my job to Kaiser Bill
Or to Ferdinand and the czar.
Or the Sultan Abdul Hamid
Or some such men of war.
Il hate to leave the old home,
The spot love so we'll,
hut ! feel that Pm not up to dat
In the art Of running hell"
And the devil spat squirt of stear
Al brimstone humble bee
And muttered, I'm outclassed by
Hohenzollern deviltry"

Not One Casualty
In this command there was not one
casualty, despite the length Of its
stay at the front and the fact that
the Germans shelled the American
artillery heavily several times. The
officers said that the night the Amer
ican trench was raided the artillery
got into action quickly and poured a
counter barrage into No Mans Land.
They were sure the prevented all the
Germans from reaching the trench,
and that some of the Germans never
got back alive. The officers and
men were proud of their ability to
handle their guns in this manner.
The members of the crew which
fired the first shot at the Germans ad-
mitted that they enjoyed the expert
ence greatly. One gunner remarked
that he would rather have had that
experience and honor as buck pri-
vate" than to be a Major General.
The crew is composed of youngsters.
They came from South Bend, New
York. Minneapolis. Chicago. Balt-

GEL ,EBRATE THRIFT DAY

Thrift Day will be recognized
throughout the country tomorrow as a
systematic attempt on the part of lead
ing fnanciers to induce people in all
walks of life to become savers and not
spendcrs. Every day in the year
should be thrift day, OF course With
those who have learned the lesson un-
tioubtedly every day is.
Many well-to-dO families with good
incomes are too easy going to worry
about minor household expenses, and
even think there is something wrong
in scrutinizing too closely the monthly
grocery bill.
They are wrong. Indifference and
waste are the real things to be asham-
ed of. The wise man, whether he has
much or little, takes care of his pen
niles. Though he be generous in thou
