The Wicked Kaiser


The kaiser, so dispatches say.
would bring US dire disasters, and
loathsome agents. in his pay, are
selling poisoned plasters. With
de dly germs these plasters
swarm, like shippers in old
cheeses, and if you put one on
your form, you'll die of punk dis
eases. Der tales like this we
groan and grieve, and wiring our
hands and sniffle; we are SO easy
we believe such tinhorn brands
of piffle. The kaiser stole my
shorthorn pup, and killed my old
cat, Tabby; he put some poison IN
her cup, and knocked her cold and
fabby. The kaiser's agents come
at night, when darkness DER us
thickens, and all the cops are out
of sight, and steal my Leghorn
chickens. The kaiser sent his
loathsome spies to rob my humble
dwelling; they stole some sinkers
and three pies. and left me vainly
yelling. The kaiser's pretty busy
now, with enemies all round him,
who kick up such a beastly row
the racket must confound him.
Yet he finds leisure, while he
kills, and lodges new disasters.
to send out men with poisoned
pills, and germy porous plasters.
Oh, bunk. and piff1e! Tommyrot!
Some Ananias told it! Say, will
we ever learn to spot fake when
we behold it

The Governor is understood to be
one of those who have little hope that
war can be averted. The Governor
said:
All of them are men of approved
ability, and nearly everyone is am ex-
pert in some activity which will be
called upon for special service in
/ case of war. There are very able
! transportation men. very able indus
trial men, men thoroughly informed
upon questions of food supply, highly
capable financial men and others with
a. peculiarly broad range of general
practical knowledge and of the ways
of getting things done quickly with
out loss of energy.
II have decided to add several
ladies, probably about three, to the
commission. l believe that the wo-
men want to serve in such a matter as
this, and that it is right that they
should be represented by some of the
leaders of their SEX"
