'sThe Kaiser and the Crown Prince"

Grown Prince said,

And yet you repeat as you stand on
your head,
That the French have no stomach to
fight"

piled with frown, 7
Things appear in their proper per-
spective,
The French as see them are all up
side down
And that Is my only objective"
"You are DID," said his son, yet you
manage somehow
To run things quite at your ease,
Last month in the east you were gass-
ing and now
You submarine ships on the seas"
II will tell, said the kaiser, "a secret
to you,
Thave proved it again and again,
In this war the safest and best thing
to do
Is to claim that your foe is to blame"
"You are DID," said the prince, land
of course, you're my dad,
And as such I am bound to obey you,
But this failure at Arras makes me
feel bad
And ! wonder it doesn't dismay you"
II am tired of your talk" Kaiser Will

cranky:

&c. W. Wattles Coyly Comes Forth as Poet

Introducing Mr.. Gurdon w. Wat
ties, street car magnatc, banker, club
man, exposition manager, philanthro-
pist, and poet
Meet Mr.. Wattles, ladies' and gen
tlemcn.
Some of his intimate friends have
known that Mr. Wattlcs writes verse
for his own satisfaction, but prior to
this time he has not come before the
world as a poet Down at Lincoln
last night, however, he uncovered a
new phase of his many-Sided activi-
ties, and instead of telling stories to
fill out his aftcr-dinner talk to the
states historians, he recited some OF
his own poems.
One OF these is a tribute to work,
inspired, Mr.. Wattles said, by the
pleasure he felt on returning from a
long trip and looking forward to
again taking up his duties in his Of
flee. Its thought has been presented
many times, but not in the form he
has given it. This poem is:
The Joy OF work comes back to me-
The end OF rest viii welcome he.
Like battle horse at clash OF arms,
That champs his bit at wars alarms,
| long for work that must be done,
For contests TO be fought and won.
] pity men who do not know
That they must harvest what they SOW;
That idleness breeds want and sloth,
While work brings happiness and growth;
That every task that is we'll done
Gives strength for others yet to come.
The backsmith's arm grows big and strong,
His heart is filled with love and song.
The idler gets no strength from strife,
For him there is no JOY in life.
To feel the pride OF victories won
The work at hand must be we'll done.
II fate withholds the hearts desires
Till courage fails and hope expires,
The world is blank II then we shirk
The healing virtues OF hard work.
No sorrow Is too hard to hear
For working men who do and dare
Tho grain is ripe, the rearers few
For all who will there's work to do.
For leaders there is great demand
Who will for right and justice stand.
And so | hear with JOY the call
To come and work. to stand or fall
