 AND OUT
tBy United Press)

CASPER, Wyo, Oct. 19. - Re solved, that we, descendants of Swed, ish parentage, petition to our friends and relatives in the home country to not be fooled by the Swedish kaiser, but to ask that he, like the Russian czar, step down and out as they, like other dogs have all had their day"
 This was the answer of the large Swedish-American population of this city to Secretary Lansing's recent re- velation of Swedish intrigue.
 The petition, bearing several hun dred names, has been duly forwarded to the "fatherland."

LANDERS' GOODS IN
 WORLD OF VERSE
'Ich Gebibble" Writes Clever Poem on "UniYerSal' Brand.

F. B. Mitchell, lecturer for the Lan- ders, Frary & Clark Manufacturing company has composed poem, based on the "UniversaP brand of goods for which the concern is worldwide famous, and has caused no little com- ment in advertising circles that have become acquainted with his effort. MT. Mitchell has won renown by his 'Ich gebibble' poems, which have, from time to time, appeared in the Herald.k ! His latest n-child, which bears the title II Should Worry" is as follows: I loathe the modern forms of slang, Though some are clever, I abjure 'em; & They give our modern speech tang But, \spite of that, I can't endure
 em!
 Just one exception I must note If nothing but the truth I'd scribble, I say when something gets my goat, Well, I should worry!-Ich ge-
 bibble!"
 This curious phrase must surely be The product of a brain neurotic, But somehow it appeals to me
 Although the idiom's idiotic; For who of us, in English versed, Would ever say, "I would" for wouldn't? While here, the English is reversed And, T should worry" means. T
 shouldn't"
 Since joining the Don't Worry Club' The world is bright, and getting
 brighter;
 The Sage who lived within a tub Had nothing on the present writer; For when my troubles multiply, Enough to vex a Saint or Sibyl I simply wink the other eye
 And stoutly murmur "Ich gebib-
 ble!" When Spring comes round, a laugh
 ing Sprite,
 And lures me from my daily du-
 ties,
 With rod and reel 'tis my delight To whip the stream for speckled
 beauties;
 But when, at times, the wary trout Refuse to bite or even nibble I never swear, but take it out In T should worry!-Ich gebibble" There is picture, known to Fame, Of one who might be Psyche's
