kAMPEskA AND RicHLANp.

4 ifttle boy IN der Germany. He was
q boy in der rural school. A sweet
young schoolma'am told him the tale
Of Alexander the Great %conquering
the world. She bowed Alexander up
quite unduly for the stunt. Bill took
it all in and ii struck in his craw. He
kept bordering and bordering it in his
mind as he grew up and finally he
got to be the kaiser-''it" in Germany,
and a chance to try out this conquer
ing the world business. He was sharp
enough to know he must have the
wherewith and her some. He didn't
Whisper the deal to anyone, but Just
busy and went in strong on prepared
ness" He built railway tracks and
storehouses. Bought grub by the car
load. Made all kinds of big cannon
and swords and small guns and lots
and lots of ammunition, etc. Then
he built a lot of flying machines.
About that time he got ahold of that
there book a teller wrote about the
SuDIndTlileS SllhlnS All the supply
ships, Capital idea" said Bill. Just
the thing TO go along with the flying
machines. l gotta heap of grub and
powder all bought and made up and
piled up. I'll tsrike these other fell
lows on the head fast and furious like,
before they are ready or know what's
up; they won't have a lot of grub,
cannon, etc, all ready, then with my
flying machines above, my submarines
below, ] think I'll find them easy
picking. I'll have little old historic
Europe in no time, then I'll tackle the
people across the pond. There is
a host of my people over there who
will help me out and before they can
get ready III have 'em. Then I'll have
a capital at London, Paris and Wash
ington. Well, then, / don't just know
what / will do. IN be bigger than
Alexander ever thought of, at least
could be, for he didn't have the world,
the big world, 4 mean, to onque
I've got plenty of territory to get
around in and do something"
Well, Bill followed out his plan.
He sprung his little deal on Europe
all right, but hanged if the thing is
coming out Just as he thought. He
kinder wishes now he hand't STARTED
something" The world is bigger and
stouter than he thought, and what's
worrying him % Us those d-ed
Yankees are bound to figure out some
way OF knocking the whey out of his
subsea boats
No, Bill, conquering the world in
ancient times and in the goth century
are two altogether different PROPOSE
tons. We amt using the conquering
business now except to conquer the
rum business and bad habits, etc, and
we don't persacktly take to this con-
occurring affair like you read about in
the history when you was a little
dirty listed country boy. We're afraid,
Bill, you'll have to give 'er up.
