Employment Of an appropriation of
100000 for the building of ships
will have two salutary effects, what.
ever may be the opinion of a gov
eminent subsidy program. 1t will
put plants on basis Of capacity OPP
erations for at least two years. and
it will make the American merchant

REM EN- Der
THE ALAMO

There are times when the good peo'
pie of the north express surprise at
the way we OF the coast and Of the
Southwest feel toward the Mexicans.
Well, the death today of survivor OF
the Alamo recalls one reason why Pa.
cifc coast and Texas people hate
Mexicans and will not trust them.
Perhaps you do not know what the
Alamo was. Listen. The Alamo was
a Spanish mission in the heart of
what is now the town of San Antonio,
comprising a convent, church and a
fort. In February, 1856, during the
Texan -2- Of independence. the Mex
leans, 1000 strong. attacked the mis-
sion, which was defended by few
hundred brave Texans under the com.
mand of Col David Crockett. Col.
James Bowie-inventor OF the Bowie
knife-and Col. William d. Travis.
The Texans defended the place for
eleven days and finally. when only six
OF them remained alive. including
Travis, Bowie and Crockett, they sur
rendered.
The six were Immediately slaugh-
tered by order of Gen. Santa Anna.
And the pity of 1t is that this same
Santa Anna was permitted to live for
years afterwards and die peacefully in
bed.
So you good people of the north
wonder why We don't love the Mexi-
cans. Well, there's the answer. That
is only one answer, too. There are
hundred others.-Gazette.

THE KAISER'S
DREAM

There's story. I'm told. though
strange it may seem,
How the Great Kaiser Bill had a won
derful dream,
He was dreaming of allies as he lay in
his bed,
When his dream switched about and
he dreamed he was dead,
In very fine coffin he was lying in
state.
And thousands were there, though
none mourned his fate.
His soul buzzed about and found to
his cost
That he and his soldiers were doomed
to be lost;
He wouldn't believe it, so to heaven
went straight.
And, arrived at the portals, knocked
loud at the gate;
rHey, Peter, get busy, quick open the
door,
See who's here, its the Kaiser; make
everything roar;
Beat the drums, blow the horns, have
a swell banquet made.
Tell Colt have come and wen have
parade"
Saint Peter looked out then in voice
loud and clear,
Said, "Try down below. Bill, you can't
get in here"
Tut. tut" said the Kaiser you're
very uncivil,
Don't probably know I'm friend of
the Devil,
And I'm going with pleasure" SO he
started to go,
A-whistling like blazes, to make a big
show.
When he came to Hell's door he was
filled with dismay,
For while waiting outside he o'erhcard
Satan say:
Look here, boys. take notice. | give
you all warning.
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
in the morning;
But don't let him in, he'll start muss
ing about;
so give him the hal ha! and kich
him right out"
"Oh, Satan, dear friend" the Kaiser
then cried,
Excuse me for listening while wait
ing outside.
But please let me in. for where else
can I go7'
Indeed" said the DeYid, I'm damned
IL 1 know"
ZACH, please let me in, for I'm feelinl
quite cold.
And II you want money I've plenty o.
gold;
Let me sit in corner, no matter how
hot"
mix, neln," said the Devil, most Ger
tainIy not.
You can't gain admlttance by your
offer OF pelf;
Here arc sulphur and matches, make
Hell for yourself.
Don't skimp, u5e them freely, for, by
bonner and blltz,
I have plenty more left for the Sultan
and Fritzi"
From his troublesome sleep Bill awoke
In sweat
And said, That's a dream shall
never forget,
That I won't get to Heaven ! know
very well,
But never believed I'd be kicked out
