ACADEMY
KAISER BILLS XMAS STOCKING

About August 1914, a great de-
sire was aroused in the heart Of
Kaiser Bill. This desire was to
receive in his stocking Christmas
morning, certain documents show
ing him to be the chief executive
in charge of England, France,
Italy, and possibly even America.
Now Kaiser Bill did not need all
these. out just as a dog wants
twice the meat it can eat, so Bill
wanted this territory. He decided
to write Santa a letter and this is
what he wrote:
My Dear Son, the Crown Prince:
You will please take our armies
and get control of the whole world
for me. (Signed) Wilhelm.
Now Kaiser Bill did not expect
miracles TO happen, so he did not
hang up his stocking the first
Christmas, but cOntented himself
with the thought that next Christ
mas would be his happy time. Time
went on; two Defenders passed,
and still Bill had not gotten cOur-
age enough TO hang up his stock
ing. But as the fourth winter be-
gan to draw nigh, and as the clown
prince and his armies were making
great Roadway, Bill began to plan
for a big Christmas. Now he was
of a selfish nature, and wished to
show himself off. So he according
ly invited some Of his friends in
to see him empty his Christmas
stocking. His friends were the rulers
of Austria, Turkey and few small
countries which were in league
with him. Since it was Christmas
eve, they were all sitting about the
fire, talking Of the morrow. The
discussion arose as TO who should
get the benefit Of Bills presents.
Bills friends thought he ought to
divide with them, or at least let
them use his things part OF the
time. But Bill who was big
bully, would only sneeringly laugh
and say "Neini Neinl" with the re-
suit that when they went 10 bed
they were all in very bad humor.
The next morning Bill arose very
early and prepared TO empty his
stocking. Now the clown prince
had not been having as large a
success as his loving daddy be-
lieved. In fact, he had been hav-
ing no success whatever; so pos
sibly Bill was just a little too fast.
Al any rate after his friends had
awakened, he led them 20 where his
stocking was hanging, and while
they were all looking on, he ran his
hand into the stocking. As his hand
sank deeper and he found no such
papers as he was expecting, his
complexion changed from red, 10
white, and from white 20 sickly
green. Things came 10 a climax
when he saw his fingers come out
the toe OF his stocking. That re-
ceptacle contained but one thing,
and that was a hole. Bill looked
so very funny that his friends be-
gan 10 laugh and TO tease him in a
way that will make him long re-
member his Christmas stocking.
