THE kAlsER's TALK TO HE'LL.

The girl at central listened to
All they had to say.
Hello, she heard the Kaiser say,
Is Old Man Satan home?
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on tn phone.
The Devil said, Hello to Bill,
And Bill said, how are you?
I'm running hell here on earth.
So tell me what to do.
What can l do? the Devil said.
My dear old Kaiser Bill.
If thsre a thing chat can do
To help you sure will.
The Kaiser said now listen
And will try to tell
The way that am running
On earth a modern hell.
I've saved for this for many years
And I've started out to kill.
That it will be modern job
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium,
Shooting women and children down
We tore up all her boundary
And blowed up all her Gowns.
My Zepps dropped bombs on cities
Killing both the old anu young,
And them the Zepplins didn't get
We're taken out and hung.
I started out for Paris,
With the aid of poisonous gas
The Belgians, darn them, stopped US
And would not let us pass.
My submarines are devils
Why, you should see them fight.
They go sneaking through the sea
And will sink ship on sight.
/ was running things to suit me
Til year or so ago,
When man named Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
He says to me, dear William,
We don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U boats
| Not to sink our ships no more.
We have told you for the last time
So, dear Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it
You have gt to fight US, too.
l did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me,
| With a million Yankee soldiers
From their home across the sea.
Now, that's why called you, Satan
For l want advice from you,
I know that you will tell me
Just what had ought to do.
My dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than ! can for you in hell.
I've been mean old devil,
i But not half as mean as you,
! And the minute that Won get here

new YEAR BELLS
Custom of Ringing Them 0riqi-
mated in the Dim Past.
Believed to Have Been First used
About 400 A. D.-chImes Thought
to Be Possessed Of supernat.
ural Power.

4 LWAYS, everywhere in our land,
~ we look to the ringing of bells
to announce the death Of the old
year and the birth of the new. Not
until we actually hear the bells ringing
from the church steeples, somehow, do
we really turn to each other and ex-
claim Happy New Year,
All Of which brings US to the ques-
ton Of why people ring bells. They
seem to have figured in the life of
man way, way back IN the dim and
distant years. And they have been
used to convey messages Of various
sorts to those within sound Of their
alarm.
Among the ancient Greeks those
who made the nightly rounds of the
camps and garrisons used to ring a
bell at each sentinel box to make sure
that the soldier o. duty within was
awake. They also put bells upon the
necks of criminals to warn all people
to avoid them. The Romans used bells
to announce the hour of the bath.
1t is believed that bells were first
used in churches about 400 years after
the birth of Christ. And by the twelfth
century they were in common use In
churches all over Europe. Most Of
these, however. were hand bells, made
Of thin plates of hammered iron, bent
into a four-sided shape and fastened
with rivets and bronzed. Then gradu-
ally, as people began to hang the bells
In steeples and belfries, they became
larger.
In 1874 huge bell was cast in Mos
cow, Russia. 1t is ever twenty-one feet
In height and diameter and weighs 1913
tons. The largest bell in America is In
the Cathedral of Notre Dame, at Mon
treal, and weighs 29,4OO pounds.
In \all ages and all countries, the
material most used in the manufac-
ture Of bells has been a mixture Of
two parts Of qppper to one Of tin.
called bronze. AT present about thir-
teen parts Of copper are used to four
Of tin. Bells have been made Of iron,
steel, gold, silver, brass aud even Of
glass, though waen made Of glass they
have been found too fragile for prac-
teal use.
Back In the old days, the people be-
lieved that bells possessed supernat-
ural power; by ringing them at certain
times, they believed. storms. pestilence
and famine could be averted.

NATURE SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
Discard Things That Hinder and Re-
tain Only That Which Is HoIpful
at Dawn Of New Year.

Once again the New Year opeil Is its
door for us to enter in. The old year
is leaving us, and If we are wise we
will let him take with him all the. i'm
pedimenta that has handicapped us
during his reign. We will dismiss the
old mistakes and troubles and CRU dyes,
and entering blithely into the New
Year, we will begin all over aga in.
Mother nature has set us an xam-
pie which we will do well to 70 low.
All the good golden grain, the ripe
fruit and all other precious gifts she
has permitted us to garner and retain.
And then she proceeded to do away
with the rubbish. She put her spell
upon 1t and 1t withered and died. was
plowed under, and became the ne edful
fertilizer for another year.
And so all the good and sweet ard
beautiful things that the old year. has
given us we are permitted to keep,
We may hold onto our successes, our
helpful experiences, our beautiful men,
cries and the new friendships which
have come to US as the gift of tn e old
year, and let go of all the rubbish that
might hinder our endeavor In the year
that is just opening It's door into new
and untried ways.
Let us cast Off our old garments of
doubt and disappointment and allure,
and put on the shining garment of
hope and faith and courage. Let US
draw on all the undreamed Of so urces
within us for a broader outlook, q
more determined endeavor and great.
er accomplishment. Let us possess
ourselves of higher ideals Of life and
its privileges and responsibilities, and
determination to live up to the best
there is in us during the days of the
coming year. And above all. let US
hold fast to our faith in the goodness
ef God, for so shall we be enabl ed to
go forward. hopeful and unafrahl into
the unknown and untried ways OF. the
New Year.
