KAISER PHONES TO THE DEVIL.

F. J. Weiss, 1orlncE EeSi0cHt ~ A>Nr
ark, who now lives III brooklyn:
Tho Kaiser called the devil UP
On the phone one day;
The girl al central listened.
Hello she heard him say.
IT'S Kaiser Bill that's calling you,
And I'm running here hell.
What can 1 do; the devil SAID.
My dear old Kaiser Bill:
THE hell on earth I'm running
Is modern yet until
I Get sorT.r good advice from you,
And show me how to kill.
II started out in Belgium
Shooting men and women down:
I tortured little children
And blew up every town.
Ny Zeps dropped bombs on babies,
We killed them in their beds.
And what the Zcppelins didn't get
NV sword cut off their heads.
Il started then for Paris
With the aid Of poisonous gas:
The French and English stopped me.
And would not let me pass
FOR forty years I laid my plans;
was after old /. ~ :.
But when the Yankees heard OF this.
Why, you must only guess.
My submarines have failed me-
I planned An awful fight.
But Tncl- Sam was wide awake.
And Kept them out Of sight
ct was running things to suit me.
But l found it rather tough
When a man named Woodrow Wilson
Said You've travelled far enough
He wrote to me. Dear Wilhelm
These words were on his lips.
You must tell the C-boats
Stop sinking L. :. ships.
IT tell you for the last time.
Now. Bill IT'S up to you.
And if you do not stop il
You'll have to fight US. too.
OF course. I wouldn't listen.
Eut threw an awful bluff;
With a million L. s. soldiers
I find It quite enough.
I'm. afraid it's almost over,
Me and Gott' will hide;
My army all believed me
NJ matter how lied.
"Oh. why did deceive them.
And tell them We have won.
When my men are dead all over.
Being gathered by the TOM
I'm bottled up completely.
You must toll IN" what 10 do;
Before they starve my army.
I'll leave it all 10 you.
IT have nothing moro to say now
And do not care a damn.
But when | look for fight again
'Twon't be with Uncle Sam.
Now. that is why phoned you.
My heart is turned to stone:
hone TIM, you will help rue
Before | lose my throne"
The Devil Replied:
NV dear old Kaiser wilhelm.
There's not much here. To tell.
For the Tanks will make it hotter
Than l can here in hell.
"1f 4 million L. s. soldiers
Hav" proved to be enough.
And the camps all titled with fighters,
You'll be handled pretty rough.
My job has been a greedy one.
But yer I'm not so bad.
For | never had a record
That has made so many sad
"Onn time your room. WAS ready,
Till tho Yanks began to fight,
But now I'll hank my fires
And say to you good night!
Tho L. S boys will get you.
And all tho Huns rs we'll;
Hang up the phone. you butcher:
There's no room here in hell"

Peace Of Amiens Nullified 1ritaln's

can Territory IN 1895.

Early ID the wars Of the French
Revolution Holland was forced to be-
come an ally Of Great Britain. A Brit.
ish fleet appeared off Cape Town in
August, 1895, and the colony surren-
dered on September 16. For seven
years Britain held the country, spend.
ing fully eight million dollars in i'm
proving 1t. Monopolies were taken of
trade. torture was abolished, and pros
perity prevailed, whereas before the
colony had been on the verge Of ruin.
In 1902 the Peace Of Amiens secured
for Napoleon breathing spell, which
he used in preparing still greater at
tacks upon the liberties Of Europe. BY
this treaty Cape Colony was restored
to Holland. War was resumed in 1906,
with Holland an ally once more of
France. Again the British captured
Cape Colony, and when peace was def
nitely settled In 1915, after Waterloo,
Britain retained South Africa, paying
Holland six million pounds sterling,
the colonies Of Demerara, Essequibo
and Berbice being included In the sale.
The population consisted Of 26,70O
whites, holding 1880 slaves, and IT,
$50 free Hottentots. Britain sup
pressed the slave trade and in 1884 the
slaves were emancipated by the Brit

First frame AtIantIc Liner.

The astonishing, development OF
Americas shipbuilding industry with
in the last few years makes certain
,that our merchant marine will soon
be restored to the supremacy 1t once
held. and recalls the launching at New
York, just 100 years ago, Of the first
transatlantic liner to be operated by
steam power. She was the famous Sa-
vannah, vessel of $50 tons. The
crank who thought 1t was possible for
ship to cross the Atlantic by steam
power was william Scarborough Of Sa.
vannah. The Savannah left New
York for the home city of her builder
on April 10, 1919, and a little more
than month later cleared for Liver
pool, where she was. given a rousing
welcome. as the first steam vessel to
cross the ocean. The trip was made
In four days less than a month. From
Liverpool the Savannah proceeded to
st. Petersburg, and in December, 1919,
she was again in her home port.-New
York World.

M Plans are maturing for national
convention of the Non-partisan
league to be held at st. Paul early
4 in December and lasting for several
days. Delegates from all the states
where the league is organized will
meet at st. Paul and notice has
been published that a reorganization
may be made, giving the membership
more power than they have had here
tof0re. The organization articles Of
association have kept the power In
the hands Of three men to delegate
the power turnout the whole juris-
diction. considerable criticism has
been made OF the method, especially
the fact thatithe articles of associa-
ton provide that these three men,
constituting the head committee,
have power to perpetuate them
selves in Office Indefinitely. Two
members of the committee elect a
third member OF the committee every
four years. That makes 1t possible for
them to stay in office as long as
they live and exercise autocratic
power. over the whole membership.

swItzerIand's clpsles.

Just 500 years ago, writes a CORE
spondent Of the Neue Zurcher Zeitung,
our forefathers in the city on the Linn
mat had new experience. A motley
army Of people came into Switzerland
from the east and camped just out
side the walls Of Zurich for two weeks.
They numbered some $4,000 persons,
men, women and children. These
swarthy wayfarers. according to an
old chronicle, were commonly known
as gipsies or heathens. They said
they had been driven out of Egypt.
Their clothing was miserable, but they
wore many ornaments Of gold and sill
yer, maintained perfect order and dis
cipline. and paid punctually for all
they ate and drank. After seven
years. wanderings they are said to
have returned to their original home.
This was the first appearance Of gip-
sizes in Switzerland.

lreland's Round Towers.

No one knows exactly when or why
the round towers in, Ireland were
built, but some believe that the druids
erected them as watch towers and
places to which to 60 for safety in
time Of danger. A good many of the
towers have the tops broken down and
those which show the cone tops intact
have mostly been restored. There is
no door on the ground, the doors be-
ing purpOsely built at about 10 or
10 feet from the ground and were
reached by ladders.
After the people had climbed inside
they drew their ladders up after them
and thus were out of reach of the
Danes who frequently invaded the
country. The tiny windows OF these
towers are far up toward the top also.
About 80 round towers remain in Ire
land, but only few Of them are per-
feet. According to one authority, they
were probably built between the 9th
and 18th centuries.

Even the lads Of nine and twelve
years at the old Indian settlement of
La Push, nesting behind the pinnacle
rocks that rise out Of the Pacific ocean
off the mouth Of the Quillayute river
in Washington, are doing their siiare
toward winning the war. The lads,
half dressed, dash across. the beach
to meet the incoming tide, wade into
the water and wait for the waves to
break with fish. AS the combers break
the lads dash into the boiling surf
and rake the ocean for fish. FIRE.
quently the waves dash over the boys
heads, but they never lose their foot
Ing and the danger Of the work does
not excite more than passing attention
from the old women weaving baskets.
During the day the Indians at La
Push village average fully a ton of
fish caught with dip nets. The older
men help with the curing when their
days work is done, but It is the boys
task to capture the FISH. g',' 4

anything one might imagine. It is
also an exceedingly profitable method
Of earning a livelihood that is, If you

The snakes are collected for the
sake Of their venom, substance that,
like radium, Is valued by the grain, a
pound Of 1t being worth about f5OO. It
is In active demand by chemists and
is obtained, as far as Australia is con-
cerned, from only three species of
snakes--the death adder, the brown
adder and the tiger snake.
The reptiles must be caught unin-
jured, and 1t goes without saying that
the business demands considerable
skill and agility on the part Of those
following 1t.
Tiger snakes are the best, for they
carry most venom; and they are still
numerous in the more remote parts of
the seldom-visited interior.

FOR FULL YEARS WORK

The Idaho Technical institute
plans, in order to make up the time
lost during the influenza epidemic,
to shorten both semesters so that
the burden will not fall upon the first
alone. This means that the first
semester examinations will occur
during the latter part of February
Of the first of March and full semes-
ter credits will be given to all those
completing required work.
Students should return to school
Immediately upon it's opening, the
date Of which will be announced as
soon as possible. II students do not
return after Christmas holidays they
will be entering the middle Of the
semester and would secure credit
with difficulty. The Intention Of the
institute faculty is to cut short all
holidays and by making the work
more intensive permit students to re-
ceive fulk credit for full years
work.
Students planning to enter for
winter semester or night school
should, also enter at the earliest OPP

APPEALED TO BOYS IN KHAKI
Flirtatious Damseis Had No Chance
When Busy Little knitter Ap-
peared on the Scene.

Two girls travelling on a train
through Hoosierdom could have learn
ed lesson from plain little Indiana
school teacher, had they been wise
enough to do SO. They were going on
a pleasure trip and determined to have
pleasure all the way. On the train
they munched candy, read magazines,
played rhum and tried in every way
they could to attract the attention Of
two uniformed young men near them
but all in vain.
The little school teacher, who was
on her way to attend q county insti-
tute,. got on the train at little country
town. Shyly she entered the car, quiet
ly she took q seat across from the two
girls, who were rather noisy In their
efforts to gain notice, and Immediately
after she was settled she began to fin
ish a beautiful knitted soldier sweater.
Industriously she worked-so intent
ON her work that she noticed no one.
But the people noticed her and ap-
preciated her zeal and the quality Of
her patriotism. They smiled whenever
they passed her seat and proffered her
the loan of their papers and books,
And before many miles had been trav7
eled one Of the khaki-clad youths was
beside her and the other one opposite.
The sweater had been examined. the
process of making 1t explained to the
youths, and now they were telling the
little teacher camp stories.
The two girls giggled and remarked
about "some peoples tastes" because
they didn't MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Word SuuaW.

The word squaw. the term for an
Indian woman, is said to have been
taken from the language Of band Of
Indians In New England known as the
Narragansets, and is probably an abb
breviation of the word eskwaw. Years
ago the word was carried over the
length and breadth Of Canada and the
United States, and came to be used
even by the Indians on the western
reservations, who have taken 1t from
the whites. A "squaw man" is an Indian
who does w0man's work also a white
man married to an Indian woman and
who lives with her people. After the
squaw have been named, squaw berry,
the partridge berry; squaw flower, the
plant known as trillium erecttum !;
squaw mint, the American pennyroyal I;

Canadian Northwest to designate q
