THE CRIME OF THE TEUTON CHIEFS

By Rees d. Rees Denver, Colo, Bar.
Through boundless space the wild winds blow,
Weird and sad as they moaning go,
Hurting shrekng, the spheres round,
Upward and onward, Heaven bound,
Bearing aloft their burdens sad,
The bloody tales of men gone mad
Ger Heavens great ramparts far and wide
Mount the terrors of battle tide,
With crash and din and mighty roar,
The angels there ne'er heard before:
While mournful sad, the songs they sing,
Till time shall better tidings bring.
Mad and heartless. souls dead within
Scourged and deuged with mortal sin,
The sin OF greed for might and power,
The Teuton chiefs have sought the hour
The world to smte, and lowly lay,
The rights of men meath tyrant sway.
Seething with pain the tortured world
Battles amain with flags unured
With mighty tread its soldiers brave,
Move grandly it's light to savel
Red their swords gttrng in the sun!
Thee they'll conquer, thou brutal Hun!
Fiend incarnate! The hosts of hell
Are rampant, wild meath their spell,
Fain wouldst thou now, the world enfood,
With murder intrigue, lust and blood,
That thou might st rule, with evil hate,
though Heaven itself bemoan mans fate.
Creation shreks and stands aghast
As Ger the earth thy withrng blast,
Profanes the works of Him high
And millions many bleed and die,
While children cry and women weep
4e Ieuton chief! Gods not asleep!
Eternal God, whose mighty hand
Clasps all the spheres as grains of sand,
VINO loVeth mercy, justice, right
VIII end fore'er thy cank'ring blight.
Q blaspheme His holy name
Nor vaunt He shares thy dreaded shamei
Earth's trumpets shall unceasng sound
Her sabers gleam till victry crowned.
Useless thy empty cries for peace
Until thy menace wholly
Crushed thou shalt be! Tis Heavens decree
The world wide DER, shall be free!
No longer servient to thy call,
The manhood of thy country, all
Will join the world, and (God be praised),
Thy tyrant flag to earth be razed;
Then soon will dawn the golden day,
When Right not Might the world shall sway.
Christ veth yet! Will live!
His life in vain He did give!
Hark anew! His and its call
Down the ages the echoes fall!

Americans

They've gone to war
Gone "Over There" beyond the sea,
Their holy duty to perform.
Worthy sons of noble mothers,
Noble sons of worthy fathers,
Offering life as sacrifice
That Human Right shall ever live.
They've gone to war
Gone where the DEVILS black-muzzled guns
Belch and roar and spew their vomit-
A monstrous thing to it seems,
Yet it could be no otherwise
While World Freedom was insecure
Within felon's outlaw grasp.
They've gone to war
Gone where the blacklist imps of hell,
All honor gone all manhood lost
Make war on children yet unborn.
God give them courage sand and grit
To carry on to victory
Bringing Peace forevermore

DURING THE ANNUAL STOCK
show in Denver last week there was
considerable complaint from visitors
about being feeced. Along Seven
teenth street and in some of the hotels
the barber shops robbed visiting pa
irons right and left. 1t is not be-
lieved this was the fault of the jour
neymen so much as it was by instruc-
ton of the boss BARRIERS to "charge
the limit and give the customer more
than he wanted" Complaint was
made of restaurants doubling prices
on stock show visitors and in few
instances the victims drew attention
of the police department to these
overcharges. Poker games conducted
in hotel rooms and in back rooms of
cigar stores grabbed many hundreds

After her sisters had disappeared,
Connie considered the days program.
"Tll pick the cherries while it's cool.

I'll call on the Persons, and they'll
probably invite me to stay for lunch

a garment suitable for c~herry-tree serv-
ice. from a rag bag in the closet at the
head of the stairs, she resurrected
some remains of last summers ap-
parel. First she put on a blue calico,
but the skirt was so badly torn in
places that it proved insufficiently pro-
tecting. Further search brought to
light another skirt, pink, in a still
worse state of delapidation. However,
since the holes did not occur simultane-
Ously in the two garments, by wearing
both she was amply covered. For a
waist sheswore a red crepe dressing
sacque, and about her hair she tied q
broad, ragged ribbon Of red to protect
the soft waves from the ruthless twigs'
She looked at herself in the mirror
Nothing daunted by the sight of her
own unsightliness, she took a bucket
and went into the back yard.
Gingerly che climbed into the tree
gingerly because Connie was not fond
of scratches on her anatomy, and then
began her task. 1t was a glorious
morning. The birds, frightened away
by the living scare-crow in the tree
perched in other, cherryless trees
around her and burst into derisive
song. And Connie, light-hearted, free
from care, in love with the whole wide
world, sang, too, pausing only now
and then to thrust a ripe cherry be-
tween her teeth.
She did not hear the prolonged ring
ing Of the front door bell. She did not
observe the young man in the most i'm
maculate of white spring suits who
came inquiringly around the house. But
when the chattering of a saucy robir
became annoying, she flung a cherry al
him GROSSLY.

the panama was costly because they
had wanted to buy one for her fathers
birthday, but decided not to.

smiling socially.
Connie wilted completely at that.

The Twins Have a Proposal.

1t was half past three on a delight.
full summer afternoon. The twins
stood at the gate with two hatless
youths, performing what seemed to be
the serious operation of separating
their various tennis rackets and shoes
from the conglomerate tumble. Finally,
laughing and calling back over their
shoulders, they sauntered lazily up the
walk toward the house, and the young
men set off in the direction from
which they had come. They were hard
ly out of hearing distance when the
front door opened, and Aunt Grace
beckoned hurriedly to the twins.
"Come on, quick" she said. "Where
in the world have you been all day?
Did you have any luncheon? Mrs. For
rest and Jim were here, and they in
vited you to go home with them for
a week in the country. / said I knew
you'd want to go, and they promised
to come for you at four, but I couldn't

"At Forrests'?"
"Come on, Lark, sure we have time
enough. Well be ready In fifteen min
utes."
"Come on up, Auntfe; We'll tell you
where we've been"
The twins flew up the stairs, their
aunt as close behind as she deemed
safe. Inside their own room they
promptly and ~ungracefully kicked off
their loose pumps, tossed their tennis
shoes and racquets or the bed, and be-
gan Juggling at the cords Of their
MILDLY blouses.
"You go and wash, Carol" said Lark,
"while l comb. Then / can have the

her chair and adjust the silken shawl.
Mr.. Hedges introduced himself, feeling
horribly foolish in the presence of the
lovely serving girl, and wishing she
would take herself off. But she lin
gered effectively, whispering softly:
"Shall l lower the window, mad
anne? Is it too cool? Your bottle,
madame"
And the guest rubbed his hand
swiftly across his face to hide the
slight twitching of his lips.
Then the model maid disappeared,
and presently the sweet daughter of
the house, charming in the gray silk
null and satin slippers, appeared, smil-
ing, talking, full of vivacity and life.
And after a while the dashing tennis
girl strolled in, smiling i~nscrutably
into the eyes that turned so quizzically
toward her. For a time all went well.
The chaperoning aunt occasionally
lifted a dainty cologne bottle to her
sensitive nostrils, and the daughter of
the house carried out her girlish Vi
vacity to the point of utter WEAKNESS.
Connie said little, but her soul ex-
banded with the foretaste Of triumph.
Dinner is served, madame" said
the soft voice at the door, and they
all walked out sedately. Carol adj
justed the invalid auntie's shawl once
more, and was ready to go to the
Kitchen when a quiet:
won't Miss Carol sit down with
u.s." made her stop dead in her tracks.
He had pulled a chair from the cor
ner up to the table for her, and she
dropped into it. She put her elbows
on the table, and leaning her dainty
chin in her hands, gazed ~thoughtfully
at Connie, whose eyes were bright with
the fires of victory.
"Ah, Connie, 1 have hopes Of you
yet-you are improving" she said gen
thy. "Will you run out to the kitchen
and bring me q bowl of soup, my
child?"
And then came laughter, full and
free-and in the midst of it Carol
looked up, wiping her eyes, and said:
"Tm sorry now I didn't let you kiss
me, just to shock father!"
But the visit was a great success.
Even Mr.. Starr realized that. The
m~illionaire's son remained in Mount
Mark four days, the cynosure of all
eyes, for as Carol said, "What's the
use of bothering with a m~illionaire's
son If you can't brag about him?"
And his devotion to his fathers col
lege chum was such that he wrote to
him regularly for a long time after,
and came westward now and again to
renew the friendship so auspiciOusly
begun.
But you can't call him a problem,
father" said Carol keenly. "They
aren't problematic until they discrimi.
nate. And he doesn't. He's as fond
Of Comics conscience as he is Of my
complexion, as far as / can see" She
rubbed her velvet skin regretfully. She
had two pimples yesterday and he
never eve noticed them. The she
leaned forward and smiled. 'Father,
you keep an eye on Connie. There's
something in there that we aren't on
to yet" And with this cryptic re-
mark, Carol turned her attention to
a small jar of cold cream the drug.
