Camouaage Marriage
Confidential Correspondence from the
Devil to the Kaiser.
DECIDED by Eugene n. Blake Of The

Internal Palace. Hades.
Dearest Wilhelm
You may think I'm Jealous Of you
because you have outdone me in
thinking UP new deviltries to inflict on
the human oh. no. Fact is.
sometimes l get real proud Of you be-
cause kultur and frightfulness are my
pet theories and you are my star
pupil. M
But the world does not really ap-
precfate the cleverness Of some Of
your schemes, my boy. Whenever
your kultured armies were retreating
to victory in France, leaving railroads
and highways smashed, homes and
factories burned, wells poisoned, and
v fruit trees cut, not to mention
the shrines of the Christ dynamtted
and the purity Of innocent mother
hood P~russianized, unthinking people
merely wondered why such orgies OF
anger and hate. You see, my dear
appreciate the amazingly skilful plan
you had behind it all. At first, I my
self failed to catch the wonderful
symphony of it's hellishness.
True, you have spent an awful lot
Of German blood and. I suppose,
about all your peoples money! But
have you not fringed the fatherland
with ash-heaps where once were
humming cities, and with shell holes
where your inferior neighbors neglect
ed kultur while tending their f1ocke
and harvests? OF course, your fac
tories stand. and that. Belgian ma
chinery is waiting to fill new ones.
French and Belgian and Russian
slaves till your fields and dig your
mines. oh, gee, Wilhelm, If you
could only give the rest of the world
a good old strong German peace like
the n you gave Russia. how would
they rel catch up with Germany be-
fore your next war?
have enough mon left to start another
war. This is just where the very
cleverest part Of your general plan fits
in. But you must not let so much
leak out about 1t. If a super-poly-
gamy is to be practiced to breed your
next army of ku1tur. better keep the
plan on the quiet. The inferior ma
tions will become sven. more sus
picious II your press and platform
have much more to say about lateral
marriages." and secondary mar
new German soldiers. Wonderful
idea, though. il you can get you men
and ONE to think Of themselves as
cattle. Better see that no more OF
your German officers are captured
with written suggestions on them
about such matters. And while I
think of 1t, see that that Society Of
Regeneration" and the "Hammar
Community" and tho rest Of tho or
ganizations carnouhage the business at
least with the name Of marriage. It
would sound better and leave the In
ferior nations less suspicious. OF
course, it's a good Idea to. let Karl
Torges' book on the new} German
polygamy circulate in Germany. It
may go In Turkey also. But better
not disgust the outside inferior ma
tons with It.
But now. my dear Kaiser, about this

plan of tearing the boy babies away
from the breasts Of their captured
mothers to raise them up into Ger
man soldiers. Do you . think that
practical? I know they will be rails
ed scientifically in your German
orphan asylums, but think Of the
hate it piles up against Germany. And
as to forcing German motherhood on
the women and girls of captured ter
ritory. OF course, this breeds more
creatures to slave for Germany and
fight for you, but then it breeds more
hate to grow outside Germany and
engulf you. At least. it might help to
delay our good. old strong German
peace.

No longer flies on high.

Many a vulture in Gods clear sky
Lies silent by his will.

Bought His Coffin
Six Months Ago

It has developed that Uncle Noah
Meas, whose mysterious death was
announced in Fridays Daily Sun,
purchased his coffin some six months
ago, and had it taken to his home in
the Third District. While this may
have nothing to do with the theory
Of suicide that seems to prevail, it
goes to prove that "Uncle Noah" had
made all arrangements looking to the
end. However, it is not an uncom-
mon thing to have some of the old
mountain people select their coffin
and keep it in readiness. Col. Mitch
ell, the undertaken here for forty
years past, tells us that there are
any number of people he could men,
ton that have had their equipment"
on hands for some time. One old
gentleman apparently purchased his
much too soon, and it was shifted
around from one place to another
so often that finally the winter sup
ply of dried fruit was stored away

GRoTToEs OF SHENANDOAH.

The writer, with his family, has
just returned from a two weeks mo-
tor trip through Virginia, West Vir-
GINA, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
the District of Columbia, and saw
at Washington the famous Corcoran
Art Gallery, the world-famed Con-
gressional Library building, the Pan
American building, erected at a cost
of $1,10O,OOO, three-fourths of
which was paid for by Andrew Car
negie, and many other rare and in
teresting structures, the works of
man, but far surprising any of these
are the Grottoes of the Shenandoah,
the work of nature with its stalac-
tites hanging from the roof of the
cave and its stalagmites extending
upward from the floor, in some
places meeting and forming solid
columns from dome to floor. IAe
writer has had the pleasure Of visit
to the Mammoth cave of Kentucky,
but without hesitation pronounces
this far more interesting and marvel
Gus. The different colors developed
by the indirect electric lighting GER
tainly cannot be excelled, if indeed
equalled anywhere. The trip is also
much more desirable than that OF the
Mammoth cave, because of the ease
with which you make the trip; the
floor being practically level and dry.
For an hour and a half you are
perfectly bewildered with the forma-
tions which embrace, among others,
the Senate Chamber, the Inferno,
the Robbers Den, the Bridal Cham
Der, the Geological Gardens, Solo
mons Temple, the Arrnory, the Ball
Room, the Persian Palace, the Sen
tinels, the Cataract, Shell Room, and |
perhaps above all, the Cathedral,
which is 26O feet long, 80 feet wide
and varying in height from 30 to go
feet. About midway down the cham.
Der is an immense isolated stalag.
mite in which many fancy resem-
blance to George Washington. A
mammoth sunhower with colors as
richly delicate as any genuine floral
specimen is here seen. Looking in
any direction in the Cathedral some
thing Of admiration meets the eye.

the pendants, the vari-colored stuccO
and fretwork of the ceiling, the will
