There's story current though strange it may
Of the great Kaiser Bill. and a wonderful dream
Being tired of the Allies, he lay down in bed,
And amongst other things he drsam he dead,
And in fine coffin lying in state.
With his cold WaXen features frozen in hate
He was not long dead till he found, to his cost
That his soul like his soldiers would soon be lost.
On leaving this earth, 10 heaven he went straight
Arriving up there, gave knock at the gate;
But Saint Peter looked out and in voice loud and clear
Said, "Begone Kaiser Bill We don't want you here"
Well" said the Kaiser, that's rather uncivl
| suppose after that | must go to the devil"
So he turned on his heel and away he did 60
At the top of his speed to the regions below
But when he got there he was filled with dismay.
For, waiting out there he heard Old Nick say
TO his imps Nov look here, boys give you warning
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here in the morning
But don't let him in, for to me its quite clear,
He's very bad man and we don't want him here
II once he gets in there'll be end Of quarres,
In fact I'm afraid he'll corrupt our good morals
% Satan, dear friend" the Kaiser then cried,
Excuse me for listening while waiting outside,
If you don't admit me, say where can go%
Indeed" said the Devil. Il really don't know
"Oh, do let me in I'm feeling quite cold,
And if you want money, have plenty Of gold
Let me sit in corner no matter how hot
No no." said the Devil Most certainly not
We don't admit folks here for riches pef
Here's sulphur and matches, make hell for Yourself
Then he kicked Wilhelm out and he vanished in smoke,
And Just at that moment the Kaiser awoke
He jumped out of bed in a shiyering sweat
And said Well that's dream I'll never forget
That won't get to heaven, know very we'll,
But it's really too bad to be kicked out of hell"

HIGH SPEED PLANES
 HAVE BAD HANDICAP

LONDON.-'It would very easy for any English airplane manufac- turer to produce machine which could make better than 25O miles an hour," declared Captain W. G. Aston, one of the leading French ex- perts on air mechanics. here the other day.
 "This could be accomplished" he explained, "by merely altering the curvature, or camber, of the planes. But this would mean a minimum landing speed of about 15O miles an hour, and there is the great difficulty. The machine would be unquestionably flyable, but its sue cessful landing would require an aerodrome five or six miles long. to say nothing of extraordinary skill on the part of the pilot"

OLD COURTHOUSE IS
 IN USE AS A HOTEL

SEATTLE.-So great has been the demand upon Seattle and cities of Puget Sound engaged in govern ment shipbuilding, for houses to accommodate workers, visiting sol diers and sailors, that Seattle has obtained the use of the old King county courthouse for a dormitory. 1t IS planned to put 1,5OO cots in the building with "trusties" from the county jail assigned to the role of chambermaids. The courthouse was abandoned by the county ad- ministration three years ago when the new building was ready for use.
