The devil sat by lake of fire
On q pile of sulphur kegs.
His head was bowed upon his breast,
His tail between his legs.
A lock Of shame was on his face,
The sparks dropped from his eyes.
He had sent up his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
I'm down and out" the devil said;
He said it with a sob;
There are others that out-class me,
And want to quit my job.
He'll isn't in it with the land
That lies along the Rhine;
I'm a has-been and a piker,
And therefore resign.
One ammunition maker,
With his bloody shot and she'll
Knows more about damnation
Than all the imps in hi.
Give my job to Kaiser William,
The author of this war;
He understands it better
A million times by far.

The spot l love so well,
But feel I'm not up-to-date
In the art of running hell.

STRANGE SECRET
DIES WITH HIM

ST. PAUL MINI, Aug. Is-The
mysterious John Jeremy, who for
forty-tWo ysars made his living by
recovering the bodies OF persons
drowned In lakes and rivers OF thu
Northwest, ended his career recently
by committing sufcids after having
shot and killed an acuuaihtence In .
quarrel over q woman
Jeremy. who was seventy-thres
years old, died without disclosing his
uncanny method OF bringing bodies
to the surface.
One Of his notable feats took place
shortly before his death when he re-
covered the body Of Miss Helen
Learned, OF St Paul, who was drown
ed in Lake Phelan several weeks pre-
viouG The lake bed had been raked
scores Of times and hope had been
abandoned when "FishermGn John"
as Jeremy was known, came up from
his home In saltwater, near here, and
announced that he would md the
body. The recovery brought his total
of bodies found to 1o4-
He collected 800 for his work and
returned to saltwater, where the
shooting followed
HFisherman John" smiled blandly
when the many theories as to his
strange methods OF bringing up
bodies came to his ears. But he kept
his secret
He worked alone and always ct
aIght. He Iked . starry sky, but the
silyery rays of q full moon seemed
To hamper rather than aid him Some
persons wkO for years had studied
the pecuIiarities. Of Jeremy, who was
q half-breed, claimed he used trained
muskrats to locate the missing
corpse. Others claimed he knew the
freaky twists and turns of the cur
rents SO well that he needed no other
aid.
SFisherman John" began his unique
profession in 1876 and his efficiency
soon attracted the attention Of the
entire Northwest and he received
large gums for the recovery of many
Of the bodies.
