Man Who Yelled "Hurrah for
the kaiser!"

Two men tnlking on the rear
platform of an East Tenth street car
were discussing the poor service and
how long II would take a person to get
any place by depending on the city
cars, when one Of the men said that
he had heard Of a quick way to reach
the city hospital
lie explained that while he was
down town, few days before, he had
overheard the conversation between n
man who was evidently a stranger and
another man OF Irish descent.
"Could you tell the quickest way
to get 10 the city hospitalf' inquired
the stranger.
sure said the man of Irish de-
scent, "you walk one square east, turn
20 your right aud 20 one square south.
There you will find a recruiting sta-
ton Go in there and yell: Hurrah
for the kaiserr and when you come 10
you will be in the city hospital
The man who told the story said he
thought that was one way Of reach
ing the city hospital In record-hreaking
time, but his friend did not agree with
him.
"Why don't you agree with meT'
asked the first man. Don't you think
the plan n good onef"
"Oh, the plan is all right" replied
his friend, "but ! think the destina.
tion is all wrong. Any man going into

rah for the kaiserr would make a
quick trip somewhere. but not to the
,ity hospital. / think ne would
