THE CAREFULLEST MAN IN THE
WORLD.
Irving Bachelor in New York Times

The Springs works done an it's up
to the sun-all the crops an the
garden sass
He's banished the cold an sowed his
gold on the flats in the medder
grass.
Les raise the fag-a better one was
never yet unfurled-
But first | want to tell We bout the
Carefullest Man in the World
Kings are kind o. careless-like with
others blood an bone,
But no one can, swear to man! be
carefuller O their own.
When I read about the German dead
before the heated guns
| think O. the King in Germany with
six uninjured sons.
Each fireside has it's martyrs who
have either died or bled;
The millions grieve for the sons who
leave an join the host O. the dead,
But the Kaiser's brood is safe an
sound-it either shirks or runs
He's the only man in Germany with
six uninjured sons.
The halt an blind an crippled line it's
byways an its roads;
Once swift an strong, they creep
along meath everlastin' loads,
An some with crippled intellects still
hear the roarin' guns,
Yet there's King in Germany with
six uninjured sons.
Such a caution in a tightin' man was
never seen before;
1t stands the while like a lonesome
isle in a mighty sea O gore.
The death an woe he recommends to
all the other Huns
Is not for him-you bet your life-or
his uninjured sons.
Each Hohenzollern battles in steel
clad limousine,
When the big shells come he's goin'
some on legs O. gasoline;
With rubber feet hell-bent for home,
the reckless hero runs,
Oh! speeds the great preserver O. the
Kaiser an his sons.
They're IKE the Dold Jachldpp1t Oil
other tribes accursed
Who have lghtnin' in their sinews an
the motto "Safety first;'
All clear the road an stand square
toed an look with rested guns
When the Kaiser starts for safety
with his fat uninjured sons.
While hunger starves the German
host, how fat the Kaiser's brood!
No gizzards yearn with cash to burn
or mind the price O food.
When the trumpet calls the Teuton
dead in the line O. crippled Huns
Just think O. the Kaiser marchln' up
with six uninjured sons!

Circus Has Not Fully Recovered From
WrAnl

The Wallace Hagenbeck circus ap-
peared in Minot Saturday and drew a
large crowd. Considering the terri
BILE calamity which befell the circus
recently, when their train was crashed
into by another near Hammond, Ind,
killing many of their very best aero
bats, very creditable performance,
was given, tho not as good as Minet
is used to seeing. Then, too, many Of
the younger athletes and acrobuts
have been called to the war, as could
be seen from the service flag which
the concern displayed at the tent en-
trance. One rather aged man with a
gray muscache, for instance, rode one
of the horses in the ring, and instead
of turning somersaults, the crowd had
to content itself with watching him
perform safer and saner stunts. One
always gets more than his moneys
worth at circus, however, SO every
body went away satisfied.

GOphers Do Immense Damage.

The gophers are doing an immense
amount of damage at the present
time. They are always more destruc-
tive in dry weather for they will trav-
el mile or so to wheat field to get
The moisture out Of the wheat stems.
3. F. Baker, a Glenburn farmer, was
curious to know just how much dam
age one measly little fickertail would
do, so watched one of them while at its
work of destruction. Within re-
markedly short time the gopher had
cut down so wheat stems and appear
ed to have only started. Farmers say
that the gophers do not pay much at
tenton to the poison now. Consider
ing the price Of grain, gophers are
actually doing more damage in some
fields than ever before.
