A MOTTO FOR ALL

A motto we noticed on one Of the
floats in the Lancaster parade July 4
read, Our Government is not perfect,
but we don't know of better one. =
This sentiment should be inscribed
upon a bronze tablet and placed in a
prominent place in every city and vii
lage in the land. It's gospel truth
and every person enjoying the privil-
eyes and benefits of such a govern
ment should be reminded of it until
it becomes thoroughly fixed in their
minds. The boys who ssWent across
we're willing to back the sentiment
with their lives. Platteville News.

WHEN PA AND MA GET SICK.

When pa is sick
He's scared to death,
An ma an US
Just hold our breath.
He crawls in bed,
An puffs and grunts,
An does all kinds
OF crazy stunts.
He wants the doctor,
An mighty quick;
For when pas ill,
He's awful sick.
He gasps and grOans
An'sort of signs,
He talks so queer,
An rolls his eyes.
Ma jumps an runs,
An all of us,
An all the house,
Is in a muss;
An peace an joy
Is mighty skeerce-
When pa is sick
It's something fierce.
When ma is sick
She pegs away;
She's quiet, though,
Not much to say.
She goes right on
A-doin' things,
An sometimes laughs,
'Er even sings.
She says she don't
Feel extra we'll,
But then it's just
A kind of spell;
She'll be all right
Tomorrow, sure;
A good old sleep
Will be the cure.
An pa, he shifts
An makes no kick,
For women folks
Is always sick.
An ma, she smiles,
Lets on she's glad
When ma is sick.
It amt SO bad.

And what a strange collection that company made! Everybody had money. It was no use coming to Mrs. Bayneton's unless you had, for once she had you in her power, once she knew you were a thorough slave to her drug, the price went up and up. In fact, within a very short time I was spending s25 a week on the cursed stuff, and others spent much more. And so 1t went on until perhaps the victim had no money left, and then there was no room at Mrs. Baynetons for him or her.
 well remember one terrible scene there. A woman, a beautiful creature she was, but the most confirmed CO., caine flend of all, had evidently fallen on bad times somehow or other. She was always beautifully dressed, and apparently Lad plenty of money, but s,radually. she became shabbier and shabbier. First of all her good clothes went, then her jewelry dis appeared, and at length she got into the habit of borrowing from any who would lend to her.
 But after a while none of us would lend her any more. It was a five pound note here, a sovereign there, and so on, and then she came down to begging for doses Of cocaine.
 The Terrible Craving.
 Cocaine fiends are delightful peo- rle when they are well under the in fiuence of the drug. Then everybody seems a friend and the whole worlds q jolly place. Money will readily be lent, prized possessions given away; ir fact any favor asked will be grant ed. But when that delightful feel ing of collaboration has passed away. when the blackness comes down upor soul and body. then beware of the cocaine iend.
 Another woman, an actress, whose name would be very we'll known If I mentioned it, was Just about to take her dose when the first woman went up to hercand stretched out pleading hands to her, and quite by accident she upset the actress dose.
 There was a scuffle, the sound of slap, and the actress sent the other woman reeling back with a finger marked face. Nerve-racked, anxi- GUS for the drug that comforted her she had perhaps gone little 100 long without it-in that terrible tension the upsetting of her glass was too much for her temper, and the assault on the other woman was the re- salt.
 We didn't take much notice of it ourselves, but Mrs. Bayneton, who was in the room, went up to the as- saulted woman and asked her to leave and told her that she must not come back there again.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-06-13

All her money had gone, that was evident, and there was no room for l her there any longer.
 The woman begged and pleaded to | be allowed to stay. Surely there was someone who would give her CO., caine? Surely someone would help her? When the Money Has Conc. One woman, well under the infu- ence of the drug, was charitable and kind, and promptly offered to | give her some, but sIrs. Bayneton in terfered. Once that sort of thing started there was no knowing where It would stop, was her argument. The woman must go. She couldn't be allowed to be a nuisance to others Mrs. Crynder-that wasn't the poor
 woman's real name-wrung her hands, began to cry, not the tears of
 grief and sorrow or even of anger, but horrible bestiaI tears. Whining. crawling like horrid animal, sIop- bering at the mouth. moaning inartic- ulately, she acta1ly knelt and clung to Mrs. Bayneton's knees, begging to be allowed to stay. It must have been a horrible sight to see a woman so degrading herself, but none of us seemed to mind We would have 1ioApCu her W1lnnSIy, SlaQly, put 1T Mrs. Bayneton didn't wish 1t, we'll there was the end of the matter. Then Mrs. Bayneton touched the bell and in came two men-servants powerful men they were, who picked
 up Mrs. Crynder without the slightest respect for her sex and carried her out Of the room, one of them putting his great hand over her mouth to stop the noises she was making which were now developing into screams and yells. These, however | ceased remarkably quick as soon as she got outside the door,
 I learnt afterwards that Mrs Bayneton had given her a dose to soothe and get her away quietly When next she called Mrs. Cynder was not admitted.
 And 8 week afterwards I read an account of her death in the paper | She had flung herself in front of a notorious and been killed instantly It was stated that she was the wife | of a prominent British official in a government office, from whom she | had been separated on account of her | complete enslavement by drugs There were some more remarks at | the inquest about cocaine, to which 1t | was proved this woman had been a | slave, and the coroner expressed the | hope that something could be ,Ione l to stop the spread of this terribl le | habit as he called it, "of cocaine | taking

by the elections and (suggested) that this could not be the intention, there escaped from him the following words: "On the contrary, it is my intention. There must be such com plete confusion and such a hulla- baloo in the country that nobody knows what the Emperor is driving at with his policy" As I thereupon stated that that was not at all my intention, but that my policy must be open and as clear as daylight to my subjects, he declared that he had nothing more to say, and roughly flung his resignation at my feet. I did not react to this third scene in the course of six weeks, and passed over to the Council of Ministers and to the order by which he had prevented the direct reports. He declared that he did not trust "his'' minister's; they were, behind his back, bringing the things which ''he" could not approve, and therefore he had had to teach them a lesson. When I then pointed out to him that therein lay a grave insult to me, his so faithful and warmly affectionate sovereign, whom he accused of secret intrigues behind his back, he would not admit 1t. He would, however, if demanded 1t at
 
 the order, so that it might be can celled; after all, 1t mattered nothing When I once more-solely with the object of taking from the obviously seriously i'll and nervously strained man portion of his work and cares begged him to let me share more in the business, and to initiate me and let me listen when important de- cisions were taken he refused de- cisively, with the remark that he must have his resolutions, already | firmly fixed before he came to me. In deep pain andswith a sore heart now saw clearly that the demon of the love of power (Herrschsucht) had seized his sublime great man, and that he based every matter, whatever its nature might be, for his struggle against the Emperor. From that moment it was clear to me that we must part if everything was not to be morally ruined and perish. God Is my witness how many nights wrestled in prayer, and entreated that the heart of this man might be soft ened, and that I might be spared tbe terrible end of letting him leave me. | But 1t was not to be. As two days later the order had not been sent in ] by the Prince to be cancelled. had | him asked if he would not send 1t.
 He replied that he would never think | of doing so; he needed 1t against
 "his" ministers. There my patience
 gave way. my cid Hohenzollern fam | fly pride rose up. It wcs now neces- | sary to force the oid<pig head (Trotx-
 kopf) to obedience or to bring out a
 separatien: for now the question was
 whether the Emperor or the Chan | cei1er was to remain on top. I had
 him once more asked te send in the l revocation of the order and to &C.,
 commodate himself to my wishes and
 requests previously expressed to him
 Which he fatly refused. With that
 the drama was at an end; the rest if i known to yeu.

down upon myself the anger of my hatred of my mother-he had no thought whatever for all that, and stepped over me because I would not do his will. What a dagger-stabs my heart! His boundless contempt for human nature, which he had no thought whatever for all even for those who worked themselves to
 death for him; played him a nasty trick when he also regarded his mas ter as nothing and wanted to humili- ate him to the position of his hench- man. When he took his leave and accused me of having driven him

BISMARCk'S DISMISSAL


Everything had to be submitted to him, and what he didn't want he sim ply rejected and prevented from be- ing brought to me. There arose in two circles of oficialdom a general discomfort, which even spread to Par liamentary circles. Moreover, I re- ceived through my body physician news of the great anxiety of his doc tor that the Prince was in such a state that he was approaching com pIete collapse, which would end with nerve fever and a stroke. All my at ;empts in any way to procure the Prince relief by greater participation in affairs he interpreted as attempts to trace him out. Gentlemen and councillors whom I sent for fell for that reason into disgrace with him, and came under the suspicion of fn- triguing against him. Finally 1t came to a crash, the accumulated electricity was discharged on my guilty head" The Prince, fired by the love of conflict, and guided by the motives adduced above, prepared on the quiet, and to the dismay of all the initiated, and in spite of my op- posing orders, a campaigfn against the new Reichstag. All were to be irritated and whipped. First, the
 
 Socialists annoyed, till the whole Reichstag went up into the air, and H. M was compelled, nolens volens to shout. Add to that the interview with Windhorst, arranged by tho Jew, Bleichroder, which liberated n storm of indignation in the Father land, and which was semi officially surrounded with a mystery that per- mitted all possible conclusions. More over, the attempt was made to raise the appearance that had known about it and approved 1t, whereas \ learnt the fact only three days later through the newspapers and eager inquiries which I received from aI sides.
 Storm Breaks Loose.
 When, three days after this affair. which was continually spreading and began to have a very unpleasant as- pect for the Prince. I had a meeting with him, he brought the talk rounG to Windhorst's visit and represented it as if he had. as it were, unexpect- edly appeared in his ante-room and surprised him. I had learnt defi- nitely. however, that Bieichroder had arranged this interview for him. with his consent. hen I told tho Prince this, and begged that he
 
 matters by some kind of a billet or oral communication by a secretary the storm broke loose, Without any regard for courtesy or consideration he told me he would allow himself to be kept by me in leading strings; that he forbade this once and for all; that I had no idea of Parliamentary life! that in such things 1t was not my business te give him any kind of orders; and so on and so on. When | he had at last worked off his rage, I | tried to make 1t clear to him that here there was no question of orders, but that what I wanted was not to learn afterwards through the press | of such important steps.that in the end might have as a consequence for me binding decisions from which l could not esoape-hut to hear it from his, so that I could make my verse accordingly. But 1t was no good. When described to him what conn motion ahd cpnfusien this .visit had ,aussd among the peo1ies sti1i sxcftsd
