FAITHFUL OF ZION
CITY ARE SHOCKED
VOLIVA'S WARNING SIGNS ARE
BURNED DOWN.
Early Morning Blaze Causes General
Disregard of Overseer's Decree
Against Scanty Attire.
BORE LETTERS A FOOT HIGH

Chicago.-Doom cracked in Zion. 1t
cracked with such vigor that the faith
full sprang from their beds and hast
ened out to discover six fires blazing
at once. Certain vitrolic signs Voliva,
general overseer of the holy city, had
caused 10 be erected in front Of rival
churches had taken fire by some
agency and were blazing merrily.
What next?" whispered the trem-
bling faithful. VOliva, the fighting
leader of the hosts, had tossed his
gauntlet into the ring and the faith
less and the scoffers had soaked it in
coal oil and touched a match to it.
Several weeks ago Voliya began a
scorching campaign against anti-Zion-
list churches in Zion. There are in
dependents living in the holy city,
property owners, who do not bend
the knee to Voliva, and there sprang
up meetings Of the Holy Roller society
in a hall. Grace Missionary society
also opened a small house Of worship.
Voliva erected large b~illboards in
front and around these places. Wheth-
er Iswas due to his burning words or
a kerosene torch, the isx great bill
boards took fire at dawn.
1T is the end Of the world" blub-
bered one hysterical oma
1T is not warned a long w~hiskered
member Of the faithful. 1.-THE world is
flat, Voliva has said. If this be the
end OF the world, why can we not see
over the edge? Peace be with thee,
foolish woman"
At any rate, the fire caused general
disregard Of one of VoliVa's sternest
DEGREES. His people come forth show
Ing ankles, knees, scraggly backbones,
scrawny necks, and some Of the wo-
mems arms were actually bare to the
elbow because Of their sudden flight
from their homes without regard for
attire. The fire and its consequences
are expected to bring from Voliva an
eruption of words that will fairly make
the north side rock and scare the
lake clear back to the five-mile crib.

with pride, and we have. We've growr

They say it's not nice for Tonsils
to grow so proud because they've moth
ing TO be proud of-but gracious me,
that is just the point.
Things that have no reason to be
pulled up and proud are usually the
kind that are most conceited.
and those creatures who are mod
est and not conceited are usually the
one who can do things. You'll almost
always find it is that way"
That's the way it usually is" said
Ton. well, we mustn't talk any more.
We must get bigger and bigger and
Just let Lucy know we're making our
selves quite at home in her throat.
"In fact, she needn't think she has
any rights to her own throat. We're
the one with rights"
and don't forget us" said the little
Adenoid cousins. Don't forget u.s."
1--WE won't" said the TonSil Twins.
1--WE won't forget you"
Along then came Susy Sore Throat
and Ronald Raw Throat, and Carrie
Cold came, too, and so did Clarence
Cough. Oh, they all came and had a
party in Lucy's throat.
Well, they liked the party SO much
that they came again and again. Some
times they had little parties and some
times big parties.
One day, however, Lucy decided to
let her TonSilS know that they could
not make their home any longer in
her throat.
SO she went to the big doctor who
had promised to take them out and
who had told her that they would get
rid of those wretched little Twins.
1t wasn't pleasant to think Of getting
rid of the Twins. They wouldn't come
out by a mere kind word. No, they
had TO be cut out. Harsh ways had to
be used with them. But Lucy was
brave-and she knew that once she got
rid of those wretches her throat would
never again be the place for the Ton.
sill parties.
So the big doctor took the Tonsii
Twins III and their Adenoid cousins
along with them, and the TOnsils wept
red tears as they left Lucy, but they
said, each to the other:
