SUNBEAMS Feller citizens—I appear before you this August day (in a OT July) not to tell you what I know, but what I strongly suspect, viz: That if you or I had the' management of this universe, things would be different. I want to tell you today of a good German friend I once had (you no- tice I use the past tense). He is a good German yet (he went to the front and was killed). You see he ‘was a bell hop in a hotel and when some one said ‘front’ he was it. I want you to read the last letter from chim. Here it is: Ohio, Columbus, Oct. de twiced, ’16, Dear Old Fat-Head:— As I have nottings to do und vant it should pe did, I tout I would took my pen und pottle of ink in mein fist and typewrite you some _ letters. Please excuse dis lead pencil. I am all well at present except mein brud- der. He was kicked in de suburbans last nite py a mule. The mule is not expected to live. Your rich ~aunty who died from patipitation of de heart ven you wass here is still deat and doin’ nicely, She left you fifteen tousand dollars, so you are no more @ poor man, but a Dutchman. You are stil] an orphant. De only rela- tions you haf got lefting is an uncle who was kilt in-de last war. I am sending you py oxpress your over- coat. As de charges so mooch a pound I cut off de buttons. I hope dis will be satisfaction, You will find de buttons on de inside pocket. Yes, as dis is all what I have to say I will close my face and expect you to do de same. I saw your little boy today. He look youst like you, odderwise he is all right. Hoping dis will come to you before you get it and that you will answer before dot T will remain, Yours confectionary, = Otto Mobile: Shouldn't you get dis letter, Pics: phone me and py parcels post. Otto. A woman in Chicago accepted three months in jail rather than live with her mother-in-law. She said slie didn’t know what jail was like, but that she did know the old lady. Now, by golly; what if a man would talk like that. The other day I saw an article be- ginning like this: “If we would live like the cave man, etc.” Well, by golly, says I, “I could easily live like a cave man, but the cave man would have some stunt in his hands if he tried to live as I do, He shore would.” Kaiser Bill has an idea (only one) in his head, that Germany will be the victor in the present war and will rule the world and the only way to get that idea out of his head is to shoot it out. That’s what we are sending men to training camps and shipping them to France for, and some of the boys will get a bead on Bill’s sky piece some day and biff— the war will be over. A The devil is almost ready to ad- mit, that when it comes to hellishness he is miles behind Kaiser Bill and his imps and Old Nick has about de- cided to abdicate in favor of the Kaiser. Greece having entered the war I look for things to move along more smoothly. There’s noting like grease to make any kind of machinery run slick. Rah! for Greece or grease as the case may be. .. 1am of the opinion that temper is a good thing for any woman to have, eo good in fact, that she should keep it and under no circumstances lose i. Song of the aviators—Up in a balloon boys, up in a balloon, up among the little stars, sailing ‘round the moon. I notice in'a paper that dress goods are up 2-3rd’s. On the streets I sometimes notice they are up abont 34ths and I am not what you'd call a very observant person cither. It seema quite a lot of men got {Organization themselves married off to avoid goin’ tO war. But will they? Just try to imagine the sort of, bliss a: man -will enjoy with a woman. who knowe-hej® is afraid to fight. Compared to such’ a life I think the trenches would be a paradise. It is now within the law to parade the streets in your. bathing-costume, provided that your behavior is of the proper sort. This is a court ruling in ‘tan Eastern state. Well, by golly, says I, the bathing suit is more.to be desired (to say nothing of the be- havior): than ¢he average transpar- ency which we may see (if we look) most any day, or place, in some of’ our refined Western states. Too hot to write, IT.am going to take a vacation. If you need me or want me, notify The Times. If you cannot cross the ocean, if you cannot join a fleet of your Uncle’s fighting war ships, or feel a deck beneath your feet.. You may fill an humble station, bravely doing what you can, give your all to save the Nation, be a loyal Red Cross fan, You should all be up and doing. There’s a work for all to do. Do your duty, never falter, when your country calls for you. Thanking you for your kind atten- tion. Lore Se Fair Mount News. Brackney Items.
