tmoiferH. Satarn Abdicates
Hell
When Louis Syberkop of Cres-
ton, Iowa, wrote the satire to
Kaiser Wilhelm which follows,
he little thought it would attract
the attention which it has. Re-
quests for copies have come to
him from Theodore Roosevelt,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
Secretary to the President Tu-
multy and other notables. The
article is in the form of a letter
from his Satanic majesty to his
human prototype. It says:
To Wilhelm Von Hoheneollern,
King of Prussia, Emperor of all
Germany and Envoy Extraordi-
nary of Almighty God.
My Dear Wilheirn;—I can call
you by that familiar nam« for I
have always been very cluse to
you, much closer than you could
ever know. From the time that
you were yet an undeveloped be-
ing in your mother's womb have
I shaped your destiny for my
purpose.
Bn the days of Rome I created
a roughneck known in history as
Nero. He was a vulgar charac-
ter and suited my purpose at'
that particular time. In these
modern days a classic demon and
efficient super-criminal was need-
ed and as I know the hohenzol-
lern blood I picked you as my
special instrument to places on
earth an annex of hell. I gave
you abnormal ambition, likewise
an over-supply of egotism th.it
you might not discover your own
failings; I twisted your mind to
that of a madman with certain
normal tendencies to carry you
by—a most dangerous character
placed in power; I gave you the
power of a hypnotist and a cer-
tain magnetic force that you
might sway your people. I am
responsible •for/./tl|»

a hypocrite and a bluffer of the
highest magnitude. You are a
part of mine and yet you pose as
a personal friend of God. Ah,
Wilhelm, you are a wonder! Yon
wantonly destroy all tilings its
your path and leave nothing for
coming generations. I was amaz-
ed when I saw you form a part-
nership with the impossible Turk,
the chronic killer of Christians.

Mrs. Cairnes in her usual oplen-

"China" and so well vvere the
papers, talks and special music

During the social hour dainty re-
freshments of coffee, whipped
cream and cake were served with
Mrs. Murphy presiding at the
silver coffee pot in her pleasing
manner. The many friends-of
Mrs. Elder will remember with
pleasure the hours spent in her
hosnityble home.
Many new plans are bejng laid
