I hav<» a dear old "Uncle.'*
And, my, but he Is rich!
He owns the whole United States;
Also, a great, big ditch.
0( insular possessions,
He owns, say, three or four,
And frankly, I'm not certain,
I' may b« less or more.
He's very tall and skinny;
His feet are large and flat;
You'll know him by his whiskers
And the Stars upon his hat.
He has a monstrous family.
Of oolygiot ish folk
V*'ho pester him for money,
So. half the time, he's bioke.
He cant' refuse them favors;
He's good as he can be
All foreign nations love him.
Excepting Germany.
Snould "Uncle" need the money
Or gv> plum' busted,—flat
His "Boys" would' raise TEX billion
For him, as quick as "scat."
There is LOYALTY between them,
A sacrd bond Of trust
That the kaiser or his "kultur'
Can never, NEVER bust. —Peter.

YANKEES PUNISH '
"HUN" TREACHERY
| London, Sept. 18.—The Germans
jare finding out that it doesn't pay
to be savages when they're fight
ing Americans.
Because they're finding out that
if they insist on being barbarianB,
tbe Americans will treat them as
narbariana.
The fame of "The American
Way"—as this unannounced but
very much in force policy is called
[—is spreading.
English, French and Italian news
papers are talking about it, and
you hear it discussed everywhere.
To put what these papers call the
"American way" in a Yankee's own
lingo, it means "the Germans can't
get away with that Hun stuff with
us!"
Here are two instances of how
"The American Way" works:
A German machine gun nest was
hidden in a ruined church at Ser
gy, in the Marn© battle, and the
Rpd Cross flag flew from the
steeole. The Americans respected
the flag. Tfiey advanced' in the
open until they got up close. Then
tLe Huns' machine gun mowed
them down. The Germans (flere's
where the "American Way" comes
in) paid for that trick so dearly
that it hasn't been tried since.
IN ear sergy Aiuoiiv«ug »»wiw
advancing on a nest of machine
guus whica kept peppering away
until the Americana got within
about 200 yards. Then the Ger
mans made surrender Bigns and
the American coolly cam0 on, to
take their prisoners. Close up the
ueacheroua Germane opened fire.
They said. . , ■ j
This does not mean that th# A
raericans are not clean fighters. But
they aren't "soft." The Germans
can't use treachery and savagery
aud enjoy immunity. They pay
for every trick.
Remarking on how cleanly the A*
inerican fights, the »London Eve"
fling Standard adds:' "But he Is *
dangerous person to play 'monkey
tricks' with, and when ha gets
'real peeved' the other party ia in
for an uncomfortable time. The
Americans have fought savages he
fore." | ■ | | ,
English, French nad Italian pa
pers all appear to like "The A
meri<an way." France meets de
liberate infringements of the rules
of war in much the same spirit.
But the British papers say the
British soldiers do not, and they
want "The American Way" adopt
ed without delay.

Meeting Sister
Ox*
Br CATHERINE PARSONS
(Copyngtot, 1818, by the McClure Newipl
per Syndicate.)
"You're a hopeless woman hater
Kenny," groaned Lieutenant Campbell
"But If you refuse to meet my attrac
tlve sister-in-law, nt least, you wlli
consent to meet my attractive wife
she's quite harmless as far as you ar<
concerned and well worth knowing."
Kenny grinned.
"You bet, I'll meet your wife, Fred—
the sooner the better! It's only a loi
of silly girls I can't stand."
"Well, she's here now. She's taken
u little apartment about a aille from
camp—10 Main street. We'll expect
you to afternoon tea tomorrow—thai
will be before her sister gets there, sc
you won't have to worry. Is that
0. K.?"
« sure is. so long, now—ive goi
to get back to ray Job."
The next afternoon was cold and
clear, and Kenny walked briskly along
and thought rather pleasantly of the
hot tea he would soon have offered to,
him. And he was really anxious to
meet Fred's wife, too. They had known
each other since they were boys and
his friend had married only a month
or two before—just after he left train
ing camp. The girl he Imagined Fred
would pick out would be tall and
stately and dignified and very good
looking—he could see her perfectly In
his mind's eye.
But he hud quite a shock when his
ring was answered and he was ush
ered into the tiny living room to Mrs.
Campbell's apartment. To be sure, his
hostess was there—very much so—but
she was small, very pretty and ridicu
lously young looking—Fred should
have prepared him a little for this.
"We're glad you could come. Lieu
tenant Kenny. Fred took my sister
out for a few moments, but they will
be back directly. Do sit down and tell
me something about the cainp—I'm
dying to hear all about it."
"Sister!" thought Tom Kenny,
groaning inwardly. "Then she did come
after all. Curse my rotten luck!"
Aloud he said:
"I've just been thinking It's so won
derful out—perhaps you would like to
see something of the place yourself—
we could take a little walk out In the
direction of camp if you want to aud
you think Fred won't mind."
His one idea was to get outside be
fore sister returned—he hoped she
never would return!
"Mercy, no—Fred won't mind! He'll
be only too glad to get me off his
hands for a while."
Having made up his mind to make
the best of things, Tom found his little
companion decidedly good company.
She laughed at his jokes and made
herself so agreeable that he found him
self feeling almost disappointed when
they finally turned towurds home. But
the whole afternoon she never men
tioned her husband once. When they
first started out Tom had turned to
her questioningly:
"You ere quite sure your husband
won't care if you do go off like this?
"My husband!" echoed the girl,
blankly. Then light dawned in a mo
ment and she turned her head away
to hide the twinkle that shone in her
eyes.
"Ile'd trust me with you, I know,"
she returned, smiling. "I'm just going
to have a good time and forget all
about him."
When they got back to airs, uarap-1
bell's apartment it was so late that I
Tom begged to be excused, as he had |
to be back at camp In time for mess.
Fred's wife did not urge him to come
in, but asked him to come to tea two
days later to meet her sister. He tried
to refuse, on some sort of pretense,
but he found it too hard to refuse any
thing this girl asked him, when she
really wanted to have her own Way.
So he promised and went back to
camp, thinking that Fred was a pretty
fortunate man to have such a wonder
ful little wife, and wishing there were
more women in the world like her!
On Friday afternoon he found both
the ladies home, and he went through
the pninful ordeal of meeting sister.
She was far more stately than Fred's
wife, and possibly very charming, but
Tom hardly noticed her at all.
"I was eo sorry about the other af
ternoon," apologized Miss Ely. "Fred
told me It would only take a minute,
and then I found so many things I had
to attend to that before I knew it It
was terribly late. I was so sorry not
to meet you."
"Mrs. Campbell was very kind, and
entertained me royally," assured
Kenny,
"I'll bet she did," agreed Fred Camp
bell, and a gleam of amusement passed
between him and his now very demure
little wife who was seated at the other
end of the room.
"We had a beautiful time Freddie,
dear," she cried enthusiastically. "And
I've been thinking we ought to get up
some nice little parties while sister Is,
here—just the four of us. I do so love
to chaperone."
Fred laughed. "Anything you sug
gest will be all right, my dear."
"Then let's go skating Sunday after
noon—it's heavenly on the lake. Will
yon go, Lieutenant Tom?"
"If Fred's willing. Are you fond of
skating?" he asked the silent Bister,
who had not entered Into the conver
sation for some time.
"I adore It!" she assured him. "I
haven't been on skates for two years,
but I'll probably get along with a
lfttl« helfc. toU \von't mind givititf toe
a few points till I get used to It, will
you?"
"No, Indeed 1" he assented, almost
too promptly, and he thought he no
ticed Fred cough slightly to cover a
laugh. He began to wonder how he
could get sick on Sunday, but his
thoughts were dashed .to pieces. He
knew that unless be poisoned himself
he could never deceive Fred.
"Oh, It will be such fun 1" exclaimed
Mrs. Campbell, and she smiled at him
happily.
They had a very pleasant hour, but
Tom had little conversation with
Fred's sister-in-law. By mutual con
sent Fred seemed content that he
should talk to his wife, while he him
self entertained the stately sister. Tom
understood that Fred wanted him to
know bis wife better, so that he might
be more interested in women in gen
eral, and that he would approve of
his friend's choice. So he listened to
the charming little lady and he became
her abject slave for evermore. And
he also thought that BYed had done
better than he deserved—he couldn't
possibly appreciate such a marvelous
girl. And he told him so on the way
home. Fred laughed heartily.
"You're wrong, Tom," he contradict
ed him. "I assure you that I think
my wife is the most wonderful girl In
the world, and I adore the ground she
walks on. But I thought you would
be more Interested In my sister-in
law. I really think you are, too—but
you don't know it 1"
"You're crazy, Fred. She may be
wonderful, but girls don't Interest me
at all—I'm through with all that sort
of thing forever 1"
But Fred only laughed again and
told him he'd be married himself In
six months, and Tom walked off in
dignantly.
The next arteraoon Tom Kenny naa
a note from Mrs. Campbell.
"Dear Lieutenant Kenny:—I'm sor
ry, but I shan't be able to go skating
with you all tomorrow. I've strained
my ankle slightly, and would not dare
to try to skate on It so soon.
"But the party will be Just the
same, for my sister Is anxious to go.
Will you come for her at the same
time, and we shall expect you to come
back to supper with us. Too bad Fred
doesn't care much about skating.
"Cordially yours,
"ELEANOR CAMPBELL."
Tom shuddered. The worst had hap
pened. He would have to get Miss Ely
and pull her nround the Ice alone, and
Fred would stay home and laugh at
him. It was too muchl
But he could not find a way out, so
he avoided Fred and appeared at Mrs.
Campbell's at the appointed hour. To
his surprise he found her alone In the
room, evidently dressed for going out.
"You're better?" he asked. "I was
sorry to hear you were sick."
"I wasn't," she denied, "It was my
sister."
"But you wrote me—"
"No, I didn't write you—that was
my sister, too!"
"I don't understand at all—so many
sisters and things that I'm all mixed
up. Whose sister are you, anyway?"
"Fred's and Eleanor's—I Thought
you knew In the first place, but you
didn't. And then you began to think I
was my sister, and It was all so funny
that I Just let you. Eleanor thought
It was a good joke, and they helped me
pretend the other afternoon when you
were here. Oh, I hope you won't mind
because I'm not Fred's wife—I'm so
sorry If you're disappointed in me 1" I
Tom could hardly believe his ears, I
and In his excitement he took the
girl's hand In his.
"Disappointed!" he cried. "Why, I
never was so pleased about anything
In my life. I'm so glad you are only
Fred's sister that I can't think! The
only thing I wouldn't like would be to
have you promise to be a sister to me,
too. Please don't do that, will you?"
Dorothy Ely blushed and laughed as
she got to her feet and walked toward
the door.
"You'll have to Invite me to be one
first—and besides, I have two brothers
of my own. Shall we go skating now,
or do you want to wait till my sister
can come along and chaperone us?"
"No, I don't, but I'm ready to go
anywhere In the world you ask me to,
provided you are there, too. Do you
think you could be?"
Dorothy looked up at him and then
blushed again, and Lieutenant Camp
bell knew that his suit was won.

Garden for Invalid.
If you have an Invalid friend, you
can make her a garden that she will
enjoy for a very little money. Buy
a small gold fish bowl and have a
piece of glass to fit over the top. Then
go out into the woods and get a piece
of moss for the bottom and find a
small plant or a tiny fern and set it
out in the moss or plant a nasturtium
seed. The moisture from the plant
will keep it growing; there will be no
need to water it, and the Invalid can
have her little garden right near the
bed, can even take it in her hands and
watch it grow. It will be ft joyjgg
weeks. <1.. 'j..
