Some Rules For Success
George Re) nolds, a well known
Chicago banker, says in the
August American Magazine:
"To sum up. therefore, these
are the essential rule?, as I see
t'.:em:
"Cii ose your life wor tarij .
"Make your own ru!e3o; ten-
'duct early.
"Choose your friends careful'y
Do more than the routine
work of your job.
"Decide quickly in alfmattr.s
a-id net promptly.
"If right, iguore criticism; if
wrong, change without delay.
"Practice economy. Be neith
er extravagant nor niggardly. '
"Avoid depending upen your
friends. Give as much as you
receive from them.
"Practice diplomacy it smooths
the rough spots and gives you
the advantage on the next move.
Cultivate cheerfulness, to
enable you to carry the neces
sary and throw off the unnec
essary burdens.
"Indulge in sufficiert p'ay
and recreation to keep the body
strong and the mind vigorous.
"Be square with yourself as
with these with whem you are

OVER THE 'PHONE
BY O. T. PERKINS.
The Kaiser called the Devil up
On the telephone one dy.
The girl at Central listened to
Ail they had to suy.
"Hollo," sho heard'the Kniser's voice
"Is old mur Satan home?
Just tell him this is Kuiser Bill
That wants him on the phono,"
The Dovil said "Hello" to Bill,
And Bill said "How are you?
I'm runnirg here a hell on earth,
So tell tne what to do."
"What cm I do?" the Devil sni I,
' My dear old K.iiser Bill?
If there's n thing that I can do
To help you, I sure will."
The Kaiser said, "Now listen,
And I will try to tell
The way that I am runnirg
On eartn a modern hell.
"I've saved for this for many years,
I've started out to kill,
That it will be a inoJern job
You leave to Kainor Bill.
' My army went through Belgium,
Shooting women and children down.
We tore up all her country,
And blew up all her ton s.
"My Zepps dropped bombs on citiei,
Killing both old and young,
And those the Zeppellins didn't get.
Were taken out and hong.
"1 started out for Writ,
With the aid cf puioiinus ga,
The Be'gionis darn 'em, stopped us,
And would not let us pais.
"My submarines are devils.
Why, jou should tee them rigM.
They go sneaking through the sea,
And sink a ship at sight.
"I was runnirg things to suit me,
Till a year or so ago,
A hen a man calied Wwdrow Wi'soh,
Wrote me to go mure slow.
"He said to me, 'Dear William,
We don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U-boits
To sink our ship; no m ire.
" 'We have told you for the last time,
So Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it,
You have got to fight u. too.'
"I did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me,
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their home across the sea.
"Now, that's why I called you, Satan
For I want advice from you,
I knew that you would tell ine
Just what I ought to d."
"Mydearold Kier William,
There's not much fur me to tell,
for the Yanks will make it hotter
Than 1 can for you in hell.
"I've been a mean old Devil.
But not half as mean as you.
And the minute I get you here,
I will give my j ib to you.
"I'll be ready for your coming,
And I'll keep the tires all bright,
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
"For the boys in blue will get you,
I have nothing more to tell;
II iing up the phone and get your hat,
And meet me here In hell."
