GREETINGS FROM AN OLD FRIEND.
OFFICIAL PAPER. OF APACHE COUNTY
May 17, 1917.
The Kaiser's Prayer: or the Lat
est Ultimatum.
(From the Gallup Independent.)
Oh! Lord! Dear Gott! Attention,
please, your partner Wilhelm s
here,
And has a word or two to say in
to your ear:
So send away all others now, and
listen well to me,
For what I say concerns me much
Mineself and Chermany!
You know, dear Gott, 1 was your
friend, and since mine hour of
birth
I always let you rule in Heaven
while I rules o'er the earth.
And when 1 told my soldiers of
bygone battle days
I always split the glory and gave
you half the praise.
In every way I tried to prove my
heart to you was true,
And only took my honest share
in great deeds what you do.
You could not have a better friend
in sky, by land or sea.
lhan Kaiser Wilhelm Number
Two the Lord of Chermany.
Now what I say, dear Gott, is this
that we shall still be friends
And yu should help me send mine
foes to meet their bitter ends.
If you. dear Gott will, this me
do, I'll never ask again,
And you and I will partners be
for ever more, Amen !
But listen, Gott, it must be quick,
your help to me to send,
For otherwise I'll haye to quit
attack and play defend
So four-and-twenty hours I give
to make the Allies run,
TJnd put me right into my place
the middle of the Sun .
If you do this I'll do my part, and
tell the world the fact,
But if you don't, then I must
think it is an hostile act.
Then war at once I will declare
und in mine anger rise,
And send mine Zepplin ships to
wage a war up m the skies.
This Ultimatum now, dear Gott,
is one of many more,
My mind is made up chust to wipe
the whole world off the floor.
Pecause you was my partner once
an extra chance is given
So help at once or I will "be The
Emperor of. Heaven
In truth I'm glad to see you all
To greet you shore to greet you tall;
Your old time friend return'd once more
Though once cast hated from your door.
My name? I trow there millions born
Who cheer me as John Barleycorn,
Some scorn as the Demon Rum,
As good old Scotch I'm known by some.
Yet scorned or loved you all I greet ,
And being here 'tis only meet '
I tell to you my secrets dear
To make to all my presence clear.
One nice bright day twixt four and five J V;
While Magdaleen was full alive,
My weariness of cellars dark
Caused me to seek some little lark.
Scarce knowing where I wished to fly ' '
I clambered in a bag close by
And crouched there trembling, sore at heart,
Till taken to a Ford Go-Cart. ,
The night grew dark so on we sped, -;
The sheriff slept, so safe we fled, . a
Till drawing near the rise of sun, ' ?
We halted here, our journey done.
To you dear Friends who know me well -v . v
My fiery fouI I'll gladly sell. ? ' :
Mourn not I pray the price I ask; ' : v;
To scrape the law is quite some task.
Besides I ween you'll get from me
Wild visions still quite new to thee.
Cold rattle snakes and lizards green
No more to claim your boots will seem, x
To-day the. sky alone can hold
The Phantoms of my spirits bold.
Red aeroplanes and Zeppelins flare ,
As roaring visions through the air.
Gus Herman.

Proper Food For Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another.
Every one should adopt a diet
suited to his age and occupation.
Those who have weak stomachs
need to be especially careful and
should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. It is also
important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they be
come constipated oi when they
feel dull and stupid after eating,
they should take Chamberlain's
Tablets to strengthen the stomach
and move the bowels. They are
easy to take and pleasant in ef

She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For
Her Recovery.
.Royse City, . Tex. Mrs. Mary KI1-
man, of this place, says; "After the
birth of my little girl. . .my side com
menced to hurt' me. I had to go back
to bed. "We Vcalled- the doctor. He
treated me. .'IbutM got no better. I
got. -worse and worse until the misery
was" unbearable...! -was in bed for
three i&onths. and suffered such agony
that I -was just drawn up In a knot. ..
I told my husband if he would get
me a bottle of Cardui I would try it. . .
I commenced taking It, however, that
evening I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
many days unless I had a change for
the better. That was six years ago
and I am still here and am a well,
.strong woman, and I owe my life to
Cardui. I had only taken half the
bottle when I began to feel' better.
The misery in my side got less... I
continued right on taking the Cardui
until I had taken thiee bottles and I
did not need any more for I, was well
and never feltbetter in my. life. . . I
have never had any trouble from that
day to this."
Do you suffer from headache, back
ache, pains in sides, or o'ter discom

weak, nervous and fagged-out? If so,
give Cardui, the woman's tonic, a
