How the War Started.
A Pierson school boy, ufter
carefully reading up the cause of
the present strife in Europe gives
his version of it as follows:
“Hi the first place a Servian
got drunk ami killed an Austrian
nobleman and his escort (or may-
be it was his consort) anyway it
was some sort. Austria then got
hot under the collar over the in-
cident ami then said to Serna:
“See here now; we don’t want
any ruff stuff; I want to he a
father to you ; come into the wood-
shed .
Russia peeping through the fence

to touch that child; lie’s my kid
anyhow, You’d make a good look-
ing daddy.”
“You’ve another think coming.”
answered Austria. “1 don’t like
the color of your eyes and your
feet don’t track; besides 1 can
lick you with one hand tied."

anybody; I can lick everybody,
and we’ll take him together.”
So Germany slips up on France
when she ain’t looking and lands
with both feet in the middle of
Belgium.
“Get off my leg,” says Belgium
or I’ll bite your eur off.”
“Ouch!” says Germany, “I’ll
get oil' when I get ready.”
“That’s not fair.'1 says France.
“Take thut you slob,” and
hands Germany a hot one on the
suooi.
“I hate a scrap,’’says England,
but I can smash the jaw of the
guy who slaps n..v friend.”
"You don’t hate it any wor e
than 1 do,” says Japan sis she

“Well 1 guess you started ii

The editor was busy when he
was asked; “How are the mark

the office devil, who looked wise
and said: “Yong men unsteady;
