THE EX-KAISER—AN EXPLODED SHAM.

"Wilhelm 11. lived to see the fierce hatreds of the victors freeze Into contempt and ultimately vanish in indifference," writes Winston Churchill in an article on the ex-Kaiser. "He lived to see a great people,' whom he had conducted to frightful disaster, pass through the sternest tribulations of defeat.

"He passes out of history, no tragic figure of grandeur in adversity, or even of monarchy in dethronement, but only in the squalor of an exploded sham." HOW 18 YOUR HEART?

It needs rest, and there plenty of sleep is important. Exercise should be regulated to keep the pumping station in good order. In cases of heart disease, the. doctor's orders should be strictly obeyed. A calm, even attitude towards life should be adopted, and any overexertion avoided. Fresh air is vital, and a healthy average weight should be maintained by nourishing food and simple mode of living.

An angler, having had no luck, was chagrined to see a boy returning from fishing, loaded. "You've had a fine . haul," he exclaimed; "where did you catch them?" "Why," replied the youth, "go down that path marked 'Private,' then across yonder field where it says 'Beware of the bull,' keep on till you see a notice, 'Trespassers will be prosecuted,' turn to yonr left and you'll see a pond with the intimation, 'No fishing allowed' — well, that's it!"

Black: "You know you are really very remarkably clever. Often have I niarvelled at your tact, your brilliancy, your strategy, your aptness at repartee, your " White: "If it's more than five shillings, old man, I'm afraid T cannot oblige you."
