One day a skunk eneaked- into camp and entered a small building. The American bet the Englishman 81 that he could not remain in the building ten minutes with the skunk. The bet was taken and the Englishman went in.. In eix minutes he came out, The American was -challenged to enter on the same terms. He went in and came out in five minutes. The German prisoner, who had witnessed the defeat of the Englishman and the Amalican, offered to bet at he could remain inside with the • skunks, for . ten minutes. His bet was taken and he disappeared within. In exactly one min- ute the skunk cattle out A Co -incidence The following has been handed in to us and is surely a co -incidence. "The war came to an end on the llth day of the llth month at the llth hour. Some one thought to look up the Ilth verse in the llth •chapter of the Ilth book of the Bible that is the ist Kings, lith chapter and 11th verse. It reads "Whersfore the 1..ord said unto Solomon for as this is dune of thee and thou hast not kept my coVen- ant and my statutes which I have com- manded thee I will surely rend the King- dom from thee and 'give it to thy ser- vant." This is true the Kaiser has lost his kingdom- and Ebert, his harness maker, an especial servant, rules in his place and as he broods with faces of starving women before his eyes, with visions of murdered millions, the cries of children in his eats, his world dream shattered and his king- dorn gotie, with the shadow of his own doom hanging over him he may well see the prophecy has been well fulfilled."
