W.H.O.


GOOD OLD GOTHIC.

[An agitation for the total disuse of the Latin character, we learn from Press quotations published in The Daily Chronicle, is raging through the German Empire, and the Prussian Minister of the Interior has forbidden the use of any other character than German Gothic in the publications of the Statistical Bureau.]

The ways of the Hun comprehension elude,

They're so cleverly crass, so painstakingly crude;

For, in spite of his cunning and forethought immense,

He is often incurably stupid and dense

To the point of allowing his patriot zeal

To put a large spoke in his own driving-wheel.
