You will be able to tell us the real truth about theKaiser's illness. "] * * * * * A DUEL OF ENDURANCE. Our butcher's name is Bones. Yes, I know it sounds too good to be true. But I can't help it. Once more, his name is Bones. There is something wrong with Bones. Mark him as he stands there amongall those bodies of sheep and oxen, feeling with his thumb the edge ofthat long sharp knife and gazing wistfully across the way to where thegreengrocer's baby lies asleep in its perambulator on the pave...ment. Observe him start with a sigh from his reverie as you enter his shop. What is the matter with him? Why should a butcher sigh? I will tell you. He has been thinking about the Kaiser, the Kaiser whois breaking his heart through the medium of the greengrocer's baby. As all the world knows, between the ages of one and two the best Britishbabies are built up on beef tea and mutton broth; at two or thereaboutsthey start on small chops. No one can say when the custom arose. Like somany of those unwritten laws on which the greatness of England is reallybased it has outgrown the memory of its origin.
