Bartender Will Not Fall for Old Game "You may cover the penny with foil If you will, but the acent of the rent piece will cling to it still," quoth one of the city's most prominent bartenders, as he tossed back a suspicious looking coin to a ragged Individual who had tendered a nfcrkel and a cent covered with foil In an effort to "Wallingford" the Inebriate manufacturer out of a potion of the Demon Rum. With a nod of assent tha' ragged one amlled and rocketing 'he cent, exclaimed, "Anyway, I'm Innocent (In a cent)," for which pun the bartender set forth the family decanter, free gratis for nothing.

Toronto, Can. I regret that tha ton of your editors' comments in tha few places where thay are made conveys an impression distinctly disagreeable to one living under the British flag. Toronto, Can. I wonder that you and your organixation pretend to be anything else than patriotic Germans of the Fatherland who as yet have not even be come naturalised in the United Btatee, and that evidently being the caae I am surely wasting good ammunition in paper and ink which, as a matter of fact, were you in your proper place in the Ger man Army, should be good British lead and powder. Toronto, Can. It is to be hoped that you will advise your editors, who are undoubtedly pro-German ... to be more fair regarding the Allies. Moncton. N. B.

In a number of your articles your writings come out a little too strongly anti-German. Is this necessary I Oakland, Cal. Have liked your paper al ways, but since the war you seem partial to the English. Haneinbon, N. D. You give the English too much space in your paper, too much to be regarded aa impartial. Matttllx, Wis. You are not giving Germany a square deal in the hour of her trial. Akron, Ohio. Looking through The Di gest, I was am as ea, astounded, and shocked beyond descrip tion to see that your people had printed a caricature of Emperor Wilhelm II comparing Kaiser Wilhelm with that blood-thirsty, thiev ing usurper Napoleon. . . . Un less you can explain to my satisfaction this slur on aft fair-minded and impartial peo ple, yon may consider me a non subscriber, aa I shall do everything in my power against yon. . . . Let us have fair play. Maribil, Wis. There is no room in my house for a paper which like yours shows such partiality against Germany, aa is plainly seen in the way you are taking your selections from the differ ent papvra. There is no doubt that you have joined the ranks of the yellow, narrow-minded Cossack press of this country which tries, althoon your part in a more gentle way, to aronse prejudice against Germany.
