This cere mony was prepared ly tho hostess and officecrs of the cluh, and was In the naturo of a surprise to the mem liers and guests, hut all responded with much gusto when the funeral car containing th; casket In which reposed In effigy the remains of tho former ruler of Germany was wheeled Into public view. As a fit ting tribute to the end of the Hun tyrant "Uncle Sam" read the follow ing poem composed for this particu lar occasion hy Ashland's noted poet, "Hick Posey": The TrnRic OlMrquim of Kaiser Hill. "Hark from the tomb a doleful sound," The Kalyr Is dead, no bpot can he found - To bury the louthsome form oway From the eye of man and the light of day. Not e'en on the banks of tho fabled Rhine ' Where he erstwhile quaffed his foam ing stein, No grave In the faderland to spare, Tor tht widows and orphans would curse him there. They curry him up on a mountain height With the eager hope that a buzzard may light On the rotten carcass and eat Its fill, But It's stomach'B too tender for Kaiser Kill. They hear him to Belgium's reeking noil, But the air is filled with the weird turmoil Of shrieking women and men gone Wild; The pitiful wall of a dying child; The mocking sneer at a prayer for aid; The wild despair of a ravished maid; And the blood from the dust where the martyrs fell Heap htm with curses as black at Hell, Till the Kaiser groans from his sable bier, "Oh, for Golfs aake, carry me out of here," Away, away to the fields of France With the hated form and the hope, perchance, To hide it afar In some lonely spot Where the hideous thing could mold and rot. But the cold Hps speak from the reek ing pall, "No use of stopping In France at all " Afar on the waves of the desert sea They bear their burden with eage; glee, For the waves seem reaching with hungry arms To fold him away from all earthly harms. But ere he sinks to his final rest The old sea shudders with heaving breast. The winds come rushing In mad ar ray To sweep the accursed thing away. And look! What is it that floats S3 free With the grace of a swan on the troubled sea? 'TIs a phantom ship, full rigged and fair, With her ghostly crew that Is floating there. TIs the Lusitanla rides the wave, New resurrected from out her grave, And the ghosts of her martyrs shoui With fear, 'Take him away! Don't plant him here-" While the dead arise from the coral uands And beat him back with their slimy hands. And then at the hands of the female Yank We bury him deep In our septic tank. Following the funeral oration the guests passed thru the room and "viewed the remains," each one de positing on the bier a final offering to the "departed" In the shape of a firecracker. The casket was then borne to the crematory prepared In the yard and amid the "keening" of the kaiser's friends the remains went up In smoke. . , The rest of the period of the cluh'3 session was devoted to dressing dol!3 for the Christmas department of the Red Cross, after which luncheon was served by the hostess and officers.

No spot on this earth for poor old Bill. They carry him far to the Arctic land, And from there to "India's coral strand." Across the Pacific's placid wave To the "Land of the free, the borne of the brave," Till they come to the spot where their race Is won, The prettiest city in Oregon, Where a band of women w ith queen ly grace, Beauty of form, angelic of face.
