NATE HAS NO LOVE FOR HUNS

O. K. Ritchey received a letter Saturday from Millerton, Michigan, from his old friend Nate J. Reed, a former sheriff of Jasper county, some twenty years ago, which the The Democrat is permitted to publish: - Millerton, Mich., Oct. 18, 1918. Dear Friend O. K. Ritchey, Rensselaer, Ind. It has \ been some time since I deceived your letter and I have been away behind with all my correspondence. I am feeling elegant and doing a big lot of nothing—dishing and batching. When the devilish Huns will conclude they have enoughs—they’re going some now O. K., and, it looks very favorable for a quit on the German side—and of course the flat-heads will know then that “Got” was not very thick with that old empty-headed Kaiser Bill. Well, Ose, I suppose you are very familiar with the city. She is a fine town and you and I saw her grow from a very small village to a beautiful city and the best people in the world to inhabit it. I have seen a great many towns and cities but none as grand to me, as my dear old Rensselaer. I love her, and her sons have turned out to a man to help lick the ding-dingest, meanest nation on earth, and we can get along very well if we never hear any more of that pump-handle talk in this good old free America. I do not think there is a drop of German fluid in my veins. If I was sureVhere was I would take my jack-knife and let it out. Do you have any feeling for the inhuman set? Gosh! I wish I could send them' all to haydee in double-rank at a rightshoulder shift army. How is that? Write. NATE J. REED, The Hun stater.
