circles nG late that the Emperor
William Of Germany Was suffering
from an acute aItack OF his chronic
trouble, n swelling inside the ear,
about which the doctors were much
alarmed and which has kept him
awake almost continually and driven
him To constant occupation for
relief. His odd way Of turning up

activity in rushing from one frontier
To another are thus accounted for.
sunday one of the people be~t in

Berlin news declared that he had
become worse during tue past few
days, and yesterday Il was an
nounced that owing to n cold he
would remain indoors during the
rest of the week. lf the ear malady
should take n serious turn there
would be immense excitement all
over Europe.

WAS LEARNING.

A white man who owed a small amount to a negro fish dealer and who had been repeatedly dunned, went into the Degro's ill-smelling place of busi- ness, and handing over the amount Of his indebtedness, remarked:
 Heres your money, Casper. suppose by this tins you have learned one thing"
 "Whut's dat, sah?"
 "You have learned that when owe you anything 1t Is of no use to bother me about it."
 "Yaa, sah, Ps Earned dat, an, I tell you, Is Earned ernudder thing"
 "What's that?"

THE SUPREMACY OF THE LIE

It Is sometimes difficult and often painful to tell the truth. A lie Is s0 much better dressed than the truth. The truth Is laboring man; the He Is the successful stock broker. The truth may tramp wearily and pain fully; the lie rides In palace car. The truth hesitates and stammcrs the lie is as easy and as voluble of smooth sentences as the brook Is prolific of musical babble. Truth limps with a stone bruise; the lie dances with sound and graceful feet. Do you ask who is to blame for this condition of society? You are-everybody Ia. While protesting to love the truth we are bored by 1t. While pretending to scorn the He we are enraptured with 1t. We can see its paint, powder and false hair, but there is music in its voice and its manners are engaging. Truth Is plodder the liar is poet. Truth raises the corn, but the lie pockets the money.
 In this life facts are rough stones. Fiction Is the carved figure. Facts belong to all men. Fiction belongs. to the chosen. Fact Is mere discovery ; fiction is creation. The man who writes an original story has finer mind, has A mind more in keeping with the God-given faculty of crea- tion, than the man who complies an encyclopedia. One is industry; the other is genius. The compiler is truth ; the story writer is the lie.
