THE statement by the London Times
Berlin correspondence that the young German
Emperor in the recent maneuvers displayed
singular strategical ability of great promise"

the "war lord" will follow the example of his
predecessor. Frederick the Great. who plunged
Europe into war for the sake of glory" and
after a Lifetime OF battles. recognized the fact
that the glory cost more than it came to.

THE tardiness of the United States in
providing pension for General Fremont had
the discreditablu result of letting him die in
poverty before the pension had relieved his
necessities Now his wife is ill and destitute.
The credit of this country is no less involved in
the relief of the daughter of Benton and the
wife of the Pathfinder, the leader in the acquisI-
tion of California, and the Union General, than
in the case of half dozen other ladies who
have been given pensions. 1t is to be hoped that
Congress will act in her case more speedily
than in that of her husband

DURING the war, if you flung stick at a
dog in Washington it was expected to hit a
Brigadier General. Later, during the Hayes
administration the probability was that it
would hit an Ohio man. AT present, however,
conditions have changed SO that if someone
kicks door open it hits a man from Maine.

A TREE is one of the most beautiful crea-

work of planting them.

Captain RRANHEIMts RATTLEsNAKEs.

CAPTAIN BRANHEIM, of the Metropolitan
police force in Kansas City. and a turnkey
named Kris, had remarkably unpleasant ex-
perience with three monster rattlesnakes one
day last week. Branheim was on duty at police
headquarters at the time in question when
man was brought in very much under the in
f1uence of liquor. He was a wild and uncouth
specimen of a Westerner, and under one arm
he carried a small pine box. This box he clung
tightly to, and as there was no serious charge
against him the turnkey concluded to let him
take it into tn , cell with him.
The cells at the Central station in Kansas
City are in a sort of basement under the office,
and as the drunken man was wholly incapable
of walking, the turnkey called on Branheim for
assistance IN taking him down the stairway. 1t
was when they were within half a dozen steps
of the bottom that the drunken man slipped
from the grasp of the officers Headlong he
plunged to the bottom, the pine box being
under him when he fell There was crash
and then an ominous rattle and hiss, and out
crawled from beneath the PROSTATE man three
enormous rattlesnakes. The officers had fol-
lowed the man when he fell, and one of the
snakes crawled across Branheim's right foot.
As soon as the rattlers were released they
coiled themselves ready to STRIKE One glance
was enough for the officers, and giving yell
they scrambled back up the stairway. The
commotion reused the prisoners in the cages
and as soon as they comprehended that there
were three large rattlesnakes loose on the
floor there was wild scramble for the bunks
Branheim ran up stair; and secured his re-
volver and shot the largest snake through the
head, while Kris killed the other two with
club. One peculiar feature of the affair was
that the snakes did not offer to bite the drunken
man.
The largest snake had eight rattles and
button, while the other two had four rattles
and button apiece. These little momentos of
the officers exciting experience now adorn the
shelf of the museum at the Central station.
