A Joke OF the Kaiser.

A story which reaches me from
Potsdam is of a harmless character
The German emperor appeared a few
days ago before the barracks of the
Guard Hussars. He dianounted and
gave the corporal of the guard orders
to march his men away silently into
the officers mess close by. Then he
caused the alarm to be sounded by
the tslmpeter of the guard, whom he
kept by his side The officer of the
guard, who had noticed nothing of
the event, came rushing out, but the
guard was gone. Where is your
guard, sir2" said the emperor; to
which the unfortunate man could OF
course give no answer. His majesty
was nightly pleased at the result OF
this practical joke. Vanity Fair.

The WAY .hs BOY Got II.

The danger of intrusting oral mes
sages to boys, however bright they
may be, was demonstrated in a news
paper office not a thousand miles
away from City Hall park. A mem

the boys TO the composing room for
a proof of a story entitled, "Arion's
Great Performance" Arion, it should

BY way of awful example the story is
printed of lovely little girl baby who
pined away and seemed at the point of
death whenever she lived in the same
house with her father. Away from him
she grew fat and rosy. There seemed
something uncanny and witchlike in the
thing. At least there would have been
had not that father lived in scientific
and analytical age, when we nose into
everything and very properly try to find
material causes for everything occurring
in the material world. That father
would certainly have been led out and
hanged in an age before mankind knew
enough to watch sharply to find out that
it was the fumes from incessant tobacco
smoking that nearly killed the baby.
