A HISTORIC CASTLE
Burg Hohenxollern, tho Cradle Of the
Reigning Family Of Germany.

Burg Hohensouern. tho Cradle Of tAe
Reigning Family q Germany.
We have left behind us the grand
duchy of Baden and are passing through
Hohenzollern, now associated with the
present greatness Of the German empire
For thousand years the name has been
borne by race of fighters, whose lancee
and battle axes have given way to maya
zine rifles and the methods of Moltke.
The name has been carried far from the
little Danube country-northward to
the Russian border and to Holland; to
the west it has thrown its arms around
Strasburg, and eastward it has driven
the holy Roman empire to beyond the
center of German influence.
The castle to which all the branches
OF this much divided stock look to as
the ancestral home lies few miles
from Sigmaringen, the road winding
along tumbling brook, whose mouth
is near the foot of the ruins of Dietfurt
castle, to point where the water on one
side flows to the Danube and on the other
into the Rhine.
In the broad valley shortly beyond
this point rises a solitary peak crowned
with the battlements of Burg Hohen-
zollern. For miles ON every side it is
the most striking feature of the country
and rising as it does straight up out of a
great plain and commanding an IN
INSTRUCTED view of all surrounding ap-
proaches, II represented down to our
century military position readily ap-
preclated
1t has been twice IN ruins. and twice
built up again by the united efforts of all
the family. The present castle was com
menced in 1850. with view not merely
of preserving the cradle of the Prussian
kings. but equally 70 represent in south
Germany military stronghold of some
value. While, therefore. the architect
has been given free hand, in order to
make the outward appearance harmonic
With the geographical situation, all the
requirements of modern warfare have
been taken into account In the construc-
ton Of the massive Zigzag OF defensive
wall.
A company Of infantry were tramping
OUT 10 GILL we came under the walls,
which made Us rather wonder where
they could all find standing room together
for the purpose, until we discovered
little terrace cut out of the side of the
slope, somewhat like the one on the
Quebec citadel.
The day was hot, our coats were of,
our waistcoats loose and sleeves rolled
up as we sought the public room of the
castle, where a retired sergeant provided
mediocre food at rather high prices.
Of course the 'Kastellan" showed US
tha castle. but the rooms being modern
the interest is rather with historic asso-
citation than with the objects themselves,
precious as many Of them are. The
present emperor has not visited the place
since his aaveDt TO the throne, and it
has never been much lived IN by any Of
the royal family. 4 reason naturally

1T Is BITTER.

Written for the LIaBT by I.
Well, now that we've all been converted,
(Sam Jones has been with us, you
know
We should Danish all ideas perverted,
And afford our religion show.
We're aware that reforms, to be lasting,
Should be backed by high courage and
will,
But while from us our vices we're casting,
Let's be sure we can swallow the pill.
Can the habits OF falsehood and SANDER,
Which in public we loudly deplOre,
Be exchanged for the praisewortby can
dor
That our ancestors practiced of yore?
There's our debJS: can we promise to pay
them,
And avoid treating creditors i'll?
And our friends, we must never betray
them
Do you think we can swallow the pill?
-
The dear girls, will they yield to per-
SuaSiOn,
Will they give up their foibles and fads,
And avoid SurreptitiouS filtration,
Say goodbye to coSmetiques-and pads ?
Can they learn TO speak well of each
other?
Can they learn that mere beauty is nil
Will they learn to stay home and help
mother?
Do you think they can swallow this

PUBLIC OPINION.

The public is glad to know that the
VolksteSt association is able 10 guarantee
a grand celebration and will do its part.
Why is il that the VOlksfest association
is surrounding itself with such secrecy
about the amounts signed and collected ?
Would it not be better to publish what
has been signed and collected as il was
done last year by the German Day asso-
citation, so that everybody knows how
matters stand and could help out in case
of need?
Why should the Volksfest association
not be able to get up good procession,
since they have everything left to them
by the German Day association, and only
few changes in decorating the same
floats being required in order to make up
their subjects?
The VolkSfeSt committee should have
easy sailing since it is proven by the as
signee that $4,000 value was turned over
to them by the German Day association
from last years celebration.

TRIBUTE 10 A THEOLO GICAL
CHARLATAN.

All hail the advent of Sam Jones,
The exponent of holy slang,
He runs free and easy show
To please the piouS gang.
He is great religious freak.
A wonder of our present age,
Some think he is just too cute
And some think he's an ancient sage.
To see the Gospel Thinkers" show.
To hear him prate of hell,
He loves to give the poor sinner fits, =
Because it pays him well.
Some go to hear his childish talk,
1t sounds you know, so funny,
But then they should remember well
He does i'll all for money.
He pitieS none and censures all,
Because there lies his arrogance.
Z His greatest feature is his gall.
Aiding him TO draw crowds immense.
