Ono Picture Of the Kaiser.

The German emperor must have been
very much amused when he read the
speech Of one of the natives Of the Cam
eroons in proposing the health Of the
kaiser at n recent festival. The speech
was az follows: 'The emperor is the
wisest and most powerful man in the
world. He sees the treasures in the mid
die Of the earth, and he has them brought
forth He spans the world with iron
threads, and rs soon as he touches them
his words travel over space. He has
steamships that sail on dry land. When
mountain stands in his way, no bores
a hole through it. II river bars his
progress, he builds street in the air
Though the emperor is the richest Of all
men, he has only one wife, and though
his wife is the most beautiful woman
on earth he had not anything TO pay for

FRIENDSHIP AND THE NURSE.
why Two Neiehbors Are Not ON Very Good
Terms with Each Other.

"Hattie and you do not seem TO bo
friends any more" said the short, thin
woman as she paid tho fare.
"Well, no, we are not" replied the
tall, stout woman, slipping her dime
back in her pockctbook. You know the
nurse she thought SO much of came to
live with me last winter"
"why, how did that happen?' asked
the short, thin woman.
"M-vell, / suppose il was because
she heard me say that / paid my nurse
90 cents more week than Hattie did
and that l wanted one at the time. OF
course l didn't say that to her, you
know, but she heard me. Maybe men,

evenings out week. Girls will be girls,
you know, and my husband can look
after the children on those evenings az
well as she can"
"M'hm. II keeps man from finding
fault with his wife's management, too,
II he's kept busy while he's at home. +"
Eyes, and I've noticed that by tho
time they are in bed he's too tired to
think of going out Well, as was say
ing, that girl came to me the very next
week. Oh, and the stories she told me
about Hattie, even to the things she had
said about me, you'd scarcely believe.
The girl couldn't seem to remember any.
Of them at first, but after I'd logged her
memory she told me lots. Hattie want
ed to quarrel with me, could see that,
but she didn't quite dare. She knew
how much that girl knew. Besides, I
was as sweet as honey TO her every time
we met
'Then how comes IL that you are not
friends now2"
"Ob, didn't I tell you? The girl went
back to her after n while"

THE CLIFF RUINS OF COLORADO.
A Region of Especial Interest TO Students
of the Prehistoric.

The cliff ruins of the San Juan and
the Mancos have been the center Of Mt
traction, have been viewed from all
sides, and their wonders have been told
and retold to the world time aud time
again. Scientific men have visited the
region, have penetrated southwestern
Colorado and have considered that SEQ
tion place of especial interest, because
the cliff and cave dwellings are probably
the oldest in this strange land, being
the first built in that mysterious journey
southwark OF great but unknown pco-
pie. For 30 years the prospcctor has
followed the San Juan river and gazed
with careless unconcern ON the rough
and broken walls, SO full Of interest TO
the archeologist
But tho mind Of the prospector has
no room for curios, and he has no time
for archaeological investigation He
sees only the glitter of tho gold in tho
sand, and thinks only Of the time when
he shall have made his stake. In No
vember Of 1899 hundreds of gold hunt
ers rushed madly into the canyon north
Of the Navajo mountain, Travelled 800
miles over bleak, desert tablelands, suf-
fering terribly from the cold. hunger
and the long, wearisome journey. In
few days they had staked of all the
available land for 90 miles up and down
the river and then returned home with
out having obtained 80 much as a color
Of gold, and today have nothing to show
for 1t but the stakes.
It IL one of the most wildly pictur'
esque and beautiful regions in the
