The Kaiser's Story,

The emperor's "lieblingsblumen has
become the national flower of Germany
and the symbol of patriotism, but it
will never be forgotten why he loved
it, and the beautiful and touching story
possesses ever new interest when told
in his own words. Finding how many
incorrect versions were spread about to
account for his fondness for the simple
field flower, the aged kaiser related the
following pathetic incident:
Gas my mother fled with myself and
my deceased brother from Memel to
Konigsberg during the troublous times
at the beginning Of our century, the
misfortune happened to us that one of
the wheels Of our coach broke in the
midst Of the plain. No village was
within reach, and we seated ourselves
on the edge of the ditch while the dam
age was being repaired as we'll as cir
oumstances would permit. My brother
and I were rendered both tired and hun
cry by this delay, and particularly I,
being weak and delicate little fellow,
gave my dear mother much trouble
with my complaints. In order to dis
tract our thoughts, my mother stood up,
pointed out the many beautiful blue
flowers in the fields and requested us
to gather them and bring them to her.
Then she made wreaths of them, and
with joy we watched her skillful hands.
Thereby the sad state Of the country,
her own trials and the anxiety concern
ing her sons future may we'll have once
more pressed heavily OIL my mothers
heart, for slowly tear after tear welled
from her beautiful eyes and fell Oh the
wreath of cornflowers. This emotion of
my devoted mother went deeply to my
heart, and, forgetting my own childish
sorrow, attempted to console her with
caresses, during which she placed the
blue wreath, glittering with tears, on
my head. was then 10 years old, but
this touching scene has never faded from
my memory, and if now, in my old age,
I behold the sweet blue flower, mag
inc I see the tears of the most devoted
Of mothers shining upon it and there
fore love it above all Others"

Jena's Celebration.

The University Of Jena this year cele-
brates it's three hundred and fiftieth an
niversary. 1t was founded in 1547 by
Prince Johann Friedrich, who, having
lost his own University of Wittenberg,
together with his personal liberty, at
the battle Of Muhlberg, took the first
steps toward the foundation of Jena.
Its first professor was Melanchthon, Lu-
theirs friend, but he resigned the same
year in consequence of religious dissen-
sions. The first score Of students came
from Wittenberg, and their numbers
grew so fast that their manifestations
Of joy when, few years afterward,
their prince was liberated were enough
to precipitate first class town and
gown riot Al a consequence the towns
folk refused to harbor the students any
longer, and 1t took the intercession Of
the prince to appease them.

ror, half desperation, the look Of a
haunted man, whose fate impeJs him
forward. Then another city, city of
whitewashed walls and many huts and
few palaces and stretches of the sea and
the masts of ships.
The swish of waves, and the roaring
of the wind, and the rattle of cordage,
and in the midst of the ship the brown
faced man calmly Indifferent to the
tempest.
More clouds and long blanks of cha
otto nothingness. My eyes find them
selves gazing at the wall of my room,
and presently it opens and through it
steps the man who crouched by the city
gates. Step by step he comes to my bed
side, and his eye glistens and his knife
is red, and my eye never leaves his.
Then he pauses and bends low with
his arms outstretohed.
"Sahib, he murmurs, and his voice
is singularly low and gentle, II am
here"

He removes his turban and slowly
unwinds its many folds. As he does so
the room seems filled with the rustic of
garments, and strange, sweet perfume
comes to me. There are whispers, too,
and sound like stifed sob.
Slowly the stranger unfolds his tur-
ban, and suddenly out of it leaps a
great white pebble. He lifts it before
me betwixt his lean brown thumb an
forefnger, and know that in his otht
hand he holds the red knife.

AS he speaks sudden ray of sun
light falls upon the white pebble and a
mighty glory seems to fill the room.
My eyelids drop before that glare. I
see the brown face of the Indian bend
lower. I see his fingers clutching at his
knife. The room grows dark and yet
darker. I seem to be slipping away,
slipping away.
"John!"
Is that my name? Is somebody call
ing me? What is this that holds my
hand and draws me back? No, no; let
me 60.
"JohnE"
Surely somebody is calling me.
open my eyes slowly, SO slowly.
Across the level Of my bed I see the face
of George leaning forward, his features
in the shadow, his eyes cleaning with
frightened anxiety, in his hand tiny
medicine glass that catches dazzling
ray Of sunlight. Somebody else is there,
somebody who holds my hand tightly,
somebody who calls again:
