An imperial Holiday.

The German Emperor is popular with
the boys of his realm. Having boys
himself, very likely he understands
their nature, and is generally able to do
the thing which pleases them.
He had an easy chance to do this
when he recently visited Dresden. He
was riding through the streets when a
small and poor urchin, loaded down
with books, on his way to school, called
out at the top of his voice:
Say, Herr Kaiser, can't we have q
holiday tomorrow
The Emperor heard and laughed.
ia, JAZZ he answered, and rode on.
The next day, when the school chill
dren Of Dresden went to their accus-
toned tasks, they found a notice post
ed to the effect that, by special decree
of his Majesty the Emperor, holiday
had been granted them.

It seems to be the general opinion
that Bismarck's secret understanding
with Russia was known to the Emperor
of Austria and Count Kalnoky before
1890, and that the information in the
first place came from Russia. It is
pointed out that when Prince Bismarck
was dismissed, no secret was made in
Vienna of the general relief, and even
the acknowledged organs Of the foreign
office openly said that with Count Ca
privi an era of frankness, sincerity,
and plain dealing had begun in the re-
lations of the two allied powers. Less
than year ago, according to the New
York Evening Post, the Austrian EN-
peror is said to have declined to re-
ceive a member of the Bismarck fam
lily in the followings words: II am not
only an Emperor, but man Of honor,

In this church is the great bell, almos,

scription in Spanish roand 1t as band,
the letters and figures being still well
raised in the solid casting. This bell
was brought over from Spain and hung
in the tower, but finally, being thought
too heavy for the tower, 1t was removed
to a substantial timber support in the
entrance to the church. In the cathe-
dral and other churches are remarkable
reredoses, paintings and vestments,
many of them Of considerable antiqui-

this home Of the past.

Improving.

A celebrated German physician was
once called upon to treat an aristocratic
lady the sole cause of whose complaint
was high living and lack of exercise.
But 1t would have never done to tell
her so; so his medical advice ran thus:
Arise at o'clock, take a walk in the
park for one hour, then drink a cup Of
tea. then walk another hour, and take O
cup Of chocolate. Take breakfast nj 8
O'clock"
Her condition improved visibly. until
one fine morning the carriage Of the
Baroness was seen to approach the phy.
sician's residence at lightning speed.
The patient dashed up to the Doctors
house, and, on his appearing on the
scene, she gasped out:
"Oh, Doctor, took the chocolata
first"
'Then drive home as fast as vo,
can," directed the astute disciple o.
Aesculapius. rapidly writing a prescrin-
ton, land take this emetic. The tes
must be underneath"
The grateful patient complied. She
is still improving.

would otherwise have been staring
blanks.
Besides, men understood very little
about the strange happenings in the
world around them, and invented fairy
tales to explain these mysteries. 1t is
not remarkable, then, that so late as
Columbus time his sailors did not at
all like to think Of sailing westward
into the unknown ocean full of fabu-
lous creatures and magic happenings.
Even with all that wise and studious
men have learned since, there is
enough to be met with in long ocean
voyage to excite wonder and alarm.

Plagiarism.

Ihat was a neat defense which Ma
rion Crawford interposed when he was
accused Of plagiarizing the elopement
scene In Casa Braccio" from an old
magazine story. He simply admitted
the fact and stated that the story in
question was written by his wife's
aunt, Mrs. Hobson, who herself told
MIN the story, which was founded on
an actual occurrence, so that there was
no plagiarism involved. Charles Reade.

OF one Of its picturesque features, the

forever. Delaware will be a sad little

LADY NAYLOR-LEYLAND,
nee Chamberlain.

The city Of Santa Fe., N. NJ, was
founded by the Spaniards in 1893 under
the name of Santa Fe, on the site of
Tgeux or Tigua, one Of the celebrated
''Seven Cities at the founding Of the
Aztec Confederacy, in 1926. Its streets,
museums, and private collections Of
curios absolutely TEEN with relics and
records Of a stirring history, and in
clude famous pictures Of saint or shrine,
painted on elk and puma skins, sabre
thrusts where they had been used as
banners during the march Of Coronado
in 1541, others with arrow holes from
attacks by Indians on the line Of march
up the valley of the Rio Grande. There
are quaint maps in Latin and French,
showing three cities OF note on the con-
tinent, and giving California as an ISL
and of the Pacific.
The palace has become the home Of
the choicest collection Of Mexican and
Spanish pictures in the Southwest, and
in it's historical rooms are priceless
treasures of record or relic. Around it,
too, fingers much Of the romance of
the city. For 300 years it has been the
home Of it's rulers, seventy-siX Mexican
and Spanish and seventeen American
governors having held sway within It's
walls. In it's early days it lay under
the shadow of the dread inquisition,
and within it's walls, in later times,

pen Of General Lew Wallace.

the plaza when Onate set up his camp
in 1862, and when the Pueblo Indians
conquered the city in $780, burning the
archives and sacred vessels, while
twelve years later, in 1862, the same
plaza witnessed the triumphal entry Of
Diego de Vargas, after his vow and the
victory which followefit, which again
placed the city under Spanish. rule.

Stars and Stripes in 1916, and here,

In Santa Fe are the military head
quarters for New Mexico, it being also
the oldest military establishment in
America, created by the Span'ards in
1902, and in almost continuous occupa-
ton ever since. Here, roo Is the oldest
house in the United States, in which
Coronado is said to have lodged in 1910,

When the census of 1860 was taken 1t

was at spot in the middle Of the Scio-

Gothic. Ohio. In 1870 it was still IN
Ohio, but had climbed out of the river
and moved to a spot forty eight miles
east of north from Cincinnati. Between
1870 and 1880 the center Of population
passed almost directly through Cincin-
natl, moving west by south, and when
the census was taken in the latter year
it was located eight miles southwest OF
the city above named. Between 1880
and 1890 it moved into the Hoosier
State, and was found, when the last
decennial census was taken, to be tWen-
ty miles east of Columbus, Ind. The
greatest distance the center moved dur
ingany ten years was between 1870 and
1880, when it travelled fifty-eight miles.
The least was between 1900 and 1910,
thirty-six miles.-St. Louis Republic.
