Wounded.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
The emperor of Germany is an enthu-
siastic sportsman, and does not like, as
other hunters do not, to see his game get
away. An incident which a German paper
he i6 capable of waving his dignity to
prevent that calamity.
Last summer the emperor was hunting at
Belleye. accompanied by his head game
keeper only. The emperor succeeded in
wounding a superb stag, which, after the
shot, threw itself into a reedy pond, where
1t was out of the range of his rifle, There
was no boat with which to go out after the
animal.
In this predicament the emperor looked
about and saw a large oak tree that over
looked the pond. and from which the stag
might be shot. But the emperor's withered
arm does not permit him to climb trees. SO
he commanded the gamekeeper to '.shin"
the. tree and shoot the stag.
This the man tried to do, but he was so
heavy and clumsy that he could not get up
into the tree. He tried to do SO two or
three times. and. failing. was astonished
to see the emperor stoop down like one who
IS preparing to play leapfrog and to hear
him say, Climb on my hack!'
The gamekeeper mounted the emperor's
back. alongside the trunk of the oak: the
emperor Strengthened up and the came
keeper was then able to reach the nearest
branch and lift himself up into the tree.
The result was that the emperor got his
stag but he has since laughed a great
deal about the incident. averring that his
whole empire had never weighed SO heavily
on his shoulders as that gamekeeper
weighed.

'It is difficult to say when you like Mark
Twain most, telling the truth or when he
isn't. / wish he had watered his views
of Mr.. Cecil Rhodes as they water down
railway stock now and then in America.
His truth on the Rhodesian raid has the
color of exaggeration. his humor is out OF
proportion. By the way. what would
France or Germany give for a man like
Rhodes? And what would they do with a
man like our friend Mr.. Labouchere? l
wish Mr.. Poultney Bigelow would ask the
kaiser: they knew each other as college
friends: what an interview it would make.
and the kaiser on Rhodes and Labouchere!
Do you realize what a pleasant. tantaliZinS
