LITERARY NOTES

With five German warships facing Ad-
miral Dewey's feet at Manila and the in
tentions Of the German Kaiser still matter
of some doubt, the leading article presented
in The Cosmopolitan for July will be read
with interest. The forty. tx portraits and
poses of the Emperor William which illns-
trate the article are in themselves an extra
ordinary exhibit. They might be described
as The Evolution of an Emperor shown
by forty-six human documents" I'm
doubtedly so large number of portraits
were never before gathered together Of any
royal or imperial parsonage.
