proportion.
Ali day long the water was alive with
graceful little launches, each hlled to us

were anxious to see the big lighters at

decks black with humanity veered from
their course TO give their patrons better
view OF the monsters.

II was out in the country the other day

hole where number of small boys were in
bathing; so 1 sat down on the bank of the
stream and renewed my youth, for 1 went
through the same thing myself when 1 was
a boy.
while I was watching them with the
vain wish that l might be boy again,
noticed that one of the boys was vastly
amused about something, but was trying to
conceal mis- mirth from his companions.

Their Informal Meeting on Board the
AuEuSta-VictOria.

Their Informal Meeting on Board the
Augusta
On July 80 a brief cable message told that
the German emperor had paid visit to the
Hamburg American liner Augusta Victoria
when that vessel was on it's northern cruise,
and added that ex-Postmaster General John
Wanamaker was introduced on that occa-
sion to the kaiser. A man who was present
then, and who returned to New FORK on
the Augusta Victoria, gives the following
description of the kaiser's visit:
when the kaiser put his foot on the
ship he was received with deafening cheers
by the passengers. He went Immediately
to Captain Kempfs cabin, where ne asked
for a cigaret Then he inquired how many
passengers there were on board, and how
many Americans. Captain Kempf told him
that the majority of the passengers were
Americans, whereupon his majesty asked
that one of them should be introduced to
him. Count Metternich, the Prussian min
lister, resident at Hamburg, Count Schorn-
born and Mr. John Wanamaker were asked
to enter the captains cabin.
1.-The introduction of Mr.. Wanamaker was
plain and informal. The kaiser smiled, ex-
tended bis hand to Mr. Wanamaker and said
Il am delighted to have the opportunity
to meet a representative American, Mr.
Wanamaker.
1.-The conversation drifted to business
affairs, and later Mr.. Wanamaker asked the
kaiser why he did not visit America.
1.-The kaiser Lesitated a few seconds, and
said:
My dear Mr. Wanamaker, it is not all
out of the possibility that 1 will visit
America. I wait only until some of your
geniuses build boats that, We will say, will
travel 40 miles an hour. Then I will CO.
But, as it is now, it is rather difficult for
me to be five or six days without commune
cation with Germany
Half an hour later launch from the
Hohenzollern again appeared at the gang
plank Of the Augusta Victoria, bringing the
message that his majesty requested the
pleasure of Mr.. Wanamaker's company on
the yacht. MI. Waaamaker responded i'm
mediately, and for fully half an hour he was
shown around the royal yacht by the kaiser
personally. All the other passengers of the
Augusta Victoria were then invited to in
spect the imperial yacht. '-Chicago Tribune
