8 One occaelon When Kaiser Willie I'm
Lost His Self Possession.

Kaiser Wilhelm, always self
possessed character, was even as q
lad equal to almost any emergency,
but there was one time in his life
@hen his aplomb failed him com
pletely, and that was when he was
received in a private audience by
Leo XIII. Strange to say, the self
possessed young emperor felt COM
pletely overawed by the presence of
the holy father and his encourage.
A gentleman who was present and
witnessed the whole scene said that
a student coming before a row of
examiners or q culprit appearing
before a court could not have look
ed more frightened than did the
emperor when he stood between the
fielding. doors OF tine audience hall
as they opened before him.
AS he caught sight Of the Pope
in white garments, stiff, immobile,
almost unearthIy, surrounded by
half dozen cardinals in red robes,
who were looking at him curiously,
his half powerless right hand, in
which he held his present for the
pope, gold snuffbox, with his own
portrait framed in rubies, shook
go violently that he dropped the
treasure. The monsignore who was
nearest. in STOPPING to pick it up,
bumped his head against that Of the
emperor, who was similarly engaged,
and the shock SO unnerved his
majesty that he quite forgot the he'll
met which he held in his left hand
and which fell to the ground in its
turn.
At last everything was put
straight. His holiness was still
quietly smiling his everyday smile,
and William advanced few steps
to deliver his little speech, which
he did with a sulky voice. He look
ed as furious as if he just suffered
from the awkwardness of somebody
else, and they say that "a hours
afterward his brow remained as
/ closely knitted as those of bear

Episcopa, HeraIdrv.

In the arms of the archbishop of
Canterbury there appears decora-
ton somewhat like q clergyman's
collar with an extended linen band,
but it is intended to represent a mar
row, circular strip of white wool
supposed to be shorn from the
lambs of st. Agnes at Rome, which
was worn round the shoulders, and
had two such hanging bands, one be-
fore and the other behind, while the
crosses upon it are thought ofigi-
nally to represent the-pins by which
it was fastened to the yestment.
This precious strip was called a pail
or pallium, and was peculiar to
archbishops conferred on them by
the pope, and, like most papal gifts,
of high market value.
Expensive as was its possession,
it was by no means q mere luxury,
for by the decretals of Pope Gregory
no act of an archbishop was valid
without it. If he had not received
it, he could not confer orders, con-
secrate churches or summon coun-
/; Gil The The smaii staif, the head Of
which appears inside the half circle
formed by the pallium as it falls
over the shield, is the crozier, a staff
with cruciform head that is borne
by Or before an archbishop alone,
though the simple pastoral staff
with an ornamental crook, which
merely denotes The oeics oe q
bishop, is often mistakenly called q
crozier.-Quiver.

Serious Side of a Joke.


There were some strange rumors
afoat here. 1t was story Of wo.
man coming hundreds of miles to meet
her lover-only to find herself the
victim Of cruel hoax. The informa-
tion comes from reliable source, but
no names were given.
1t SCENE that a young man in Co.
lumbia and young woman in Chicago
have been corresponding for some
time, having made this long distance
acquaintance through the medium of
e newspaper advertisement.
Proposals Of marriage were made.
The young man represented that it
would be too costly q trip for him to
go to Chicago and bring his bride here,
so the hride.nrosrrect;ye Same heEs 70
meet her avowed lover.
When she arrived, no lover met her
at the station, SO she drove tc tho
street address given in a letter from
him. When she arrived at her desti-
nation, she found herself in squalid
negro settlement. and the houso with
the number for which she was looking
was the worst Of the lot.
The truth broke upon her then
Her finance had been using an assum
ed name and she had been made foo
of. It is said that she is young and
good looking. Detectives are working
on the case with the hope Of discover
ing the young mans identity.-7H,

!, It began to rain and the stranger

sponded, ssWait; I'll get you one. /"
AS it was late in the evening all tie

SsCould you do that in every sa-
loon% the stranger inquired ti1nid-
1y when the two were once more in
the street.
tI could, but you couldn't" the
native declared. "You couldn't say
it quick enough"
sBut how did you know they had
a brier wood, crooked handled UNI
brella in there?"

Money in Corn and Wheat.

Mr.. ErnestT. Wes..hEook, off Omaha,
Neb., is in the city, registered at the
Charleston Hotel: "Our wheat crop
this year is the largest in the history
Of the State and the farmers are hap.
py," said Mr.. Westbrook in speaking
toa reporter for the News and Cou-
rier. 'For the first time the wheat
crop is mere vaias6ie than the corn
crop. Nebraska this season produced
thirty million dollars worth Of wheat
(ifty million bushels) and twenty-five
million dollars worth Of corn. Think
Of the farmers in one State reaping
seventy-fivc million dollars at one har-
vest. Working the soil for living
is not so bad according to these fig
urea. -
BIZ. Westbrook is also, interested in
,the Texas oil boom. '..On my way
down here,'' he said, ''I passed
through some Of the richest districts.
The Beaumont boom is still exciting
the people Of the Lone Star State, as
we'll as the entire South. Oil has be-
gun to come into general use out there
for fuel. The daily shipment by rail
from Beaumont now amounts to 10
cars. The exports by water are rapid
ly increasing. The producers COM
plain bitterly Of. the scarcity Of cars.
Nearly oil the oil territory has been

AN AFRICAN HEADDREss.
Grotesque Knob Worn by Males OF
the Maehfkoiumwo Tribe.

n
The Maahikolumwe are as savage
atribe and as far removed from any
form of civilization as can be found
in central Africa. Probably Justly
they have reputation for treach-
cry. Though the women wear as
much, if not more, clothing than is
customary in central Africa, the
men in nearly all cases 60 absolutely
naked. Every man carries a bundle
of long handled barbed assagais.
Nearly every man has dressed, or,
to describe it more accurately,
forced, his hair and scalp into the
knob or spike which is peculiar to
this tribe. Many wear the full
headdress, which looks like long,
straight and flexible wand starting
from the back Of the head. One Of
these hcaddrcsses measured and
found it to be 45 inches long, meas
uring from the skin of the head up
ward. The headdress is made of
hair and grease, with finely shaved
piece Of sable antelope's horn inside
to stiffen it.
In making it the skin of the head
is drawn back until mass Of flesh
and skin protrudes two or three
inches from the back Of the head.
This causes great pain at first. One
whom We asked replied, eve bear
the pain because Of the beautiful
result" On this artifcially made
base of soft flesh is built an up1 light
cone, gradually tapering to less than
one inch in diameter and prolonged
to at least three feet in height. The
straight upright piece is quite fexi-
BILE and waves in the wind.
The completed headdress takes
about three years to make, and the
happy possessor of 45 inch spike
attached to his scalp takes great
care of it. When he sleeps in q
hut, the flexible end is tied by q
string to the roof; when sleeping
in the open, u long handled assagai
is stuck firmly in the ground at the
mans feet, and the end of the head
dress is tied by long string to the
shaft of the assagai, SO keeping it
off the ground.
In spite of the time and trouble
taken to make these headdrcsses,
some of the men offered to cut them
off and sell them for few yards of
calico. I had hoped to buy somc
on our return journey, but unfortu-
nately passed south, just west of the
Mashikolumwc country, and saw no
more Of this peculiar headdrcss.
Though not tall, the Mashikolumwe
are well made and active and, judg-
ing by some who followed me when
hunting on horseback, good run

Why Napoleon Failed,

A recent book, written by en- emf.
nent English statesman, Lord Rose
berry, upon Napoleon the Great, is
profoundly interesting in its sympa-
thetic, and yet judicial, estimate of
the most marvellous Of modern con-
querors. Napolean appears, to this
latest biographer, so great in his
energy, his intellect, his genius, that
he "enlarges the scope of human
achievement" He fought the Aus
trians once for Eve consecutive days;
without taking off his boots or closing
his eyes; he would work for cigh-
teen hours at stretch; "his genius
was as unfailing aud supreme in the
art of craftsmanship as in the ar! Of
/ war, and he was as much the first ruler
as the first captain in the world"
Ordinary measures do not apply to
him; VIC seem to be trying to span
mountain with tape The conclu-
sion arrived at is that Napoleon was
the largest personal force that has
ever come into the modern European
world.
Why, then, did his career end in de-
feat and exile? Napoleon own say.

serted; "tho laws of mortality could
not be intended to apply to me-" He
believed that religion was essential to
the nation he ruled, but not to him.
self. He was not antagonostic to it;
he patronized it rather. But for a
nlan as consciously great as he to obey
the Ten Commandments when they
ran counter to his own views, appear
ed to him absurd. Humility was in
his eyes no virtue, but an entire mis-
take.
Yet humility alone could have saw
ed him. The dangerous, the fatal
element in Napoleon's nature was
ambition. In youth,tfhe was pheno.
mens!!y sane aud welI-balapoed. But
his little knowledge Of his own pow
ers unbalanced him; nothing seemed
impossible; nothing seemed as impor-
tant AS his own destiny; "the intellect
and energy were atill there, but as in
caricature; they became monstrosi-
ties" Then came the inevitable col
lapse Of insane and impossible ambi-
tions; and at forty-six, the man who
had dreamed Of governing a'world be-
came captive exile. His conquests
left no mark; the kings ho made lost
their thrones; France was beggared
and exhausted by him; and the great
est gifts ever bestowed upon human
soul since the days Caesar thus failed
to help forward the world.
1t any one was ever great enough to
do without goodness, Napoleon was
the man. The result of his expert
ment ought to be enough to satisfy
anybody. There is no need for small
er men to..repeat the test; it stands as
q finality. Plain, simple goodness is
the neceas;..y of great souls as wellsas
lesser ones; duty is the supreme law,
God, the almighty ruler. Napoleon
failed not because he was not great
enough, but because he was not good
enough. "Not by might, nor by power,
but my spirit, saith the Lord Of
hosts" That truth stands;. and we
meg stand or fall by it, as we choose.
