Not That Kind of Chickens.

A few days ago a rather bashful
young woman went into Lyon coun-
ty (Kan.) store carrying three chick
ems. She inquired the price of chick
ems, and at the same time put them
on the counter. The clerk did not
know the chickens feet were tied,
and asked if they would lay there.
She bit her handkerchief and tucked
her he'd and said; mo, sir. They

EMPERoR's PROPOSED GIFT.
It Does Not Meet the Approval of Pan
Germans.

The Pan-Germans do not approve of En-
peror Williams proposed gift of statue
of Frederick the Great to the United States,
nor for that matter, Of any special efforts
on the part of his majesty to win the good
will of the people of the United States DR..
Hasse, member of the reichstag, and a
prominent professor of Leipzig, spoke in
this connection before the annual meeting
at Eisenach Of the Pan-German Associa-
ton. He said
THE present official German effort to
promote German culture in the United
States rests upon a misconception. German
culture can never make the Yankees Ger
mans; it will only result in increasing the
nobility of the race, in adding to their edu-
cation and their wealth, and, consequently,
making them more dangerous, in the same
manner that the Poles were affected by the
introduction of German culture. The United
States is and will remain the grave of Ger
man characteristics" Dr., Hasse's remarks
were greeted with applause
Another speech delivered before the Pan
German Association, in which the granting
of English scholarships to German students
by the late Cecil Rhodes was denounced as
a "shrewd plan to get Germans to act as
Anglomaniac apostles in Germany, was
received with enthusiastic applause and
resolutions calling upon German students
to reject the Rhodes scholarships were
unanimously adopted by the association.

THE STEAMSHIP COMBINE.
Terms to Which the Hamburg Lines
Have Agreed.

The directors of the Hamburg American
line have issued circular divulging the
terms of the agreement arrived at between
the Morgan shipping combine and the Ham
burg-American and the North German
Lloyd lines. The two German companies
undertake to pay the combine an annual
sum equal to a dividend on shares amount
ing to at least 10000, 600 marks. This pro-
vision was agreed on when the capital of
the German lines was 10000, 600 marks EACH
and in the event of an increase in the CAPT.
tai, a contingency which meanwhile has
arisen, the combine reserved the right of
increasing the annual sum accruing to 1t
to an amount equaling dividends on % per
cent of the capital stock The syndicate
in return pledges itself to pay the German
per cent on a corresponding amount OF
capital, and not to send any ships to a
German port without the consent of the
German companies The latter are bound
to limit their traffic from British ports.
They can, however, continue the existing
services. The Germans are not precluded
from including in their ports of call here
after British ports from which the COM
bne does not services, nor from run
ming their South American. Mexican and
West Indian services from British ports,
even though the combine Utilities the same
ports. The combine, on the other hand,
undertakes to allow, at most, two ships
weekly in each direction to touch at French
ports The Germans are debarred from
touching at Belgian ports with ships run
ming to and from North America, and agree
not to touch at English ports exceeding 10
times for each company each way, making
an aggregate of 800 calls. The Germans
are free to increase their sailingS from
French ports, in which case the combine
is entitled to an increase proportionately.
