KAISER AS A SPORTSMAN.
Is an Enthusiastic Hunter and Yachts

Is an Enthusiastic Hunter and Yachts.
man and Lover of Tennis.
The German emperor Is the first
monarch Of this country who takes an
intense interest In sports. Some years
ago the kaiser uttered the words ''our
future lies on the water" This cate
gorical sentence was and lad pure
ly political and economic bearing
which spread through the world.
All kinds of water sports are greatly
encouraged by the kaiser. The Ber-
liners cannot imagine regatta at
Grunau without having the kaiser
there. What is said of the Grunau re.
gatta is equally true of the KELLER
week and of other north German re-
gattas. If all of these have become In
ternational 1t is due to the initiative
Of the kaiser. The ordering of a yacht
In America is only an instance of the
interest which the kaiser takes in
yachting, us is also the sending of
Vice Admiral Senden- Bibran to En-.
gland to arrange for the race between
Heligoland and Dover, and his invita-.
ton to the English yachtsmen to par
ticipate i'll the race.
1t is well known that the kaiser
from early youth has been passion.
ate hunter. Besides, he Is an excel
lent lawn-tennis player and at Monbi
jou for years has practiced the game
on the grounds adjoining his castle
His interest IN automobilism, how.
ever, Is of recent date. He Is an en-
thusiastic chauffeur and has ordered 8
sixteen-horse-power Mercedes coach.
Neither the turf nor bicycle have
ever attracted the kaiser. 1t is an
open secret that while his uncle OH
the English throne takes an interest
In racing, the kaiser cares little about
the turf and visits the race track Mt
Hoppegarten but once year on the
so-called army day.
All those who have met the German
kaiser, says the Berlin correspondent
of the New York Commercial Adver.
tiser, be they Americans or those OF
other nationalities, are charmed by
his attractive personality. The most
recent expression of this is by Coque
lin, the great French comedian, who
was received in audience by the kaiser
at the schloss in Berlin during his re
cent engagement here. Count Hoch
berg, the lntendant of the royal thea
tiers, accompanied the great actor. Tht
conversation lasted half-hour. Cog
uelin was very enthusiastic in speak
ing Of the comprehensive knowledge
and deep insight shown by the kaiser
as to the arts and life In general ant

what Makes Great Successes.

1t took me some time TO learn, but l
did learn, that the suoremely great
managers, such as you lave these days,
never do any work themselves worth
speaking about; their point is to make
others work while they think. an.
piled this lesson in after life, so that
business with me has never been n
care. My young partners did the work
and did the laughing. and commend
to you the thought that there is very
little success where there is LITTLE
laughter. The workman who rcjoices
in his work and laughs away It's dis.
comforts is the man sure to rise. for If
is what we do easily, and what We like
to do, that we do well.-Andrew Carnn.

William Richardson is a colored gen
tleman Of large dimensions who is an
attendant in the luxurious bathrooms
located in the basement of the house
end Of the capitol for the benefit of

A few days ago letter was placed
in the box Of Representative William
Richardson at the house postoffice,
which, on being opened, Mr.. Richard
son found to be from young woman

About three days later another man,
datory missive came to him from the
young lady. This time the request for
call was still more urgent and still
unexplained. Representative Richard.
son dictated brief missive to the
young lady, calling her attention to
the fact that he did not know her and
knew no reason why he should cal
upon her. By return mail he received
a very humble and apologize note. The
young lady was having trouble with
her corns, says the Washington Star
and wished to add another link in tn,
chain of the colored William Richard
sons reputation as successful chi
ropodist.

A good satire at the expense of the
Baconian cipherists has been perpe-
trated by an anonymous Englishman,
who shows by methods quite us de-
feasible as those used In demonstrating
that Bacon wrote the Shakspearean
plays that Shakespeare really wrote the
book of psalms. For his system 1t is
necessary to spell the poets name
either Shakespear or Shakespeare, both
Of which are permissible. In the name
"Shakespear," he points out, there are
four vowels and six consonants, which
make the number forty-siX. Turning
to psalm 46, the forty-sixth word from
the beginning is shake" and the forty
sixth word from the end, excluding the
"selah." is spear" What could be
palmer?

Trucking a Burglar.

A lady who has distinguished herself
at Girton, and who assumed that she
was of very timid and nervous ma
ture, says that one night she awoke to
find burglar In her room. She was
conscious that some one was fumbling
at her desk. The room was quite
dark; the clock struck one. She lay
there considering what to do, not at
all frightened, but very indignant at
being robbed. Many minutes passed;
the burglar still moved stealthily
about. Meanwhile she had in idle mo.
ments practised the ventriloquial art
and, calling her skill into service, she
said In deep voice, seemingly ut the
burglars elbow:
Parsons, light the gas"
Her maid in the next room, thus
called, shot out Of bed, and the bur-
glar shot out Of the window. Inyesti-
CATION proved that the mans search
had not yet reached the drawer con.

EDWARD EVERETT HALE.

The s0th birthday anniversary Of Ed

Scholar and clergyman, was celebrated
in Boston recently. when Senators
Hoar and President Elliot, of Harvard,
together with many other men Of dis

Mr.. Hale is still enjoying health which
enables him to take part in such an
affair as that of Thursday with keen
zest.
Dr. Hale was born in Boston. He be-
longs to that eminent New England
family which has given to this country
many noted clergymen, journalists and
other professional men and the great
soldier, Nathan Hale, whose death was
an example of patriotism which has

Success is a pyramid. Towering up.

Success is pyramid. Towering up
ward its form narrows. Scattered
along its sides are the men who have
achieved partial success. At its apex
are the few men who have achieved
successful success, their towering
forms lit up by the pure sunshine Of
merited fame. That Is the idealistic
and true picture Of success. But is it
the real picture of the success Of our
day? Is the common view of success
a narrow or n broad one? Decidedly
narrow. Aside from the President, per-
haps, Pierpont Morgan and ]. j.. Hill
are more important in the public mind
Of to-day than any American states
man. In other countries men of mere
wealth are the acknowledged interiors
of the statesmen, writer's, scholars,
scientists and philanthropists. In this
country the men Of great wealth look
somewhat contemptuously' down upon
those outside their class. We need n
new definition of success. Failure in
the worlds material eye may be sue
cess. Ignoble success is successful
success" We must quit our estimates
Of success by the score of mans bank
account. Until we come to respect the
achievements of Americans in morals,
in literature, in science, in art, and to
honor the men who have made these
achievements we shall have no great
reformers and philanthropists, littera-
teurs, scientists and artists. The ten
denotes of our times toward money

a false view of the purposes Of life.

plant Potatoes Early and Spray

Many farmers plant potatoes late in
the season In order to avoid In part the
ravages of the potato bug, and there Is
no question about there being some
advantages in this respect. But if con-
tinued experiments demonstrate that
early planting and thorough spraying
will increase the crop from fifty to a
hundred bushels per acre over late
planting and little or no spraying it
would seem wise policy to plant
early and protect the plants by spray
ing, says an exchange.

CLASH WITH RAILROAD.

Council OF webster City and ILLINOIS
Central in a Controversy.
Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, May S.-The Illinois
Cetral Railway Company has discon-
tinued work upon its new freight depot
in this city. A clash between the rail-
road and the city officials over a city
ordinance caused the company to recall
its work gangs.
its new depot, but was also laying new
sidewalks on both sides of the street
along its property. The laying or this
walk caused the clash. The company
started in to lay three-inch hard wood
walks. The city has an ordinance for
bidding the laying of anything but
cement, stone or brick. The company
was notified of this and ordered to dis
continue the laying of plank. Not only
did they comply with this order. but
they also discontinued all work upon
the depot. Thus the matter stands. The
city council refuses to make any ex-
ception to it's sidewalk ordinance and
the railroad company evidently intends
to retaliate by delaying work on the
freight depot to the decided inconveni-
ence of shippers. If the company de-
lays the work on its walks too long the
council threatens to put them in and
tax the costs against the road. The re-
suit Of the controversy is awaited with
interest.
