ports about the Kaiser current in
America. These the New Yorker fur
nished to the best of his ability, and
ended by asking:
What do you personally think of
him?'
II am afraid" replied the young
man, that my opinion on that subject
is not of much value. am the Kaiser

The American sprang to his feet in
amazement. The Emperor cut his
apologies short.
"My friend,' said he, t'you have done
me a service. 1t is hard for me to
learn the truth about what is said of
me-just as hard as it is for people
far away to learn the truth about me.
But, with Gods help, will show them
what is said about me is wrong"
"And no one," says the American
in telling the story nowadays, need
say anything about the Kaiser to me.

1t has taken the world many years
to find out how wrong was its esti-

Twelve years ago people talked OF

Nowadays he is referred to as "the

One summer day in 1890 a New
Yorker visiting Berlin strolled to the
Lustgarten, and, sitting on one of the
benches, contemplated the fine build
ings around him. He did not know
his bearings very we'll, and, in hating
German, asked some questions of a
young man who had sat down beside
him.
This young man was Enthusiastically
German, but he replied in perfect
English, remarking that he presumed
his interlocutor was either an English
man or an American. The couple chat
ted for half an hour, and the American
became more and more astonished at
the minuteness of .the others knowl-
edge of the archaeology of Berlin. He
knew the history of every building IN
sight, told the American just those
things that the guide books do not
tell, and, withal, was so courteous and
unaffectedly cordial that the heart Of
the tourist warmed to his unknown
guide.
At length the conversation drifted
from the past to the present and the
New Yorker made remark about the
opinion held in America of the Kaiser.
In those days the young War Lord
was regarded as dangerous firebrand
as an irresponsible monarch who
might any day plunge Europe into
conflict. 1t was even said that he had
shown evidence of insanity.
When this subject arose the young
German suddenly changed from a
giver of information to seeker of it,

II can't come" he answered.
There's too much to do here in Office

Argument was of no avail, and the
Boston bankers had to wait. The COM
bination was lost on Wednesday, and
for the next four days they had to Dor
row all the cash they needed from
other companies. The inconvenience
they endured by reason of inaccessible
papers may be imagined.
This did not worry the expert, how.
ever, for he knew that nobody else
could fill his place as we'll as he, and
so there was no danger Of his being
discharged. He had been with the safe
concern for a great many years, and
his imperturbability was not to be up
set by trust company's temporary
troubles. He left the office at the usual
time every day, had his dinner at
home, and slept just as easily during
those four days as though there were
no such things as bank safes. In
speaking of the occurrence he said:
"Why didn't l go? The idea! Do
you know there are six or eight banks
that lose their figures every day? 1t
was better to leave one OF them in a
lurch for four days than to have them
all in trouble for one day."

1t appears that palmistry, stripped
of the nonsense and occultism In which
it has been befogged by itinerant gyp-
sizes and fortune-tellers, has a sclen-

who has made a life study of the hu-
man hand from purely scientific
point of view, gives the results of his
investigations in volume just issued

The volume is sort of modern text
book and guide to the real truths
which the human hand contains.
DR.. Benham declares that there IS
so much information in the hand it
will be surprise to many, and even
when it is seen how logical, rational
and even commonplace hand-readins
is. perhaps it will then be taken out
Of the occult class, to which 1t DIS

he says, my ambition has been so 10
present this matter to the public that
they would see it from a novel point
of view, and by disclosing the loglcai
basis on which it rests, presenter
without vestige of mysticism or oc-
cult halo, lift it from its position as an
effete superstition and place 1t among

been to make palmistry not an amuse-
ment nor a center around which cranKs
might congregate, but study worthy

that each package colors from to 6

would require more than 500 cars to haul
this amount of dyed goods, you will re-
