THE EMPEROR WAS BROKE.
One Time When William, OF Ger
many, Had to Borrow FROM His
Brother Henry.

It seems Incredible, yet it is fact
that Emperor William of Germany IS
often short Of money, and the reason
is because. he rarely. carries any
money in his pockets.
Tie other day he was at festival
with his brother Prince Henry, and
his attention being drawn to new
automobile machine, he res solved to put
a coin in the slot in order to see how
the apparatus worked. When he
searched fer coin, however, he could
not find one and he was obliged to bor-
row from his brother.
On various other occasions, and es-
pecially while hunting, since it is his
custom to give money to the foresters
and other attendants, he has found it
necessary to borrow from his com
panions.
The only time when he fills his peck
cts with money, says the Detroit Free
Press, is on Christmas eve, for 1T has
long been his custom to stroll at that
time through the streets near the pal
ace and to give money to all deserving
persons whom he meets, but especial
~ to children and old soldiers.

The child was shrinking in fright, says

The posse rushed to it's rescue, and
the alligator redoubled its efforts to-

big dog belonging to the child came
running along and dashed at the

its tail around with great force and
struck the dog, knocking the animal
toward the gators mouth, which
opened with a gu1p, taking in the dog.
The saurian killed the dog and swal-

SALARIES OF ACTORS.
Are AbsurdIy Exaggerated in thu
Public Mind and Actors Keep
Up the Deceit.

Salaries of actors vary from almost
nothing. to $500 a week, with few
exceptions that go above that, writes
T. e. Fyles, in Leslie's Monthly. I
doubt though that any supporting
actor outside of Weber d Fields COM
,pany gets more than $500. Those
that go above are stars, many of
whom receive fixed salary and a
percentage on the profits. A female
star who crowded New York thea
ter the season before last for six
months received only $3.50, while her
leading man was getting $3.50. But
she was risky venture for her mani
.ager, who lifted her from minor
position to stardom, and failure
would have cost him much. Many
stars are their own managers, and
engage business man to direct
their affairs for salary, as they
would supporting actor. The gains
of actors are absurdly exaggerated in
rthe public mind, and even among
themselves they endeavor to keep
up the deceit. A reason that so many
English actors are imported is that
PLAYERS of the first class in London
receive a third less than equally tai
jented and well-known Americans

A rather curious case has occurred
ion a shooting preserve in England. A
fowl laid five.eggs in some rough grass
in an old pasture near one of the farm
xteads and a partridge took to the nest
and laid in it. She Matched four of the
fowls eggs, but none of her own, seven
being left in the nest. The foreman's
wife carried the four chickens into the
farmyard, but the partridge very soon
fetched them back again into the field,
and they subsequently, remained with
her, spurning the domesticity of their
farmyard relatives; on their being APP

Undrsas rItles of royalty.

Members of all European royal FAM
lilies delight to travel incognito when.
ever they can, for it spares them a
great deal of tiresome etiquette, and
contributes to their comfort in many
ways. When Queen Victoria wished
to be incognito she adopted her title of
countess of Balmoral. King Edward
when he was prince Of Wales used the
title Of earl Of Chester frequently
when on the continent. Empress Eu-
genie travels as Countess de Pierre
fonds, title chosen from favor
tie shooting-lodge in the forest of
Fontainebleau. The king of the Bel
gians is Count Ravenstein when he
pays an informal visit to London or
any other capital where he wishes to
be unrecognized. The queen regent of
Spain, who is just now enjoying her
first real holiday out of Spain for some
years, hides her identity under the
title of countess of Toledo; the queen
of Portugal, when she stays with her
relatives in England, is Marqueza de
Villacoza; and the king of Portugal
uses the incognito title of Count de
Barcellos.-Londo1l King.

GRAVE ROBBIkG CASE
Indianapolis Detectives Make
Important Capture.
An OLD HAND At BODY SNATCHING


INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-William
Nofitt, an alleged grave robber, has
been arrested at his home in north In
dianapolis by Detectives Manning and
Asch. Moffitt was implicated by Rufus
Cantrell, Sam Martin and John McEn-
dree. He is white, about fifty-fve years
of age and has family. It is said he
has been in the grave robbing business
for nearly a quarter of a century. The
detectives say that he was employed
as janitor in one of the local medical
colleges a few years ago. Asch and
Manning have been getting evidence
against Moffitt for several days.
Moffitt refused to talk on his way to
the police station and denied that he
knew Cantrell and the other ghouls.
Moffitt was confronted with Cantrell
and the other negro ghouls under ar
rest At first he denied that he knew
any Of the negroes.
s'Now, look here, Mofitt," Cantrell
said, II can prove right here that I
know you. What Kind Of scar have
you on your back?"
Mofitt replied sullenly that he did
not have scar on his back. A heated
argument between them arose, and
Cantrell declared that Moffitt was shot
in the back while robbing a grave in
the insane hospital cemetery by night
Waterman about four years ago.
Detective Asch said, I'm going to
strip you and see if you were shot"
MOffitt realized then that he was in 8
tight place and admitted that there
was bullet wound in his back. He
denied, however, that he was robbing
a grave when he was shot. Before
leaving the Jail Mofntt admitted that
he knew the negroes, but denied again
that he ever robbed graves with them.
He said he would talk when the right
time came, and he was locked up in the
police station
Mofatt was taken. into the detective
department. and submitted to "a cross
examination in the presence of Cam
trell, Martin, McEndree,. Asch, Man
ming and w. 4. Long. He refused alb
solutely to answer questions of any
kind. sCantrell said that Moffitt lost his
job at the medical college because Of
the objections raised by a member of
the faculty to Mofitt drawing pay as a.
janitor and receiving money for ina

his subject, ''The Local Outlook At

To-day was the subject taken by the
Rev Charles w. Shelton of the Congre-
gational Home Missionary society. At
the end Of this address a light COLA
ton was served by the ladies of the
Young Peoples society. The after
noon program commenced with a very
interesting address by Mr. Ives entitled
Foreign Connecticut followed by
an address by Mr. Shelton, who took
FOR his subject, Cuba and at 800
the Rev William G. Puddefoot spoke

USE AMERICAN COACHES.
large Conveyances for Travelling in
South Africa Made in the
United States.

The coaches used in South Africa are
built in the United States-at Concord.
Most of them hold IL people inside ia
rows of three, six people facing andsix
back to the mules, says Lippincott's
Magazine. By experience we learned
that the two corner seats back to the
mules are most agreeable. Luggage
on these journeys is consideration,
as it is charged for at the rate of a
shilling a pound, but each passenger
may take rug-Gr blanket" as they
are always called-and a small basket
of food. The great object is to get as
much food as possible into a small
space, for when we travelled we could
only be sure of two meals-one break
fast and one dinner-during the three
days and nights of continuous travel
ing.
We made inquiries about the OUT
side places, thinking they might be
preferable; but some felloW-passen-
gers, who were old hands at such
travelling, explained that I. when the
coach upset the outside passengers
were those to suffer; those inside come
off, as a rule, with few bruises, the
others getting broken arms and the
like; and this unbalanced our desire
for the open air. Not that'one suffer-
ed from want of air, for the coach has
no windows at all; glass would not
stand the jolting for an hour. There
is a tarpaulin that one may unroH and
pull down over the windows when
the rain comes in intolerably. The sun
one must bear, for if the tarpaulin is
down it is too insufferably hot.

LONGEVITY OF MoNARCHs.

+ 4 Ya s
If the risks of the trade of kingship
are considerable, as the late King
Humbert of Italy used to remark, the
increase of the average longevity of
monarchs during the past century is
also considerable. Apropos of the
death of the Belgian queen in her Goth
year, it is worth recalling that in year
1918 Europe possessed fifty-one SOW
ereigns of whom only eleven had
passed their Goth year. OF these. one
alone had reached the age of 20. In
1900, although. meanwhile, the number
of crowned heads had been reduced to
forty, the list of. sexagenarians was
nearly trebled There were at that
date twenty-nine sovereigns who had
attained go and over. OF these seven
had overstepped 20, five of them We're
80, and one, the present Pope Leo
All, was a London
Express.
