KAISER DELIGHTED.
Expresses Pleasure at the Reception

rendered His Brother. .
Berlin, Feb. 27.-The details of the
movements of Prince Henry and the
courtesies shown him in the United
States continue to be followed here
with extraordinary interest and the
pleasure of Emperor William at the
reception rendered his brother has
been freely expressed by members OF
the royal household. In official circles
it is considered that the emperor has
personally accomplished by sending
Prince Henry to the United States
what it would have taken years to do
otherwise. An inspired statement has
been published by the German press.
It says:
"The highest political circles, are
immensely pleased at the excellent
course, up to the present time, OF
Prince Henry's visit. The conviction
is entertained that these festive days
will substantially contribute toward
rendering the relations of the two
countries permanently friendly, and
especial delight is expressed at the
cordiality of the personal intercourse
between President Roosevelt and
Prince Henry"

Mr.. E. p. Ineham's Romance.

Mr.. Ingham's book, an historical
romantic novel called "At the Point
of the Sword" is having a large sale
in this section. OF the book the
critics have some kind word to say
comes the report from city news
papers. We find it we'll written and
having in general pleasant feature
about the narrative. This tale pur-
ports to be translation from the
Dutch memoirs of Ernest Seur
D'Artveldt, who lived and loved
and fought in the dreadful days
when the Duke of Parma was ter
rorizing the Protestants of the Low
Countries, and when William the
Silent was the champion of the new
faith. 1t begins with the arrest OF
the parents of the hero and, taking
D'Artveldt through his boyhOod
days, puts him soon in the midst of
the wild whirl of things which made
up the exciting life of that time and
place. There is no lack OF incidents
many of which are strikingly novel
and tine interest and manner has
often freshness which is very
pleasing. The dramatic qualities
at the end of the story which are
more common in such novels are not
found i'm this tale. Mr.. Ingham in
his preface, disavows any response
bility for the opinions of his hero,
but considering the fact that the
better part of the story was probably
written under trying circumstances,
like the best work of Bunyan, Ger
vantes and Defoe, much that its
author has to say in regard to the
reflections of his hero will be of in
terest to those who believe him to
have been victim of circumstances
Here is one of the passages:-
Gwen when one is surrounded by the
hlackest night,when justice has been blind
and the gods appear deaf; when truth
seems vanquished, when friends disappear,
when hope itself takes flight from the
heart, there remains in the soul of the
philosopher an abiding faith in the final
justice of God. The world seems big,
but how little it is when compared to the
universe of the Almighty. This life some
times seems long, especially in the days
of care and suffering, but how short it is
compared to the eternity which awaits us.
How vain it is, then, to bewail misfortunes
heaped upon you by the wickedness OF
man. Rather rejoice is as school for
the soul. If you have been revied at
and treated unjustly, and still keep your
heart open to the needs of human kind,
rest assured that whatever the experience
may do for your prosecutors, for yourself
it can work but good

appreciation of the worth and help

for what he enabled our brother to
