 The Kaiser and Our President.
 Indeed, the Emperor of Germany and President Roosevelt are much alike. They are of about the same age and of the same intense nervous organization. Roosevelt has an iron jaw; so has the posture to the air and sun; so is the Kai- ser. Our President has piercing eye; and so has the Emperor of Germany.
 Each man Is full of self-conadsnce. On mediately after the assassination of President Mckinley, MT. Roosevelt was asked If he was not afraid of the respon- sibility which that death had thrust upon was was, not. The selflconadencs of the German Emperor is notorious. He has frequently said that he believes himself divinely appointed and .s charged of taking the place that tb. nsd as mighty. The old Csar of Russia in speaking of this, sarcastfIally said: Der Gott weisst ailes, aber der Kaiser weisst aiss Sesssr or in othsr .Sa rs, words GUd E pcror knows everything little better" Of Simple Habits.
 Both MT. Roosevelt and the Kaiser are plain in many ways and extravagance in others. They both believe in physical development, both like plain meals and welt has a plain breakfast with his fam- | fly. the Kaiser eats with the Empress, and is satisfied with an egg, roll and a cup of tea.

 Both the President and the Emperor are good family men. They are good hus- i bands and good fathers.

One such relates to the crown prince. It happened years ago when he was much younger than he is now. He was drilling his little brothers, and when one of the boys did not keep step he marched up to him and wrung his ear The Kaiser saw this and objected. The boy replied: 'I am the crown prince bound to obey me-" Yes that is true said the Kaiser "As crown prince your brothers must obey you, but you must also remember that am the Kaiser, ana as such you have to obey me. order you not to do that again."
 The Kaiser and the Army.
 This comparison holds good as to mill. tary matters. Both the President. an6 Kaiser are fond of the army. Eithel would rather be combatted than rult
 
 both are proud of their association witt their soldiers. The Kaiser is alwayi courting his army. He takes pains tt get close to the men, and 1t is said tha he knows more than 10000 of his officers personally and can call them by name He spends a large part of his time at thu army parades and always attends th' manouvers. He wears the uniforms o the different regiments and has an ofh cial rank in many of them. He is neve prouder than when attending a review He understands everything connected with his soldiers from private to general He believes in the army, and wants t increase it at any expense and at an! cost.
 The Emperior's Big Income.
 I have said that the tastes of the Elm peror and our President compare also il | their extravaganza as well as in thei simplicity. Each could make a meal ol beer and cheese and like 1t, but each | fond of display, and at the proper tim makes a gI feat spread. This Is seen fl the remodeling of the White House am the gorgeous dinners at Washington, an' also in the splendid court functions o the Kaiser here in Berlin.
