The Kaiser and Art,

The Kaisers latest role Is that OF
champion of the PAINTERS whose pic
lures have been rejected by the man
agement of the annual German art ex-
hibition. Out of 3.Ovv pictures offered
only 600 have been accepted. and 1t is
alleged that the selections are due to
favoritism and improper influences. 1t
is stated that the modern impression
ist school is favored at the expense Of
the other styles.
The painters of the 2.4O0 rejected
pictures laid their grievances before
the Emperor. and 1t appears that their
protest has been successful. A high
official in the Ministry of Education.
Privy Councillor Mueller. who is chiefly
responsible for the management of the
art exhibition. has quilted his post. 1t
is understood the change is due d.
rectly to the Emperor's initiative. 1t
is probable that next year the EN-
peror intends to participate personally
in the selection of pictures, when the
impressionists, whom he abhors, will
secure less prominence.

men made their way over a spolc OF
broken rock. They crossed grass plots
and snow banks and xis.zagsed over
snowncids. finally they came TO tho
gully at the head OF which stands tho
peak. Scaling this. they were con.

feet and then reached the summit.
Tho top Of the peak Is about ten by
twelve feet square. formed OF slabs of
rocks set nearly on edge. accessible
ON only one side.
After inspecting the different routes
which had been tried In vain attempts
to reach the top and which could be
examined with clcarncss from tho
peak. and after viewing tho splendid
scene laid out before them. the two
climbers made their way back to their
camp on the mountain side. where
they spent the night.
On the following day they began tho
descent. They had still 1000 feet to
descend. but the snow was good. Tho
feat they accomplished Is regarded as
one OF the most difiicult which has
been attempted successfully In tho
history OF mountain climbing.

College women may not marry. but
you can usually trust all the female
idiots to get two husbands apiece.
Much of a mans success In life de-
pends on the degree OF loyalty he is
capable of inspiring.
II modern male writer's would study
Shakespeare more they would know
more about women.
First love is ardent, but undiscrimi-
mating. 1t is merely matter OF pro-
pinquity. Almost anybody will do.
II is wonderful how much the repu-
tation OF some men depends on what
other people think they know.
The "nagging woman" and the out
door woman" do not trot in the same
class.
No self.respecting woman ought to
want to be White Mans Burden.
The woman with history may not
have loved and lost She may have
got him.
II man has a broader sense of JUS
tice than woman, as he likes to claim.
it is because he has always been out
