TALES FROM ABROAD.

A Berlin dispatch says that Emperor
William has given orders TO stock his
game preserves near Potsdam and Ber-
lin with American quail as an expert
ment. The emperor is quoted as say
ing that he wants American quail be-
cause, like American citizens, they are
satisfied with their surroundings,
while German quail, like a great many
German citizens, emigrate every fall.
Rumor hath it William Of Germany
counseled Edward of England "to be
king" And Edward. it is further
whispered in London's polite society,
which is the oligarchy ruling the en-
pire, tried to obey the injunction. So

some of his more powerful subjects

him by Lord Salisbury and Joseph
Chamberlain that the clock would not
be put back in England.

he is an orator and possessor Of all
the arts Of the trained parliamentary
speaker. To VI. Deschanel, whom he
had beaten in his new Office, he said;

A Utrecht correspondent tells this
story Of the way ex-President Paul

at eight p. m, but gets up at one a. m,

in Pittsburg, and they told him she
had left her home to meet him in that
city.
Search for her was resumed in Pitts
burg, but no trace could be found, and
the man decided she had met with
some accident and was probably in a
morgue. He began search on that
idea. After two weeks hunt along
this line he discovered that instead Of
going to Pittsburg Miss Snyder had
gone to La Sale and had been married
to Rowe-happily, she says, in a letter
to one of her friends.
Bernard Friedman, of Pawnee, Okla,
has taken a wife home with him from
Milwaukee, and it remains yet to be
seen whether he was blind or not 1t
will be admitted that he went it blind,
but both he and his VIE assert their
happiness, and they are the judges in
the matter.
Friedman went to a department store
for his wife. He supposed he could pur-
chase anything there. Several sales
women amused themselves with him,
and presented him to all the marriage
able girls in the store. Friedman want
ed a Jewess, and Mrs. Carrie Lcher-
man, a widow, was offered as candi-
date.
Friedman's visits to the store became
frequent after meeting Mrs. Licher-
man, but the two kept their own eoun-
sells. After two weeks the saleswoman
resigned her position, and the first
thing the designing clerks knew they
heard of the marriage. The two have
gone back to Pawnee.

in landing two fine specimens Of that

spends much time picking berries on
the mountain, but says snake-catching
