his feet arranged before him
along the lines of least resistance.
At his elbow was 4 Keyboard that

fast rose before him.
It seemed an easy thing to do. He
had but to lift his finger.
A phonograph began calling off the
opening of the stock market. A piano
attachment gave out the strains OF the
latest opera. Three friends in distant
parts of the empire bade lin good
morning and communicated some piece
Of gossip in response to his inquiry.
He talked with the manager of his Of
fee, with his tailor, his airShip maker
and his architect.
With him it was indeed busy day.
Finally his head sank back. He was
overcome by the unusual exertion. He
looked worried.
His wife entered.

"Isn't everything all right?'
NO" replied the man of the future

I've simply got to have some one press
these buttons for me."-New York Life.

POISON OF THE RATHER.
Not Nearly as Dangerous as 1t Is
Popularity Supposed to Be.

There is good deal more fright
about the bite of a rattlesnake than
there is actual danger said well
B known physician recently. Il do not
mean TO say that the bite of a RATHER
! is not = very serious thing. but 1 do
mean 20 say that this particular sort
of snake is really not so ready or apt
to get in his bite as some others.
I'm the first place, there is the now
generally credited fact that the rat
tier is the most honest OF snakes. He
doesn't pick fight He doesn't lay
in wait for any one. He won't run
away. of course. for he is Il plucky rep
tile, but he will curl up and give you
fair warning from those rattleS of
his before he attempts TO strike. L re-
member once in the west finding rat
tier just ahead of my horses fore feet.
l had no weapon of any sort, so l
rode on, passing within 4 few inches
of the reptile. The snake was curled
and ready for my horse in case the an
imal side stepped, but as we did moth
ing of that sort we were allowed to
pass in peace.
Again, the truth is that the poison
of the RATHER does not get into the
wound inflicted by the fangs in the
average human being. For the aver
age human being nowadays is clothed.
and the holes in the fangs through
which the poison comes are rather far
up toward the roof of the mouth. Con-
sequently very often the point of the
fangs may enter the skin. while the
poison dribbles out harmlessly enough
upon the trousers or the boot. 1t is
then that the victim gets scared, fills
up on whisky-a bad thing in bona
fide cases of rattIesnake bite-and be-
lieves himself marvelously cured when
he wakes up next y."-Philadelphia

white lady had been seen The dpparI-
ton is supposed to mean that one OF the
HOhenzollerns is about to die, but not
necessarily the one on the throne.
The facts concerning the illness of the
kaiser. however, so closely resembled
those in regard to the death OF his IA
Their that the assurances OF the attend
ing physicians have not carried much
weight with the public. When Emperor
Frederick was operated on for what
was described as a benign growth Oh
the larynX the surgeons stated that he
would be perfectly well in few weeks
AS matter of fact. he was Il sick man
when he came to the throne. and he
only reigned three months He died
from malignant cancer. which is
known to be hereditary in the Hohen-
Zollern family.
The father. mother and grandmother
Of the present kaiser have died from
malignant cancer. and his aunt, the
Grand Duchess of Baden. is now suf-
fering from the same ailment. There is
no royal family in Europe in which
hereditary malignant cancer is more
strongly marked than in that of the
HOhenZollerns. 1t is possible that dur
ing the intervening time surgical sci
ence and bacteriOlogy have made such
advances as TO arrest the progress of
the disease. But now that the white
lady has been seen it IS believed that
the general opinion will prevail that the
kaiser cannot live for any great length
OF time.
The white lady has never appeared
without some death shortly ensuing
among the HohenZollernS. This APP
partition is the most famous ghost of
any family in the world. The white
lady is likely to appear in any one of
the castles or palaces belonging to the
imperial family. Twice she has been
heard to speak In December, 1928,
the white lady appeared in the palace
ut Berlin and said in Latin, Il wait for
judgment" Once at the castle of Neu-
haus, in Bohemia, the white lady ap-
peared and said to HohenZollern
princess, 1T is 10 O'clock" Within
two weeks the princess thus addressed
was dead.
Two explanations have been given
as to the origin of the white lady. One
is that it is the ghost of the Countess
Agnes of Ornalunde and the other that
she is the Princess Bertha Won Rosen-
berg, who lived in the fifteenth century
The Countess of Ormalunde had been
buried alive in Il vault of the imperial
palace. She was mistress OF the
margrave of Brandenburg. by whom
she had two SONS. When the prince
became widOwer the countess thought
lie would marry her. but he made the
sons an objection. whereupon she
poisoned them. and for this crime she
was buried alive
