he so often has honored. ii
Once more 1t is the late Iron Cham

his death has not ceased to disturb the ,
kasel'S peace of mind.
The city council of Bremen has de-
cided to erect statue Of Prince Bis
marck on horseback on the north side
of the old cathedral of Bremen.
Hitherto it has been unWritten law
in Germany that only members of the
royal and imperial families were to be
honored by statues on horseback. and
even the statues OF such famous sener- -
ais Ziethen and Butcher show them
standing, and the kaiser considers this
breach of tradition nothing less than
case of lese majestic though it cannot
be punished as such
To make matters worse. the kaiser.

centuries old Rhine Wine which is KEEP,

has stopped in Bremen without empty

will have to pass the statue of Bis
marck to enter the rnthskeli@r.
But he can do nothing TO prevent
the erection of the statue. which has
just been finished by the well-known
sculptor, Adolph Hildebrnnd. ana which
is to be unveiled in the near future.
Tho Cars Ambitions.
Car Nicholas. OF Russia, who is
thinking seriously of granting con-
stitution to the country as soon as the |
war is over. has declared that in the |
| future he does not want to be watched |
and guarded wherever he goes by Sc
cret service men and has adopted his !
old habit Of walking and riding without |
any escort whatever through the |

He could hardly believe his own ears
when the man answered:

Having heard his story the car cor

that he would have his case looked
into.
Arrived at the palace the car inn

past Of the convict.
1t was then found that the man had
been sent to Siberia for Il crime which
he had never committed and that he
had bought q passport from high
prison official which had enabled him to
escape and return to St. Petersburg.
Here he succeeded in getting days
work in the park at Czarstoe Zeo.
where he soon won the good will of the
superintendent and was given steady
salaried position as overseer of the con-
servatOries.
