normally high wages, and all his en-
ployes receive liberal pensions in their
old age or in case of sickness. He
also provides literally for the widows
and children out of his private purse.
All these payments consume a large
proportion Of the profits, 80 that the
Emperors income from his estates is
comparatively small.
Practically speaking, the German
Emperor is thus obliged to live on his
royal income Of 100000 per annum,
which Is altogether insufficient for his
requirements. The Kaiser has no per-
sonal extravagances, but lives a sim
pie and strenuous life Of hard work
and little luxury. He spends little
money on his table, for the cuisine Of
the German imperial residence Is no
torious for Its inferiority.
The Kaiser is not dandy, and
spends a comparatively small amount
every year on his clothes. The horses
he rides are not Of particularly
good breed, and not unusually expen-
sive. He is not a gambler, and does
not indulge In other designations which
would be excusable in his position.
He Is, however, extravagant In one
respect, namely, in keeping up the
imperial magni6cence Of his court on
a scale never previously attempted by
n King Of Prussia. The support Of rel
atives forms a first charge on the
Kaiser's income. He has to provide
an annual allowance for his six sons,
and has to maintain a separate court
for several more distant relatives
Apart from his expenditure for pur-
poses of royal display, the Kaiser de-
votes a large sum every year to the
encouragement of art and Of tho
drama. He is continually ordering
monuments to be erected at his own
expense, and buys pictures for presen-
tation to public galleries.
The Kaiser maintains the Royal
Opera House, the Royal Theater in
Berlin, and the Royal Theater at
Wiesbaden at his own expense. All
three theaters are conducted only par
TALLY as proht-making concerns.
With all these financial burdens the
Kaiser is unable to make both ends
meet on his income, and has been
obliged to borrow money from some
Of his wealthy subjects

The German Emperor, with an an
nual income Of about four million dol
lars is a poor man, and has great DIFF
hculty in making both ends meet, de-
clares the London Express. He does
not receive farthing In his capacity
as German Emperor, but fulfils the
duties Of this honorary position free
Of charge to the federation of German
States. The Kaiser draws his income,
first, as King of Prussia; and, second,
as a private landowner.
His income as King of Prussia
amounts approximately to $4,OOO,0O0,
per annum. The Emperor of Russia
receives an annual allowance of ap-
proximately $5,OO0,OOO, and the Em-
peror of Austria an annual allowance
of more than 100000. Both these
monarchs receive additional allowances
for certain definite purposes, and both
Of them own vast landed estates far
superior In acreage to the German
Emperor's possessions.
The Sultan Of Turkey receives an
annual allowance Of $10,0OO,000, and
the King Of Italy draws over $3,0O0,-
900 per annum; while the incomes OF
several monarchs of smaller States are
nearly as large as that of the King
of Prussia.
The amount Of 100000 granted
annually to the German Emperor In
his capacity as King of Prussia is not
taken from the national exchequer, bur
from revenues from State dominions
which were formerly the private prop
erty Of the Prussian royal house. The
Crown lands were handed over to the
State, and in return the State pays a
fixed annual income to the monarch
The Kaiser owns eighty-three land
ed estates, comprising a total Of $50,
600 acres. He is the greatest land
owner in Germany, and his posses
sions far exceed those of the three
landowners whose estates rank mex
to his own in acreage. These are the
Prince Of Pless, who owns 125,OOC
acres; the Duke Of Ujest, who owns
100000; and the Duke Of Ratibor, who
owns 1900 acres. Some Of the lant
Of the Kaiser's estates is rented tc
farmers; but the Emperor carries OF
business on his own account In severa
parts Of the country.

Market for Stumps.

A new industry In the region at the
head Of the lakes is the gathering Of
the tree stumps for use In the Maine
shipyards. A large number Of wooden
ships are built every year. and 1t has
been found that the most efficient cor
ner braces are those made from these
stumps, and hundreds are shipped east
every day. The roots Of the trees and
a short section Of the stump are used
in making the braces, and stumps
from trees about foot in diameter
are found to be the best. The stump is
taken from the ground and roughly
hewn into shape before being shipped.
After It's receipt at the shipyards it
is made into a perfect brace. The cost
Of a carload Of the stumps is close to
$4OO, and the freight charges run over
500 a car.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

NORTH ARKANSAS CANDIDATE.

Ex-senator David L. King Of
Hardy, Sharp county, was a
Pocahontas visitor last Sunday
and Monday and informed his
friends here that he will positively
be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor at the
primaries III 1906. Senator King
is no stranger to the voters of
north Arkansas and especially to
the people Of this senatorial dis
trict, as ne represented us in the
upper house Of the general as
sembly two terms, and enjoys an
enviable reputation as a cam
paigner throughout the length
and breadth of the state, which
was brought about in a large
measure as the introducer of the
now famous King anti trust bill.
He is truly a self-made man and
has won his spurs by dint of ap-
plication and honesty Of purpose,
which he has brought to bear in
both the private and public walks
Of life. y
Senator King is a lawyer and
enjoys a large practice, both
civil and criminal, and the court
records will reveal the fact that
no man charged with crime,
whom he has defended, has ever
been convicted of a felony. His
record as private citizen and
public official is absolutely pure
and before the campaign is over
he will DO heard from us a man
of strength. .-Pocahontas Star.

Mrs. Lee Hamm, wife of w. b.

E. Landers, was born November
26th 1880. She joined the Mis-
sionary Baptist church October
1895, and was married to W. B.
Hamm April %, 1902, and died
March 81, 1905. She leaves
husband and baby; a number of
brothers and sisters and a host OF
friends to mourn her loss. Sister
Lee lived a humble, consecrated
christian life. She proved her
faith by her works.
Sister Lee lived life Of obedi-
ence to her God and her husband.
She was loved by all who knew
her and she died a triumph
death, not fearing the summons
Of the King Of Terrors, for she
had that hope as an anchor Of
the soul both sure and steadfast
and which entereth that within
the vale. On the first day of April
1905 large concourse of people
assembled at the Yeagcr grave
yard to pay their lastrespeGt to the
deceased sister, but she was not

Rogers announces that he does
not need and does not want any
assistance, and will pay no at
tention whatever to the gov
ernor's appointment. Having
settled two Of the cases out Of

pending for the settlement of
most of the others, he feels that
it is only an attempt on the part
of Gov. Davis to take from him

She was racked with pain and

absence of other jaws. No doubt
the Attorney General feels better
but he would get good return on
the investment if he would keep
