Kaiser Races a Train.

The Kaisers recent journey from
Hanover to Hamburg, a distance of
about 120 miles, was accomplished in
about three and half hours
Owing to the rain, the Emperor had
intended to travel in the royal train,
but the weather becoming fine he ex-
pressed his intention of making the
journey by motor car in order to enjoy
the beauties Of the Luneburger Heath,
across which he would have to pass
In the forest the royal train. which
had left Hanover shortly after the
Kaiser, came in sight.
His majesty Immediately gave or
ders to his chauffeur to quicken speed,
and the motor, a Mercedes car, dashed
forward at the rate of about sixty
miles an hour.
His majesty enjoyed the sensation
immensely, and was anxious to race
the royal train. He had long express
ed desire to see such race, and nal
maintained that on straight road the
automobile would win. The race was
entered upon with great zest, but ow-
ing to the curving of the road had TO
be abandoned
Near Celle the royal car met with
an accident. A loud report was
heard, the automobile staggered turn
ed, tilted sideways, and almost pitch
ed into the ditch. One of the tires had

For some time the main topic of con-
versation among New Workers and
Londoners who are thigh up'' in social
life, and among many who are not, but
who would give a great deal to be,
has been the reign of Mrs. John Jacob
Astor in London. In a single season
this beautiful American has achieved
what some of the best-born women in
England have never done-the priv
1lege Of entertaining his majesty the
King. She has all that can be desired
in the social world there is nothing
more to be had there are no more
worlds to conquer!
In the draw1ng-rooms of London the
name Of Mrs. Astor has been on every
done in one season what Mrs. Astor
has done They have become we'll
known, popular and have even
achieved the acme Of success, but it
has taken years where it took Mrs.
Astor weeks.
y
women in society who possess the
beauty Of Mrs. John Jacob Astor She
is tall and willowy, with masses of
soft, curling hair slightly tinged with
gray Her chief loneliness lies in her
eyes, which are large and literally
glowing with a clear, soft radiance
They attract great attention wherever
she goes and give her a singularIy
naive, artless look. Mrs. -Astor's gowns
are part of her attraction, as she has
made them a study, and some Of her
creations are maryels of beauty and
richness. The King was heard to re-
mark after having met Mrs. Astor at
a gathering of social lights, "She is the
best advertisement Worth ever hadr,
She seldom wears gown more than
twice. Her costumes all come from
gay Paris" and are of two distinct
styles. In the daytime she is stately
and decidedly "clean cut" in the Eng
lish style of tailor made, but at night
she is radiant vision of beauty in
soft, clinging. sweeping frocks and
wits her hair falling in loose waves
about her face She possesses sets of
jewels TO suit each costume which she
wears, whether intended for day or
evening. 1t is said that Live and let
live is Mrs. Astor's motto, which sen
timent ought not to be unusual for
woman whose husband is one of the
worlds wealthiest men.

The elation that Is shown by the
women Of America over Judge SLOW
er's pocket decision is highly credita-
BILE to the sex because it Is completely
detached from any selfish interest.
What has been established is a princl-
pie, the indefensible right Of the wife
as an equal partner to help herself to
anything that the pockets Of the hus-
band may contain. The exercise of
the right is another matter, and the in
ducements thereto are about as tempt
ing as the inventory in those youthful
compositions on "a Schoolgirls Pock-
et' and "a Schoolboy's Pocket" If
memory serves the schoolboy's pocket
is likely to hold top string, a rusty
nail, marbles, an apple core, and per-
haps, If the boy lives in the country,
a live toad or a garter snake These
are not cash or convertible securities,
but they average up fairly well with
the possessions Of the boys father.
The mans riches consist Of wooden
toothpicks, unreceipted bills, unused
street railway transfers, crumpled pa
pers Of divers sorts that should have
been thrown away week before last, a
bunch Of keys, a handkerchief, lean
pocketbook and a little loose change.
The pockets are a dozen mysteries to
the man himself and as bad as a gar
ret for the accumulation Of rubbish.
If anything that Is really valuable gets
into them, like a railroad ticket, for
example, we have the common specta-
Gle Of frenZied search with the hands
diving hither and thither and the face
expressing the intelligence of a bewil-
dered calf. There is thus a pocket
problem which is not directly touched
upon in the opinion of the court. It
is Of such grave Importance that a
ruling restricting the permissible num-
Der Of pockets to three by some learn
ed judge might be considered a boon
to mankind. But in default Of q iu-
d1cial decree there Is nothing so help
full as the ministrations Of a faithful
wife who will clear away the rub
b1sh. Whether she does this while
the husband is sleeping or waking
makes no difference If she will only de-
stroy the loot, that is, the common
property.

is at least a doubt Of the proper sup
port offered Hull by Cass and other
staff officers. In Detroit the historian,
G. M. Burton, has discovered in old
family papers evidences Of a discon-
tent among the staff officers under
Hull
After Hull was put in the back
ground Cass, who was an obscure cap
tain of militia, from Marietta, Ohio,
was made governor of the great north
west territory, position which he
held with honor for eighteen years.
He then entered Jackson's cabinet,
ran for President, and was almost
elected, was minister to France, Unit
ed States Senator, became great land
owner, and died in 1866.

rich-ouick schemes for bait know how
and when and where to fish for their
favorfte suckers. The time of prosper
ity is the best time to go fishing for
the credulous investor. It is at this
time that men, if ever, have a sur
plus. Ninety-nine men out Of a hun
dred do not know how to wisely in
vest a surplus. The benevolently In
clined fisher is at hand to offer his
highly colored flies. The sucker passes
up the legitimate enterprise. He is
lured by the humbug bait which prom
ises him large returns. To-day almost
the entire force of postoff1ce inspectors
and secret service men Is busy ferret
ing out fimsy schemes and enforcing
fraud orders. Government agents are
constantly excluding get-rich-qu1ck
concerns from the mails. The sucker
fisherman does not stay long in one
place. If the suckers nibble he per-
mits them to swallow bait, hook, bob,
line and sinker; and then, wise fisher
man, he goes to another place, splits on
his bait and tries his luck again.
Warn the sucker of his fate? You
would as we'll try to admonish pig.
When the biting season is on 1T is bis
instinct to nibble "a fool and his
money are soon parted" And the cyn1c
will insist that the only way to make
wise man out of fool is to part him
from his money.

The cynical Labouchere, writing in
London Truth, aserts that "the Ameri-
cans, in spite of their reputed shrewd-
ness, are the most easily gulled Of any
people on earth by those who know
how to get at them" Is this merely a
railing accusation without foundation
or has 1t a modicum of truth? Verify,
there have been times when it seemed
that certain elements IN our population
were easily shared. Get-rich-quick
schemes promising 100 per cent profit
every year have found no lack of
patrons. But this is only vulgar
finance. 1t is in the realm of high
finance and promoting that the lambs
are shorn with neatness and dispatch.
