The following story Of Kaiser Will
liam II. and one of his generals Is told
by a biographer Of the German emper-
or:
At a review In Berlin the kaiser i'm
patiently reprimanded old General Won
Meerscheldt for losing his wits at a
critical moment.
IF your majesty thinks am getting
too old, beg of you to allow me to re-
sign"
mo, no." replied the emperor. "You
are too young to resign. Indeed If
your blood didn't course through your
veins quite so fast you would be a
more useful army leader"
On the evening Of that day the kaiser
and the general met at a court ball.
The general was talking to some young
ladies.
"Ah, Meerscheldt," cried the emper-
or, that Is right. Get ready to marry.
Take a young wife, then that excit-
able temperament Of yours will soon
vanish"
The general bowed low as he re-
torted:
81 beg to be excused, your majesty.
A young emperor and q young wife
would be more than I could possibly
stand"

Why the Raarn Eonrht.


@. M. Russell, the western painter,
tells an amusing story Of bear fight
which he thinks Is funnier than any
humorous sketch he has ever seen Dor
trayed on a vaudeville stage. He had
been out with a guide all day, and to-
ward evening they saw far down. the
road two bears sauntering along quite
oblivious Of the presence Of human be-
ings, as the wind was In the wrong d.
rectiOn. Russell and his guide quickly
jumped behind a small thlcket, and
when the bears were within shooting
distance the painter let fly and struck
one Of them fair In the side. The shot
stunned the animal for q moment, and
he was under the impression that his
mate had struck him a terrific blow
when he was not looking. AS there
appeared to be no reason for this chas-
tisement, he proceeded to retaliate by
attacking the other bear. About this
time the guide took shot at the as
saulted animal, with the result that
the brute was Infatuated and imagined
he had been struck with undue force
by his comrade. Upon this the two
bears set to and had terrific fight

ORIGIN OF PIXIES PEAK.

Indian Legend of the Formation of
This Famous Mountain.
The quaint Indian legend Of the for
nation of Pixies peak is as follows:
"At the beginning Of all things the
lesser spirits possessed the earth and
dwelt near the banks of the great
liver. They had created a race of men
to be their servants, but these men
were far superior to the present in
habitants Of the earth and made end
less trouble for their creators. There
fore the lesser spirits resolved to de-
stroy mankind and the earth itself, so
they caused the great river to rise I'M
til 1t burst its banks and overwhelmed
everything. They themselves took each
q large portion of the best Of the earth
that they might create a new world
and a quantity Of maize, which had
been their particular food, and return
ed to heaven. Arriving at the gate Of
heaven, which is at the end of the
plains, where the sky and mountains
meet, they were told that they could
not bring such burdens of earth into
heaven. Accordingly they dropped
LuCu d4A LuGA dAu LuOIOs AACSC AAAAAhB
masses made a great heap on the top
Of the world which extended far
above the waters, and this is the origin
Of Pixies peak, which is thus shown to
be directly under the gate Of heaven.
ct was formerly twice as high as now,
but lost its summit, as is told in an
other legend.)
1.-THE rock masses upon it and all
about show that they have been
dropped from the sky. The variety
and extent Of the mineral wealth in
the region prove that the earth's choic-
est materials are deposited there. And
still as the consultations move across
the heavens and vanish above the
mountain SUBMITS we may see the
spirits rise from the great river and
pass to the gate Of heaven. The fall
Ing stars are their falling burdens or
the dropping grains Of maize"

having eight wives was awakened by
a fellow prisoner, who hoarsely whis-
pered: ''-
"Come on, sport. We've got some
false keys and unlocked the cell doors,
and we're all going to escape"
Look here" said the octagamist des-
perately, "unless you promise me that
when you all get out of the Jail you
will lock the doors carefully again I'll
raise a racket and expose your prof.
ect"

arate me from my eight wives?"

Vereschagln'sW War Pictures.


An art critic says of Vereschagin's
war pictures: 1.-The greater number Of
the artists pictures were extremely
poor as art, many Of them rising not
above peep show value, and not few
are utterly insincere. Vereschagin de-
clared publicly that the chief value Of
his pictures was their faithfulness to
scenes witnessed by himself, yet he de-
picted in Blowing From Guns In Brit
ish India respectable Mohammedans
being slaughtered by British soldiers in
uniforms Of today, though nothing Of
the kind has occurred since the mu-
tiny. He showed the Entry of the
Prince of Wales into an Indian city
in the blazing sunlight, though the Of
fetal artist who accompanied the king
says that through a delay the entry
was accomplished by night. The paint
err himself admitted to me that the pic
ture of the British soldier left to die
and tester alone in the jungle original
ly represented q Russian soldier, but
was altered on account Of the anger Of
the late car"

II You Do Not Possess 1t, Strive to

I want it recognized that tact should
be taught continuously, seriously, thor
oughly; that it should be placed in the
forefront of education and take its
natural first place side by side with the
catechism, writes Frank Dandy in
Black and White.
A friend of mine recently suffering
under a great bereavement was In the
receipt of innumerable letters and tele-
grams from friends, acquaintances and
the general public. Out of the LAO Of
such communications two only hit the
right note. Among pages of sentiment
al and religious commonplace two mes
sages alone touched the heart.
HE was a man loved. am with
you in your grief" was one.
The other ran: you have lost your
best pal. He was mine too. God help
us both"
Both of them epitomized the senders
men with great hearts. But the ac-
QUESTION of tact by some Of the other
sympathizers would have supplied Its
place.

In the Teiyei era (along about the
middle Of the thirteenth century, a
Japanese statesman brought the laws
in touch with the people by establish
ing a council Of state, with twelve
judges, the same as our jury. Before
these twelve all litigation was brought
for investigation and decision. The
plaintiff and defendant had their
spokesman, who argued and defended
the case, and afterward the twelve re-
tired into closed chamber, where the
following oath was administered:
During the elaboration of a case,
and the decision afterward between
right and wrong, neither family con.
nection nor sympathy with, nor antip-
athy against. the party shall influence.
Fear not powerful family or favor

Hyomei.
It is claimed for this remedy that
it stops the spasrnodic paroxysms, the
sneezing, the smarting, and running
of the eyes and nose, and other acute
symptoms of this disease.
Many persons have been cured of
hay fever by Hoymei, and the discov-
erer of the remedy processes to be able
to prevent both the occur renee of the
annual attack and to stop the progress
of the disease, even in the most
chronic forms. Anders Jacobsen Of
fers to refund the money if Hyomei
does not do all that is claimed for it,
is the strongest proof that can be CIV
en- as to the confidence he has in Hy-
omei's power to cure hay fever. The
complete outfit costs but 81. 90, ex-

has the credit OF introducing the potato
to Europe. but the Spaniards had
brought 1t with the tomato from the
Andes some time before, and It was es-

called 1t tartufoli, long before Sir Wal

meat shop or a grocer who sells cheese
