kaiser's Working Day.

The superhuman activity Of the
kaiser is well known. He looks after
the music, the painting, the literature
and the morals of Germany; but that
is only his diversion, for above all
that he is the German emperor. AS
kaiser his work falls under three
heads-foreign affairs, home affairs
and the army and navy. The depart
mert which gives him the most work
is that for foreign affairs, for last
year he read 1867 dispatches from
abroad and 3i1 kilograms, and gave a
personal decision in 91S cases. He
never signs any dispatch without read
ing it and generally blue pencils his
remarks in the margin. In this way
many a state paper has been rendered
useless, and it is calculated that since
the beginning of his reign he has
signed at least $1,000 documents. He
also has a great number of verbal re-
ports made to him, and il is probably
this overwork that renders him so
nervous on occasions, and leads him
TO speak out things that he had bet
ter have confined to his thoughts or
to his confidential spondence.-

NEWS FOR The WEEKLY.
Give the Readers what They Like Mos.
TO Talk About.

In defining. or. rather. determining
what is news for country town the
personality of the news gatherer must
be LOST, said W. II. Prewitt, OF the
Onawa Uowa) Gazette. ar the meeting
OF the Corn Belt editors at sheldon. lie
or she must learn 10 bury self" Your
readers and the public are entitled 10
be given any news that concerns alike
both your personal friends and your
bitterest enemies. However. country
editors seldom have enemies. But.
speaking seriously, no editor should
have friends or enemies when defining
what is news in country town. II is
a fact that usually the fellow with
whom you like TO converse is the one
who will talk about the subjects which
most interest you. This same thing
applies more forcibly in the editing OF
country newspaper.
If you would please the greatest
number your opportunity to claim their
attention through your columns and
TO make them know they are getting
their moneys worth when they are in.
duced to come around once a year and
pay their dues is TO find ont what they
want TO talk about and give ii To them
rs news. Because your contemporary
down the street captured an item last
week which you failed 10 connect with
is no reason why you should not recog'
niZe it as such in your next issue. OF
course this refers to real news items
which every man with nose for news
will recognize. What is sometimes not
news is news. There are some happen.
ings which everybody knows before
your paper is issued. or ut least il
would seem that everybody was famil-
lar with the matter. Yet every one OF
these people will look your columns
through TO see in what language you
tell the story, if for no other reason
than To disagree with your version.
There is Il wonderful advantage in
the determining what is news by the
acquaintance YOU have over your ter
rtory. The editor of a country weekly
should be the best informed man in his
locality OH the geography of his county.
He should know, as far as possible,
every road. every school house and
every country church in the county and
extend his acquaintance 10 the widest
extent possible with its inhabitants.
Then when threads Of news. which
happens nearly every week, come float
ing to you. you will be the better pre-
pared TO get at the required facts. In
the handling of news from distant To-
calities and from other towns one must
depend very largely-in fact. almost
wholly-upon his correspondents. If he
has no knowledge of his people and
their environments.

One on Bragg,

Some years ago in Alabama one ol
the most talented lawyers practising IN
the South was the late Colonel Bragg.
but he had a peppery temper.
Not only did Colonel Bragg's dis
position involve him from time TO time
in serious differences with his col
leagues, but it also led him TO break
off amicable relations with Judge
Robinson. most estimable jurist, who,
while presiding over a suit in which
Bragg was Interested, had by his de-
csion incurred the resentment of the
advocate So. for a long time the Col.
onel declined even TO speak to the
Judge. save when it was absolutely
necessary in the course OF business.
Finally. however, his better nature
getting the upper hand, Colonel Bragg
determined TO apologize TO Judge Rob
inson and endeavor TO effect a renewal
of theirdormer comparatively pleasant
relations. Meeting the Judge one af-
ternoon on the steps OF the State House
he impulsively thrust out his hand and
said:
See here. Judge, let's be friends
again. This thing has gone on long
enough"
"Why-er, Bragg" asked the Judge
in the meekest and mildest way i'm
aginable. whats the matter?"
Simply this, Judge" continued the
fiery Bragg, II admire you so i'm
mensely that I cannot for my life be
content to remain on bad terms any
longer. / felt that l must speak to

"Why-er, Bragg" piped the Judge
in the thinnest of voices, a well-feigned
look of astonishment on his face. why
--er, Bragg, haven't you been speaking
TO me?"

staying Of the woman was deliberate,
and that 90 far from her fighting a,

woman had.locked herself and attack

being fired was corroborated by thoss
who were near at the time of the
shooting. but It seems that Antoine
first killed his wife and then deliber-

bullets from these were found in the
