Very few have ever seen the kaiser
on foot, except on his yacht, the
Hohenzollern. He always drives or
rides. The reason for this would be
more apparent than it is were 1t not
that he wears very thick-soled boots
His reaf heights is FIVE feet five
inches, so he is thus among Europe's
shortest monarchs. But that is not
the only reason why he appears SO
seldom on foot. He is partially para
lyzed down his left side, and his leff
arm is almost useless. That is why
in all his photographs his left arm
appears limp.

DRINKS POISON
WOMAN SWALLOWS sTRYcHNINE
WHILE OUT WITH HUSBAND.
UNACCouNTABLE TRAGEDY
Mrs. Michael Collins Reels and Falls
on Street Of Ouray, and Never
Reuains Consciousness.

Ouray, Colo.-While walking along
the main street with her husband, and
unknown to him, Mrs. Michael Collins.
a well known young woman and prom
inent church worker, swallowed
quantity ct strychnine, dying few
hours latei at the home of friend.
She walked nearly a block after TAX
ing the drug, it is said. and then fell
in faint. The cause of her act is not
known.
Doctor Rowan, who attended the wo-
man, has signed the death certificate,
End it is probable that no inquest will
be held. Although several persons
have reported that they saw the wo-
man take the poison, the coroner is
investigating that she had been TAX
ing medicine containing strychnine
and that an overdose caused death.
The husband is grief-stricken and
unable to account for the action of his
wife. He says their life was always
happy, cut numerous rumors are in
circulation to the effect that they had
quarreled. Considerable mystery sur
rounds the case inasmuch as the Off
cials have been unable as yet to find
the bottle which contained the drug,
or discover where it was purchased.
Mrs. Collins made no statement fur
ther than to say that she had swal-
lowed poison. 1t was on Seventh ave-
nue. where the drug was supposed to
have been taken, and on reaching Sec
ond street the woman complained,
reeled ami fell - the sidewalk. Sup
posing that she had merely tainted,
Collins ran to- the home of Peter
Schneider, where the woman's mother
was at the time. and summoned help.
With the assistance of Schneider,
Mrs. Collins was carried to the house
and the doctor called. He applied
stimulan.s and recovering conscious
ness for Z moment. she said, Il took
strychninc," gasped, and died.
Mrs. Collins was the daughter of
Mrs. Louis Hohl. and was born in
Ouray. Her foster father was Tor
years in the grocery business in this
city, but recently sold out and is now
living on ranch in the north end of
the county. The family is among the

WILLING TO LET HIM DIE.
stinsirg Message Sent by Farmer
Worsted in Business Deal.

In the old colony town of Scituate,
Mass, once lived Deacon j., who
had yoke of oxen he desired to
sell. The news reached the ears of
Farmer T, who lived in another
portion of the town, who was in want
of pair. So he visited the deacon,
who met him with gracious smile
and led him to the oxen, which were
chewing their cuds and to all appear
ances ready for any amount of toll.
After some bargaining a difference
of five dollars remained. Finally the
deacon said: Il am old and feeble,
and shall not live long, and five dol
lars will be of no account" so the
bargain was made. Farmer T. took
the oxen me.
They proved worthless, could rot
work, and had been heated He felt
provoked at being sold, and, seeing
person the next day who was going

deacon lived said: You tell Deacon

ROCKEFELLER GIVES $3.50 1000, 900
Charity and Education Comes in for
Princeiy Donations.

New York.-John D. Rockefeller, ac-
cording to reliable authority, proposes
soon to make pfincely gift to New
York City. 1t will amount to at least
$50,O00.000. 1t will be partly chari-
table and partly educational.
The Herald. quoting a man well in
formed says:
This man said that when Mr. Rock
efeller was comforting with his son at
Lakewood, New Jersey, fortnight
ago, the meeting was not for tht pur-
pose of discussing any immediate gift,
but was on the subject of Mr.. Rookie
feller's will. which document the oil
king was then completing, with the aid
of his son and his lawyers.
ut was said that this document will
astonish the world when it is made
public. It will, II is declared, give 40
less than s250.000.000 fer charitable
and educational purposes, and it will
be so bestowed that the benefit there
from will almost be perpetual
The manner In which these be-
quests will be bestowed is said to be
mainly educational and charitable.
While there are some contributions for
religious purposes, it is stated that Mr..
Rockefeller does not think 1t necessary
to extend any great financial aid to
churches. He thinks the churches are
growing steadily stronger and that
there is no danger that they will ever
need any great financial assistance
from one man.
Mr. Rockefeller. however, is said to
Je much in favor of the growth of edu-
cation, and to the furtherance of this
end he has done much in his will He
believes that education will make this
country the greatest in the world. and
that every cent contributed toward
that object will help to make better
citizens and better Christians.
''As to the charitable aequests. 1t
was said some time ago that Mr. Rock
efeller had in mind building model ten
er1ents for the purpose Of such as have
been erected In some European cities.
'In his will. the Herald,s informant
states, Mr.. Rockefeller has provided
these three things-bequests for relis-
ious purposes. though not of large
sums; liberal bequests for education,
and what are described as pr!ncely be-
quests for charitable purposes. 1t is
said that there is scarcely man,
woman or child that will not benefit in
some way by these prospective dona-
tions."
