KAISER AND THE CHEMIST.
Amusing Incident of Recent Army
 Maneuvers in Germany,

Amusing Incident Of Recent Army
 Maneuvers in Germany,
 During the maneuvers the Kaiser rose one morning at daybreak, in or- der to get a general impression of the disposition of his troops. So, in his au- tomobile, followed by his entire staff in automobiles, he made for distant hill that commanded an extensive view, There was a village on the hill, and the clattering of the cars on the cobbles brought most of the inhab- itants to their windows.
 The one person who slept through the din was q deaf old chemist. whose flat-roofed residence was perched right on the summit. The roof was the very place for the Kaiser. So he called a halt, and one of his staff was sent to claim admission. The officer knocked and knocked. but in vain. At the third onslaught, however. steps were heard descending the stairs, and the voice of the old chemist demanded: What sil- ly fool is that?" The staff contained its laughter, for thel Kaiser had heard; but without showing any sign of an noyance, his majesty uttered one word, Wilhelm" Wilhelm who?'' demanded the chemist Wilhelm von Hohenzollern!' he thundered.
 The shivering chemist, covered with confusion, flung open the door, doubt less expecting the German equivalent to Siberia, but the Emperor strode past him, without even giving him a look When he was leaving, however, he called the man to him, placed in his hand the largest coin which bears the imperial likeness. There" he said Accept this portrait of a silly fool''- Fritz Morris, in an Norden's,

WHY HE NEyER MARRTED

A matinee girl from Chicago looked up from a long and painful study of one of Clyde Fitch's autographed sen- timents into that authors face.
 MT, Fitch she began mourUsJ ly, T know why you have not married"
 "Tell me I would like to know"
 Certainly. It must have happened this way: You wrote proposal of marriage to beautiful leading wo- man in one of your companies. You should have proposed in person. But you wrote. She couldn't read your writing and thought it was a dismissal from the company. She drowned her. self and you are still unmarried"

AN ODD PLACE OF WORSHIP.

Burma can show the oldest place of worship to be found anywhere in the world. Some miles out of Moulmein, in the middle of a great plain, stands a lone rock so peculiar in form as never to be forgotten after once seen. Ages ago the caves which honeycomb this fortress were transformed from the habitats of bats and wild animals into places of devotion. Thousands of images of Buddha are carved on the walls, and in every chamber bronze, stone or wooden gods are standing, sit ting or reclining in endless silence. It is computed that may millions of feet have pressed the earthen floors of these sacred caverns.-Boston Transcript.

sHF KNEW THE FORMULA.

A stranger approached a little girl who was somewhat accustomed to in- terviews with usual question, What's your name, little girl ?"
 The little girl. without looking up from her sand-pile, replied: My name is Edith, and I'm four She's my little sister; her names Mildred and she's two. I don't want to go with you and be your little girl, and I know you can't steal my Uttls sistass- ''-7-=I =Iassaas>r' Weekly.

COIN FROM THE SEA.

The erosion of the sea at colachel' in South Travancore, has caused very old and curious gold, silver and copper coins with beautiful inscriptions and engravings to be unearthed in large quantities. People from different places are pouring in to purchase them. The coins are supposed to have come from remote places owing to some volcanic emlption or earthquake in far-ffo plaees.-Madras Pioneer.

Mexico. It was brought to the latter country by the Spaniards soon after the days of the conquest by Cortez. It spread northward to the Rio Grande valley, where it was grown by the Mexicans in irrigated lands two or three centuries ago, From Mexico the plant spread southward also and was grown in Central and South America.

. OURSELVES IND MEXICO.

The day of the professional revolu- tionists, of the bandits and the bush whackers, has long since gone by in Mexico. The intelligent people of the country understand the value and ne cessity of peace and are ardent in the desire for it, and that country has the happy fortune of being ruled by a man of Intelligence. That is one of the fine blessing President Dia2 has bestowed upon it. He truckles neither to the mob, to the demagogue, nor to the ig- norant politician. He advises with the wise men of the nation and pursues the policy he honestly believes to be best for the welfare of Mexico, without reference to popular clamor or to the yelping yellow journals.
 In many ways Mexico is infinitely a better place to live in than the United States. Thereis to-day certainly no bet ter governed country in the world
 Another illustration of President Diaz's policy of selecting able men to assit him may be seen if one takes the pains to scan the list of represent ative men whom he has sent to Wash ington in diplomatic capacity.
 In the last 20 years we have had accredited to this government such men of force, character, intelligence, and probity as Romero, Aspiroz, Casa sus, and Creel, all persons of distin- guished achievement and of tho h ghesl standing in their own country; men truly representative of what is best and greatest in Mexican life and civil ization, men selected with rare and fine discrimination not always en1- ployed in the past by the appointing power in this country in making choice of our official representatives in Mexi- co.--TIarper's Weekly.

Perhaps temptation to be untrue to himself was never presented to g President in more lnsidlous form or one disguised more successfully as a prompting of patriotic duty. That MT Roosevelt is a big enough man to be superior to that temptation adds an- other to many instances in which he has justified the confidence of those whose confidence in him has been steadfast, Free Press.

AN IMP OR TAN I
CASE IN j. s.
COURT
Trial of e. L. Vickers on
Charge of Conspiracy
to Defraud

An important trial commenced in
the United States court yesterday
morning, when E. L. Vickers, a promi
nent naval stores operator, was ar
raigned upon the charge of attempting
a conspiracy for the purpose of de
frauding the government of large
tracts of land in Washington county.
Although the entire day was con
sumed in the hearing of this case the
government witnesses had only con
cluded last night, when adjournment
was taken until this morning, and i;
is possible that all of to-day will be
consumed in hearing witnesses for the
defense.
/. 1t is the contention of the govern
ment that Vickers while a. resident OF
Georgia. attempted to bring about 100
Families of negroes from Georgia 70
Washington county, BIa-, and Aolohize
them upon government land, each fam
lily making application for certain
tracts of land under the homestead
laws of the United States. II is also
alleged by the government that, the
fees were paid by the defendant.
Mr. Vickers has retained prominent
counsel to defend him in the proceed
ings, and the case is being stubbornly
contested by both the prosecution and
defense
