The F1untsrnan Kaiser.

Among the many trials that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has had to bear is the
accusation that he resembles the En-
peror of Germany. The fondness OF
both for hunting has been pointed out
as an example of the "Reminiscences OF
the President and the Kaiser. Stats
tics have recently been published
which cast light upon the hunting
achievements of William H. They
make Theodore RCosevelt's occasional
excursions in search of well-deseryed
rest and a few grizzly bears seem Sun
dav school picnics in comparison. They
put the strenuous occupant OF the
White House forever in the class Of
milksops and mollycoddles.
The official statistician to the hunts
man Kaiser reports that his majesty
has bagged total of 47,514 pieces of
eighteen thousand pheasants were as
sasnated and seventeen thousand
hares were cut off in their prime. One
can go on down the list of bOars, rab-
bits, stays. etc. until there seems to
be scarcely a variety Of bird or beast
that has escaped the imperial bullet.
The emperor even invaded the realms
Of Neptune. for we are told that one
lone, solitary whale persisted in SUI
preme honor and agony. On one short
winters day the Kaiser, unaided, shot
1858 pheasants.
This is not the annual report of a
Chicago meat-packing establishment,
but q record of imperial achievement.
In support of it, the London Magazine
reproduces photographs of the royal
nimrod picturesquely surrounded by
deceased animals. We are shown boars
about to depart this life, and stays
which are PROSTATE in the imperial
presence. "a cat may look at a king"
but the wise German feline will stay
under the Hohenzollern barn.-Success

child's clothes had caught fire from the

caused the fatal injuries, but she did not
succeed. She was painfully burned about
the hands and arms. She called for as.
sistance, and the girl was hurried tc
the Emergency hospital.

tried to smother the flames and succeed

two doors from the Dodge residence and
was on his way to luncheon when he
heard Mrs. Dolge's screams.
