 Il promise that. But are you going to Berlin simply to enjoy the sensation of being emperor?"
 His majesty is not in Berlin"
 "Where is he?"
 Follow me-
 The two sportsmen, for such they were, moved away.
 Who are you?' asked the man who was to play emperor of the other.

 "Oh, you do? Very well, if you are afraid. pay me the thousand thalers."
 Not by a long shot Proceed"
 The emperor's impersonator led the way to the lodge, threw down his game bag in which there were two pheasants and said to courtiers who came up obsequiously.
 This is Mir Borngesser from Amer ica. He will be our guest for the day. Let all possible consideration be shown him."
 One took Mir, Borngesser's gun. an- other his game bag (brimful of pheas- ants), and another offered him re- freshment He looked very uneasy and as soon as an opportunity offered whispered to the impostor:
 Suppose tine emperor should sud denly appear"
 Tn that case 1 would win my bet. It would prove that I could not play the sovereign without detection"
 Dinner was soon served, and the American sat down at table with "his majesty anl a small suit at the lodge.
 What do you do with poachers in Missouri?" asked his majesty"
 There are no poachers, for there are no preserves"
 We jail them here. As a German American citizen we are pleased to honor you, but as a poacher you will have to spend few months in pris- on."
 The American tried to laugh, but in stead he turned pale. "Then there will be a few more months punishment for leze majesty"
 "Leze majesty?'
 Didn't you say awhile ago that you 1 considered yourself as good as the emperor? What do you think of that, gentlemen? This resident of the far west in America considers himself as good as ourself"
 ''So that's your game" said the American, firing up, "by pretending to be emperor to get me in here for | blackmail"

The Headless Horse Terror.
Oak Lane Citizens, Noted For Their Strict Sobret, Tell Of Horr
flying Phantom That Appears Along Highways at Midnight Hour

The headless horseman of Sleepy
Hollow. immortalized by Washington
Irving, has a rival in Oak Lane, Phila-
delphia, according to residents of that
suburb. Like the apparition which
frightened the wits out of Ichabod
Crane, this steed also thunders along
highways at the midnight hour.
Gigantic and pure white in color, the
beast gallops along White road near
the city line when the occupants Of
the scattered farmhouses slumber and
the moon bathes hill and vale in its
soft white rays.
Two citizens have been terrorized by
the phantom. Both fed from the road
to escape destruction beneath its
hoofs, and one watched the terrifying
steed dash to the summit Of Baptist
hill and vanish, not over the crest, but
into space
George Rice. landscape gardener
who IS well known in Oak Lane, en-
countered the ghost recently. He was
walking on White road an hour after
midnight. returning from a visit to a
young woman who dwells in one of
the farlnhonses. when the noise Of APP
proceeding hoofs disturbed his media

TAFT REPLIES TO BRYAN,
Says People Rule Through the Repub.
Iican Party.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 22.-"The
people have ruled through the Repub-
lican party" This is William H. .Taft's
answer to Mr.. Bryan's challenge,
"Shall the people ruler"
The answer was made in an address
the Republican presidential candidate
made before a gathering of several
thousand Virginia Republicans who
came to the mountains to see and
hear him and to celebrate Virginia
day." To make his point perfectly
clear Mr.. Taft referred to the first
election of Mr.. Mckinley las one of
the most intelligent and effective ex-
pressions of popular will ever mani
tested to the world and the main
tenance of the gold standard and a
protective tariff by the administration
was a correct Interpretation of the
peoples will. This was shown to be
so by even a greater majority for the
party in 1900 and still greater major
ity in 1904, when Roosevelt was elect
cd, and we may we'll submit to the
country whether his administration
has not expressed the will of the peo-

days in jail. Being penniless. the.
man was sentenced to serve the fifteen
days in Jail.
Campbell, it is claimed, had entered
several homes on the West side and
helped himself with food. Where the
occupants Of the house refused to give
HIM food and would not allow him to
enter, he used filthy and obscene
language toward them.
The man had been told by the police
two or three times to leave town, but
had steadfastly refused When
F'rlesinger went to arrest the fellow In
the railroad yards Campbell made
motion to draw out a revolver. He
was covered by the police officer and
his weapon taken away from him.
The man is a stought husky fellow,
weighing in the neighborhood of $50
pounds. While in the city. lookup
awaiting his trial Monday afternoon,
Campbell started, by main force, to

ton. Louder and louder rose the
noise until Rice turned and stared in
amazement, for in all his experience
he had never heard such clatter.
Having passed a turn in the road, he
could not see the approaching horse,
but the rapidly and thunder Of the
hoof beats convinced him that the ami
NAL was running wild. Rice darted
to one side as the noise Of the hoofs
reached the turn in the road, and a
moment later he lay In the grass too
astonished to move. The clatter of
hoofs had passed him, yet no horse
was visible.
At 1890 o'clock the other morning
William Kinsman was walking along
the White road near the spot where
Rice had his strange adventure.
Kinsman had reached the foot Of
Baptist hill when he heard hoof beats
approaching from behind. He sprang
to one side Of the road to avoid being
run down. but he beheld the phantom

Miss Hoffman, does not give all her

The audience is so spellbound with

even the exotic costume.
Miss Hoffmann leaves nothing to be

movements. Her feeling is frankly

Broadway is agog over the high

Maud Allan's classic dance Originally

Miss Hoffmann's Salome costume
consists specifically OF one pair of
flesh colored silk trunks, reaching from
the waist halfway to the knee; one
skirt of black gauze, gold embroidered

costume. Neither tights nor sandals
are worn, the arms, limbs and torso
being entirely bare.

of the child.
So suddenly was the mother made
aware Of the snakes presence she
seemed to lose action and stood petri-
fed and apparently hypnotized. Her
eyes were fixed on the glittering little
eyes Of the snake, and her gaze fol-
lowed the sinuous, weaving movement
of the reptile until she was completely
enrapt.
Then sensational thing occurred.
The snakes eyes suddenly lost their
glitter, and it fell writing from its
coil. In a few moments it was ap-
parently dead. An examination showed
that the snake was sloughing of its
last years coat and in so doing, being
under the hypnotic influence Of the
child and therefore unable to aid ma
ture, had choked to death.

mittee the bid of IT, H. Enke and
John Love Of Sc. 20 per booth, for the
new portable booths that were decided
upon some time ago, was accepted.
Sixteen of these booths were ordered.
They are to be OF a uniform shape
and size, Sx16 feet, and will have
four tiers of shelves on each of the
two sides. These, as has been stated
before, will be strung in the middle
of Broadway and First street east,

considerable vegetation. But they
were cut off from it by an impossible
marsh, and their boat had been
smashed. ,
1t was plain they could not exist
long where they were, so four Of the
most daring undertook to swim to the
other island and explore it. They
found much better conditions, includ-
ing an abundance of good water, and
they swan back. to give the news to
their comrades and concert ways to
reach the better region.
All except one resolved to attempt
the swim, some making life belts to
help them keep afloat. One Of the par
ty had fallen into despair. To all pleas
he returned the answer that the spot
where be was was good enough to die
in. He remained behind, and later,
when help came, his skeleton was
found on the beach.
The rest all made the. passage in
safety. They found their new quar-
tiers much better than the old. Food
was more plentiful, and there was no
trouble about water
But a new trouble was in store for
them. The place swarmed with ants
and mosquitoes. The men were COW
cred with Sores Their nerves were
racked by loneliness and despair, and
more than one showed symptoms of
mental arrangement The mate in
charge of the boat party lost his mind
completely, and for five weeks he had
to be watched day and night.
One of the sailors, German named
Schaffer, irritated at a temporary scar
city Of food, started out on a fool
hardy exploring expedition along the
cliffs which bQrdered part Of the, shore
He fell into the sea and was killed.
Weeks heightened into months. The
castaways almost lost sense Of time
They became pale and emaciated and
almost too listless to search for food.
They grew to abhor the things they
had to eat monotonously, and their
cravings were all centered on bread.
Their sight became impaired, too,
probably from the merciless sunlight
as much as from weakness. Sometimes
they sat whole days gazing out over
the sea, but really not seeing it. They
all told of visions Of life elsewhere, at
home, on board ship, in ports they had
visited. ...-,~ ~>:>---.:s<<e.*. II =
Early after their landing they had
put up pole with shirt for a signal
in case any ship should pass that way.
1t was their salvation. The other boat
had not been lost. 1t had made one of
the inhabited islands, and the casta-
way crew had been sent to the main
land. -~'~--,~'@;r -'~~4
A small government chartered
schooner was sent from Iquique to
search for the missing boat and its
men, and after couple Of weeks
vain cruising among the islands and
just on the point Of giving up the
quest it sighted the signal Of distress
It was Oct. 20, just five months and
twenty days from the date Of the
abandonment Of the bark. The sur
vivors of the party could not have
lived more than week or two longer.
