The Kaiser at forty-nine bulks large in
the worlds affairs, and his influence is for
pesce. He has disappointed all of his
enemies-brought to nothing all of their
predictions. At the outset he was both
misunderstood and misrepresented. That
he would plunge Europe into wal In a
few years was the honest expectation of
some men high in authority. Others
merely pretended to the dread. Instead
of this the Kaiser has thrown his whole
power into the scale for progress. = Ger
many under his direction-and he has been
supreme at home-has gone steadily for
ward, and is greater today in influence on
the worlds affairs than ever before. The
only notable change Is this: that whereas
there was uneasinesg when the Kaiser took
charge, there is uneasiness now lest he
soon let 90. Reports as to his health are
disquietlng, and everywhere is apprecia-
ton of the loss his country and the world
would sustain by the death Mt n time

trenched in the general esteem. Even the
French have grown to admire him.-Wash-

wOmcn's Marriage Chances.

10 the EuAtOr OF the EVenlng star:
At what ages does a woman have the
best change of marriage? READER.
according to figures collected by the
Census Bureau a woman is more likely
to fall a victim of matrimony between the
ages of 20 and % than at any other time
in her life. Her chances in this period
are 62 in 100. The period between 25 and
30 is next in order, accounting for IS per
cent, hus showing that, in this country
at least, the tendency is not toward early
marriages. A woman & just about as like
ly to marry between 10 and 20 az between
30 and IS, the chances being las per cent.
In the former case as compared to 15.5
per cent. in the latter. After that the
prospects Of matrimony become rather
hopeless. A woman between 45 and 50 has
only three-eighths of / per cent, of her
chances left, while in the ten years from
so to 60 they are only one-fourth Of 1 per
cent.-Ed.J

sanity eyeing the door and prepared to
flee if a creditor should appear with
his big revolver, Louis R. Hough, the
bankrupt commission man, told a re-
markable story of how to do business
on nothing before Referee Ethridge in
Federal court. Hough said that he
started into his business on nothing.
He had no property. But his credlt
was good and with this as foundation
he bought and sold hogs until he finds
himself in the hole some $10S,OOO. All
that he put into the business in three
years was $500. And all this time
though he realized that he was run
ming behind month after month";
Hough never once told creditor that
he was losing ground. l expected 10
make it all back" he said. IF had
told one Of the farmers with whom
dealt that l was behind, they would
have stopped selling to me and L
would have failed" But by selling
one shipment of hogs and taking the
proceeds to pay for the shipment he
had purchased from the last preced-
ing seller, the commission man man
aged to keep going until finally the
bank where he did business refused
to honor his checks. Then it was all
off. While he was thus leading the
simple life, Hough said his household
expenses were from $500 to $500 per
month. Il always carried small
amount in my pocket, say $500 or
$500" he said nonchalantly.
