THE BUSY KAISER.
Hardly a Thing I'm the Empire Es.
capes HIS Attention.

Hardly a Thing In the Empire Els.
capes HIS Attention.
Emperor William is the busiest man
in Germany. Temperamentally, l take
it, President Roosevelt resembles him
much, but the Kaiser is the more YER
satile of the two. says a writer IN
Everybody's. If there is anything 60
ing on In the empire that the Kaiser
does not find an opportunity to take
hack at, it has escaped the notice Of
those who watch him closely. He re-
vises all public findings, supervises all
architecture, lectures everybody and
is a general all-around Little Father
IL every sense Of the term.
When they want to illustrate his
ceaseIess activity as well as his re-
sistless power they tell the story Of
the star above the cross on the spire
Of the Emperor William Memorial
Church. This is the tale as 1t was
told to me: OF course, the Kaiser in
sisted on revising the plans Of the
church. That Is one Of his fondest
Notwithstanding everything and
especially plans. The architect brought
the plans to him, and the Kaiser
scratched out what he didn't like and
made such additions as he fancied be-
fore he gave them the imperial o. K.
The church was built. There was to
be big, gilt cross on the spire, and 1t
appeared in its proper place. But,
much to the general establishment,
when the cross was put up a large
many-pointed gold star was raised
above it, on a heavy rod. The Berlin
ers could not understand the star.
They inquired. The architect said the
Kaiser had added the star to the plans.
The plans were examined. Then 1t
was found that, n revising them, the
Kaiser had let fall q drop Of ink from
his pen, which hit the paper just above
the cross. The architect studied long
time over this blot Of Ink. His Teutonic
mind grappled with the problem for
weeks. There was no appeal. There
could be no inquiries. He finally de-
cided the blot Of ink signified a star
above the cross, and he put the star
there, making it to correspond as near
" as possible with the outlines of the
blot. The star is still there.

One Of the results OF the recent panic
b the great increase in the number Of
stockholders in the dividend-paying
railroad and manufacturing companies.
Investors with money in the bank, at
r4cted by the prospect of profitable re-
surns, bought the stocks at the low
prices prevailing a few months ago.
One well known railroad company has
Eained six thousand stockholders, and
.wenty-sevsn thousand more persons
low hold shares in big steel company
han held them last year. These are
merely examples. The new investors Of
pourse knew that they were taking risks
u buying the stocks, risks which no
person who cannot afford to lose his
money has any business to take.
