KAlsER's 40 CASTLES.
Not All of Them as Fine as His Lat
est Purchase at Corfu.


The Lady's Realm.-A two hours
walk from the capital of Corfu brings
the dust-covered tourist within sight
OF one of the most glorious archftec-
tural creations in existence the
Achilleion, the fairy castle Of that
restless, unfortunate empress who
was to die under a murderer's steel.
The beauty of It's outward form-a
clever imitation of the Pompeian style
is only matched by its lavish inner
decoration, on which the Empress
Elizabeth is said to have spent case
GOO. and by the magnificent views it
commands.
The Achilleion is the forty-ninth ad-
dition to the residences of the King OF
Prussia. The German emperor as
such draws no payment or emolument
of any kind and there exist therefore
no .imperial' possessions.
In ordinary German parlance every
one of these forty-nine structures or
estates is called 'Kaiserliches Sea
loss" an imperial castle, but the truth
is that only few of them are real

reputation in their especial fields.
The lad Roosevelt, under the tute-
lage of Mr.. Chapman, has been study
ing and taking pictures of birds and
animals under what approaches a con-
dition of nature. His specific training
photograpnically has been in the direc-
ton of handling the long focus lens,
by means of which it is possible to
photograph an animal at a distance
of 800 feet and get him in perfect de-
tail There is a much greater amount
of skill and experience required in the
handling of this class of lens than in
the ordinary Photographic camera
the short objective kind. However,
almost any fairly intelligent man can
learn to become an adequately good
operator with the long focus objective
in several weeks.
The fact that when the photographs
of the trip to and through Africa be-
gin to be taken the expedition will
be many hundreds of miles from civ
ilization, makes it essential that the
Photographic outfit shall be complete
to it's minutest detail and that its opera
ton shall be in the hands of an expert
to secure the surest result. The presi-
dents son will carry along a photo
grapic kit whose value probably will
approximate $4,000, and the safe trans
portation of the delicate cameras and
the hundreds Of easily broken plates
will be one of the most ticklish prob
lens Of the long journey. 1t will not
be practicable to carry films 20 any
extent because of the climatic condi-
tons. In the hot and humid regions
whittier the expedition is going films
are likely to stick together like post
age stamps in a fat mans pocket on a
steaming day, and thus become use
less, or else become so "mottled" by
the moist air that they are worth
less
Not the least interesting thing about
this course of Photographic study in
the field by Kermit Roosevelt is that
it marks an altogether new departure
on the part of the president as a
huntsman.

castles in an architectural sense OF
the word, and sta fewer in a historic
sense.
The royal seats in Germany are not
national. For this reason the restor-
alton of time-worn castles does not go
on according to a large, liberal insight
as to what is of the first Importance;
| it goes on unsystematically, according
to a dynastic feeling of what may con
duce to the dynastys distinction.
A comparatively undressing castle
like the Kohonigs burg-to quote one
example out of many-is therefore re-
stored, as the outcome of an imperial
whim, at an enormous expense, while
seats of Overwhelming historic impor-
lance, as for instance Konigs Wester-
| hansen, are allowed.
The German emperors, residences
are mostly plain country seats or mere
shooting boxes, so that the total,
| forty-nine, loses much of its sensa-
tional character when properly scru-
| tinized. Among his various Berlin
and Potsdam palaces the Royal Castle
on the Spree is one of the largest city
residence buildings in the whole Of
Germany.
One of the favorite resorts of En-
lperor William and his family seems to
| be his domain of Cadinen, near Elbin ,,
situated in a most charming forest
Landscape. 1t has become widely
known through the emperor's success
! full experiment as a manufacturer and
exporter; the handsome majolicas pro-
duced at Cadinen and publicly sold all
over the world are highly valued by
cCnnoisseurs.
William II. is also the owner of a
steam brick factory and alcohol distii-
| Iery at the same place, and he attends
! to the details of his business with the
circumspection of trained merchant
Some of the royal estates have been
turned into public institutions, as FOR
instance Oranienburg, which has De-
come seminary for female teachers,
and Nider-Schonhausen which was
given over to the public as a park and
resort for recreation.
But all the emperor's landed pos
sessions outside of the capital shrink
back into the second rank, as far as
historical Importance is concerned
when compared with one small, inslg-
nificant-if not shabby-looling cot
tage situated at half an hours dis
lance by rail from Berlin. 1t was the
favorite summer resort of Frederick
William l., the second King of Prussia
| Q713-1740), who spent few months
every year at this unattractive place,
with his family.
The place is called Konigs- Wester-
| hansen, once famous hunting ground
! in a very large and noble forest, still
in part preserved and still frequently
scored by royal sportsmen. The
castle is also in existence, plain,
solid building, something like re-
spectacle farmhouse of the second
class 1t contains many relics o.
Frederick William.

KERMIT IN TRAINING
PRESIDENTS SON PREPARING FOR
AFRICAN HUNTING TRIP.
Practicing on Animals in Bronx Park
New York, to Qualify as Official
Photographer of the Prospec-
tive Expedition.

New York's geological garden has
become the training school for Kermit
Roosevelt, who is trying his hand at
snap-shooting all the big animals con-
fined there in preparation for becom-
ing the official photographer of the
proposed South African hunting trip
of his father Frank M. Chapman, the
world-famous ornithologist and most
expert photographer of moving birds
and animals in the United States, is
acting as the young mans coach in
teaching him the use of what is
known as the hunting camera.
While a more thorough and detailed
course of instruction is being given to
young Kermit Mr.. Chapman also has
been giving the president himself
very complete technical idea as to the
probable requirements of picture TAX
ing in the big game storehouse of
the world" British East Africa, which
is to be the scene of the Roosevelt
expedition Both the president and
his son are proving very apt students
under the experts guidance.
The presidents and young Kermit's
studies in bird and big game photog
raphy have been kept a close secret
The New York geological garden was
selected as the scene OF the latter's
tutoring extraordinary because of its
large collections of birds and animals
from every part of the world, its size
and extent, and the opportunity it of
fers for privacy. While on Saturdays,
Sundays and the other free days of
the week the geological park is large
ly patronized, on Mondays and Thurs
days (the pay days. during the sum-
mer months, comparatively few
people visit the big institution. This
geological park now is the finest in the
world, surprising those of the great

have been supreme. An additional

vote and support on the Bird day Of
next November. Are you interested
in this platform convention? Many OF
the candidates for the legislature have
just passed through a very strenuous
primary campaign. The anti-saloon
league has been warming them upon
one side relative to county opinion,
while the brewery interests under the
disguise and name Of German alliance
have had them on the hot Goals reia
tive to state prohibition. Prohibition
seems to have become very popular
with our brewery friends. In fact
they are, about the only people who
are talking prohibition legislation In
this state, and have issued several
pamphlets under the popular titles, Is
Prohibition Effective? Reply to the
Claims of the Anti Saloon League, and
Paying the Piper.
But the greatest of these is the one
Paying the Piper. This paying the
piper is subject that every one
should seriously consider. Someone
has got to pay the piper We have al
ways contended that those who enjoy
and receive the benefits of the piper
should pay for the piping. But under
the license system of this state, cities
and villages have long enjoyed the
hospitality and blessings OF the
brewery piper He has piped for
them for 10 these many years while
the counties have been taxed for the
piping. The prohibition party as a
party does not endorse the county
option issue. They hold that it will
interfere with state wide prohibition
But the brewery interests have be-
come alarmed of the sober thinking
Ueople of this state and are trying to
use this issue as a scarecrow and their
statements are misleading to those
who do not understand them. The
ouestion that will come before the
next legislature is not prohibition, 1t is
the question of putting this state upon
a universal high license basis. The
counties to receive their just share OF
the license revenue and to give to the
voters OF the entire counties the right
of franchise relative to the sale o.
liquor in their respective counties, be
Heving in the fairness that it is just
and right, that the people should have
the privilege of voting upon any ques-
ton in which they may be directly IN
terested and especially in eases OF
taxation. Taxation without represen-
tation is unfair and unAmerican-

shoot him. Her nerve failed, how
ever, and Rustin became angry. II
was then decided that the shooting
was to be done in his barn, the idea
being that it would appear that he
had been shot by footpads.
Lost Her Nerve Again.
He gave me the gun, said the
witness, and I walked up to the al
Hey back of his house, while he went
in the front door of the house, intend
ing to go out the back way to the
barn. All this happened on Friday,
Aug. %.
While 1 was at the alley, someone
drove along and I lost my nerve
again and went back to Farnam
street" said Mrs. Rice.
4 walked east on Farnam to get
away from him, and waited on the
next corner for a car said the wo-
man. Rustin was on that very car,
according to the womans statement.
| She said Rustin was very angry at
her desertion, and insisted on her
coming back to his place.
1--WE walked back to 41st street and
1 went around the back way through
the alley again to the barn." said
Mrs. Rice.
| She said she was let into the barn
Through sliding door.
Threatened to Kill Her.
He stepped away from me and
then said: Now shoot me, said the
woman, totally without raising her
voice or without sign of emotion. She
said he got away so there would be
no powder stains on his clothes
that he had carefully planned that
detail against detection. Her cour-
age failed again and Rustin became
SO angry that he threatened to kill
her.
Got Another Assistant
On Tuesday she went to Rustin's
Office, she said, and it was then that
he told her he had found some one
else to kill him. While there Davis
came in and she was introduced to
him.
She told of seeing Rustin put the
Iother man on a Farnam street car to
go to some appointed place where
the doctor was to meet him and of
her parting with him for the last
time.
Mrs. Rice said she was 10 years
lold, and was married two years ago
to Irving Rice, private in the Unit
ed States army at Des Moines. Her
parents live in tSat city. She went
Ito Cuba with her husband, but re-
turned last November to Des Moines,
because she said her husband had
labused her. In December she came
to Omaha She was taken sick and
DR.. Rustin attended her. and since
then she saw him almost daily.

people think of is a stein of beer and
the door to a brewery when in fact
there are thousands and thousands o.
German Americans who do not use beer
nor malt. This cry of personal liberty
is for the purpose of prejudicing the
minds of German-American voters
with the hope that the brewery inter.
ests may continue longer to dictate
the license policy of his state relative
to the retail liquor business. Their
love for the German-American is about
the same as their love for any other
American and is measured according
TO the support which they give to their
ideas and the upbuilding of their insti-
tutions. Nationality is the least Of
their troubles. 1t is votes they want
When the German-American people
come to understand the game which
the brewery interests are playing
through their organization, known as
the German alliance, they will have
no desire to become their cats-paw
under this cry of personal liberty
Now in order that there slall be no
misunderstanding relative to the ques-
ton that is going to come before the
next legislature, and that the people
may have ample time to consider it, i
shall offer to the coming republican

plank:
