GERmANY's TEDDY.
The readers of the press by looking
back will find that for seevral years
past the world has been treated to
what We might term explosions of
lightning flashes and the correspond
ing darkness by the stage dramatic
propensities of the kaiser in Germany
This iracible Individual known as
the emperor of the German state gets
spells of brilliancy. dash and bravado
that for moment seem to have the
force OF psychology wherever noticed,
but alas, he is also- afflicted by fits of
disgusting weakness and is as change,
able and unreliable as the clouds II
the spring and such character would
bring in the reaction of darkness
wherever his brilliancy flashes, says
the Ell Paso News.
Many times the kaiser has been lik-
ened to our Teddy and properly SO,

between the two men. The kaiser,
during the performance of. his stage
plays becomes preacher, soldier, ad-
miral, society leader, agitator, dicta-
tor and what not in all the eata-
logues of variety; and our Teddy is
almost exactly the same. Everything
with him is l, my, me, for me, by me
and from me. But the inexorability
of the equalization Of things of what
we know as justice comes around in
time
The wire now advises us that the
kaiser is the most disgusting entity of
government in all the German empire
Every newspaper and magazine is at
lacking him and is disguised with
him Suddenly, like a whole stream,
has come the execration of his own
people. They have seen through the
makeup Of the head of their govern
ment and seem to have found it shall
low vanity, pretension, verbocity and
bragadocia and they are sick at heart.

that the two are as much alike as twt
