Emperor wIlIl.n'. Trad. A..i.., tn



In the Septsmber American Maya
zine Octave Mirbeau writes an extraor-
dinarily frank and illuminating char
acter sketch Of Em peror William. Fol-
lowing is an account Of how William
feels toward Socialism given to the
author by friend who knows the
i Emperor welD.
"Ds you know the Large fountain
which stands in the Sehloss platz? 1t
was sequeathed to the city Of Berlin
by very rich gentleman. The mayor,
in accordance with the usual csremon :
isl custom, invited the Emperor to
take part in the dedication exercises.
The Emperor was absolutely outraged.
He could hardly believe that they
would dare to erect in Berlin q mona-
meat which had not originated with
him.
"He exhausted all the administra-
i've and legal tricks that he could think
of to prevent the acceptance Of the
legacy, and, falling to arrest the pre-
ject, sent a curt refusal to attend the
d dedication. He felt that this fountain
was direct blow at his authority; al

CHRISTMAS
MONEY
New Plan for Earning
Spending Money for
Holiday.
PRIZES OFFERED
SCHOOL CHILDREN
Hundreds of Boys and
Girls Collected yves
ton Bread" Cards.

If you have not been asked by some
school boy or girl to buy loaf of the
Ideal Bakery's Weston Bread, already,
you probably will be in the very near
future. There are, perhaps hundred
or more hustling school kids" who
are working like fiends to secure some
Of the prize money which is being Of
fered them by the Ideal.
This enterprising bakery, conceived
the idea of getting the kids" to work
for them in introducing weston
Bread. At the beginning of the con-
test they ran, in the State Journal.
several advertisements. asking all the
boys and girls attending any of the
eight grades in the city or Catholic
schools. to be present the following
morning to find out how to earn the
Christmas spending money. The APP
pointed day was stormy one-wet and
snowy. .Notwithstand ing this fact, 10
o'clock showed a score of noisy shout
ing school boys and as many wide
awake. expeetant girls, all after the
plan to earn Christmas spending
money.
Mr.. He'll. a member of the firm,
then explained to them how they were
to get the money. First, he distrib-
uted to each boy and girl, a packet of
out by any lady who had tried Weston
Bread and found it good. Then told
them that only one card from the lady
of the house would be accepted, and
that each card must be returned with
in one week from the time it was
signed. Next he cautioned them not
to use any false addresses or names
and also told them that the contest
would close at o'clock in the even
ing of December 18th, ans that the
prizes would be awarded on Monday,
December 21st. just in time to spend
and have a glorious good time during
the Christmas vacation.
To the boy or girl who returned the
greatest number of properly signed
cards, he agreed to give IS in cash,
to the second So. to the third 50 and
to the next ten greatest 81 each.
There was also a prize of 81 to each
girl or boy of any one school bringing
the greatest number of cards, pro-
vided he had not already won any of
the other prizes.
All thought it pretty good scheme
to earn some money which theyscould
spend all their own way and agreed
to try. Since then others have enter
ed and there are dozens of school
children working in every part Of the
city to earn some real money to spend
Just the way they want to.
Some of the contestants have al
ready turned in as high as fifty cards,
but there is still plenty of time for
any Industrious boy. or girl to earn
one of the prizes, as the contest does
not close for more than a month to
| come.

MRS. TAFT'S HATS.
They Are Modest in Style and She
Buys in New York.


New York, Nov. 7.-Now that the
presidential election is over, New
Workers and particularly New York
women are discussing the coming
first lady of the land" Mrs. William
Howard Taft. Mrs. Taft is not well
known in New York. but New York
ers have discovered that she buys her
hats here and the city's womanklnd
is interested. 1t develops that her lat
est hats, those she has worn during
the campaign, were obtained here. Two
of them purchased a short time before
the election, were simple hats. for Mrs
Taft is woman who dresses quietly.
The president-elect does not like pro-
nounced styles in any kind of wearing
apparel, and it was to please him as
well as herself that one of Mrs Taft
hats was in toupe and amethyst shades
and the other in black and white. Inc
first hat was of mushroom shaped felt
in the toupe or mole. color, trimmed
with amethyst velvet and wings to
match. The second hat was of black
beaver on the order of small sailor,
and trimmed with fancy black and
white wings.
One of Mrs. Taft's reasons for Xix
ing New York millinery is that the
woman who sold her the hats is an
old school friend who lived in the
same block in the same street with
Mrs. Taft in Cincinnati. This is the
street on which Charles P. Taft broth
er of the president, lives and where the
president-elect's family made thelI
home during the campaign.
