GERMAN TROOPS
PASS IN REVIEW
FOR ROOSEVELT
"YOu Are First Civilian Who
Ever Reviewed Soldiers"
Says Kaiser
$4,000 Engage in Sham Battle
Arranged in Honor of the
Former President

BERLIN. May IA sham fight, in
which 10000 German soldiers of all
arms took part occupied the atten-
ton of Colonel Roosevelt and Emperor
William for several hours this morning.
After the battle on the field of Doe
beritz the troops paraded before the
former president and the emperor, who
were standing side by side some 20
PAGES in front of the gorgeous staff.
They saluted the colors of the vari-
Gus commands. the emperor touching
his helmet and Colonel Roosevelt lift
ing his sombrero
HONORED, SAYS KAISER
Speaking partly in English and part
ly in German, the emperor, turning to
Colonel Roosevelt. said: My friend
Roosevelt, you are the first civilian
who has reviewed our soldiers,' and
then TO the German officers: we are
honOred in having here the distin-
guished colonel of the Rough Riders"
The former president was five hours
in the saddle, having been furnished
superb mount by the emperor. During
the battle. which covered a field 20
miles square, Roosevelt spent much
time talking with the emperor. They
drew apart from the others and at
times were exceedingly vehement in
their gestures. Roosevelt wore dingy
khaki uniform. while the emperor and
his generals in uniforms of blue with
gold helmets made a striking contrast.
The maneuvers were witnessed also
by a party which included Empress
Auguste Victoria, Crown Prince Fred
erick William. Crown Princess Cecilie,
Princess Victoria Louise, Prince Adel-
bert Kermit Roosevelt and Henry
White, former American ambassador to
France.
The engagement opened with an ar
tiIIery duel. followed by a sharp col
lision along the whole front between
the cavalry and infantry. The thou
sand cavalry participated.
The day was bright and sunny and
the effect was most pleasing from
Muehlenberg hill, from which Roose-
welt, the emperor, the umpires and Off
GERS of the general staff watched the
finale.
Parting saIutations were then ex-
changed and the imperial party left in
automobiles for Potsdam, while Roose-
welt, Kermit and White returned to
this city.

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY
To DARKEN THE HAIR

Who does not know of the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark. soft, glossy and in good con
dition? As matter of fact. sulphur is
a natural element of the hair. and
deficiency of 1t in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists to be connected
with loss of color and vitality of the
hair. Unquestionably. there is no
better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles. especially premature grav-
ness, than sage and sulphur. if prop

Aibinos.

Albinism is much more common
il some of the lower animals than
in man. White rabbits, white cats,
white mice and white ferrets are all
albinos. The farfamed white ele-
plant OF Siam is another specimen
Of the same curious condition. Al
binism is due to absolute lack of
coloring matter in the hair, eyes
and other structures, and the rca-
son why the eyes of en- albino APP
pear to be pink is simply because
the eyebal], being colorless and
transparent, permits the blood cir
culating at the back of it to be
plainly visible. |: is not generally
known that albilism is hereditary
in man as in other animals. In
Circassia are number of families

for generations back been pure

glar appeared to enjoy himself i'm
mensely, but when they passed a
pretty house standing back from

the taste and wealth of the owner
the burglar fairly gloated over it

The ALABAMA'S
PIRATE CHICK
How crocky Dixon Hunted a
Ship In a Fog.
BY k,NeseuRv WEIGH.

copyright. 1910. BY American Press Asso-
ciation.l
There were during the civil war sew.
eral Confederate privateers fitted out
to prey on American commerce. The
most important of these were the Ala.
Gama and the Florida. The former,
commanded by an ex.official of the
United States navy, literally swept our
merchant marine, which at that time
had taken the lead in the worlds car
rying trade, from the seas.
Raphael II. Semmes was the captain
Of the vessel. which was often dubbed
a pirate, and when she was sent to
the bottom in Cherbourg harbor by
the Kearsarge she left successor in
a real pirate. one that floated the skull
and crossbones instead Of the stars
and bars.
The birth of this offshoot, for which
rarantula would have been an appro.
pirate name, was in this wise: There
was among the crew Of the Alabama,
which was made up of the most des-
perate men of all nations. one named
Dixon. He is said to have been a mild
hammered man. slender and delicate
looking, but as bloodthirsty as tiger.
He was called Crocodile Dixon, the
surname being abbreviated to Crocky.
In 1865 the Alabama visited the Indian
archipelago. Dixon deserted and set
up in the business Of piracy on his own
account.
He succeeded in getting a small
schooner. which he named the Semmes
in honor. or. rather. dishonor. Of his
old commander, armed her, gathered a
crew such as could easily he picked
up in that region of pirates and pro-
ceeded to make himself master of ev-
erything that foated except men-of-
war. from which he scudded away as
fast as sails would carry him. Piracy
has always been in vogue in that part
Of the world. and Malay pirates have
often figured in stories Of luckless trav-
elers who have been forced to walk
the plank. At any rate, Crocky Dixon
concluded to make it his field.
One evening Crocky Dixon sat on
the deck Of the Semmes putting a
cigar and watching big ship maneu.

Antiquity Of Bells.

The art of bell founding is un-
doubtedly OF great antiquity. The
Saxons are known to have used
bells in their churches, although
probably but small ones, for the
Venerable Bede, writing at the end
Of the seventh century, alludes to
them in terms which seem to show
that they we're not unfamiliar
things. The towers Of the Saxon
period have belfries of considerable
dimensions in most cases, and at
Crowland abbey, in south Lincoln
shire, there was famous peal of
seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.-London

hands. Perhaps there were other yes

not care to attract: perhaps he pre-

At any rate. he made no move to get
up his anchor and carefully avoided
displaying any evidence of the charac-

The ship he watched was the Mary
