Kaiser Hears That's What He and Col

Roosevelt yarn is going the rounds of

courage to address the following re-
mark TO the emperor at the gala din
ner at the castle:
Your majesty; everybody in Amer
lea has been wondering who talked
most when you and Col Roosevelt got
together last spring"
Ever since the kaiser began to cult
vate Americans a few years ago he
has accustomed himself to their IN
conventional familiarities, so the poser
from the Harvard scholar phased the
war lord not one whit
'Oh, really don't know about that, :,
re responded smilingly "All l know
is that the people who saw us to-
gether said it was just like a couple of

Wits considerable interest.
The innovation is to be a Aup1Ica-
ton il. the daily field of the IDEAS of
those highly successful monthly and
weekly periodicals, The Review of

is to be undertaken by Ernest F. Bir-
mingham, for seventeen years editor
of the Fourth Estate and thoroughly
conversant with the newspaper bust
ness. He is to call his publication
The Newsletter, Of which the pur-
poses are to he:
First-To condense the news of the
world for the benefit of the busy man
of affairs, experimenting it by the
latest news of Importance up to the
hour of going to press.
Second-To gather and present the
editorial opinions of TIE leading news
papers and standard periodicals every
where on all important public ques-
tons, without any editorial comments
of its own.
To expand the news of art, litera-
ture, music, the drama in its higher

only one edition and no extras. 1t is
to sell for ) cents, and Mr.. Birming-
ham expects to cater to the tastes of

that there are between $4,000 and 49,
900 people of this class in and around

tons, Diminishing sucI events as the
Thaw trial, the Gaynor shooting, the
San Francisco earthquake with a
mere record of the salient facts. 1t
will similarly treat the markets and
sports. It's promoter assumes that

ested in the details of any species of
daily news will naturally buy also
one of the Ordinary afternoon daily
newspapers.

used, the typography will be unique
and the press work of the highest
