The wolf, a big male, was seen a

lamb and escaped without being
shot. He had been seen often and
had often been shot at. On one oc-
casion Esq. Dade wounded him, but
he dragged himself away and reach

Esq Dade, after his last visit, de.

he lived foot by foot. The hunters
were stationed all around the woods
and the hounds sent in. After a

TO GIVE HIM 3 DAYS.
The Kaiser Is Preparing a Big Time
for Roosevelt.

Berlin, March 31.-Emperor Will
liam has invited ex-President Roosevelt
to be his personal guest at the palace
for three of the five days that Colonel
Roosevelt will spend in Berlin. The
ex-president will arrive here on the
evening of May 9, and will be enter
tanned by David Jayne Hill, the Aneri-
can ambassador, until the 18th, when
the emperor will return to the capital
from the provinces. Then Colonel
Roosevelt VIII go to the palace.
The emperor will throw court pre-
cedence to the winds during Colonel
ceremonies and the court chamber
lains are dismayed by the emperor's
determination to give a private and
nom official person precedence at the
dinner and elsewhere over everybody,
even the royal princes. The expecta-
ton is that the emperor, who has given
much thought to the entertainment of
his distinguished American guest, is
preparing surprises for the three days
in which he will give up to the ex-
president most of his time
What do you think Mr.. Roosevelt
would like to see in Berlin ~ inquired
the emperor of President Wheeler of
the University of California few
days before the professor left for home
early this month.
MEN, said Professor Wheeler
NMr. Roosevelt would. 1 think, prefer
over all things, to meet representative
German men,
Professor Wheeler also thought Mr..
Roosevelt might like to hear some
good music, 10 see one or two galleries
and to visit Frederick the Greats
country house "Sans Souci'' at Pots
dam.
While the emperor did not say di-
rectly he would follow the suggested
outline. 1t is likely he will have dis
tinguished company to dine with Mr..
Roosevelt and that he will arrange
for a gala opera in his honor.
The University of Berlin will bestow
the degree OF doctor of law upon Colo

The American Association of Com
merce and Trade has invited Colonel
Roosevelt to BE present at reception.

Charles S. Gleed gave a luncheon at
the Hotel Baltimore yesterday he in
vited several business men of Kansas
City to meet Theodore Cook, general
manager of tie western division of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
When he asked Frank A. Faxon he
didn't know that he was to cause a
meeting of two men who hadn't seen
each other for AZ years.
While Quantrell was burning Law
renee in 1863 the Western Union Tele-
graph company was causing wires to
be laid to Lawrence. The wires ar
rived one month after QuantrelPs raid.
Mr.. Faxon said last night that the
opening of the telegraph office was
about as important an event to Law
renee At years ago as was the raising
of the river million to Kansas City a
few days ago.

''came a slender, bright-eyed, 17-year-
old boy, who was to be the telegraph
operator. Theodore Cook was the
youths name, and he was a more i'm
portant man in Lawrence than was
the mayor, fcr the townspeople real
lied that a telegraph line meant COM
munication with the outside, world,
and that communication with the out
side world meant a great deal to a
town which was ruinea by the raiders.

river. The wire didn'+ run to Kansas
City. but to Leavenworth, for in those
days Leavenworth was a bigger and
better town than Kansas City, which
was mostly Westport Landing. When
I arrived there wasn't much left of the
town. for Quantrell had taken along
most of the valuables that he hadn't
burned up. I was there five years, and
saw Frank Faxon about every day of
the time. When I left it happened
that we didn't run into each other UNI

Mr.. Cook left last night for ST. Louis.
