KAISER'S PHRASE ORDINARY,
Great and Good Friend" Not Ex-
pressive Of Anything.

pressive Of Anything.
Great and good friend" the phrase
used by the kaiser in addressing the
Nicaraguan president, seems to have
created n tempest in a teapot in Ger
many, where 1t gave fiery editorial
writer's an opportunity to talk bellig-
erently about England.
1t is admitted that the familiar
phrase was not the product of the
Kaiser's own pen, but that 1t was used
as a mere conventional expression by
an official in the foreign office, whose
duty 1t is to write nice letters to presi-
dents and princes upon their promo
ton.
Queen Victoria was more sparing in
her use of the address intimate. In
writing to President Buchanan fifty
years ago thanking him for the at
tentions shown to her son the Prince
of Wales she merely addressed the
president as "My good friend" sign.
ing her letter, always your good
friend"
When Louis Napoleon was elected
president of the French republic she
addressed him as MY good friend"
Being a sovereign herself, when Ma.
poleOn became emperor she addressed
him as mon frere."

CLEVELAND ANCESTOR SLAVE
Sold For Sixteen Gallons of Rum II
Massachusetts,.

Massachusetts.
Through the efforts of residents Of
the town of Westfield, the genealogy
of the late President Cleveland may
soon be worked out, thus revealing
one of the most romantic chapters in
the early history of Massachusetts.
On tour of investigation, which
has occupied most of the last ten
years, and which, with its last stop
ping place in Westfield, has now led
to the island of Guernsey in the Eng
fish channel, Miss Rose Cleveland, sis
ter of the late president, thus hopes
soon to set forth new chapter in the
history of the famous president.
Through this search, now temporar-
lily halted in the little island where
Miss Cleveland is at present carrying
on the work, there has been establish
ed beyond a doubt the fact that two
generations of ancestors Of Grover
Cleveland were after their arrival in
America some 200 years ago, held in
slavery, one of them, the late presi-
dents great grandfather, being sold to
woman in Canada for sixteen gal
Ions of rum.

BASEBALL WILL NEVER DIE.
Will Live In Heaven In Spiritual
Form-Maybe

Baseball In Heaven" was the sub
ject of n sermon preached by the Rev.
c. Julian Tuthil, pastor of the Congre-
gational church of Mattapoisett. Mass.
He said In part
Heaven is but an evolution of this
world. A Christian may love ball
game and. loving it. remain a Chris
tian. Why. then, Is 1t not safe to
prophesy that even the game of base
ball will have its place in some spir-
itual form in heaven?"

Americans.

Farm produce today Is remunera-
tive. and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies in the
cultivation OF the soil. Farming is no
longer hand-to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence, often affiueDcs,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house. near ono of
the numerous thriving towns of AL
berta. in Western Canada. the writer
was given a definition Of 'indepen-
dence' that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres of the farm
er's land had a crop--and a splendid
one, too, by the way--ripening for the
reapers work. The evenness OF the
crop, covering field after field attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
OF the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was a French
Canadian-was easily understandable
