Educating Royalty.

Divinity may or may not hedge
a king. If we think it does, it does;
if we think it dosen't, it dosen't. The
German people hold, one opinion
Colonel Roosevelt, a strenuous and
aggressive minority, holds another.
Between these divergent opinions the
German Emperor is having the time
of his life.
Europe lives in a hothouse atmos--
phere of convention, 1t Is Colonel
Roosevelt's office to smash a few
panes and let in the fresh air. He
has smashed a number at Berlin, as
at other places, and the stifiing
grandees so far from resenting 1t,
rather relish it.
To ignore vain ceremonial, to
brush aside empty forms, to come
down to the bedrock of essential fact
and to appraise the value of the
reality behind the trappings and the
show--all this is a service that only
an American could perform for an
old society. The German Emperor
is as little likely to suffer from this
direct approach and clean-cut method
as any other man in Europe--a fact
which helps explain the friendship
which has been strucl up within the
past few days.--Chlcago Record

HOME OF THE SHETLAND PONY


HOME OF THE SHETLAND PONY.
Just off the coast of Scotland there
Is a group of islands called the Shet-
land Islands, On one of this group
OF. Shetlands the men are so large
they are almost giants, for they are
tall, strong and broad shouldered.
Their wives and children, too. are fine
looking and intelligent. Only twenty
five miles away from this island Of
Fetlar is one called Muckle Roe.
There the men are small, ill-shapen,'
homely, and, in fact, look almost like
queer little dwarfs. These people
are SO very loyal to each other that
they do not like to welcome any Of
their nelghboring islanders to live In
Muckle Roe. For this reason these
queer people make very little pro-
gress. When the people of Shetland
Islands reach the age of twenty they
feel rather sure of long life, for over
half of the population live to be sew
enty years old and many of the people
lead vigorous out-of-door lives until
they are past eighty years OF age.
