Kaisers Insult to a courtler.
OPTOMETRIST
(EYE SPECIALIST

An incident very reminiscent of
such pettiness was told to Tip the
other day by an American just re-
turned from Berlin. 1t seems one of
the Kaiser's suite, a noble Of high
rank, had incurred the imperial dis
pleasure The Kaiser did not wish
to lose this gentleman's services, but
apparently desired to humiliate him
for the real or fancied offense At
one of the state dinners shortly after
ward, the noble was seated half
dozen places from his ruler. Beside
him sat a woman of title, whom he
had known from the time both could
walk The two conversed animatedly.
Suddenly his imperial majesty leaned
forward and exclaimed in a harsh
voice: Prince, it is not etiquette to
f1irt at my table," The man thus
addressed rose to his feet and bowed
low. The next day he resigned and
retired to his country estate, although
it is we'll known he received a per-
sonal letter of apology from VIII
helm II.

Fabric From Spruce Wood.

An excellent fabric made from
spruce wood pulp has been produced
by a French inventor and the first
samples were exhibited at the recent
meeting of the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers. Cloth woven
from the fiber is said to stand bleach
ing, dyeing and finishing as well as
cotton and to have more brilliant
luster. 1t can be produced for much
less cost than the market price of cot
ton, and arrangements are said to
have been made for its manufacture
on a large scale abroad.

Much Abused Vermiform Appendix

The much-abused vermiform appen.
dix may prove not quite so useless as
has been believed. DIR. A. E. Shipley,
a British surgeon, claims to have evi.
dence that it is not a decadent organ
but is a functional lymph-gland, and
that appendicitis is due to intestinal
worms. Our ancestors seem to have
been better doctors than we have been
ready to admit. They dosed them
selves occasionally with vermifuges.
and the modern increase of appen-
dicitis is attributed by this observer
to the passing of the practise.

that coins of brass were struck as

Philosophy of Phillips Brooks


1t is only by thinking about great
and good things that we come to love
them, and it is only by loving them
that we come to long for them, and it
is only by seeking after them that
they become ours, and we enter into
vital experience of their beauty and

 courts this afternoon, when AttorneL
 James A. Marr. representing the
 County Commissioners, appeared be-
 fore Judge Reed in the Superior court
 Attorney Marr wanted the court to revoke his approval of Dr. John w.
 Vollmer, son of Sheriff William Voli- mer, as jail physician.
 Attorney Marr declared the commis sioners had already paid the salary of Dr. c. Lincoln Banks until October ], the end of the fiscal year. He said It would conplicate matters and make It necessary to pay two salaries for the same position if the court order remained. It was claimed that pr. Banks has a yearly contract to act as jail physician.
 Attorney John J. Cullinan, for Sher- LIT Vollmer, wanted to know if the commissioners had paid the salary to l Dr. Banks after the courts approval | of Dr. Vollmer had been obtained. | commissioner Whitman s. Mead re- | oiled that the money had been paid after the order.
 Judge Reed said he would not try,I ne matter out on it's merits now, but would revoke his order, without preiu- lice to either side, and that the whole natter could be tried before him at ome future time. Meanwhile Dr. 3anks has been paid until October L ne salary is $500 year.

 Germany is not disposed to tolerate wanton Interference and issues the warning, Hands off,
 This is generally interpreted as re- tlect1ng the governments attitude.
