Emperor William on Temperance.

Nothing has surprised than the.
pudiation OF Mr.. Henry Watterson by his old
chum, Emperor William OF Germany. Plainly
the Emperor has not read MI. Watterson's Mum
fch letter; he had not read Mr.. Watterson's ad-
dress in Louisville to the German American Al
lance. when he congratulated them upon the
preservation OF certain of the traditions and
customs of their fatherland and closed with
these fearsome words:
Damned be the soul of fanaticism; palsied
the hand OF the fanatic that seeing the happy
simplicity and the virtuous light heartedness
would invoke the devils spirit Of prescription
or raise>fa voice to say God forbid -
We had gotten the idea from reading Mr.
Watterson's Munich letter that all the rivers of
fch beer and that. under the Emperors en-
coura cement, the people Of Germany had given
up drinking anything else: that all the greatness
OF Germanys conquests, all the achievements of
Germany's scientific spirit, all the progress of
the German Empire were due to the breweries
and to beer drinking beautifully described
and now manifestly so greatly exaggerated, In
Mr.. Wattersons pastoras from Munich.
The Emperor William says dispatch from
Berlin, seldom misses opportunity of warm
ing German students to moderate their drinking
habits. Several days ago. upon the occasion OF
presenting flag to the gymnasium at kassel
where he was prepared for the university he
made brief address to the students of the SEN
ior class advising them when in University
to less alcohol.
The traditional drinking CUSTOMS" he said
were no longer adapted 20 time In which
Germany struggle for its position in the

often been impressed he said. by their ability
German students, said the Emepror, must give
more attention to sports of all kinds, including
new records by the amount of beer that they
can swallow.-Louisville Post

As the Girls Used to Appear.

Sterling (Kar) Journal
Backward, turn backward, oh,
lime in your flight, and give
us a maiden dressed proper and
right. We are so weary of
switches and rats. Wads of
jute hair in horrible pile,
stacked on their heads to the
height of mile. Something is
wrong with the maidens we
fear. Give us the girls as they
used to appear. Give US the
girlies we once knew of yore,
whose curls didn't come from a
hair dressing store. Maidens
who dressed with a sensible
view. And just as Dame Ma.
ture intended them to. Give
us a girl with figure her own,
and fashioned devinely by Ma
ture alone. Feminine styles
getting fiercer each year-Oh,
give US the girls as they used
to appear.
