MARK TWAIN ON ROOSEVELT.
Interesting Paper Found Among Late

OBSERVE KAISER'S REIGN
Great Fete Planned to Celebrate 25tI
Year of His Accession.

BERLIN, Dec. 7-Preliminary ar
rangements already in progress indi-
cate the celebration in 1913 of the
twenty-fifth year of Kaiser Wilhelm's
reign will be marked by much pomp
and ceremony.
The most ambitious project yet ad-
vanced contemplates the organi .ation
of great art exhibition to be held in
the year at Berlin.
The kaisers well known interest and
activity in art matters, it is said,
makes such a plan especially fitting.
There are difficulties in the way, for
the only available exhibition hall large
enough for the purpose is unsatisfac-
tory in many respects.

MONGOOSE'S FATE UP TO TAFT
Unique Controversy at Kansas City
Carried to Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. president
Taft, frequently the arbiter of fate
of men, today was called upon to de-
eide whether a mongoose on exhibition
in the Kansas City (Mo) Zoo, and
probably the only one in this country,
should be permitted to live or be
destroyed accordance with the man
date of the law.
H. R. Wamsley, secretary of the
Kansas City Geological society, in a
letter to the president, declared the
animal was unlawfully delivered to
the ZOO by a special agent of the
treasury department, after it had been
seized from Kansas City department
store, on the ground that it was in
this country illegally. He charges
that it is now in incompetent hands
and liable to regain its liberty at any
time, ito the great damage of Am
erican horticultural interests"
The mongroose is pest to bird life
and the law orders all such animals
deported or destroyed
Mr.. Walmsley wants the Kansas
City animal destroyed. The case has
