elephants, the Kaiser paused and said 'It is strange that scholars are not unan- imous on the question whether Hannibal used African or Indian elephants when he crossed the Alps" The animal trainer l,azarded the opinion that they were African because, he said, the African elephants are better workers than the Indians. T don't think so,' remarked the Kaiser because African elephants ca mot be trained" A long controversy ensued and eventually his majesty made d wager that the trainer could not train an African elephant in 24 hours. Unfor- tunately for the imperial dignity the trainer won the bet.
 The favorite pastime of the Kaiser is giving small grandsons small riding les sons He treats these little boys with far more consideration than he bestowed on his own sons when he essayed to initiate them into horsemanship. With them he was stern preceptor, and if they. were not attentive to his instruc- tions up went the whip he always car ried.

POPE HONORS NUN

Milan, December 2-- Especially )-Pope Pits X. has addressed an autograph letter of admiration to an aged Swiss nun named Frey, who during half a century of cloistered life in the Cistercan abbey at Viterbo has gained extraordinary re- pute as a clairvoante.
 Sister Frey, who is now 79 years of age, is by her own desire celebrating the golden jubilee of a sad injury of her spinal cord, which, since 1861, has kept her perpetually in bed In such state that she is unable to move her head. The gift of prophecy and second sight wherewith she is credited has long brought continuous stream of bishops. cardinals and noble ladies to visit her in her convent cell, where the special dis pensation of the Pope mass is allowed to be celebrated.

GERMAN POLICIES

 Monarch, in Reality LADY OF THE LAKE, Late Empress Elizabeth of Bavaria Writes of Superstitious Ghost.
 kaiser's Remarks Raise
 Storm of Indignation
LADY OF THE LAKE,
By MALCOLM CLARK

Berlin, December 2.-(SpeciaD One world wide result of the Morocco epi- sode, the influence of which it would be hard to over estimate, is the strong prob ability that it will result in real con stitutional monarchy for the German em- pire
 Nominaliy Germany Is a constitutional monarchy; as matter of cold fact the Kaiser up to this time has been as much of an absolute monarch as has the Czar of Russia, considering the difference in temperament of the two Emperors, Will helm really has been more of ruler by divine right than Nicholas
 The ministers who conduct the busi- fore and are now in. fact, responsible to the Kaiser and not to the reichstag Now German statesmen of nearly all parties are fast reaching an agreement that the ministers of the Emperor should be responsible not to the Kaiser in last resort, but to the reichstag.
 Their convictions do not grow out of lack of confidence in the Kaiser's general judgment or a belief that his policy is SeIlouSly DaSeu Dy pfeJuulce or paSSlOn. The principal advocates of ministerial re- sponsibiity to the reichstag are second to none in praising his firm stand for peace throughout his reign and his in- tense desire to serve his people.
 Developments of the last few years, however, have made clear to thoughtful Germans the expedency Of broadening the foundation of government, which, as the Cologne Gazette" says, ought not. to be or to suggest in these modern times a pyramid resting on it's apex.
 Such indiscreet exhibitions of feeling as that of. Grown Prince Frederick Will liam during pr. von Bethmann- Holweg's B explanation of the Moroccan Congo trea- ty have increased the feeling that the sweeping constitutional notifications con- templated ought to be worked during the reign of the present emperor.
 Dr. Bebel and the socialists long have urged ministerial responsibility to par liament, rather than to the Kaiser solely; and during the campaign for the next reichstag their propaganda. on that score bids fair to gather adherents from all parties. "

When woman invaded the sacred

bank the NOTED question OF femin-
inc capacity for breadth of response
