Kaiser Wilhelm and
King George Quarrel

LONDON, May liking George and
Kaiser Wilhelm parted. company with
relations somewhat strained. The King
let the German Emperor leave for home
without shaking hands. A cold and for
NAL bow was the farewell salutation of
Eng1ands King to the Emperor and
Empress Of Germany.
The German royal party left London
at the Victoria Station, and King
George, with members of his suite, came
to see his German cousin off But as
the two sovereigns walked from the
royal reception room to the platform,
they were seen in heated argument,
King George being apparently the more
irate.
Suddenly King George began talking
to the Duke of Connaught and per-
mitted the Kaiser to enter his car with
out a word. A few minutes later King
George entered the car, bowed gravely,
and at once departed. None who saw
the incident believes King Georges ac-
tions significant of anything other than
intense feeling.

Tries in Vain to Put
Life in Mans Dead Body

LYNN, Mass, May H.-Prof. Erhu
Thomson, millionaire electrical inventor,
and director of the General Electric
Company, tried to bring back to life
by electricity last night the dead body
of Francis Leary, who had been killed
two hours before by an electric shock.
Leary, who lived in Lexington and
was twenty-one years old, was elec-
trocuted in q mysterious way while re-
pairing arc lamps. He fell to the floor
and died within ten minutes.
The inventor said he believed that a
high frequency current of electricity
raised to an extremely. high voltage
would start action In the boys heart
after life seemed to be extinct as a re-
suit of ordinary direct current of mod
crate voltage. He applied the electrodes
TO the surface of Leary's skin nearest
tn sensory nerves, which lead most di-
rectly to the heart and applied the cur
rent. For five minutes he kept the ma
chine going. giving the maximum OF
current and voltage, but not spark of
- life appeared.

WOULD-BE BUYERS
CAUSE TROUBLE ON !.
AUTOMOBILE ROW
Joy Riders, Pretending to
Purchase Car; Work"
Statesmen for Rides.

Prospective buyers of automobiles
rcant to be shown what the machine
will do. The buyer wants to know how
the car picks I'D on high. how it can
climb a hill. how it is controlled in con-
gested business sections. and thou
sand little points that only can be an
swered by means of actual demonstra-
ton.
That ''show-me' disposition gave
birth to the demonstration which has
made life a burden to the automobile
dealer. largely because the privilege Is
abused. Now every one in the trade is
familiar with the person who shops
along automobile row. probably With no
intention whatsoever CT buying, but
''sponging'' on the trade for free rides,
taking up the time of the dealer and
putting him to needless expense. There
are many such persons in Washington.
All kinds Of schemes have been tried
to kill off the JOY rider, but few have
been successful. Nowadays it is hard
to tell who intends buying a car. judg-
ing by personal appearance. With the
farmers buying so freely, even the most
poorly dressed person who wanders into
q motor car SaleSroom may be pos
SeSsed OF roll OF bills which he is pre-
pared to exchange for car. Therefore.
It behooves the salesman to be dip
lomatic. The joy-rider knows this and
takes advantage Of 1t. Now the dealers
have TO match their brains with his and
try to outstTip him in cunning. Differ
ent methods are taken to do this, but 1t
yet remains to discover one that fills
every bill. 1t would seem, however, as
II the New York agents have hit upon
something that will act as sort OF a
brake on the joy-rider.
The New Workers have banded to-
gether and decided to fight against long
demonstrations. Now they will ask
those who ask for trips of 100 or $50
miles to make a deposit first that will
cover the expense of such a trip in case
the sale is not made. If the customer
buys the car, then the deposit will be
credited to the customer.
It would seem as II these long demon
trations are useless, for nowadays no
cne at all Versed in motoring lore doubts
the stamina of the average car. 1t is
only on the fine points that the wise
purchaser wishes to be informed, and
these he ought TO be able to learn in a
short trip of twenty to twenty-five
miles. Such a trip will show the power
and Quietness of the motor and the
easy riding qualities of the, car itself.

THE BOY AND THE GUN.

Each season brings its own sport or
pastimes, game or fad for the boys
The autumn and winter are the sea-
sons when many boys hunt or shoot a
great deal, says the Omaha Bee. This
should be the time, then, for the reit-
Grafton of that old warning about the
Neutrality-suspicious. accident.
Boys should be careful with their
shooting irons, and never fail to know
whether they are loaded or not. Two
boys were out shooting few days
ago and one, thinking his gun was
empty. aimed 1t at the other and
pulled the trigger. The" other dropped
dead. 81 didn't know it was loaded,
walled the one who killed him, ecno-
ing the wall of scores of others VINO
had at sometime been as criminally
negligent as himself. No boy or man
has right to aim firearm at an
other person, and when he does IT,
whether harm comes of 1t or not, ne
should be made to feel that he has
done something he should not. Par
ents can we'll afford to deny guns and
pistols to their boys until they have
reached such ages as will make them
capable of realizing their dangers. II
they must have guns, they should be
cautioned against careless use OF
them. 1t sometimes seems trite to
speak of warning boys against such
things, but IL they were warned often
enough such distressing accidents
would be fewer.

CAT THAT DID NOT COME BACK

spring. And suddenly, like a cata-
mount launching upon its prey, Tom
hurtled through the air. But athe rat
saw him just in time, and tumbled

yer King.
Hunger had apparently made Tom
reckless. Into the bear den he sprang.
and skurried across the floor after the
rat. And then Silver King took part
in the chase. The keepers say that
probably Silver King only wished to
play. But after the cat, which was
after the rat, went the big polar bear.
And into the cave of Silver King
went the three animals.
A moment passed, and out from the
cave ran the rat. The cat was close
behind. Silver King was still bringing
up the rear. but gaining fast.
At the edge of the bear tank the
chase ended. One of Silver Kings
big paws came down squarely upon
poor Toms back, and Toms nine lives
passed out in a twinkling. The rat,
of course, escaped. One Of the keep.

But the cat is not. And If you doubt

Should curiosity, or skepucism,
prompt you to inquire about the cat,
the keeper will tell you that his grave
is down under one Of the big oak trees
near the duck pond.
Every one who has visited the zoo
recently knows all about Silver King.
He's the very first thing to which the
keepers call your attention. But the
