When the Kaiser Was Peeved.

Between the German Emperor and
his brother, Prince Henry, there is
relation which reminds one strongly
of the two brothers " Thackeray's
THE Virginians." Henry is the sailor
prince of the Fatherland. though he
has a rival in his nephew, Prince
Adalbert For long he has repre-
sented his imperial brother, and again
and again he has been intrusted with
delicate missions on behalf of Germany
Born in 1862, Prince Henry married
in 1888 his cousin, Princess Irene OF
Hesse, and, in consequence, is broth
er-in-law to the czarina of Russia. His
facial appearance closely resembles
that of the Russian monarch, who Is a
living image of King George of Eng
land.
Talking of these family matters re-
calls a good story told about the kaiser
when he became a grandfather. He
was in the yacht Hohenzollern off
Norway at the time, and only heard
the news indirectly. Angry at not re-
ceiving a wire from home, he went
ashore and there found a big pile of
kilograms conveying congratulations
The first one opened was from the de-
throned sultan of Turkey, Abdul Ha-
mid, and he Immediately wired to his
heir-apparent: 81 learn from the sui
tan that your wife has had son.

The United States District Attorney
at Denver, Colo, has caused the ar

mail clerk for carrying outside the
mails a mailable packet, not first

This is under the law which makes
1t unlawful for any person concern

trary to law any letter of packet"
But this same district attorney is
not prosecuting the express trust for
carrying millions Of such packets"
In violation Of the very next section
OF the criminal law which SAYS:
Whoever shall establish any private
express for the conveyance Of letters
or packets, or In any manner cause
or provide for the conveyance of the
same" may be imprisoned not more
than six months"
For violating the law once, a rail-

doing the same thing millions of
times yearly, the express trust not
