When the Kaiser Was Peeved.

Between the German Emperor and
his brother, Prince Henry. there Is n
relation which reminds one strongly
of the two brothers in 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 lntrusted with
delicate missions on behalf of Germany
Born In 1862, Prince Henry married
in 1883 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
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
telegrams 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: Il learn from the sui
tan that your wife has had n SON."

The next morning both OF them

smoke. Hewes and the mayor excused
themselves from each other, each de-
claring he had some business to at
tend to. Hewes thought he was safe
and walked past the hotel cigar stand.
but just as he was about to buy he
saw the mayors eyes turned in his ai-
rection. Hewes left the hotel, walked
a few blocks, bought a cigar and en-

The seare.Head Manager.

OF DR.. Talcott Williams. the bril-
liant and erudite editor who is to di-
rect the Pulitzer School Of Journalism,
a Philadelphia reporter said the other
day:
'Dr. Williams is no friend to Jour
nalism of the flashy, ill-informed,
scarehead type that panders to the
lowest taste. Pointing one day to a
very silly scarehead. he said it re-
minded him of a theatrical manager
off in a backwoods town.
"An actor suggested to this man
ager a week of 'Othello.'
"'Any murders in it?' the manager
asked.
"'Yes, two murders and suicide
was the reply.
""All right said the manager.
Call 1t 'Othello's Double and Suicide
(Not Just 'Othello' that's too tame),
and reckon we can count on a pretty
good weeks rum"
