My Dear Mr.. Hart-The

You have that right, and l should
be the last to fail to respect it; but,
as 1t is question that involves the
lifelong happiness of two, 1 can not
let your objections pass lightly. 1 am
willing to consider your point of view.
You must consider mine.
If were to tell you WHO l am
a point which seems to cause YOU
much anxiety-it would not tell
WHAT l am, which is more impor-
tant.
AS for the WHO: I am a graduate
of the University, which l know, from
your outlook on life, Is not much in
my favor. You never went to college /;
you achieved success with a common
school education, and, like many men
of your kind, have contempt for the
rah-rah quality of finish the college
gives.
That I was graduated with honors.
therefore, is not in my favor, for
overshadowing that so-called dis
tinction is your prejudice against a
man who lets his father pay his bills
and keep him in school at an age
when you, by your own efforts, had
laid the foundation of your fortune.
To have had wealthy father was
my misfortune. Even you, who so
highly esteem elf-effort can not
blame me for that 1t was also my

State, but as good men proverbially

help. / could tell you that my mother
was an earnest, God fearing woman,
and that l was the greatest joy life
held for her in her declining years,
but mothers have way of finding a
blessing in children whom outsiders
would regard as curse, so her last
letters to me, her last words, would
not relieve the situation.
You say that Mary does not know
what my standing is in this town.
I have been Mayor, but the office of
Mayor is often purchasable; my name
is good at the banks here for any
sum; so Is the name of the towns

GERMAN EMPEROR
PREPARES WEDDING
OF ONLY DAUGHTER
Marriage of Princess Vic
tOria Luise to Prince Ern-
est August Given POliti-
cal Significance

Berlin, May 19.-Preparations for the
wedding on Saturday of Princess Vic
toria Luise only daughter of the Ger
man Emperor. and Prince Ernest August
of Cumberland. give striking prominence
to the Emperors apparent desire to make
the occasion contribute to a betterment
of the relations between Great Britain
and the German empire. Officially the
non-political character of the marriage
has been emphasized, but the real atti-
tude of the Emperor wss illustrated to-
day by the granting of a pardon to three
English spies now undergoing terms of
Imprisonment in Germany.
Another evidence of German concern
In the forthcoming visit of King George
and Queen Mary Is contained in the Off
cial programme, published this evening
in the Norddeutsche Allegemein Zetung,
which prints in a prominent position a
half-column article on the reception ar
rangements for the sovereigns and in a
few lines In another column described
preparations for the reception of En-
peror Nicholas of Russia.
According to the programme, two
will compose the escorts of King George
on his arrival In Berlin Wednesday, while
only one squadron is assigned to escort
Emperor Nicholas the next day.
Political Importance
German newspapers are giving much
attention to the political importance
which the wedding may have in bring
ing about a manifestation OF friendship
between Germany and Great Britain, but
they have little to say concerning a
similar manifestation toward Russia.
Emperor William will spend busy day
on May %. He will make three jour-
neys to the railroad in the two and
half hours in which he will receive sue
cessively the Grand Duchess Louise of
Baden, the Duke and Duchess of Cum
berland and the Emperor of Russia The
visitors will make state entries into the
city and their welcome by the Emperor
will necessitate three changes of uni
forms on his part. Six German SOW
ereigns and representatives of several
other German reigning houses also will
arrive during the day, making necessary
more or less formal receptions, Many
British and Russian police officials ar
rived in Berlin today to supervise ar
rangements for the safety of King George
and Emperor Nicholas.
The nuptal banquet will witness a re-
Vival of the medieval functions of titu-
larry high cup-bearer and butler, which
offices are held by Prince Hatzfeldt and
Prince Badolin, respectively, who actually
will present wine and souvenirs to the
guests at the beginning of the dinner.
