Keeper Of the 'Kaiser's Conscience

10 ERLIN. June 21.-(specialD-IIis ex-
cellency. Ernest Dryander, men,
- ber of Prussia's house of lords,
knight of the Red Eagle. who has just
married 'the little princess has received
affectionate kilograms from Kaiser Will
helm. from the Kaiserin, from the crown
prince. from everyone else who counts.
The occasion is his SEVENTEEN birthday.
Excellency Drysander is the important
man who keeps the Kaiser's conscience.
He is Wilhelm's intimate counsellor in all
problems of the soul. He is further, ex-
ecutive officer In court religious cere-
monies. In 2s years he has christened 1s
Hohenzollerns, confirmed eight, married
12 and buried five; and he has further
cured the soul of the pious Kaiserin. and
generally run energetically the spiritual
affairs of Berlin Schloss.
Excellency Dryander became chief Of
Prussian clerics and keeper of the Kai-
ser's conscience against his own deter
mined will. He painted for an humble
life. He was born son of holy Rev.
Hermann Dryander, and his mother was
sister of Minister Delbrueck, Bismarcks
chief henchman in inner politics. Per-
haps the mothers high relatives helped
Dryander against his will, for he started
church life as assistant preacher at Ber-
lin cathedral Next he went to Bonn as
chaplain of the university.
There Excellency Dryander met his fate.
Among Bonn's students was thin, i'll
grown, bright-eyed imperious youth with
an unstudentlike passion for listening to
parsons 1t was the future Wilhelm II.
The future Wilhelm Ii. heard, saw and
was conquered by Dryanders eloquence.
And soon Dryander. again against his
will. was dragged to Berlin to preach
at Trinity church, the church of the great
protestant theology. And In 1898 when the
post of Cathedral Ephorus and court
chaplain became vacant, bright-eyed
Prince Wilhelm, now German Kaiser, in
sisted that Dryander should take it.
Dryander thus began by winning the
Kaiser. He next set out to win the Kali
serin. Piety, unmixed piety, with no
tinctupe of worldliness, or politics, or
personal ambition, is the foible of Kali
serin Augusta Victoria; and Dryander
met her here, for in Kaiserin Augusta
Victorias own words, "The Rev. DIR.
Dryander is the holiest man in Prussia"

bond which unites the two Is charity.
Dryander is great organizer of charity.

she should reform her charities, and put

Red river near Baers ferry, four
miles north OF Denison His homo is
at Colbert, and his mill is on the Ok
lahoma side. Friday Mr.. Franklin was
walking through the bottoms near his
mill and encountered the huge rattler
summing himself. The enormous size
of the serpent impressed Mr. Frank
lin and he hurried hack to the mill,
where he procured lasso. Returning
1 70 the place where he found the rep
iile he found his snakeship very angry,
standing almost erect and rattling his
buttons with great noise. The sawmil
man is an expert with rope aild with
little effort placed the moose end over
the head of the rattler Then came
the battle royal. The snake. realizing
that he was trapped. attempted 70

Franklin carefully avoided him. Tight
ening the moose he eventually choked
the serpent until he could get hold of
its tail. Then he dragged the snake 20
the mill, where 1t was weighed and
placed in a strong box.
Mr.. Franklin carried the big snake

tion as to the marketing of the reptile.
