A cHATTY LETTER FROM EDDY.

Dear Sisters and Friends: Some time has elapsed since I wrote last but sickness and lack of ambition have prevented me writing before.
 During my convalescent days I wrote up a story. trying to find Married and Happy; she hadn't written in so long a time I thought something dreadful must have happened to her. I found her at Ready's, sitting on the woodbox. drinking a cup of tea out of a new Social Corner cup and saucer; but had dreadful time finding her. traced her to Maine Lover's first. She told me where to go. and after what seemed to me long, long time I found her; but I had to steal Theoda's auto to get there.
 I am sorry the Editor disapproved of printing it. but I am going to Married and Happys in a few days and I am going to let her read it.
 In writing letters where one hasn't g. writing desk. just get large sheet of plotting paper. You can get & sheet IS inches wide and 20 inches long for five cents in any box shop; and lay # on the table and you will be surprised to see the b1ots that will show up on it from writing.
 Here are few hints on cooking:

ALL YOU NEED IS A
 CASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach, Coated Tongue or COnStipated
 Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out--the headache, the bilousness, the indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets.
 Millions of man and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by laz9 liver, clogged bowels or an upset stomach.
 Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate your stomach: remove the sour, undi- gested and fermenting food and that misery making gas; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out of the sysem all the constipated waste matter and poison in the intestines and bowels Then you will feel great.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Children love to take Cas- carets because they taste good never grippe or sicken.

There he declared, in the spirit which is strengthening the orthodoxy of the Evangelical National Church although Frederick II was the friend of Voltaire and an adversary of all priesthoods, that the fighting down of Napoleon was chiefly the "act of God without whose aid all human effort would be useless.
 These arguments made by the Kaiser himself are most certainly not very well chosen as preliminares to a demand for a stronger army.
 Prince Buelow knew what he was doing when after the famous inter- view in the London Daily Telegraph he made the Kaiser promise to keep his mouth shut, and the German mili- tary authorities are wishing he had kept it shut few months longer.

BILL WILL KILL
 MUCH RED TAPE
PROVIDES FOR IMMEDIATE SET. ELEMENT OF CLAIM AGAINST
 UNITED STATES.
Uncle Sam's Workers Will Have Better Chance to Record Sums
 for Personal Damages.
(Bv Jonathan Winfield.D )

Washington, March 15.-Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, who holds the newest portfolio in the cab inet, is tchampioning bill which is designed to do away with the hard ships that arise out of claims against the government. Wilson introduced the bill in the house just before the end of the last session of congress and just before he became a member of the Wilson cabinet. The difficulty ! of collecting claim against the gov ernment, no matter how meritcrious it may be, has long been. well known in Washington, although very little publicity has been given to the hard ships arising out of this situation.
 If man has his eyes blown out while working, in a government ar senal or powder factory, or loses an arm or leg while operating gov ernment machine, or even if he just loses his tools in fire on government property-all of these things happen | quite frequent1y--it may take him years to collect from congress ade- quate compensation for the injuries he has suffered in spite of the fact that nobody ever questions the lla- bility of the government.
 1 When such an accident takes plac 3 the victim, probably being ignorant of his rights in the matter or not know 1 ing how to go about it to collect this 1 money, goes to consult a lawyer. The i lawyer takes his case and then hunts up congressman, who introduces a i bill providing for the compensation, which the victim or his lawyer thinks he ought to have. The bill is referred to the house committee on claims or the senate committee on claims, if the matter be brought up in the upper house.
 The committee on claims after a long and weary consideration of the matter reports the claim favorably tc 
 congress. The bill is then put on the private calendar or some other calen- dar, where it is subject to the varyine whims of congressman or senators l There are about two days month when such bills are considered and frequently the objection of single member blocks consideration of the whole business. This may mean de lay of a month or year. Then, as rule. when the bills are considered il the house very few members are present. Generally the only ones present are the ones who have bills

One can mistake other things for a rattler, but those having heard it once never mistake rattle for anything else. It is about as uncomfortable a moment as I know to be standing in thick brush or tall grass and hear the rattler and be unable to locate it. A friend from Philadelphia and myself killed the grand-daddy snake of them all this summer in our tent. l held him with broom while she Whacked him on the head with the 'snaker.' He was whopper, with nine rattles, and was certainly a wicked looking visitor when he coiled up to fight"

THE GRAPH|C'S WEEKLY LETTER
 FROM THE GERMAN CAPITAL

pondent and this new correspondent has made the statement of the angry farmers the basis of an article about the Kaiser, which will be widely read and which Wilhelm does not like at all to see reproduced in translation in that part of the German Press, which cannot be muzzled
 The errars made by the kaizer,' the French correspondent writes, "are more amusing than they are serious. The fact that the imperial orator has been giving wrong information about his crops, his horses and cattle in itself really means nothing at all, but it is not reasonable to suppose that when the Kaiser is wrongly informed about conditions on his own personal estate his knowledge on far more i'm portant points may be found equally inaccurate.
 William II does not read any news EdUtIS, Dul Olly Ccl Ldlll EllppluSS which are prepared and arranged for him. May we not be permitted to suppose that all the Kaiser's good in tentions, all his thoughts and ideas are forced on the basis of false infor- nation furnished by his surroundings?
 We had a certain proof of this not so very long ago. The Kaiser had been told that if he sent gunbOat to Agadir, France would be scared and give in all points. He had been told that England would not take sides with France and that Russia would advise France against a con- flict with Germany After having received this information Kaiser William consented to send the gun boat Panther" to Aga1ir
 ''On these various points the Kaiser was badly informed, and if so, may we not ask ourselves if the German people also are not badly informed?'
 And the French correspondent goes on to prove that German politicians are no more conscientious in mould ing and transforming truth than politicians generally are.
 A French newspapers Berlin cor respondent has helpe'! to set the German people thinking, he has open hntY~ nd thn L ni nV boasted about the number of his COWS it is possible that the people may decide that he shall not have as many soldiers to boast of, as he thought when asked for an increase of the German army.
 There is another reason why the new army demands .may not have smooth sailing. The Kaiser has once more begun to make political speeches and when an impulsiye man like tie Kaiser makes patriotic spec Ines. which are not prepared beforek and, he is bound to say foolish things and recently the Kaiser has said foolish things.
 Speaking at Koenigsberg, where the war of liberation" for the Prussian ".Iunkers' began after Napoleon's dis asterous JRusaian campaign. the Kaiser declared that it was not mili- tary force but moral power which van uuished Napoleon 100 years ago. 1t was, he declared, the liberal reforms of the Ministers Stein and Jarden- berg, as much as the lberating act ions of the King ill the field, that reused the enthusiasm of the people.

 Berlin, March 15-Evidently the new friendly relations between the Prince Wilhelm, are more than mere armistice, arranged as many people Q her thought merely with the kaiser's approaching jubilee in view. for the young prince is suddenly showing as new side of his charac- ter. While he formerly i'll the most oSen manner neglected his military duties and seemed to care for nothing but social pleasure, he has now un- Mpectedly begun to take pronounced interest in all military matters and is almost daily inspecting barrack sampling the food of the private sold CTS and attending military drills either alone or in company with his august father, whose face beams with pleasure whenever they are seen to- gether.
 Now that the old quarrel has been forgiven and forgotten people are once more wondering as they did years ago, what the real reason was which first caused the long estrange- mert and people who intend to have reliable information are asserting that it was a woman, and an American woman at that, who came between father and son.
 If we are to believe these people. and some of them are too high up to be considered mere scandal mongers, the Kaiser and his amorously inclined son were both smitten with the charms of a young American opera prima donna, who did not like to discourage the attentions of either, with the awful result that one day as the Grown prince unexpectedly ar rived at the singers apartments with a magnificent floral offering the door was opened by the Kaiser who had visited the charming young lady in visited the charming young lady in fat was hopelessly in the fire.
 The Kaiser has ever reason to wish that he had not recently boasted of his success as a farmer, for entirely disregarding his high position the farmers of Germany have gone for him with the fearlessness of swarm of infuriated bees and have torn all his boasting statements into shreads.
 My rye is the best in the whole country the Kaiser said, people come from everywhere to look at it.
 Nonsense" cry the farmers near Karinen, ''the so-called Kaiser rye" has been grown by every one of us for more than twenty years.
 q have so many horses and so many COWS in my stables" the Kaiser said, but the farmers of the neighbor- hood say thatt he figures mentioned by the Kaiser are absolutely wrong and that the imperial stables do not contain half as many horses or heads of cattle"
 My milk contains the highest per- ,eentage of cream of any in the Coun- try" said the Kaiser, but the farmers say that the Kaiser has not the slight est idea of what he is talking about his milk is certainly no better than anyone's else.
 The Kaiser at first was satisfied to let the farmers talk, for what Ger mans would take their word i'll prefer ence to his? But he is feeling greatly "LeMatin'' has new Berlin cores
