experience, there is more TO
cake-baking than merely read

right. A simple way to test the
heat Is TO put a slip Of plain
white paper in the oven. II It
remains white or turns only a

LONDON, Sept. 30.--One Of the best
pen pictures drawn Of Kaiser Wilhelm,
according to those who have known the
War Lord is contained In a book Of
memoirs just published by Miss Anne
ropham, who for some years acted as
English goyerness to the Kaiser's daugh-
ter. The "recollections" of Miss Top
ham contain, besides its pictures Of the
Kaiser himself, number of interest
ing stories Of the Kaiser's court.
From the numerous stories and Incl.
dents in the book IN which His Majesty
figures it is possible to reconstruct
very graphic and by no means unattrac-
tive portrait OF the ruler Of Germany,
alike in his function Of Monarch and
his role Of husband and parent.
The papa" OF the Princess is very
much the Kaiser Of high politics, al
tcrnately gushing and ferocious, always
cocksure. and continually doing indis-
Greet things. Everybody around him Is
kept on the move, or ready to be on the
move next moment; every one with
whom he comes into contact is expected
to be as interesting In everything as he
Is himself.
His son, the Crown Prince, is not more
ftypically the tactless, hustling, grand
lose yet childlilSe, earnest but superficial
Hohenzullern than Is the Kaiser. All
things are plain TO him, not excepting
the mysterious ways of Providence, ali
excepting the Suifragettes. He admits
that he does not understand them.

want the voter he asks; and he threat.

ANTI-SUFFRAGE NOTES

Miss Jane Adams declares there
are no anti-sunragists In Illinoisl
There are, however, 100000 women Of
voting age in Chicago alone who re-
fuse to go to the polls in spite Of all
the urging the suffragists can do.
These 467 900 are. however, all coun-
ted as suffragistsl
The Chicago papers before and af-
ter the recent primaries make very
entertaining reading. The DAY before
they say: "Sufragists estimate be-
tween 100 900 and 125,000 women VIII
vote tomorrow, double the number IN
the February primaries Miss Mar
garet Dobyne, OF the Illinois Equal
Suffrage Association, declared 125,00O
safe estimate. I'VE have concluded
that It is the duty Of the women OF
Chicago to help the men select the
best candidates" she said. Last
February 1887 voted at the pri-
maries. The Democratic woman
vote in the spring was 33,3S1. Mrs.
Joanna +. Downes, president OF the
Illinois Women's Democratic League,
estimates II will be almost double
that tomorrow.
I'VE are better organized" she said.
The Republican women voters num-
bered 10000 last spring. Double that
vote Is predicted tomorrow.
The Progressive showing last
spring was 3,297 women. Miss Har-
/ riet Vittum expects an increase Mrs.
Martha Abt declared the Progressive
women would vote in full force to-
morrow.
The Woman's City Club has urged
its members to vote at the primaries.
But alas for the prophetsl There
is a slight discrepancy of more than
$4,000 between their hopes and the
real figures. or the $4,000 women

It is going to cost $4,000 to con-
