Perhaps he is a little too honest with you, showing you that you have touched the right chord in his heart. Many young girls only like the young men who arc hard to attract.

 Who wrote tste poem 'tfieeh Der Kaissr7D What army or navy officer Msae it who got into trouble by recie- ing #
 The following Information concern ing the authorship of 'Hcch Der Kaiser. is from the Toronto Star:
 The poem has been printed with the name Of Robert Blake appended, but he was not the author Of it. It was written in October 1897, by A. M. R. Gordon, then Of the Montreal Her ald, and was printed in that paper. We notice that the British Weekly and the Glasgow Weekly Herald of recent dates credit the poem to Alexander Macgregor Rose, native of TDmin- toul, Bannshire, who studied for the ministry of the Free church at Aber- deeh university and was in due time ordained to the ministry of the church at Evie4and Kendall, in the Orkney is lands. Meeting with financial reverses, he emigrated to Canada and engaged in Journalistic work at Edmonton, winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal, where he died in 1898. The poem has. also been credited to the late Rear Ad- nntral Coghlan of thes United States navy, who recited the verses at pr1- vate dinner of the Union League club in New York It was said that the kaiser was deeply offended, but 1t aft erward appeared that he laughed ove : the incident and made no representa- tion tegarding it to Washington.
