His wife Fanny interrupted and al

Judge Hopkins ruled for fair play
and let James start all over again.

KAISER NOT SERIOUSLY ILL.,
THAT'S OFFICIAL NEWS

Berlin, via Amsterdam, Jan. 49,
The United Press today was officially
authorized to deny rumors circulated
in foreign countries that the kaiser
is seriously i'll. 81. ..
The emperor's illness has at no
time been serious, it was stated 1t
was necessary for him to remain in
his rooms at the palace for only a
few days.
He is now improved to such an ex-
tent that he is holding daily mill

Bessie Levy married Abe Levy, $40

yards, because she wanted home
and she thought Abe was a hand

when he gave her 81 week and
evinced a terrible desire for food she
quit him at the end of the month
and frankly said she ought to have
quit him the day she married him.

New York, April 11.-According to
Mrs. Eleanor Lambert, psychic and
eugenist, who prophesied the pres

Europe is being populated with
ghosts that folk over there will never

their little souls by vibrations from

from death.
Among my friends is a veteran of
the civil war whose life was saved
again and again by his following the

the ridicule of his companions, he re-
fused to be guided by her, and as a
result he suffered a severe wound.

Military bands first came into exist
 ence about 1885. in the reign of Charles II. That monarch had partiality for music. Anyhow. it was he who by q royal warrant which he issued in that year authorized the employment of twelve musicians in the company of the ing's regiment of foot guards in London" Furthermore. in order to SC cure higher pay for the musicians than was granted to the other Tommies of that day the merry monarch very "hon
 estly" directed that a fictitious name should be borne on the strength O. each of the other companies Of the reg iment quartered in the country" The money received for the payment of these Tommies who did not exist was then divided among the bandsmen. a simple if not very straightforward ar engagement eertainly.-London Globe.

Lost His Job.
 A. T. Stewart was shown one day by one of his confidential employees an amusing caricature of himself done in pencil.
 Good. goodr' he laughed. That's excellent. Who did it?''
 "A young salesman at the linen coun- ter. He scratched 1t off as you passed the other morning. l managed to get it from him, and now he's scared stiff for fear you'll see it." was the laughing reply.
 Scared stiff, is he?" said Mir. Stew art. with a twinkle in his eye. "Just send him to me, will you?''
 A little later a slim youth entered MT. Stewards private office and said he understood he had been sent for.
 Yes" said Mir Stewart gravely and, holding up the sketch. asked. Did you do this?"
 The lad grew pale and stammered: Il beg your pardon. sir. It was only a bit of fun. 1 meant no offense.'
 That's all very we'll, but you'll have 10 give up your job here."
 The youth humbly protested, when MT. Stewart burst out laughing and said: Don't say any more. my boy. I'm only joking. Your sketch Is excel lent. and as it would be sin to keep a man of your artistic talent behind a linen counter I propose to supply you with the means to study art.''
 Mir. Stewards proposition was grate- fully accepted, and it was thus that John R. Rogers. the sculptor. began his artistic career.

Marks.
The Young Mems Hebrew and
