EMPEROR WILLIAM, THE KAISER.

Whether we only dislike him. or simply
hate him and enjoy saying so. does not
prevent US from getting acquainted with
the story of his life nor does it cloud
our vision when we know who he is
and has been for more than three years
the most notable figure on the eastern
hemisphere. That he is giant in mind
goes without saying. and his ambition
is fully gratified in one direction, for he
is the terror of his age without question
But he is near of kin to the most
powerful rulers of his time in Europe
He and King George. of England. had
the same grandmother, Queen Victoria.
HIS mother and the mother of the de-
posed czarina of Russia were own Sis
tiers, and his close relationship to those
two seems 20 have made him more &C
tive IN forcing both into this bloody
war.
He is related by blood to many others
of so-called royal families. Kinship APP
pears to make him more determined 70
kill them off.
He is like Forquin the prince who.
when asked to state his royal pleasure
replied he always cut down the allest
oppies in his garden
So the kaiser treats his kinfolks. They
They must come under and bow to him.
If he should chance to overrun Rus
STA and govern the people-it is doubt
ful if would reinstate his cousin-on the
throne.
Yet he was brought up with her in
Germany after her mother had married
German princelet a good many years
ago.
Emperor William was his own moth
rer's greatest santa gonist-during hi
fathers life and in the years that sue
ceeded his death. 1t was daily strug-
gle-bitter TO the end. Death alone
ceased the controversy between son and
mother. His father died of cancer and
II is said the mother had it. His
chances are towards the malady.
If he should suddenly die by disease
or by acident-the bottom would drop
out" and the war would cease. He is
in a class by himself. He assumes to
be a rising sun in Europe. Maybe he
will finally be only a comet.

JOE REDDY LOSES FIERCE
FIGHT WITH TOMBSTONE
WeknolUn Police Character Challenges Marker to Deadly
Combat, but Is Unable to Score Knockout

The tired feet of the well-known
police character, Joe Reddy. seldom
wander far from his own narrow
and well-beaten path between the
police station, county Jail and GER
tain points en- route where Joe steps
aside for liquid refreshments.
However, Joe wandered far enough
from his beat on Tuesday night to
challenge u tombstone in the Har-
risburg Cemetery. engage it in per-
sonal combat and then be forced to
take the count, ten days, at the
hands of Referee James Il. De-
Shong. An officer on his beat near
the cemetery heard the familiar
voice of Joe declaring himself, but
the noise evidently came from the
tombs. Joe is so well known to the
police that his demise would be in
stantly heralded even to the out
posts and the officer in question had
heard no such tidings, so immedi-
ately investigated.
Picks Out Ono His Size
Drawing near to the voice he at
first believed Joe to be in combat
with at least a half dozen high
waymen. but closer investigation
showed Joe stripped of his coat ad-
dressing a tombstone of his own
height in no uncertain terms. Not
wishing to interrupt the little scene
the officer allowed Joe to continue
undisturbed.
His familiar Scotch-Irish kept ex-
claiming as he circled his opponent,

little nearer. Come on and fight
like a man" was Joe's next banter
when he received no reply. Still that
silent opponent made no reply and
Joe knew from former experience
that a. quiet man was not to be
fooled with. Nevertheless he was
anxious to get the thing started in
the right way and give the other
fellow a chance at retribution.

Come on and fight like the mon

won't ye, we'll take this, and that,
and also this" he shouted as he
dealt several telling blows on the
calm white surface of the stone with
his open palms.
Still that quiet, white figure faced
him. We'll" yelled Joe, as he came
back for another round, if ye won't
fight, I'll floor ye. and knock a few
Marquis O. Quainsbury inter yer
blockhead." Joe took a flying tackle
and graSped his combatant with
both arms as he dug his toes into
the ground to press it's shoulders to
the mat.
The officer, thinking Joe was go
ing far enough. took him into Gus
tody and back to his familiar path,
the police station and the Jail for the
night. If nothing happens Joe will
spend the next ten nights there and
again be ready to remind the alder
man that he has a good job in Camp
Hin that he will lose if he isn't
given another chance to keep
straight.
