holes in the wall rocks. There is no
law against killing them. There are
lots OF them killed. and sometimes
caught In traps.
Their hides are worth six dollars
each.
There were three in draw just be-
low our, house last night, barking as
loud as they could. They sure make
scarey sound.

BERLIN OF THE EIGHTIES
Some Pleasant RecoIIections Of Der

and Grandson.

At that time Berlin was much less
than half it's present size. The popu.
lation was probably 100000, and as
there were some 10000 soldiers sta
toned in and about Berlin, one who
had never seen a military officer in
his life, except in a parade of the
militia on Decoration day, met these

again for the first time, a different
view Of the state and of government
to any that he had come in contact
with at home.
New and interesting experiences
awaited him at every turn, writes
President Nicholas Butler of Column
bia in Scribner's. Emperor William
I, der alte kaiser, as he was affec.
tionately called by the populace, was
to be seen every morning in the win
dow of his working room at the pal
ace, at the corner of what was then
called the Opera Platz. 1t was the
custom of his majesty to return by a
gracious gesture every greeting from
one who might pass his window, and
to rise in his place and formally salute
whenever a body of troops, however
small, passed by. The crown prince,
who was, after nearly a decade, to
come to the throne for a few short
weeks as Emperor Friedrich III, was
the very ideal Of manly dignity and
beauty, and seemed to incarnate in his
own person the attributes and tradi-
tions of royalty. His eldest son, now
and for more than quarter, of CEN
tury past the German emperor, was
an officer Of the garrison. He was
frequently seen driving or riding about
the city, and came into familiar con-
verse with a considerable group of
young men, among whom occasionally
an American student was included.
The daily sight Of royalty and of the
imperial trappings and ceremonies
gave to the institution reality that
it had never before had in the Amer
leans mind.
