AS CHINAMAN SEES KAISER
Not Hard to See That This Student Has Sympathy With the
 "All-Highest."

Here are some comments on the kaiser from the pen of a Chinese stu dent, an exchange says:
 "The German kaiser is not the su- periOr man as deciphered by the Chi nese literature; he is surely a mean fellow containing much fraudish cum ming in his deceited heart. The supe- rior man is shown in the merits of excellent heart with much loving kind ness to all peoples; the mean fellow is displayed in the black heart of the unregenerated devils of hell with much loving kindness only to himself.
 "In the history of China was an en- peror who burn the books and slowed the scholars to extinct the civilization of the peaceful inhabitants; but he was not success in this crafty tricks, for the civilizations could never be extinct by such dishonorable barbar- ism means. Now the German kaiser he also awfully wishing to slave the people and extinct the civilizations of the universe; he also destroy the lit- erature books, and the arts, and the ships, and mess the people of allies nations. But he will not sue cess"

To Teach Fruit Ralalnn.

Vice Consul Richard P: Momsen re- ports that the Brazilian government has authorized the establishment of a pOmicultural station in DeOdOro. The work of the station will comprise the production of domestic fruit trees and those foreign types already selected and accllmated, the introduction of in- digenous fruit trees, the study of in- sect pests and methods of combating thenn the study of better methods of packing and transporting plants and fruits, experiments to determine the most successful methods of conserv- Ing fruits and the question of distribut- ing fruits to dealers. The school will be open to students who wish to pur- sue this branch of agriculture and to farmers who wish to observe practical demonstrations of modern pomicultural methods.

oIdeat living we.t Painter.

General Horatio Gates Gibson, the oldest living graduate of West Point, veteran of the Mexican civil and In- dian wars, has just celebrated his 9lst birthday in good health and spirits.
 Among the guests of the soldier on his birthday were a few surviving members of the Aztec Club, which was formed by officers of the service in the city of Mexico seventy-one years ago. There is only a squad of the original members of this club living. Gen. Gibson is one of them and is the organizations president.
 It is probable that this veteran thought as young soldier, after cam paigning from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico under the leadership of Gen. Winfield Scott, that the Mexican war was good deal of war. It is likely, also, after serving as an ar- tillcry chleftaln through the cam paigns from 'G1 to '65, that he thought the civil war was about the biggest thing In the shape of a war that ever happened or could happen. Today, this man of service, 01 years of age. is under the necessity of readjusting his earlier thoughts on the compara- tive magnitude of conflicts between nations.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

CALAIS LONG FAMOUS PORT
Three Nations Have Held City Which the Germans Are Now So Eager
 to Possess.

Since the beginning of the war Calais has been an objective of the German army, It is a familiar name to those who have crossed the 26 miles of nasty chOppy water that lies be- tween Calais and the English port of Dover.
 Fifty years ago Calais was regard ed as a fortress of the first class, but 1t would now probably not be able to defend itself many days against mod ern artillery. In 1346, after the bat tie of Crecy, Calais was besieged by the English King Edward III, holding out resOlutely by the bravery of Jean de Vienne. Its inhabitants were saved from the cruel fate with which Ed ward menaced them by the devotion of seven of its chief citizens. who In turn were themselves spared at the prayer of Queen Phillipa, this event having been commemorated in a wide ly known historical painting.
 Calais remained in the hands of the English until 1558 when it was taken by the duke of Guise, at the head of 30,0O0 men. from an lll-provided Eng fish garrison only 800 strong, after siege of seven days. This loss led to the remark of an English queen, who declared that when she died the word Calais" would be found imprinted on her heart. Calais was held by the Spaniards from 1596 to 159S, but was restored to the French by treaty.
 On the chalk cliffs of Dover stands a gun, several centuries old, on which is engraved the doggerel:
 Feed me well and keep me clean, And I'll send a ball to Calais green"
 This was fiction, but modern artil- lery could easily accomplish the feat.

Birds Get No Fun Out of sInOInU.

"That the singing of birds bears no analogy to the singing of human be- ings, and Is neither tO please them selves nor to please others, is obvious from at least two facts: One is that birds with defective or only half ar- ticulate voices will sing just as joy Ously and consistently as do birds whose instruments are perfect" John Burroughs writes in Harper'S. '1 have witnessed this in the case of the hermit thrush, the bobollnk and the cockerel of the barnyard. The birds of the wood and of the meadow quite ignored their split whistles, and the cOckerel arched his neck and inflated his lungs and went through with the motions of growing just as proudly and repeatedly as did the cock he was challenging"

one Day Too Late,

The average Oklahoma In'lIan is more interested in oil rOyalti,s than in current events. Recently n locally well-knOwn Indian came into Ardmore to cash his quarterly check, and on being approached for Red Cross con- trlbutiOn, asked:
 "What for, Red Cross?'
 Red Cross work was briefly ex- plained. and the Indian came hack with another query. "What war?"
 "Why, the war with the Germans" WAS the answer. Didn't you know America is at war with the Germans?'
 "No," replied the Indian. "How long?"
 The situation was explained at length, and after studying over the matter, the Indian said:
 "TOO bad! Know um yesterday, could help heap. Two Germans by my place, hauling well-rig. Could kill lem easy."-Everybody's Magazine:

 Bert pushed the door open, saying rather coldly: They've called for me. Will you folks nina If tear myself away?" Then, her eyes falling on the afrighted Louise: My, but you're a beauty. Ouida. That ought to be yours. Well, so long; sorry I'm so rushed" And she hurried away, leaving the man and the manikin to talk dry goods to their hearts content.
 Bert met an old-time friend and Q seasoned hiker, Mary Gregory, at the end of the car line, and they trudged off into the country.
 That evening Bert wrote a long, frank, sisterly letter to Mir. Santerre. although she expected to see him at least every day for a few days, ex- plaining in the kindest manner possible that they were unsuited to each other 1; that she could not think of standing in the way of his ambitions, and per suading him to seek a larger field for his unusual talents. She also told him that she and Mary Gregory were going to France to assist in the work that Mir. Henry Allen was trying to do for the Kansas soldiers, winding up with {: "And I'll kiss you goodbye like little sister If you'll get the suit with the pockets ready before l g0."
 In the night she was awakened by a little sob.
 ''Bertie, l feel meaner than dirt ! Aren't you q little sorry?"
 "Sure thing, Oulda, old pard; but it's only wrench, and as time goes by we'll all honor me because had the nerve to do the thing that's going 10 make us all rise up and call me blessed. Mary and are going to look for Dick Gregory over there. He likes to hike, and he-likes corduroy. Now, will you cut out the weepy stuff and go to sleepy"
