a pledge to spend much in direction

STOLE FORTY THOUSAND .. esd
TO BUY DOGS FOR KENNEL

Dallas, Texas.-E. E. Pollard teller
of one of the strongest financial in
stitutions, here, loved dogs. In fact
his admiration for thoroughbreds was
such that he established one Of the
finest kennels in the state. 1t took
money to keep this kennel going and
bring new dogs to his fold. This may
explain why some of the bank funds
began to disappear.
This went right along for several
months at the rate of from $500 to
$500 month Finally the demands
for more funds for the dog kennel be-
came greater and Pollard is said to
have copied $4,000 at one lick. The
directors would not stand for this,
so Pollard was arrested
He entered plea of guilty to
charges of embezzlement and was
given ten years in the pen. His sal
airy as bank teller is said to have been
about $4,000 year. His total en-.
bezzzlements were estimated at $4O,-
900.

Character Of the Kaiser.


Editor Leader. AT this time when
peace negotiations among the warrmS
nations of Europe are in the air we
bl.ng to mind the character OF the
kaiser of Germany.
That quality OF his character which
his adherenls are pleased to call
"ver ability" we mus, eall duplicity,
G. 'ookedness. There is one instance
OF his hyrrocisy and bordering on the
absurd which seems to ke forgotten,
that ! recall having seen in some
magazine published about l903. lt
seems that the eminent DIR Delitsch
had brought back some tablets he had
oxhumed from the ruins of ancient
Babylon stam ed in cuDHiform char
acters with the law and edicts OF
Hamuesb king Of Assyria.
Now the so-called laws of Noses
including, of course, the ten command
ments. as mentioned n the Bible, are
nearly replica Of these tablets of an
age long previous, and DR. Deltsch
was called upon by various learned
societies of Germany to lecture before
them and give an account of his eX-
p'orationg. Then the kaiser also sum
moned the doctor before his All High =
ness to converse personally on these
wonderful discoveries in which he
seemed to take an intense interest.
But not long afterward, and no doubt
to the Dis great amiaZement, there
appeared i'm a journal called, | think
lie Greuze. a letter from the kaisef
clliding the learned doctor for having
spread abroad such an imp,ous at
tick on the inspirations Of the Holy
Scriptures. He 5a,d that such things
ought net to be laid before the gen
Grad public. and intimated they would
| lead toward undermining the faith OF
| the very pious German peogle. But
Ntho doctor had made no deductions
from the discoveries in his lectures
/ before the German highbrows, what
ever may have passed between him
and THO kaiser personally, and this
OF course, was known to no one else
The kaiser in his letter said there
were two kinds of inspiration. one
found in the scriptures, and the other
| granted to the few sons of Genius
that might apepar from tine to time
throughout the ages. These latter
were not to be dispersed abroad un-
