Time and Tide.

During the War Savings stamps
drive in Brown county, Indiana, Will
liam L. Coffey, county chairman, ap-
pointed William Vawter, the artist, as
chief solicitor for the county. At the
time of his appointment Mr.. yawter
each morning was walking two miles
to paint the picture of an old elm
tree, which was surrounded by Wild
flowers and beautiful foliage. He
readily accepted and for two weeks
he put forth all energy in the stamp
drive. When the soliciting was COM
pleted Mr.. Vawter took his painting
outfit and walked to the old tree, but
the scenery had changed so much that
the picture will not be completed un-
til next summer, when the wild roses
and other wild flowers will be in
boom.

CHAPTER XII.
The kaiserIn.


Although I had frequently seen the
kaiserin In the company of the kaiser,
l did not actually meet her until she
/ became my patient In 1912, from which
time on she visited me more or less
regularly.
Without going deeply into her his
tory, it may be sufficient to recall that
when the kaiser married her, in 1881,
she was the Princess Victoria Of
Schleswig- MISUNDERSTANDING Angus
tenberg. She was a year older than
her husband. She commanded no par
ticular wealth and was not as prepos-
sessing then, perhaps, as she became
when, some years later, her hair
turned white and softened her rather
large features and too highly colored
complexion.
My first introduction to the kaiserin
occurred one Sunday afternoon at the
Berlin palace, where I had been in
structed to be at three o'clock. I was
conducted up the stairway and, on the
first landing met the kaiser, who was
waiting for me.
well, Davis" he said, az hope l

but 1 assure you it was not for myself

we are going to have a state ball on

order, so that she can attend it, as it is
one of the most important social func-
lions Of the season. Follow me, and |
Will take you to my wife and introduce

Legend OF The Tree


THE origin of,the Christmas tree is
lost far back in the dim shadows Of
antiquity Very early records claim
that the lighted and decorated tree
was used in celebrating the feasts of
heather gods. and the custom was
later adopted by Christendom.
The early Greeks called Christmas
the Feast of Lights" and there is a
