Amfrongen. Jan. 25.-Opinion as to what should be done with William HohenZollern, formerly German em- peror is very much divided in Hol- land. even in the extreme south east ern corner of the province of Utrecht wheer is situated the castle of Amer Cngen, Hohenzollern's temporary abode. Here the rural population contentedly lives under the rule of the gentry who havs owned the land around for generations. An oppor- tunity to observe the division of sen- timent was afforded the Associated Press correspondent when he sought lage hotel Seated about the office were half dozen villagers
 After the stranger had been eyed while with the furtive suspicion of the rustic towards the townsman, talk drifted back to it's former chan nel-Hohenzollern.
 What do people herea'bouts think of him?" the correspondent asked.
 Think of him? He should be clapped in jail and hanged" rapped out sharp faced man fiercely. That's whateI think of him."
 Nay, neighbor," expostulted a fat complacent man who looked like a prosperous cattle dealer oozing with war profits, "he don't deserve all that surely"
 "What?" calculated ste first man. "A feller who had millions@of people killed in them battles :"
 What I say is." broke in the cat tleman. "he always gave thanks to the Almighty He always praised God. You can see it in the papers. And that's a ,fitsand proper thing to do. There are many worse than he and it wasn't his fault alone, that all them people were killed What do you say, .landlord?", q
 Aye. that may be true,s' said the landlord Automatically He had his faults, I daresay. But do say 'tis sad comedown for a gentle man in his position!" And he shook his gray head.
 "Pshaw!" said the sharp-faced man. You bet he lacks for nothing He lives on the fat of the land He gets all he wants. and more. Cur rant bread-he' gets every day. ana jam and tea Folks like that never lack for nothing, eh?
 The village carpenter thus address, ed cast disappearing look over the assembly. 'I don't hold with rov- city and such." he yrowled slowly through his teeth, which 'bripped his pipe like a vise. There's old Paul Kruger. l never could abide him. When he came tO Utrecht was working at the hotel where he staying, And twice every day. every day, he had hot pudding! Now Il call that sinful: it's scandalous It oughtn't to be allowed"

THE FIRST ATLAS.

The first modern atlas was the work of Abraham Ortalius, Dutch geog- rapher, who died in Antwerp, his na- tive city 321 years ago today, June -28, 1898. His monumental work, entitled the sTheatrum Orbis Terrarum," was first published at Antwerp in 1870, and was revised and reissued five times during the authors lifetime. It was a folio volume containing nearly a hundred maps. representing the diff ferent countries and continents as they were then known. Although this atlas was a momentous achievement, a monument of erudition and indus try, yet bright schoolboy of today could draw maps from memory with better approximation to correctness. Even England and Scotland appear in this pioneer volume with amazing dis tortions of coastline and relative area, and many other maps in the volume bear only slight resem- b1ance to those of today. The name of "atlas," derived from that of the Greek god condemned to bear on his shoulder the vault of heaven, was first given to collection of maps by Girard Mercator, another distinguish ed Dutch geographer of the sixteenth century.

ALExANDER's BIRTHDAY

When Lehar wanted to write a new comic opera, he went to Montenegro for his raw materials of stage setting, costumes, and characters The funny little kingdom was so come in itself that he decided that art could not i'm prove upon 1t, so he took Prince Danilo-clothes, whiskers, habits. and everyrhing-and bodily put him into the cast of "The Merry Widow" without even bothering to change the name of his character. Born 48 years ago today, a brother of Queen Helena of Italy, Danilo Alexander was, at the time that his life was depicted in The Merry Widow the heir to the throne of Montenegro. The original of The Merry Widow" it has been alleged, was the Princess Radmovic, to whom the Prince was said to have paid vio- lent attentions, forgetfu1 of the fact that she was a married woman with family of children The wife of the Prince, incidentally. was the Princess Jutta of Mecklenburg- ?Strelitz, a daughter of the grand duke of that country. She is a lady of great p1lysi- cal prowess, can wrestle and box, while the Prince was a slender and rather dandified chap.
 The Princess Radmevic was de- scr1Ded as everything that Is charm ing, and, besides. was the widow of one of the richest men in Montenegro Franz Lehar, the composer, had met both the widow and the Prince in Paris before he embarked on his dar- ing scheme of setting them and their | country to music. Only. at one time did Lehar ba1k. He did not call the country of his stage setting Monte negro. It is said in Paris that for a
 time he contemplated even that enormity. but was persuaded by friends that it would be unwise. So
 Montenegro appeared on the playbills

THE CANADIAN
 PACIFIC RAILWAY

A through passenger service on the Canadian Pacific Railway between Montreal and Vancouver was inaugu- rated 33 years ago today, June 2s, 1886. This line, first of tho great Continental systems that now cover the Dominion with a network of steel, was built in four and a half years, an average of 2.6 miles per day. Enor- nous engineering difficulties had to be overcome in constructing the road through the rocky barriers thrown up by nature along the shores of Lake Superior and over sthe snow-clad peaks of the Rockies. More than 800 miles of line were cut through the solid rock. An army of workmen, at one time as many as 25,o00. were en- gagged in this gigantic battle of civiH-- ration against the wild forces of na- ture. But if the engineering dimcul- ties were great, the task of financing the project was even greater. The Canadian Pacific scheme, born in scandal. was still viewed with distrust by English capitalists Canada had to build her own road-and Canada did. By the latter part of 1885 the last mountain had been crossed. the last tunnel bored. the last bridge built the last rail laid. the last spike driven, and on June 2s of tho following year a train conductor in Montreal cr1pd "All aboard for vanoouvsr."
