Search Warrant Needed.
From the Binghamton Press.

They are telling an unpleasant story
in Berlin about the former kaiser.
1t isn't, however, very amusing to
German lovers of royalty.
It is said that the jeweled crown of
the late Queen Augusta. the kaiser's
first wife, disappeared. AS it belonged
to the kingdom of Prussia and was
valued at $S75,000, detectives were
employed to search for it.
They traced it, SO they say, to the
"palace" at Doom where the little
Princess Hermine wore 1t when she
was married to the bewhiskered exile
from Potsdam.
Whether true or not. the story
seems characteristic enough. Will
helm, in his palmy days, ran a close
second to the French monarch who
said. II am the State" The kaiser
really thought he was the state.
And the unpleasant feature of the
affair. for the friends of the German
republic. is the fact that Wilhelm.
from all accounts, still nbelieves that
he was, and of right oul ht to be, the
German state.

I'm Remembrance Of Me-" "
st. Lake. reis.I9.

TO do something that will last, that
VIII be remembered, is the normal de-
sire OF every man. This has charaC-
terized human endeavor from the be-
ginning of time. The world is liter
ally full of memorials that witness
either to the self-esteem of some com.
| mandinG figure or to the admiration
| in which men held him. When Da.
RUS the Great would leave behind him
some enduring memorial of his
achievements, he had the record
carved on the Behistun Rock, high
above the plains. Through the long
centuries this enduring rock has stood,
witnessing TO the achievements of one
who carved his way to fame with the
edge of the sword
No memorial that the world con.

security than that which the Master
instituted In the little, upper room In

on toward its close He took the frag-

it with wine, He gave It to each man,
saying. This cup is the New Testa-

scene was strangely homely and sim
pie. The company at the table COM
prised a small body of intimate friends.
Probably to them. at the first, the
whole ceremony was meaningless.
They had no knowledge OF what was
impending. even though the discourse
of the Master had been touched with
solernnity coupled with the prophecy
OF His imminent death. Bewildered
by all that they had heard, they could
hardly grasp the significance of His
latest act in giving them "the cup of

times, as he viewed this small com

close to the life of Representative
Richard Yates of Illinois, illustrious
son of a still more illustrious sire. Mr..

ried when she was not quite II years

Douglas, as follows:
When my mother was 16, i. e., 1888,
Mrs. William Brown entertained
NV grandmother would not permit her
to go until promised that Mrs. Brown
would see that she got home all right.
At the close of the party Mrs. Brown
said to my mother. Catherine, l have

Douglas will walk home with you.''
NV mother said, "Oh, Mrs, Brown, I

He recognized her and said, Run

The reply was, Both, / hope. Mr..
