Thorpe’s
Examination
BY F. E. ROBBINS,
Pee @r 0 D0 O C0090
When he applied for the Swamp
Hollow school Nathan Thorpe was
barely seventeen years old, but he
was large and strong for his age
and having attended the academy
nearly two terms, he considered him-
self well qualified to begin his career
as a teacher,
His father thought differently, and
tried to dissuade him from the under-
taking. “You don't know enough to
teach school, gon,” Mr. Thorpe
declared, bluntly
‘1 don't believe it takes a great
deal of knowledge to teach the Swamp
Hollow school,” said Nathan.
“Maybe not, Nathan, maybe not,”
replied his father, significantly. “But
still it must take some.”

Foxy German Emperor.
By E. ALEXANDER POWELL.
The Kaiser, finding himself iso-
jated as the result of French and
British diplomacy, debarred on every
hand from territorial expansion in
Europe, had dreamed of a commercial
empire in Asia But Wilhelm is the
kind of a man who prefers to see
things with his own eyes, and that
is why. in the spring of 1887, he set
out on his spectacular tour of the
Near East He rode through Pales-
tine in a theatrical uniform made for
the occasion. with a great cavalcade
behind him At usalem he laid
the cornerstone of a German church;
at Haifa peed a great as-
semblage German colonists; from
Damascus he carried away with him

ace which he occupied,
the occasion, by the neighboring
pashas; at Ba’albek a peculiarly hid-
eous tablet was placed in the Temple
of Venus to mark his visit, and so he
came to Stamboul, where Abdul-
Hamid his friend and brother,
awaited him
Imagine, if you can, a more gueer-
ly assorted pair. The Sultan, crafty,
cautious, timid, patient; the Kalser,
bombastic, blatant, hot-headed, dom-
ineering. This meeting of the mon-
archs was as curious as any in mod-
ern history—the one a ruler in spite
of his physical cowardice, and the
shrewdest diplomat in Europe. the
other a sort of footlight king. Hum-
ble, patient, and furtive, the Master
of Turkey listened, while the War
Lord thundered Always he dilated
on his great idea, the Drang nach
Osten-—~that onsweep to the East of
German imperialism. This strangely
mated pair, these masters of East and
West, made a compact that the one
would abstain from intervening in
Crete and would use his influence to
obtain the withdrawal of the inter-
national soldiery from the island, and
that the other would give him, in
payment, a right-of-way for his rail-
road across Turkey-in-Asia. And so
they arranged it between tHem, the
bilious, sallow-faced, silent little
man with his eternal cigarette, and
the stoutish, aggressive, domineering
Teuton who puffed intermittently at
a black'cigar. . . . The Sultan
had, indeed, bartered a kingdom for
the Kaiser's friendship. To the Ger-
man concessionnaires was given the
exclusive right to cultivate the land
within this railway zone -— 18,600
square miles in all, and every foot
of it, to all intents and purposes,
German soil—to work the mines and
the forests within this radius: to
grow wheat, tobacco and cotton; to
colonize, and to navigate the streams,
not to mention various subsidiary
rights. The concession admits,
moreover, of the concessionnaires’
utilizing all waters along the route
