Thief Pauses Between Freedom and Pie; Loses I Both; Gets Fine of $5O Kansas City. —A pic stood between James Pierce and freedom. He chose the former and lost both. I That accounted for his presence In the South Side Court. Pierco pried the padlock from the | door of tlie J. E. Knox restaurant, { 1803 Main Streot. James McWil , i i ams, special patrolman, walking by the restaurant, saw the open lock. He pushed on the door. It gave slightly, then came back into place from an unseen force on the inside. A pushing contest followed. But Pierce, who was on the inside, was handicapped, as he had a large i custard pie in one hand. He debated with himself whether he should drop the pic and use his entire strength to hold the door. Tho indecision prova costly, for McWiiliams gave a big push, causing Pierce to lose his bal ance and his clutch on tho pie. The defense collapsed completely, as was shown to-day in court by the liberal supply of dry custard on the seat of Pierce's trousers. "Hungry yet?" aske Judge E. J. Fleming. "Not now." The special patrolman explained Pierce had almost completed a meal, j including a dessert course of four Pies and several "Coney Islands." when interrupted.

The queer actions of the ex-Kaiser, who claims at tim es to be a Socialist, are described in a dispatch from The Hague via London. Often the former Emperor sud denly jumps up from the dinner table, declaring to those about him that these days are days of Social ism and that he is only an ordinary man now and must help. Thereupon he will throw his napkin over his shoulder and Insist upon helping to wait. At other times, dressed in a general's uniform he struts into the diningroom after pompously de manding that the butler announce him with all his titles. After he g cts past tho soup and fish courses ho has grown democratic and by t he time desert Is served he is a full- fledged Socialist. The report adds t hat he talks incessantly from morn- ing to night to every one who wil 1 listen on any topic whatsoever.
