The Kaiser, finding himself Iso lated as the result ot French and British diplomacy, debarred on every hand from territorial expansion in Europe, had dreamed of a commercial empire in Asia. But Wllhelm Is the kind of a man who prefers to see things with his own eyes, and that is why, in the spring of 1897, he set miinn his spectacular tour of the Ntf 3 ast. He rode through Pales- heatrlcal uniform made for with a great cavalcade v erusalem he laid ture German church; an (seed a great As an colonists; from ,t led away with him :ni8blngs ol the pal- occupied, loanud, for n, by the nelghDormg ta'albek a peculiarly hid- as placed in the Temple ark his visit, and so he L-nboul, where Abdul- 'rlend and brother. i- f can, a more queer- Vi Tie Sultan, cratty, V- lent; the Kaiser, 'i i hot-headed, dom i i eetlng of the mon i .nous as any in mod .1 one a ruler in spite nr cowardice, and the shrewdest Mplomat 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-Asla. 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 concessionnalres was given the exclusive right to cultivate the land within this railway zono 18.G00 square miles In all, and every foot of it, to nil 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 concessionnalres' utilizing all waters along the route for electric purposes; and such pow er will eventually be used, it is planned, for lighting their towns and running their factories.

Suddenly he Is con fronted by a figure in a long white robe, bearing a heavy instrument In her right hand. "What do you mean by staying out so late?" she demands. "My dear," he explains carefully, "you know we were married by a Justice of the Peace, and the Munici pal Court Judges say that sort of cere. mony Isn't legal, so I was consulting with a number of my friends before the bar to get an opinion that would assure me I was married." Four seconds after he ceased speak ing he was handed down a decision that vereiiled his fears, or hopes, as the case may have been. Chicago Post. Most Plays Are "Padded." A play is rarely produced that would not be Improved, from a dra matic and artistic standpoint, if it were shortened from a third to a half. Many dramas that have succeeded would be far better condensed to one act. For instance, "The Wolf," by Eugene Walter, would be much stronger in this tabloid form. "The Fighting Chance," by W. J. Hurlburt. in which Blanche Bates is starring, bears all the earmarks of having been a one-act play stretched into three. It has material for about three-quarters of an hour at the most of exciting drama. Not even the wonderful skill ot David Belasco, nor the acting of Blanche Bates-and John Cope, can relieve the tedium of the whole first act and most of the second. Hartley Davis, in Everybody's.

This mold la the deadly poison that kills Its victims by slow degrees and in great agony. It tor tures the skin, undermines the strength, weakens the mind, converts its vlctlin Into a gibbering idiot and finally brings death. Pellagra hns probably existed In the United States for many years, although this fact haB not been de finitely -established. American physi cians knew nothing of the disease and as yet know little of It. The pub lic health and mnrine hospital service has at last awakened to Its existence and is making Inquiry about it In the light of what is known of the disease in Europe. The disease Is in no way contag ious or infectious. These is nothing about it that need alarm any com munity in which it is found. It may be cured and It can as- assuredly be prevented.
