He can tell just how Nepoleon beat the good kio of Par-eia at Jena and then insulted the beautiful Queen Louise at Burlin.

He knows jus, how many thousand of the ailied troops put Nepoleon down at Leipsic. If he is a Leipsic school-boy he will point out rever-eutly the room in the Rathhans in which the wicked Nepoleon 'lived while in Leipsic. Then the German school-boy can tell a tremendous deal of anecdote, biography and fable, concerning Martin Luther, Fredrick the Great, the Great Kurf urst and other German heroes. In fact, it is the German boy's education of his native land that makes him a hot little patriot at 13 and a proverbially loyal soldier in after years. Snakes and Snakes.

Ctietopa statesman, "Is the snake editor about?" This was the salutatiou of Sam Braught yesterdey as le hailed us across the street. "Yes, and he is exceeding hungry for a snake item," was the response wafted back. And then be said that east of his farm near the corner of Richland township, seven miles from Chetopa there is a rocky bluff about 150 feet high almost overhanging the river. A seam of coal crops out near the top of the bluff, and has been worked for several years past. This winter a number of men have been stripping and hauling away coal.

A few days ago a man named Thomas, in moving a strip of rock, came across a few snakes. He seized a club and began whacking away at them, but soon it seemed that the more he killed the more numerous became the living reptiles. At last he called three or fcur men working within hail. All of them then took a hand in threshing out and threshing down the hissing rep-tiles. There were big snakes and little snakes, black snakes and gray snakes, ringed snakes and stripped snakes, copper snakes and rattle snakes, water snakes and land snakes, and snakes! When they got through, and no more could be found, they counted up and the aggregate amounted to just 1G9 snakes.

Allen County Courant. Gov. Martin, in his last message to the legislature, spoke of Kansas being such a temperate state. It looks like it! Last week's Kansas notes read as follows: "The police raided the Continental hotel in Leavenworth yesterday and arrested the proprietor and three bartenders. Several more saloons re under police surveillance." "The Wichita police are having difficult work in keeping peace.

Several saloon rows were reported last night," Wellington was terribly worked up last Monday by a rumor to the effect that a man had been caught in the act of selling cider that had not been inspected by the president of the prohibition club." "Seventeen prisoners were turned out of the Cowley county jail last wek and nineteen turned in. The offence of the new batch was the same as that for which the old were incarcerated liquor selling." There are twenty eight saloons in Topeka and it is estimated tint there are sixsy "Arkansas City sallons are not so load as formerly but the number is not decreased "Dodge City is having trouble with her sallons."

The test time I beard of her before Herr Vosch told me how she was mating a reputation for San Francisco in Germany's capital was on New Year's day three years ago, when she and another woman drove their phaeten into the surf near the cliff and rescued a man who was drowning. I spoke to one of the detectives about her after Herr Vosch told me of her rise in the world, and he said that all the police know of her was that she had left the city in company with a young German who came through from China en rout to Europe, but his name was not Hoff-tstein, nor was be a baron.

"Guess she jumped him for the baron when they struck Burlin," was the detective's sententious remark. "I wonder how she'll amuse herself, now she's too rich to make stealing an ob ject. I'll tell you, that Dutch-mans enimies, if he's got any, are good and even with him." It is quite common for such people as my detective friend to speak of Germans as Dutchmen. Every word of this story is as exactly true as the memory of circumstances which struck me pretty forcibly at the time permit. A thousand people in San Francisco will remember the girl and parts of her story.

That such a girl tshould become the wife of a rich German baron is but another evidence that a woman's beauty is the greatest power in the world. Eastern adventuresses have bled the west in the past, and this is turning the tables of vengence. Daisy Newman's father was a carpenter or something of the kind, in this city, but he is dead and sh has no relatives here known to the police. The German School Boy. New York Suu.

The German school boy is not much of a boy according to American ideas. He is a yery sedate and polite little chap. He has a big bump of respect for his elders. A superficial observer might easily mistake him for Mark Twain's good little boy. He gets up early in the morning to trudge off to school as fast as his small legs can carry him.

His face and hands are clean. His tow hair is combed well back from his shiny red forehead His trousers may be never so carefully patched, they are never ragged. He carries his books in a knapsack on his back. This knapsack is a great thing, so the Gorman small boy thinks, the German soldiers carry knapsacks, too. His favorite amusement is to get a lot of little white-haired, shiny-faced comrades with knapsacks on their backs in military line.

He marches them up and down in front of the school house at recesses, drilling them in the goose step, or teaching them how to salute present and wheel. This military drill is as dear to the smalj German heart, as scrub, one-old-sat or marbles to the small American heart. Indian base or foot ball would be too rough for the German schoolboy. He would be afraid of being kicked on the shins or of being tumbled in the dirt. He never gets tired, however, of trying to turn his small pigeon toes out as he marches his little company up the street after school.

He knows all about the words of command and abuse the officers use in drilling the soldiers, for they have watched the drills at the barracks every holiday. Indeed, the height of his school-boy ambition is to get a tiny helmet with the arms of the fatherland and a red and blue uniform just as an East side New York boy longs to become a cowboy. The German schoolboy is not much of a fighter. He slaps and scratches his comrades occasionally, but he never punches them. Like his father he can cut all sorts of capers with his toy sword, but he does not know how to ball his fists.

When another boy slaps him he becomes very dignified. He doesn't say: "You're another," or "I'll get my big brother to fix you, Fritzie Oppenheimer." He lisps out a big double-jointed German sentence of disapproval and goes away to cry. The German school-boy has much better manners for his years than the German student. When- only 8 or 9 years old he says 'excuse me, if you please," and -'thank you," fifty times where the American boy would say them once. He tips his hat to everyone who speaks with him on the street.

He will try patiently to tell a tourist where the library is, and does not laugh when the tourist calls the library 'he' instead of 'she' or the palace 'she' instead of In the schoolroom the German boy is not the young scapegrace that Tenier has painted him. He doesn't know anything about chewing and throwing paper wads He does not kick the boy who sits in front of him, and doesn't pull the hair of bis neighbor. He doesn't even understand the utility of a crooked pin His teacher always maintains such a careful watch over him that be has no time for these side issues. He therV forv learns a vast inthe J. T.

ISHAM, H.H. ISHAM COFFEYVILLE, KAS. A Ceavtlfil 7ona. Stockton Mall. Herr Vosch was talking about beanty.

Beauty in scenery, beauty in horses, and, finally beaufy in women. Ho said, casually, in the course of his remarks: "The most beautiful woman I ever saw was a San Francisco lady, and yesterday at the ranch of Senator Sanford I saw horses that would make our German breeders wonder at their beauty." "Who was the beautiful Sau Fran-ciscianf I asked idly. "Ah." roplied Herr Vosch, "I know not her name here. She is the reigning beauty of Burlin, the Baroness Hoffetein, wife of the great banker of that name, ller beauty, her robes and equippaga are the talk of Burlin. I was introduced to her just before my departure, and when I told her that I was going to San Francisco she said that she came from that city.

Ah, but she is beautiful in fa3e and form; so distinguished, too, that one would almost swear that she was of noble birth. Men and women alike spoke of her. But you shall see for yourself. I have here her photograph. A friend of mine got it by stealth, for she is too modest to make public her picture." Herr Vosch opened a pocket-book and showed me the portrait of the Baroness Hoffetein.

"Did you ever see her here?" he asked. 'Frequently," was my answer. "Is she not beautiful, and so pure, so modest," continued the enraptured inquirer and chemist. I did not dispute Herr Vosch's statements, but questioned him further about the baroness, wbo, be told me, lived at different times in haf a dozen different palaces, had servants by the score, find was a marked character in society, though owing to deaths in the royal family she had not been seen in court, yet she would undoubtedly make a sensation in thw German court when the time of mourning was over and the capital regained its wonted I did not tell my German friend so, but it was in a San Francisco court that the original of the picture he showed me as that of the Baroness Hoffstein made the first sensation of her life. I remember the occasion well.

I had an appointment at the police court to explain why I had fired off a shot-gun within the city limits, and was giving the points of my defense to a shyster lawyer when suddenly there was a buzz in the court room which pursuaged something unusual. I looked around and saw a really beautiful girl being motioned to the prisoners' dock by a policeman She was plainly dressed, evidently a girl in poor circumstances, but despite her tears and the fact that she was in charge of a policeman, every body looked on her admiringly. Portly old Judge Rix motioned to the baliff, and she was given a seat among the spectators, where she would not be exposed to the gaze of every body as she was in the dock. Her ase came up before mine and I remember listening to catch the name while clerk McNulty read the complaint, which set forth that Daisy Newman was charged with misdemeanor pety larceny, for having stolen a quantity of ribbons, laces, from her mistress who kept a milliner's store on Market street, San Francisco. The milliner made her complaint and Judge Rix in a fatherly way, called the pretty girl to the stand, and questioned her.

There was no defense. She bad stolen the goods; but a few glances from between the moist lashes that shaded the pretty eyes were more potent than a cloud of witnesses, and after a little good advice frjm the Judge which brought forth a shower of penitential tears, Daisy Newman left the court room. At the door she was met by a woman who put her into a carriage and drove straight to a house of ill repute, at 318 Sutter street. This woman was Mollie Woodward. Her business 8t the jail was in connection with her shooting by her late husband Dr.

Woodward. She had met the girl down below and promised to provide for her when her case was settled. All this I learned from the chief of police a few days after, when 1 spoke of her beauty and evident penitence for her first sin. He shook his head in pity when he told me where she had gone, and said; "The girl is a born thief; she is beautiful and can assume a look of innocence that would disarm anyone. Mark my words, if she lives she will become very famous, I think, as a confidence operator.

Many' a map. she'll ruin before she dies." It looks as if the chief's prediction was being verified very fast, for it bodes no good to anyone when a woman of that character marries a banker and makes a sensation with her beauty and extravagance. I never forgot what the chief of police told me, and always found myself interested when ever Daisy Newman's East Side Square, -W. H. LEW ARK.
