Twenty Vears Ago tht« Supreme War TiOlil Hade an K'nIry Into Hie City of Ihivid That Would .Alone llavf Proved That He Is lyackinK (our plelely In Any Ht'iise of Humor. THAT the Kaiser completely I lacks a sense of humor l.s the I Rtatement of Spencer Leigh ( Hughes, member of the Brlt- l.sh Patllam<»nt, who related a story I of encountering Wlllieliu In Jerusa- j Ipiu nearly twenty years ago. Mr. i Hughes grows reminiscent in an arti- I cle iu tho London Tlmos, and .suy.^: "More than nineteen years have | passed since I had the eipeiience of i seelnj! the Kaiser enter Jeiiisalem, ' heralded, appropriately enough, by i blatant and brazen niu.sic and sur- | rounded by what is sometimes called by descriptive leportprs 'a plentiful 1 display of bunting.' "It was at about 3.15 on the after- | noon of Saturday, Oct. 29, 1898, that this curious specimen of a pilgrim entered tho Holy City, armed to the tePlli, escorted by Iroop.s, with Turk- ish mounted police thrashing; out of the way such native.s as bad drawn near. Some accoislits of the event re- late that he went in by the Damascus Gale, but that is not the case. To oblige their imperial guest the Turks had made a breach in the historic and imiueniorial walls of Jerusalem in or- der to save the Kaiser from the trou- ble of turning an awkward corner â€" an outrage that may have satisfied his sense of Kultur. It may b-e Ihousht that any reflections 1 cast on Ihose 1898 proceedings liuve been tinged by the faPt that we are now at war with the chief performer and that what then appeared harmless now seems offensive. That is not. however, the case, for at that time I wrote an account of the event in wliicb I described the Kaiser as the only rival of Barnum, and In resard to the procession of (lerman officers, Turkish Pashas and the horde of hangers-on I then wrote: 'Nothing like this has bei^n seen since Noah came out of the ark.' "The Kaiser had arrayed himself like a Crusader as seen in pantomime â€" helmet, silk robe and the other us- ual trappings for the part. He ap- peared tj be in a mood vt «zaltation and saluted with almost epileptic fury. Indeed, it seemed to me that he Imagined he bad eaptured the city by the sword Instead of arriving there, as was the fact, as one of rook'i personally conducted tourists. I have sometimes seen accounts of that imperial trip to the Holy Land in which it is said that the (ierman thoroughness and elHciency were shown by the perfection of the ar- ran.^ements and by the manner In which the time-table was kept. All these tributes to that perfection of arransements are well deserved, but the Hermans had nothing to do with if, as the whole biiriness, including the providing of luonev and the cater- in;; and transport, was In the hands of Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son, of I-udgate Circus, ani it would be im- pussible to imagine a more British institution than that. "II was only by chance that 1 saw this famous entry, for thouijh 1 had Kone out oil purpose to wltne.ss and lo describe it, the Turks, who do not appreciate the press, hud tried lo keep llie special lorrespoudenla at 'd di.stanie. They assured lis that the Kaiser had expressed the wish that we should not get within twenty-four hours of him â€" either in advance or following behind. We knew our Kaiser better than that, as he liked to iravel 'with a full band' as the phrase goes. One of our party, the late .Meltou Prior, had a letter of Introduction from the Prince of Wales, afterward Kinn Kdward Vll., and .â- -0 obtained an interview when the Kaiser aiinoiuiced that lie wished ull failllties to be given to the jour- iialisls. That made things more e.isy for us, but we h;id been delayed .s > loiiK that it seemed likely that w^ should not pet to Jerusalem In time for the show. Hut ten or a dozen of us, acting together, hired a special train, and thus we were able to roiup into Jerusalem about a couple of hours liefore the curtain went up and saw a sight worth seeing. "What struck me about the Kaiser In Jerusalem more than anything else was his complete lack of a sense of liiinior â€" a lack so complete as to be hardly consistent with entire sanity. The entry ceremony which 1 have mentioned showed the truth of the saying that there Is but one step be- tween Ih" sublime and the ridiculous. l''or it was really ludicrous beyond de- scription, and 80 were some of his Bubsequent performances la that city. I have never witnessed anything more really funny than his appearance as a preacher In a church in Jerusalem, when he took part in the dedication of a (ierman Protestant church there, lie and his attendant oOlcers, gigan- ' tic men selected on the Barnum prin- i ciple because of their sue, man^bed ) up the church, all armed to the teeth, | with a mixture of the goose-step and | the cake-walk, while the choir sang | a respectful anthem which the Kais- i er took to refer to himself and i acknowledged it with a military sa- | lute! As Oermany Is not my spiritual home. It happens that I do not under- \ stand the German language â€" Indeed, â-  I am so ignorant In this respect that I was not always sure whether the imperial preacher was tackling a guttural or clearing his throat. But the tone throughout was that of a drill sergeant giving orders. "As 1 came away I talked to German officer who knew our Ian guage and our countiy well. He said, 'I know you maks; fun of our Em- peror In your country.' 1 said th.it of course we would not be so rude, but he retorted, 'Oh, 1 know all about it, I see Punch,' and then lie added this discriminating remark, 'Whatever you may say about him, this at leaat Is true â€" he Is the great- est commercial trareler in the world'." â-º • Warm Weather Specials White I'itjue and Drill wash shirts .» $1.50 .SilU Waists iu black, white, rose, apricot and pink, new styles $2 to $3.75 Ladies' Hosiery ,whito aiul black.all sizes, cotton, wool or silk 25c. -$1.50 Stripe, Check aud fancy wash sKirts $2.75 to $3.00 Mitltly lilou-^es new style 7 5c. to $2 25 Middy ties and fancy collars 50c to $1.26 Iuvi.sible .suspenders, 2 and 4 point ....35c to 50c.
