EMPEROR CHARLES DEMOCRATIC
An Austrian politician of high
standing told In Switzerland of bis
first Interview with Emperor Charles.
He wus himself one of the older
school, and his experiences when called
to the court of Emperor Francis Jo
seph had been visions of barriers of
red and blue ond gold functionaries
and sturched formality that mude real
conversation a furce.
lie was summoned by the young
emperor, he said, and a time fixed for
an Interview. He went to the palace
and gave Ills hat and coat to a servant
In the first anteroom of the suite of
offices In which the emperor had In*
stalled himself. Then he was ushered
Into the next room. There the em-
peror’s adjutant confirmed the ap-
pointment by consulting a memo-
randum slip, and told him to go Into
the next room, where the emperor was
waiting.
But the next room was empty and
the adjutant said: "The emperor himself Is In the second room; walk right
through.” So the visitor went alone through a long empty room, rapped on the
door of the farther room, and In rdSponse to a "Herein” walked li\to the
emperor's own room. The emperor was alone.
"We sat In a window seat for half an hour and talked," said the v. si tor.
"Not a soul was nearer than the second anteroom, where the adjutant was
working on letters. There was no servant or policeman or detective or other
protection for him.”
LOYALTY LEAGUE ORGANIZER
1
Col. R. P. Dickerson of Springfield,
Mo., organizer of the National Loyalty
league, already has established the
organization In a number of states, but
says he will not rest content until
every American, regardless of sex or
age. Is enrolled In Its membership.
A year ago, when the United
States entered the war, Colonel Dick-
erson organized a cavalry brigade for
Instant service. He opened recruiting
stations all over the country and en-
rolled 82,000 men, most of them be-
yond the draft age and the majority of
them veterans of the Spnnlsh-Amerl-
can war. Colonel Dickerson’s bri-
gade was orgaalzed somewhat on the
lines of Colonel Roosevelt’s division,
but the government would not ac-
cept It
In 1016, when the war with Mexico
seemed Inevitable, Colonel Dickerson
raised a regiment of more than 3,000
men In less than ten days. This regi-
ment never was needed, but Colonel Dickerson's regiment was ready for
action, and he was thanked by the government for his patriotism.

A Word of Precaution.
TUST wherein lies the reason for the use of vegetable preparations for infants
J and children ?
Why are any but vegetable preparations unsafe for infants and children ?
Why are Syrupsf Cordials and Drops condemned by all Physicians and
most laymen ?
Why has the Government placed a ban on all preparations containing, among
other poisonous drugs, Opium in its variously prepared forms and pleasing tastes,
and under its innumerable names?
These are questions that every Mother will do well to inquire about
Any Physician will recommend the keeping of Fletcher’s Castoria in the

That is conclusive evidence that it is satisfactory to the users."
W. H. Chapman, of Montreal, Qua., says: **I have sold Fletcher’sCae-
toria for many years and have yet to hear of one word other than praise of
its virtues. I look upon your preparation ns one of the few so called

Returned to Hit Allegiance.
Since the war broke out my boys,
five and eight years of age, have done
nothing hut talk or play war. One day
with four other little fellows they de-
cided to play war, Insisting that tny
youngest I toy he on the German side.
After much arguing and crying and
yet nfrnlrt of breaking up the game bo
finally decided to be u German. Eiteh
side took their places, supltoaedly be-
hind the trenches. When the call came
to lire the" little fellow turned and
fired at one of his men. The older one
on seeing this yelled: “You can’t
down one of your own men.” when de-
tlnntl.v ho replied: “Aw. I’m turned
traitor; I’m an American.”—Exchange.
’Tls a happy man who can find
enough unrot ted timbers in the past
to bridge the future.
