At court all men who are not in uniform must wear the court dress of old times, tlie knee breeches, ami embniderej Katin coats of light colors, with tlte diamond buckkw and frills. But in the army be tries to have the extreme of simplicity. Field day is a great time for the oilioers. their menus come out, tiwy uave namw sciuie luncheons and everything is gay.

Ihe Kaiser had noticed how unhappy the minor soldiers looked on that day, in comparison with the otiiocrs, so he kept a lookout for tlie cater. rs wagons, thut lie knew from former experiences would bring the supplies, and, when he mw them, turned them back to town. and then announced to his ullicers that as that was a day for general practice, they must stand in the field on duty as long as the minor soldiers wero compelled to stay there. That smacks a Little of tyranny aud must have made the clliwra rage, but douutks won hiin the heart of every private there.

A they drove througn the city we could not help noticing the great simphejtv of tlie tieruiaa court in comparison with the brilliant pomp of tho Knglidi.

lie speaks very slowly- ikit a young ollieer said the oilier day that in one speech tho Kaiser used two nglish plurals, which looks ss if he had spoken, then at hunt, ex Utupore, and that his mother and father tongues wero aliut equally balanced in bin mind. When one lives here, one must love this KaiT, feel sorry tor the occasional fry lijth. things he does, but feel convinced fritn his master strokes, and from the hying colors with which he has com throuah a more than troubled youth. that lie will be not kx than second to xreUerick tho vireat.

A year ago, while visitine at Murray, she became acquainted with George Darrington. It seemed a 'case of love at first sight, and after Miss Mattliews' return they became engaged. On Wednesday Eider Mattliews was called to Murray to attend to some business mat ters.

Darrington saw Lim, and boarding a train be went tc Marysville. He did not call at tlie Matthews residence, but contented himself by strolling by in tlie hope that hi sweetheart would see him. Site did so, and furtliertnore sl.e walked out of the house and caught up with him.
