Concussion of the Brain,
From London M. A. P.
Kaiser William of Germany tells with
much gusto and amusement the follow
ing story, in which he himself figures as
anything but the hero:
"I was discussing the theory and prac
tice of medicine with good doctor von?"
fays the emperor, mentioning the name of
one of Germany's most celebrated physi
cians. "We finally fell into animated con
versation as to . the workings of the
human brain, its marvelous mechanism,
its extreme delicacy, and the ease with
which it can be thrown out of order.
"? If you were familiar, your majesty,
with the symptoms of concussion of the
train?' began the doctor.
" But I am perfectly familiar with the
symptoms of concussion,' I interrupted.
" 'I am astonished/ repll?4 the good
doctor.
" 'Let me prove my knowledge,' I said.
?If. for example. I banged my head ter
rifically against yours, would we not both
suffer concussion of the brain?'
" "Pardon me. sire.' he replied. 'I think
that I might.'
"I did not punish him for lese majeste,"
laughingly concludes the emperor, "richly
as he deserved It."

maypole dance and a hornpipe on the
grass. Champagne and sandwiches were
served from gay marquees, after which
the guests repaired to the ballroom, where
a spirited german was led by Mr. John

The Thirsty Tourist
From Collier's.
The health department of Colorado
8prlngs decided that public drinking cups
were not sanitary and removed them.
The welkin Immediately rang with the
protests of the boosters that this impli
cation of concern would frighten tourists
away. A "well known business man" re
placed three of the cups on busy corners.
The health commissioner, an ex-pioneer
and Indian fighter, remove*/ them again.
The matter was thus brought to Mayor
Avery, who sided against the health de
partment. The mayor of Colorado
Springs appears to belong to that sturdy
class of free-born Americans who can be
counted on to light to the last ditch any
attempt to Introduce modern knom-ledge
of hygiene Into municipal housekeeping.
The resistance to such attempts Is almost
always based on the assertion that the
change will "hurt business," Colorado
Springs Is, to be sure, rather unusually
sensitive on the drink question because
of the damage which is thought to have
been done to the town's principal busi
ness, the tourist trade, by its having gone
"dry-" To allure strangers accustomed
to luxurious living Into a beautiful hotel
and then not permit them to have wine
with their meals undoubtedly Involves
embarrassments which even many in gen
eral sympathy with the prohibition move
ment might not Inconsistently wish to
escape. Mossy?not to say m ussy?old
drinking cups are, however, another issue.
The thing for Colorado Springs to do is to
put in those bubbling little fountains
toward which the enchanted passerby In
clines his lips to receive the stream's
caress. They are sanitary and safe and
convey to any one with a spark of fancy
the notion of drinking from a bubbling
spring. With one eye squinted upward
toward Pikes Peak and his imagination
at work we feel sure that any tourist
would prefer them.
