Lord Lonsdale, accompanied by Bar on Speck von Sternburg, the German ambassador to the United States, vis lied the emperor at l’otsilaui for about five hours yesterday. On returning he sa id: "IBs majesty, who looked exceeding ly well, appreciated fully the difficul ties which have arisen in connection with flic giving of the cup, but most thoroughly hopes that the two clubs will conic to some sportsmanlike agree ment which will cause yachts from hotii clubs to compete.

As he was leaving Lord Lonsdale said.

It 11 depends upon the men who make he Sunday papers whether Scribner, mokes good cigars or plug tobacco. a a pipe. Scribner has the artistic tempera-| nent. He is very proud of the tern- j lerament. This is as bad as a small ; :og when one lives in a flat. It leads me to make nasty remark to the jun ior, whereat that functionary will ab ent-mindedly remove bottled milk rom the dumb waiter while forgetting o remove the waste basket. Scribner also has a typewriter. Al- i iiough it is of the mechanical variety ie speaks of it as “she” because it is o contrary. That is another instance if the artistic temperament working mt. Scribner purchased the machine rom a friend. None of the man’s nernies would purchase it. so that ho tad to dispose of it to a friend. It vas about seven years old when it •hanged hands. The other day it celebrated Its tenth ilrthday by losing a screw. Eight hues Scribner pushed the screw hack nto the hole where the thread used o he. The ninth time he took it off lie table and headed for the nearest mblie telephone station. He telephoned the maker with some cat to call for the machine. Two hours later a small boy ap jeared with a twin to the decrepit type machine, done up in a black elolh. “Take this dod gasied infernal ma chine to the repair shop!” urged ticrib lier. “Tell ’em to clean it and llx it up.” Then he set out to butter his daily bread with a love story. Scrib ner was so glad to have a new ma bine to work with be could have composed a serial romance had there been the ghost of a chance of selling it. From the very start there was trouble. Scribner opened the taie with a hoydenish heroine swinging upon a low-hanging apple bough. He had to leave the lady up the tree while, with prayer and fasting, he sought to dis cover why the ribbon guide would tear off every time he slid the carriage up for a fresh line. ,, In about 20 minutes he discovered that one of the paper guides hung too low and caught the ribbon guide. He mended the machine with a tack ham mer and helped the lady down from the tree. The villain came strolling through the orchard. The machine caught the infection of his villainy. Now the rib bon guide feil^off at the end of the lino instead of at tlic beginning. The remedy was easy, for the tack hammer was near. The villain proceeded upon his crim inal way and the hero was just spring ing over tlic low fence inclosing the orchard when the machine suddenly decided.that twice as much naner was needed at one end of the feed us at the other. The hero defied the laws of gravitation for half an hour until Scribner found that by backing the sheet with six others he could induce a more even feed. Then the hero lightly landed, and in half a dozen strides confronted with blazing eyes Jack Darnington, who stood with uplifted arm above the cowering form of Jessica Carew. "Lay but a finger upon tills lady,” cried the brave Harold Vane, “and I'll—" There was a whirring sound that scared Scribner out of Ids seat. With the aid of a wooden plug he managed to make the spring stay wound up and five minutes was all the time required. The machine ran very evenly for fully ten minutes. Jack Darnington, with a muttered curse, had turned and slunk away with the appropriate re mark about his time coming in the distant future. The brave Harold had been prettily thanked by the grateful Jessica, and had obtained permission to escort her to the house. He was strolling back down the lane when suddenly Jack Darnington sprang through the hedge. “Curse you!” he cried. His further comments upon the situ ation were postponed atid Scribner echoed the curse. Two letters had ap parently raced tip to the paper togeth er and were locked in deadly embrace.

The carriage' rode on nn oiled bar at the back. This oil was old end gum my. The oil on Scribner’s old machine never had a chance to grow gummy It took him lb minutes to find out what the matter was and another five to remedy the trouble and try to wash the oil from his hands.
