Portable Station on Which
He May Address His Sub

Working in the Field-
King Otto's Ravings.
By Malcolm Clarke.
(Hearst Kew by Loosest Leased Wire.)
Berlin, March 33. In order to be able
to address his peasant subjects while
they are working in the field, the kaiser
is having made a sort of portable sta
tion, which is to be carried on th Im
perial train and which may be put to
gether in a quarter of an hour.
-" It is to bo used this fall when Empe
ror William intends to spend consider
able time visiting the various parts of
his empire, which be has not yet hon
ored with his presence. Whenever he
is then passing a number of peasants
harvesting . their crops - the train will
stop, the portable station will be put up
and the kaiser will Ucture to the farm
laborers on their duty toward their
country, or whatever subject he chooses.
An incurable manlao. King Otto of
Bavaria, the other day celebrated his
sixtieth birthday in the palace of Fuer
stenreld, which has been his prison for
over 80 years.
A Berlin journalist who was allowed
to see the mad king says that evidently
his health is as good as ever. He looks
as if he might live another 80 years,
but. his mental condition remains un
changed. The unhappy monarch never speaks
and does not allow a word to be spoken
In his presence and this enforced sil
ence Is so depressing that his attend
ants are unable to stand it and have to
be changed rreauently.
The only visitor who may -speak to
him Is the prince regent, who visits
him once a year, and If Anybody elso
tries to utter a word an attack of fury
always follows.
The king takes his meals id cdmpany
with a nhvaiclan and three wardens
dressed in the uniform of officers of
the Bavarian guard.
What la described by the German
papers as "one of the most marvelous
baritone voices ever listened to," has
been discovered in Berlin, the possessor
being Berthold Puaeh, a young brick
layer, who has just entered his nine
teenth year.
Tha discovery was made in some.
what romantic fashion by a gentleman
who is an enthuslaatlo musical ama
teur. Passing a house in the process
of building he heard a song trolled out
In a voice of surpassing richness. When
it was finished he sought the singer,
who proved to be a bricklayer at work
on the building. He la having Pusch's

(Hearst News by Longest teased Wire.)
- Washington. May 28. President
Roosevelt stopped long enough today
from wielding the big stick to discuss
the strenuous art of boxing with Leo
Ferneclari of Chicago, amateur light
weight champion boxer of the United
States.
The president is no novice in the art.
He has a few "punohes" he has stud
led out for himself. He thinks they
would be effective but he wanted ex
pert advice.
When the young boxer waa intro
duced the president said: "I'm glad to
meet you; mighty glad. Tou go over
to England and you lick every Brit
isher that puts his fist up lick the
tar out of them. Here, give me one of
your pictures and I'll give you one
of mlnel n return. And don't, you get
whipped over there, young man. Beat
'em and beat 'em hard."
Much to the surprise of Representa
tive . Wilson 'of Illinois, who presented
Ferneclari, the president squared off
to illustrate some of his pet blows.
Ferneclari was delighted. As an ex-
Ised to familiarise himself with them,
His astonishment at the president's
knowledge of the "manly art" was pro-
xouna. xi was an interesting nair noura
chat for the president, but Representa
tive Wilson felt easier when he got
outside the executive offices.
