Of his stay at the lovely palace Of Schoenbrunn,
where. by the way Tyrolese jjger INDUCED In the
luxury of a shot at him and died forit But whether
IL was Icua or the prove ling memories Of Potsdam,
or q sudden aud acute attack Of human nature, he
resolved upon somewhat public aud formal entry
into Berlin on the 2sth Of October 1896.
There would be nothing easier than for the people
of Il conquered town to prevent any such shows or
at least 10 give them CHASTITY and funeral favor.
When Joseph Bonaparte entered Madrid as king Of
Spain, the people simply stayed at home and shut
their doors, and the gloom Of the silent streets
struck TO the heart Of The carpct-bae King. But the
Spauiards are an apathcic folk, with thirst for
knowledge. You could not get Ncw-York crowd
to stay az home when even Lincoln passed through,
and no considerations Of patriotism would have
induced the gcst-reich Bcriinoso TO smoke their
pipes indoors when there was sach an opportunity
of making psycho-plysioogicai observations on
new branch Of the human race So the wide streets
were crowded with them, men and madcns, each in
their holiday clothes. TO see the cOnqucrng Nclshcis
Iirsi came the veteran Grrnadiers and ChasscuTsa-
pied in theii brightest uniform and accOutermcnts
and 10 skillnl ia the Trcuchman in caring for his
clothes that. at the end of long campaign. he shall
look as if only ten minutes from his ca~crne; in the
the cavalry and dragons and in the center
of the cortcgc. preceded and followed by group Of
magnificent officers. in the midst Of whom the
heroic faces Of B.rhier, Of Dmoc, and Of Da-

resisted the temptation Of splendid dress, if II ever

forever memorable in history.
As in all cases where a de,pot tries to wrcst from

this devastating march and glorious triumph Of Ma
