is no proof that the turbulent young
Count whom the Ghancellor hasstriven

either the prescience or the courage OF
his sire. To borrow q Jotnsonian
phrase, he has all the nodosity of the
oak without its strength, and all the
contortions Of the sybil without her
inspiration. Nor can it be said that
Count Herbert has been trained in az
good school. Adyensity Is the. best
school for genius, and it was in long
years OF storm and stress that his father
discovered and exercised those mar
velious gifts Of forethought and sagaeity
which have made him the foremost
minister OF the century. But the very
magnitude Of his success has deprived !
his son Of all possibility Of profting by
the advantages which stood his father
in such good stead. Count Herbert

her Imperial gMajesty may yet
achieve q glorious and bloodless re-

throne OF Germany. But she has
within her grasp the leadership ofa
cause far@more important than that
which the yalor and sagaeity Of The
Hohenzollerns crowned with victory
before the gates OF Pa:is. It's possible
for her Imperial Majesty to make her
