Halninc the Donkey.

The late Emperor Frederick, when
be was Crown Prince, while walking
in the woods near the palace at Potts
dam one morning perceived an old
milk woman who was pounding the ass
attached to her milk wagon and talk
ing in an excited tone to the balky
animal.
What's the matter, my good
womanw asked the Prince.
II am in a great hurry to serve my
customers with milk" replied the old
woman, who did not know the Prince.
.'and this accursed brute refuses to
bulge; but if you would be kind
enough to pull him by the ears while
I warm him up behind with this CLUB
be will go right along"
The good-natured Prince seized the
animal by the ears and tugged away,
while the old woman mauled the brute
with her cudgel. Sure enough, the
donkey trotted on, much to the Joy Of
the woman.
When the Prince told his mother
about it she rehuked him for being so
familiar with the lower orders, where
upon the Prince laughingly replied:
My father has helped many donkAy
along at court"
