PHOTOGRAPHIC THE KAISER.

In Connection With which An Amusing
Example of Cou TT Etiquette Is fold.
"Have you seen the uniform of my
Garde du Corps?" asked the German
Emperor of H. w. Fisher of HdTpef's
Weekly. to whom he was posing for photo
graphs.
Mr.. Fisher replied that be had, aud
thought it would LOOK very we'll indeed
on a photograph.
"If that is the case" said the Emperor,
'please have you instruments carried to
the park in the rear OF the palace, and
await me at the beginning OF the high
road to the ! will ride over to
the parade in fifteen minutes, II will
give you a sitting on horseback before
leaving"
The Kaiser was as good as his word.
and before a quarter OF an honr lad
lapsed, appeared with his cavalcade OF
adjutants, court officials and lackeys at
the point mentioned. 1t was a NEST pic
Juresque sight. The Master of the Horse
in his scarlet and gold uniform rode at
the head of the proud column, followed
by a Number of grooms in the splendid
livery of the royal house. Then came two
Of the Kaiser's adjutants, one of whom
wore the gorgeous Garde du Corps
dress, with the black iron cuirass and tine
eagle-crowned silver helmet. The other,
Herr Won Moltke, a nephew of the late
Field Marshal, and q young man of i'm
mense proportions and a kindly face,
wore IN infantry uniform set off by much
silver ornamentRtion. Immediately after
them followed the Kaiser on q graceful
black charger.
He looked the very perfection of a pic
turesque and heroic rider. His strong,
bronzed face had perhaps a less pleasing
aspect under the heavy silver helmet, but
it bespoke the mans high position and his
quality as the "war lord" the title given
him by the constitution OF the new en-
pire.
While the Emperor was posing for us,
the spiritei horse became restless on &C
count of the flies, and the Emperor beck
oned the adjutants, who had halted at a
distance, to his side.
Then occurred a rather funny example
of courtly etiquette.
Herr Won Moltke, who had first p%erceiv-
ed the royal summons. galloped at once
to the side of his master, who told him in
a very few words what was wanted. The
adjutant raised his hand to his helmet,
bowed, and wheeling ar0und his horse.
rode over to the spot where the Master of
the Horse, all scarlet and gold, was
halting. 10 him he repeated the Kaiser's
orders, and this gentleman raised his
gold headed riding whip. which
was the signal for one of the mounted
ldCkoyS S0duulNS III JUG ISdL W appEodCu.
The lackey was of course not allowed to
ride past his Majesty, so he turned his
horses lead into a side alley, rode along
the alley till he was within jump
ing distance of the Master of the
Horse, and then, without II moments hest
tation. urged his beast to bound across
a deep ditch which separated the alley
from the grand road. He landed close
before the Master, and, with uncovered
head, received from him the Kaiser's Or
| ders for a ''fy-chaser''-third hand, SO to
speak. Immediately upon the Master of
the Horse finishing his sentence of com
mand. the lackey wheeled about. re
peated his dangerous voltigeur expert
ment, and then galloped at full
speed to the castle. where he summoned
two OF his unmounted colleagues loung-
ing on the piazza, These men immedi-
ateIy started off on d run towards the spot
where the Emperor was halting, tore off a
few branches from the trees while on the
way, aud proceeded to wipe off the flies
from the silky coat of his Maiesty's
charger. And all this occurred within tine
Slaca of abnut one minnie.
