persons imagine. An example of this Is
CURED after the emperor and empress
visit to Bismarck at Friedrichsruhe.
"As they were driving away from the
scene of the triumphs Of the old chancel-
lor." saws Mr.. Dewey, Something hap
pened to one of the wheels of the carriage
in which the couple were seated. The
coachman brought the horses to q stop,
and II was found on examination that It
was necessary to procure another convey

Some farm hands were working In the
fields. and the lackey or the coechman ap-
pealsd to them for assistance in procuring z
means for transporting their majesties
to their destination. The field laborers
promptly appealed to their employer, and
in due course of time an old milk wagon

nor would have cared to make q mile in
It; but 1t seemed 10 suit the emperor to
the dot. The horses were hitched 10 .he
milk cart, and laying two bundles Of straw
in the front. so as to form a seat, and
placing a horse blanket over them, the
kaiser and the kaiserin sat on It. and

continues Mr.. Dewey. "Is Uhl. the leading
caterer of Berlin. BY the way, Uhl mar

the great New York brewer, Bechtel,
with whom he got something like q million

hour the kaiser rides in the Thiergarten
for his health. And 80 It happens that the
emperor and the chief caterer OF Berlin
meet 'Gruess d!ch Gott. Chlv the kaiser
will shout. at which Uhl will salute like
the old guardsman that he is. No fool

we would say In English, None Of that,
Uhl: we are comradesv And then they
will strike into q canter together like old

you have no reason to be ashamed Of your

Another thing about the emperor. ac-
cording to Mr.. Dewey, Is his considera-
ton for his soldiers. This trait Is thus IL
lustrated: "The sentries at the palace
whenever they behold a spr,g OF the soy.

IN the nurses arms, are compelled 10 come

the sentry on nettles by compelling him
TO prasent arms each time they appearad
