A certain peasant and his wife, in
Germany, were married on the same
day as the Emperor and Empress, the
PEASANTS Christian name being Will
IAN. Their first child, a boy, was
born on the same day as the Grown
Prince, after which they had five other
sons each OF whom was born at the
same time as the five younger boys Of
the Emperor. The royal couple were
informed OF this and were exceedingly
interested in the very strange coincl-
dence, but this interest was intensi-
fed when, on the last occasion OF a
royal birth-viz, the little daughter Of
the Kaiser-it was learned that the
peasants wife in question had also
given birth to daughter on the same
day. So astonished we're the Emperor
