Poultney Bgelow, in the Idler. tells a
story of the kaiser, a canoe, and the en-
press. One day the emperor accepted at
Mr.. Bigelow's hands a little cruising ca
noe of American build, and was very en-
thusiastic about it. His nautical eye ap-
preciated the usefulness of the little craft
for the purposes of exploring strange wa
tiers, and he made Mr. Bigelow sail it up
and down in front of the palace gardens
at Potsdam. Then he said with energy
IAN my boys shall be canoeists!' That
was splendid news to Mr.. Bigelow, for he
had the feeling that a boy is only half a
boy who cannot sail and paddle his own
canoe. Now, at that time, he had an idea
that the German emperor could do much
as he pleased-at least IN Germany. But
there he was wrong
The empress soon afterWard spoke to
Mr.. Bigelow about this canoe; and of
course, he spread before her the glories
of shooting down a swift stream, through
foaming rapids and between threatening
rocks. But her majesty did not share his
enthusiasm-at least, not for her children.
She said: "Oh, no! That is too danger
Gus. 1 shall never allow my children in
a canoe" But" protested Mr.. Bigelow,
1.-The emperor has already given his con-
sent" "Oh, that may be-" said she, with
the sweetest of smiles in the direction of
her husband, "he may be Emperor of Ger
