On the contrary the emperor is easy with them and is much more indulgent personally and, through the tutors, than the average Englishman is to his children. The Kaiser allows his sons to sleep soft feather beds with feather beds over them in good German fashion. They can eat all products of the field and dairy. They can travel as long as they desire so as it does not take them out of Prussia; and as for animals and playthings, they can have agything under the sun they see!

 THE BEGGARS. Every morning at Potsdam the court car riers come riding to the palace with great bags of mail. These are largely begging letters. A good German widow of a Ger man soldier needs shoes that she may send her boys to school. They will become, in time, good soldiers in His Majesty's army. Another contains a plea from a woman whose daughter has a magnificent voice and who will become second Lind if she has a chance. The Kaiserin is deeply moved by the appeal and wishes something sent to the woman.
 It is manifest that If hundreds of these daily draw upon his purse tho Kaiser would soon be a penniless sovereign, there- fore upon reading these appeals the Reich stag decided to devote an annual sum to these people, and moreover 1t appointed two salaried officers to read the appeals and proportion out the donations to them.

The writer had the pleasure of stand ing in the hallway of the new palace at lPotsdam a few weeks ago. under pleas ant and unusual conditions. As a decora- tor. one of a party sent by a firm in Ber- lin, permission had been obtained to inspect the royal halls.
 It was afternoon-precisely 5 o'clock the hour when the German royal family take tea in the small dining room in the right wing of the palace. At the door stood the Kaiserin, with her seven chill dren grouped around her. Galloping up the broad roadway leading to the main entrance was approaching the Kaiser, with his hunting guard back of him. To his right and to his left were the military guards, without whom he never stirs out! The Kaiser's restive black horse was danc- Ing furiously with the home scent inflat- Ing his nostrils, and the Kaiser himself seemed impatient.
 At the foot of the steps His Majesty sprang from his horse and flung the bridle into the hands<of groom, reaching down he pulled off his spurs and flung them at another groom with a wave of his great hunting glove. The guard dismissed rode away, and the Kaiser turned without even a backward look at the faithful men who had ridden up the roadway with him. He dashed up the steps and into the arms of the Kaiserin.
 The decorators turned away their eyes but they need not have done so, for the Kaiser had no thought or intention of a secret caress. He kept his arm around the Kaiserin while the two walked through the hallway, and with his dangling arm he patted the head of first one clamoring little prince and then another. The little

 Wilhelm II-second to none, as his ene- mics love to call him-takes his meals with the regularity of an American clerk He breakfasts with his wife alone at ' O clock every morning, one hour after Her Majes- ty rises to prepare the coffee. At 1 o'clock he has good German dinner cooked from a-bill of fare laid out by the same feminine hands. At o'clock he has tea, a fond ness for which he infierits from his Eng fish mother, and at the German Royal family sits down to supper which con- ssts of articles such as might be purchas- ed cooked from any German delicatessen in New York City.
 Out of his home the Kaiser may be am- bilious and cratic, but as soon as he walks under the arch of the Potsdam pal ace he Is strictly family man.
 There is probably no man in the public eye. with the single exception of Bismarck, who had as few personalities away from home as the Kaiser Wilhelm. Married in February, 1881, upon his 22 birthday he has devoted his life from that day to this to the woman upon whom he bestowed his hand
 Frederick William Victor Albert eld- est son of the late Emperor Frederick III, was born in Berlin, January 27, 1859. On February 27, 1884, he was married to Prime ess Augusta Victoria Amelia Louise Marie Constance, daughter of the Grand Duke of Schleswig Holstein Sonderburg-A -Augus- tenburg.
 As true Hohenzollern he was educated more with reference to the duties of a soldier than to the demands which might be made upon him a statesman. How ever when he left the University of Bonn the academic rector declared he had shown all those good qualities by which his an- cestors had become great. The students proposed his health with honors, including the singing of the famous old song, "Bee
