ago when the Kaiser was Prince VIII

out boating with Herr Ehlers, his fell
low student Their boat got swamped
and they had to call in the aid of a
bargeman to put il afloat again. The
prince had nothing less than "thaler"
in his purse, and asked Ehlers to give
the man some smaller coin. Ehlers
pulled out a "thaler" saying: High
ness, Let us give the fellow this sum.
The third parsonage of the empire
should be above pettiness." Prince
William did not like the remark, but
said nothing. Years elapsed. The
prince became emperor, and Herr
Ehlers won fame as an African explor-
