WILHELM OF GERMANY FOND
OF FLOODED EoUINES,
There's Nothing Germany's Emperor
Loves More-Elaborate and Careful
Training of the Animals Upon which
His Majesty Trusts His Royal Person

The young German emperor may be
cratic in many things, but he is a
thoroughly sane man in one at least
he loves a horse and is never happier
n when making a round of his sta
bles at Potsdam and Berlin, where his
I runs into hundreds. About two
hundred are carriage horses; the rest
are used for the saddle.
The news are principally supplied
from the imperial breeding studs.About
forty remounts are required every
year. In the spring the master of the
morse mi the two departmental direc-
tors travel around to the various studs
n make a selection from the four
year-olds not required for breeding
purposes. Horses for heavy work are
obtained elsewhere. Saddle animals
for weight are selected from among
English or Irish hunters, and swift
carriage horses are purchased in Hun
gary or Russia.
AT the head of the Berlin news is a
master of the horse, the clerical work
being in charge of a privy councillor.
The walls are ornamented with pic
lures of former occupants of the i'm
perial news, biped and quadruped, and
there is an admirable library of books
connected with the horse. The per-
sonnet consists mainly of active Off
GERS, the remainder are so-called volun-
teers, who, however, must act as re-
serve officers. The undress is a blue
frock coat with short skirts, cap,
white trousers, and jackboots. On pa
rade days the cap is changed for a
cooked hat and a red tunic, with heavy
cavalry sword. The assistants are
mostly non-commissioned officers with
a clean sheet.
The grooms and stable boys are also
selected from the cavalry and enjoy
many advantages, such as free lodging
and medical attendance. Their work
ing Jacket is red, but outside the news
they wear black, with white trousers
and riding boots, with the usual "chim-
ney pot" Whenever the kaiser uses his
low dog cart the groom changes his
livery for a brown one, the adler
pattern on the hatband being in gilt.
The kaiser's favorite color for car
rage horses is dapple gray, and these
he drives at nothing less than a kill
ing pace, whether in sledge or victoria
Popular rumor says that most Of the
splendid dapple grays that he received
as a present from a European monarch
were rendered useless by the imperia
driver within a couple of seasons. Hi:
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1898-06-25

In pairs which are driven from the
box. Driving four-in-hand from the
box is only resorted to in the Ease Of
the dapple grays. or when the kaiser
pursues the chase. In the news the
four-in-hand method is the so-called
a la Daumont-namely with positions.
For the six in hand there is only one
position.
On state occasions, when the kaiser
appears drawn by eight horses, the two
shaft animals are driven from the box,
the rest are led by grooms. The horses
are plumed, but the trappings are by
10 means gorgeous. Positions precede
the carriage, and in between them and
the leaders rides the master of the
horse or some other high official.
The kaiser very seldom drives single
harness, but the royal princes can Of
phaeton, which they themselves drive,
accompanied by their instructor in
pince-nez and silk hat. To every pair
of horses is a groom, and there are
three %"vets," who also have charge of
the smithy. There is an auction at the
stud twice a year, and the purchaser
has the advantage of knowing exactly
the kind of creature he is buying, in
asmuch as every defect Is conscien-
tiously committed to paper, and FAX
ing" is unknown. At such auctions,
says the Golden Penny, there is a reg
ular scramble to get hold of a "kais-
er's horse" for it is easy to ride, and
nswer as readily to the pressure OF
the knee as to the rein-in fact the
kaiser does much more with his leg
than with his hand, and the horses have
to undergo a special and laborious
training to adapt them for use by theil
imperial rider.

1T PAYS.
But 1t Is the Country Landlord whe
Is Paid.

But 1t Is the Country Landlord whs
Is Paid.
When you have been working all
winter long in the muddy, slushy city,
day after day, with almost no change
and you have undergone all the cares
and worries that are attendant on life
during the busy season of the year;
when your step is not as light and
firm as it was last autumn before you
began and your gait is more mincing
and your brow more furrowed, 1t pays
to &c to some quiet hotel in the coun-
try for about a month, says the New
York Herald. Yes, when your eye is
duller than it's wont and your shout
ders lower in their stoop and your sys-
TENS undermined and your temper
quite uneven, and your mental power
befogged it pays to go to some nice
quiet country hotel; it pays.
Oh, yes; when your tasks all weigh
upon you and the days seem never
ending and the nights all seem OPP
pressive, and your health is going I'M
der and the dear wife grows impatient,
and the children's faces longer and
your wi home not so CHEEKY, 1t pays
to take them with you to some nice
and quiet country hotel to spend a
month. 1t pays-oh, yes, 1t pays. You
bet your life it pays. 1t pays the land
lord!

NanoIean In Peters He'd.

Peter the Great hated Moscow, and
above all, that stronghold of oriental
intrigue and moral darkness, the Krem-
lin. If l remember right, he never in
habited the palace within its walls af-
ter he was a child. The old palace is
a network of incredibly small, low, i'll
ventilated rooms, some little bigger
than closets, painted in green's, blues
and reds, after the Swedish fashion;
rooms which seem, even to-day, to reek
of plots, intrigue and murder. Napol-
con, always a trif1e theatrical, insisted
on sleeping in the bed of Peter the
Great when he occupied the Kremlin
in 1872. The bed of the boy Peter
fitted the hero of Austerlitz to a nice
ty. 1t is a very abbreviated couch. In
the very heart Of this oriental palace,
with no window which gives on the
outer day and the open air, is the ter
, EN-, or women's quarters. The terem
was, to all intents and purposes, a
harem. The ladies', even the tsaritza
and the sisters of the tsar, were only
permitted to look down into the hall
of coronation through a carved wood
en- lattice, just as ladies do in every
harem in the east. They received nc

GENEALOGICAL TRAGEDY.
Book Was Found After h Estate
Had Been Lost.


Had Been Lost.
1t was one Of those big English es-
tates which was to make a great many
people rich if all the links in the long
chain of ancestry could be found, says
the New York Times. The legatees in
this country had twenty-one years in
which to prove their claim before the
property would revert to the crown.
Everything possible had been done and
one link was still missing. This was
an old family Bible containing certain
necessary records. 1t was supposed to
have been burned at the time of the
Deerfield massacre, but notwithstand-
ing, every effort had been made to find
it IL by any possibility it was in exist
ence, but without success, and the time
expired. Two years later, one of the
legatees, a New York woman, CHANGED
to see in a paper the advertisement of
a woman who wanted work. The ad-
v~ertiser had signed her name, and 1t
was a family name of the woman who
was one of the claimants for the Eng
fish estate. 1t was perhaps the persist
ent fascination which the earnest
searcher into genealogical records new
er loses, and the force of habit formed
in many years search for previous doc
uments which interested her at once.
She answered the advertisement in per-

who had died, leaving her in financial
straits, which had forced her to ad-
vertise for something to do to support
herself. But the strange and romantic
part of the story was that among old
books and papers which had been cher
ished as having belonged to her hus-
band the woman had the old Bible, with
its register of births and deaths, and
the only link that had been needed to
obtain the large estate, and now that it
was too late it was found where it had
been treasured simuly as a souvenir.

WILHELM AND HIS FAvORITE HORSE.

Hungarian greyS, known as fucker"
are used mostly as ''four-in-hands,"
and are under the superintendent of a
Hungarian trainer. There are in all
twenty of these, so that the kaiser can
always rely on having a team IN per-
feet condition.
The imperial saddle horses are Sc
lected with special care. The qualities
required of an animal to which Will
lam ii. trusts himself are speed, stay
ing power, perfect security in action,
steadiness under fire and amid popu-
lar demonstration, quick obedience, a
soft mouth, and noble appearance. 1t
is put through a daily exercise in order
to maintain 1t at the same perfect
standard. An animal that cannot come
out of the ordeal of training without a
mark against it's name is rejected with
out scruple, whatever be the other
qualities it possesses.
The method of training is no child's
play, but involves the use of a good
deal of apparatus and is most scientific
in its character.
The animal is attached by the sur
cingle between two uprights, and kept
going on the same spot, in order to
strengthen the leg muscles and lend
pliability to them. For horses that
show any signs of sluggishness, the
method called the Longe is employed,
which puts a livelier action into them.
Before trusting them between the
shafts they are ridden with saddle and
traces. and a number of the stable
BOYS hold on to these latter, regulating
the resistance according to the require
ments of the animal.
A by no means inconsiderable part
of the animals education is aiken up
with accustoming them to the sights
which, when the kaiser Is on their
back, will be included in their future
equine career-the march of soldiers,
the crowded, noisy streets, the music
of bands, the crack of musketry and
the roar of artillery. On the exercise
ground they are walked beside drum
mers, and ridden literally up to the
lannon's mouth, and now and again
the animals are treated to a perfect
pandemonium of noise.
The riders also come in for a train
ing-a capital idea being that of the
ball game on horseback. The ball is
attached to the groom, who continually
throws it into the air and catches it
again. By this means he is compelled
to give his attention to the ball and
to guide and control the horse with his
legs by altering the center of CRAWL
tation CT the body. He thus secures
for himself a free and easy seat in the
saddle. instead of anxiously following
every movement of the animal.
The usual method of Harvesting is

the climate of France is quite rapidly
