A PRINCES

The German emperor likes to study the
characters of his group of small sons,
and to that end has given them a room
next to the one used for business pur-
poses for himself. A certain great sci
entific man, having on one occasion an
interview with the emperor, left his hat
in the adjoining vestibule. There the lit
tie brothers discovered it; and the crown
prince, explaining to the younger ones
that papa sometimes sat on his opera
hat and it came all right again, proceed
ed to give a practical illustration of this
statement, to the ruin of the beaver. The
emperor's door suddenly opened, and
papa and the professor appeared. Like
a manly little fellow, the crown prince

When the German emperor was al
school at Cassel, he and his brother.
Prince Henry, lodged in an old castle
near, but in the school the two boys were
treated exactly like any other youngsters.
On one occasion, it is related, a master,
knowing that Prince William was back
ward in Greek, and wishing to curry
favor with him, told him secretly what
the subject of the next days examination
would be. Early next morning the prince
went into the classroom Inc wrote the
information on the blackboard in huge
letters, not wishing to have any unfair
advantage over his schoolfel1oWs.
