perjury. Probably the world will
never know for what price it was that
he sold his professional honor and
swore that a dying man would re-
cover.
Perhaps it was only sympathy for
one OF his countrywomen whose lot
had fallen in hard places, an English
Princess who looked to him to recon-
pense her for a lifetime Of insult and
suffering and neglect. At any rate
Mackenzie, who had had his instruc-
tions from the Queen mother before
leaving England, stated that Fred
erick was not prey to mortal dis
ease. Frederick's sufferings were
quieted with morphine to enable him
to go through the ceremonies preced-
ing bis installation and his wife's
flinty will supported him up the steps
OF the throne to die there in three
months.
At the time of Frederick's ascen.
sion there were in the hands Of the
Baron Kohn no less than $40, 10000 in
cash. the old Emperor's private for
tune, which was transferred to his
son, with the understanding that il
was to be used for the benefit of the
HohenZollern family. When Fred
erick died scarcely any of this money
was left. Nearly the entire sum had
been transferred to Auguste and in
vested abroad, her uncle. the Duke
Of Saxe-Coburg Gotha and Leopold
of Belgium named as trustees.
This use Of the fruit of old Will
Jams thrift naturally enraged the
German people. and they declared
that Frederick had been put upon
the throne merely to enable his wife
to plunder the royal family Of Ger
many and thereby benefit the royal
family of England, swelling TIE In
come of he- profligate brothers.
1t was this disposal of her hus-
bands fortune that widened the
breach between Auguste and her son,
the present Emperor. This bitter
ness was never overcome. As she
made no concession to her husbands
family, she made none to her son.
The feeling between them deepened
into an Intense animosity and an ab-
solute lack Of filial consideration op
the young mans part. He made no
effort to curb the slanderous abuse Of
his mother by the German press. He
never permitted her presence at court
and never visited her. He unneces-
sarily curbed her liberties of speech
and action, and she was practically a
prisoner at Friedrichshof, where she
died.
During the latter months of her
illness she shut herself away from the
semblance Of sympathy, knowing that
there was no true affection for her.
Her own people were far away, her
husband dead, her brother, the King
of England, had always been bitterly
jealous of her superior mentality. her
former subjects eXecrated her, her
son had left her unprotected to their
persecution.
Whether John Stuart Mill and the
consciousness Of having held her own
and maintained consistent policy
comforted 50 desolate a death bed,
no one can surmise.

Small Town Funerals.
1t may be said the funerals make
up the social life Of many small towns.
Social endeavors become discouraged
The courier., 1901-08-17

our little western towns are OF thell
own making, and are not brought
upon them by God or the railroads OF
the weather.
Within the memory Of all Of us
there was plenty of life and enthu-
siasm in every Nebraska town. as
there is in Cheyenne or Deadwood
today The smallest village had its
euchre clubs and whist clubs and
dancing clubs. and nearly everybody
spent money beyond their means.
Then hard times and small crops came
along for awhile, and everybody got
remorseful and discouraged and more
or less bitter.
People who met with financial re.
verses turned about and said Spteful
things about their friends who had
been more fortunate. and these
friends, being human, withdrew with
in wall of haughtiness and answered
back with scorn.
AS the phrase goes, people ''got out
of the habit Of going" to see their
friends, and soon enough they got out
of the habit Of caring about them
at all. Now some Of them are pes
simistic and lay it on the weather or
the corn. 1t would be no great won.
der if the corn did get tired of grow.
ing to feed selfish and grouchy people.
In little eastern towns factions and
Indifference are to be expected.
There are old blood feuds that have
been handed down for generations
and there are caste lines that every
body regards. But in western town
everybody has second chance and
begins again with no past behind him
and a clean slate. He doesn't have
to he mean because of tradition; be-
cause his father sanded sugar or
watered his hay before he sold it.
Everybody has an opportunity to
help in making a social side to life
that will benefit him and his chill
dren, but be won't do it because he
doesn't like this fellow or that fellow
doesn't like him.
There is one thing the small town
man and woman will not do, and that
is show courtesy to people whom they
do not like: they hold such conduct
to be bare deception. The fallacy of
their theory is that nine times out of
ten if they sat down beside these
same distasteful people for an hour
and did their part to sustain con-
versation. their hatred would vanish
and their action would cease to be a
deception.
William James, the psychologist,
has so admirably explained that so
often the act precedes the feeling in
matters Of courtesy and kindness. If
it were necessary to feel strong af-
fection for people in order to consci-
entiously dine at their house or invite
them to your own, there would be few
dinner parties in the world.
Most Of us don't try to love our
friends after We are eighteen, un-
less we are fools or geniuses. We
take them for what they are worth
and let it 60 at that, knowing perfect
ly well that we ourselves are in need
OF reciprocal charity.
The small town lets its social ar
rears 20 and 60 until people are buried
beneath an ashamed sense of their
own remissness, and then they try to
make it all up at funerals. When
anyone dies whom they haven't
broken bread with or called on for

continued to object TO the dishes she
preferred, her style OF dress. the books
she read, her rearing and manage
ment OF her children, and lastly TO
point out to her the vengeance Of
heaven in the cruel disease OF which
she died.
When her first child was born she
was unable to nurse the infant. Bis
marck forgot all affairs Of state to
interest himself in the matter.
"What. in Gods name, could be ex-
pected Of a woman who read John
Stuart Mill?" OF course she could
give no heirs to the German throne.
She had imported English nurses, had
she, and yet the government must not
interfere?
Then came the great misfortune Of
the Princess's life. when one Of her
English nurses, against whom the
people protested so bitterly, droppe1
the present Emperor in infancy and
crippled his arm so that it remains
shrunken and shriveled to this day,
marring his otherwise good physique.
What the mothers feelings might
be about the injury done her child,
the people never stopped to inquire.
She had married a German Prince
and crippled an heir to the throne.
That German nursemaid might
have been similarly unfortunate was
not admitted. No German woman
had ever been known to drop baby,
once she got her clutches On it, while
in England women read John Stuart
Mill. perhaps even the nursemaids.
and what could they be expected to
know Of babies?
For several months after the acci-
dent the Princess was openly hissed
and insulted when she appeared in
her carriage.
Whatever Frederick's feelings may
have been about his wife's radical
views. he at least apparently support
ed her. 1t was OF course impossible
for him to attempt to adjust her diff.
ferences with the Chancellor or to
give her any sort Of political support.
but the support OF husband he gave
her at all times. Year by year, how
ever, his wife's feelings and preju-
dices dominated him more and more.
aud bis failing health increased his
dependence upon her and his debt to
her.
Fritz had an extremely chivalrous
nature and he felt keenly all his wife'S
unhappiness, her deprivation and her
devotion TO him.
This led him to commit his one and
only offense against the German peo-
pie, when he deceived them to be
their king in name and to place his
wife upon the throne for ninety days.
1t was a crime of consent rather
than of intention on lis part. how
ever. Auguste had decided with all
the Guelph in her that she would be
Empress Of that hated people who had
caused her so much suffering. She
decided as her mother and great
great grand father could decide, and
Fritz was putty in her hands.
The Crown Prince was in bed OF

dying, his throat half-eaten away by
the cancer that was to kill him. Ger

1t is an old and accepted difficulty
in the world of storytelling that.the
man who can knock about the earth
''for to admire and for to see," never
gets settled down to the chronicliug
of his experiences, and the man who
is industrious enough to work up some
skill in the telling of things, can't
afford to take the holidays that would
give him the best Of material.
While young men were scurrying
about the world in search of material
and adventure, the best Of adventure
stories came from the sick bed with
blOod-stained linen where Stevenson
wrote Treasure Island" and the MAS
ter Of Ballantray." One is often
tempted to wonder which of those
two likely Kansas boys gets the most
out of life, Will White, or Funston.
They grew up on the Deer creek and
tished and hunted together and made
their own adventures, and they went
to the University of Kansas together
and were sorry scholars, both of them.
Then they went out to find the god

believe White has had more..of her
than Funston. There have probably
been not few of those priceless me-
ments that only military achievement
seems to give in the little generals
life: but it is not improbable that
White has gotten as much pleasure
out of his friends brilliant career as
ever Funston has, minus the heat and
dust and thirst and mosquitoes.
Pickett never saw the beauty of his
charge at Gettysburg: thai was left to
the strategists who watched the
movement.
After all Funston is only Funston,
and he is limited to one game: but

one trembled for him. recalling the
story of the versatile ogre who turned
himself into an elephant, bear and

Secretary Hay has said to his friends
that no writing in the history of
American politics has equalled those
three character studies of Whites for
astuteness and brilliancy.

1t may be said the funerals make
up the social life Of many small towns.
Social endeavors become discouraged
in little western towns, like the crops
in the south wind.
1t has been argued before now that
il the people in the villages all over
the western states took more interest
in each other, and could manufacture
a smile when their neighbors had a
stroke of good luck, or could find
sympathetic word to say when they
were in trouble, that the corn itself
would take heart o'grace and see
some use in growing.

the neighboyhood they form ideal
places for holding an election.
Liquors are not sold in the room In
which the voting takes place, but may
be freely drunk there. Indeed. 1t is a
very exceptional election Judge who
does not have a capacioas krug on the
table before him, from which he occa-

tedious process Of balioting is going On.

by holding elections IN such places, as.

prietor, who expects to be reian bursed

visit the polls. Any Unusual amount
Of drunkenness on election IS. or at
least during city elections, which are
seldom attended by excitement of any
sort, is unknown.
