Mr.. DOOLEY ON THE
PRINCES RECEPTION
ByFP puNNE.

THAT Prince Hinnery seems TO be
havin good time" said Mr.. Hennesy.
"He's havin tn tune iv bis !oife,"
said Mr.. Dooley. "Not since the Hohen-
zollern family was founded be wan iv
th' ablest burglars iv tn middle ages has
amy prince injyed such spree as this
wan. Ye see, prince is gr.reat man
in tn OIL country, but he niver is sc
gr-reat over there as he is here. Whin
he's at home. he's somethin' tn people
can't help, an they don't mind him.
He's like an iron lamp post, station'ry,
ornymintal an useful, to let people
know where they are. But whin he
comes to this land iy Republican sim.
plicity, he's al that the worrud prince
wud imply. an it implies more to us
thin to annywan else. / tell ye, wer'
givin' him tn best we have in tn shop.
We're shown i'm that whativer riv-
'rince We may feel tow'rd George Wash
in'ton, it don't prejudice US against live
princes. Th' princes we hate is thlm
that are dead an harmless. We've ray
ceived him with open arms, an I'll say
this fr him, that f'r a German he's a
good fellow.
That's as far as care to go, havin'
lived f'r many years among tn Germans.
I'm not prejudiced agin thin, mind ye.
they make good beer an good citizens,
an mod'rate polishmen, an they are
fond Of their families and cheese. But
wanrt a German always Dutch. Ie
cuddent make Americans iv thin II ye
called thin all Perkins an brought thin
all p in Worcester. A German niver
raaly leaves Germany. He takes it with
him wheriver he goes. Whin a Mayo
man absconds from his native country
he becomes an Irishman, an whin he lie
four miles out at sea, he is as much an
American as Preserved Fish. But a
German is niyer an American except
yhin he goes back to tn old country
to see his rilitives. He keeps his own
language, he plays pinochle, he despises
tn drink iv tn country, his food is
sthrange an he only votes f'r Germans
f'r office, or II he cant get a German,
fr some wan who's agin tn Irish, bet
ye il We was i'r to suddenly ask Schwartz
miester where he is, he'd say: AT Hook
hemer, in Schwabia. He don't raaly
know he iyer come to this country.
I've hcerd h,m talkin' to himself. He
always counts in German.
"But | say about Prince Hinnery that
FRA German he's all right, an I'm glad
he come, | hear he wrote home to his
brother that is tn imp'ror over there:
Dear Blum: This is wonderful coun.
thry, an they've give me a perfectly
KILN rayciption. I've almost died
laughin'. We was met forty miles out at
sea be a band on raft playin' "the
Watch on tn Rhine" We encountered
another band playin' tn same plain
harmony ivry five miles till we got up to
New York. | wisht had come over on

sintatiyes iv tn press, singing. 9TH
