ought to be brought up after the fash

a horse, to fight with sabers and to
shoot; also to stand still for a very

German Horses Fail to Score.
William is very much concerned
about the German horse which lost
every important race engaged in dur
ing the past season, leaving the laurels
to foreigners, especially American
horses. He has come to the conciu-
sion that there is something wrong in
the German stud methods, and ap-
pointed the ministers of agriculture
and of war and the lord master of
horse, Count Lehnsdorff, to submit a
plan for far-reaching improvements.
The emperor believes that German
horse breeding should conform to the
methods prevailing in France. He
freely admits that the French cavalry
is better horsed than the German.
The kaiser has decided that racing
shall be permitted on several Sundays
during the season. Heretofore the
Protestant church authorities succeed
ed in suppressing Sunday races.

his name on the index for making fun
of Williams song. Bernstein said in a
lecture that "Aegir" was idle claptrap,

Prince Henry went to hunt with the
grand duke, previous to embarking for
Norway, the master of the hounds re-
membered Henry's disagreeable habit
of shooting people instead of game. So
he loaded his gun with blank cart
ridges. Henry shot rabbit-that is,
as his gun exploded the rabbit thought
he was killed and dropped. Still, when
Henry attempted to raise him by the
ears Bonnie took to his heels, where
upon Henry dispatched him with the
butt end of his rifle. Later on the
grand duke told Henry of the joke they
had played on him. whereupon the
prince sought out the rabbit among
the number killed and said he would
