Of the Prince and difficulties
which beset the newspaper men
IN procuring the news demanded
by their editors and the conse-

sador, the following is worthy OF
relation: One OF the servants OF
the German embassy was sent to
the State Department on an
errand and some one asked him II
there were any newspaper men
about the embassy these days
The question set him off. These
news reporters-they drive me
crazy. Just think--the other
night the Ambassador is out al
dinner, and | hear the bell ring,
about IL o'clock. | think the
Ambassador has forgotten his
key. I hustle down, open the
door a few inches, and peep out
the man pushes it open-and It Is
news reporter from the New
York Sun. He says he wantt {
know about Prince Henry
give you my word it WASH t more
than minute until the BOSS
comes home and finds me there
with him. The manhides behlne
the door until the ambassador
comes in and then says, You
Excellency, l would like to ash
you a few questions about Primes
Henry. The boss says, AT this
time of night? You go hom'
where you belong, And ther
he goes up stairs; but, when th'
news reporter goes, he comes
down again, and lights into me

bassador. If another news re
