Early Loved Military Pomp.


Even as a child Emperor William
loved military pomp. 1t delighted the
-iittle prince to have the sentinels pre-
sent arms to him. Sometimes he would
run out not fully dressed to receive
hese donors. Great was his surprise
one day when the sentinels took abso-
iutely no notice of him. Burning with
Indignation, be rushed to his father and
Told him the terrible fact with the ut
most excitement His father listened
WIN sympathy, and then asked, In
Tone clearly expressive Of doubt:
Your dress is in perfect order, I

A world without mistakes and wit

A world without mistakes and with
out suffering would be world without
real men and women, without litera-
ture, without music, without painting
or sculpture, and without love, and
even without history, for history Is
record Of struggles toward better and
higher things. Without obstacles to
overcome and errors to correct men and
women would lapse to level with
beasts In mentality. Intellectual and
spiritual development would cease and
souls not refined by the fire Of ordeals
would die of something akin to fatty
degeneration. After all, it's pretty
fair sort Of world as it stands. Much
advice might have been offered at the
worlds making If a few experienced
old ladies had been standing By, but
the odds are that it would not have
been % good world as It n
