EXPLAINED TO THE EMPRESS.
Kaiser ApoIogized For Length Of Ab.
sence From Her.

A characteristic story may be re-
lated of Emperor Wilhelm lis pecu-
liarities. One morning he made a call
on Count szoegyeny, then Austrian
ambassador at Berlin. The count was
! dawdling over his breakfast when his
valet announced, His majesty the
emperor"
AS the latter entered and took a
chair, he said: II have come for a
glass of beer and a chat, as I have
not seen you for so long. l will take
cigarette. And how is your wife,"
At that moment the baroness entered
the room, and the trio held a pleas.
ant converse for some time. Sudden.
ly the kaiser looked at his watch and
jumped to his feet. Good gracious!
Have we talked 80 long? I must use
your telephone at once to bid the
empress good bye, as I haven't time
to return to the palace before starting
for the maneuvers. l must, however,
excuse myself to my wife," There
upon the emperor rang up the en-
press to whom he spoke as follows:
Don't be angry. have chatted so
long with Szoegyeny that l must drive
to the station from here, so I cannot
give you my parting kiss. I am very
sorry"
Chess Player a Freak.
Careful men do not regard a clever
chess player as a. man of powerful in
tellect except in playing chess. The
mightiest masters of the game have
been great only at chess. On the
other hand, whist calls for more in.
tellectual free-lance play, acting on
the trained inspiration Of the moment,
az occasion requires. Chess is work.
ed mechanically. by established rule.
and can be learned thoroughly; but
whist as James Payn said, can never
be learned thoroughly, new and total.
ly unexpected leads and plays crop.
ping up at any moment, and you must,
''rax" your brains to meet them and,
Il smart enough, beat them.
