German Ruler Leaves $4,000 at
Windsor Castle for the Servants.
London. Dec Histories concerning
royalties who have been recently visiting
England are still going the rounds. The
Kaiser's liberality is spoken of as notable,
even for great monarch on "a last visit.
He left $4,000 for tips for the servants
at Windsor Castle, and his generosity
was everywhere on the same scale. The
Emperor's visit to England must have
cost him many thousands of pounds. His
departure was great relief 10 the detec-
tive force. who had as unobtrusively as
possible kept close watch on him all the
time.
King Alfonso'S departure. however. was
far more welcome to that hard-worked
body. The Kaiser's programme might be
strenuous. but he always adhered TO il;
but Alfonso. who was presumably in
greater need of safeguarding. was great
trial
He had no respect for programmes. He
would change his mind at the last minute
and dash off in motor. when something
entirely different had been arranged.
