Shah Put Dignifled Officials on Skates. King Who Liked "Rough House."

From London Tit-Bits.
 Although the Kaiser has been known to allow one American millionaire to slap him heartily on the shoulder, and an- other to tell him that he is "a jolly good Iellow," without showing a trace of of tended dignity, he is said never to permit the least familiarity from even the most exalted of his subjects.
 And yet no monarch better enjoys a joke at the expense of his officials, as was recently proved by a remarkable photograph presented by him to an ad- miral who usually accompanied him on his yachting expeditions. On a recent trip this admiral was not present. and his majesty, in order to show him what he had missed, had a wonderful photo graph failed representing a gigantic and fearsome sea serpent gliding through the water within pistol shot of the imperial yacht.
 A more fro1icsome monarch is the Shah of Persia of whom the following story Is told: During his last visit to Paris the Shah just as he was leaving his ho- tel summoned the two police inspectors who always accompany him on their bi- cycles and begged the loan of their ma chimes, as his court marshal and chief chamberlain were anxious to try them. These dignified officials had never been on a bicycle in their lives and great was their consternaton when their royal mas ter commanded them to mount the un- stable steeds and ride away.
 There was, however, no escape, so sum- moning up their courage the two digni- taries tucked up their frock coats, got somehow astride of their respective wheels and began to wabble down tho Champs Elysees. they had scarcely gone half a dozen yards, however. before crash! went one machine, and then the other, and the gallant riders were sprawling on the ground, while the Shah laughed so consumedly at the ludicrous spectacle that he was obliged to dry his eyes with his handkerchief. "All you want is lit- tie practice" he gasped between his par oxysms of laughter as the fallen heroes picked themselves up and began ruefully to brush the dust off their garments.
 On another occasion his majesty put

death the King had his body dressed in state uniform and buried in wine casK.
 Charles III loved to go abroad in dis
 guse, assailing his subjects in the coarsest terms. He would enter the shops of vendors of breakab1e materials, and taking up a mirror or drinking glass would let it fall to the ground. laughing unrestrainedly at the damage that he had and at the abuse that was showered on him. And, to give but one more eX- ample Peter the Great loved at Chris mas time to take part in the annual sledge procession, in which the clergy. gorgeously attired, stopbed at certain houses, sang a carol and received char itable offerings.

several of his most adipose and grave courtlers on roller skates, and was so convulsed by their antics that he had to command them to desist.
 But perhaps no living sovereign relishes a joke of this kind more heartily than the irrepressible King of Spain, who is never so happy as when he is shocking his grave and decorous courier. Only the other day, it Is said. he interrupted an interview with one of his ministers to show him how cleverly he could turn somersault. an acrobatic feat which he also performed for the benefit of Queen Alexandra short time ago in one or the corridors of Buckingham Palace.
 Francis I practioed some cruel jokes on Jacob Paul von Gundling, an eminent scientist. on one occasion dressing up monkey in clothes similar to those worn by the professor and making the latter embrace him in public and acknowledge him as his own son, and on Gundilng
