My Dear Mr. Taft cannot sub

desire a rigid enforcement OF the

you for protection against the wave
of radicalism and class prejudice

value to your national committee. =
will ch aerfully tender them.
VERY respectfully yours.

MRS. VlxEMHEAD.
The Story of a Berlin Shrew and Her
Likeness In Stone.

Likeness In Stone.
This quaint equivalent Of the Ger
man term neidkopf is applied by tray
elers TO an efhgy carved in stone and
fixed in a niche in the second story
of a house in the Heiligengeiststrass
in Berlin not far from the emDeror's
palace. The neidkopf represents a
hideous, harry faced woman with
snakelike curls and tongue protruding
in hooking derision.
One day some 200 years ago, the
legend runs. Frederick William of
Prussia, more Familiarity known as
Old Fritz, was walking about the
streets of the city in the unconvention-
al way he affected when be CHANGED
to look through window and observed
hunchbacked goldsmith hard at
work. The king entered the little shop
for a chat
The result of his interview was an
order for gold table service for the
royal household, an order that made
the fortune Of the hunchback Later
his majesty made other visits TO the
shop to see how the wOrl, was advanc-
ing, and on one Of these occasions he
Otf%'NA
the opposite house comforting her face
In the most hideous grimaces and
pointing with derisive finger at the
crippled workman.
To the kings query as to what allied
the old woman the goldsmith replied:
ut is envy. sire. She is the wife Of
a rival goldsmith, and ever since your
majesty SO graciously gave me this
order she and her daughter have re-
viled me-"
Frederick William, paternal in pun
ishment as well as in reward, at once
investigated as to the ownership of
the house in which the shrew lived
He found that it belonged to her hus-
band and therefore reasoned that there
was little likelihood of the family
moving, an idea that seemed greatly to
please his majesty. His next move
was to consult a sculptor, whom he
commanded to make the bust of a
woman with the most shrewish. Kan
tippe-like face he could imagine. The
king then bought and renovated the
house in which the hunchback had his
workshop. presented it to him and
caused the bust to be placed c0nspicu-
ously above the WOrkrOom window.
Thus whenever the enviOus woman
across the street looked forth from her
easement the first object on which her
eyes fell was this intended portrait of
her amiable self.
For more than hundred years the
neidkOpt-spiteful vixen head, as one
would say IN English-stOOd IN proud
prominence, a reproach to the envious
woman and her Descendants. IT after
ward mysteriOusly disappeared. but
FL 1910 or thereab0uts Ii was found IN
a forgotten collection Of bric-a-brac.
Frederick William IV. bought the bust
for large price and had II replaced
in its original niche, where # stands
today.-NeW York Tribune
