'HAVE" NO MANNERS
Young German Prince Says This
of Americans.
AdeIbert, Third Son of the Kaiser,
Says We Are the Rudest Peo-
pie In the Whole n
World.

New York.-We are the rudest peo-
pie in the world. Prince Adelbert.
aged 81, third son Of the Kaiser, says
so and when a prince makes a state

Ito contradict him. The fact that
recently two young Americans did re-
fuse to acknowledge his royal prero-
gative to boss" is the reason for his
conclusion that Americans have aD-
solutely no manners" The young
man has been spending the summer at
a famous European pleasure resort,
also patronized by large NUMBER OF
society folk from this country. Ten
mis- has been the favorite sport OF the
young folks from 'the States" and the
prince, who is a splendid player, made
a great many friends among them.
One Saturday afternoon he had been
watching with great interest the Drill
liant play of Bernard Dell, the we'll
known athlete of Princeton Un1ver'
sity. The game over, he asked Mr..
Dell to play single with him on the
morrow.
-
Sorry said Mr.. Dell, but | never
play games on Sundays" -
"But ask you,' insisted the prince.
Sorry again" replied Mr.. Dell, "but
cannot go against my religious prin-
ciples--not even for you"
Well, this was a situation with
which the prince had never had to
cope before In the whole course Of his
life, for when royalty says II ask" it
means nothing else but Fl command"
and here was o person who refused to
be commanded There was nothing
he could do so "he done It," but it was
a wrathy young prince who strobe

CHAPTER XII.
IN the Presence Of sheridan

In the Presence of Sheridan.
1t had been dark for nearly an hour
before we entered what was from all
appearances large and populous
camp. No sooner was l thrust into
the unknown darkness of hut by the
not unkindly sergeant, than l threw
myself prone on the floor, and was
sound asleep before the door had fair
ly closed behind him.
My rest was not destined to be a
long one. 1t seemed l had barely
closed my eyes when rough hand
shook me again into consciousness.
The flaming glare of an uphfted pine
knot flung its radiance over halfac
dozen figures grouped in the open
doorway. A corporal. with a white
chin beard. was bending over me.
Come. Johnny" he said tersely,
get up you're wanted.
The instinct of soldierly obedience
in which had been so long trained
caused me to grope my way to my
feet.
What time is it, Corporate" I asked
sleepily.

Headquarters" he returned brusque-
ly. Come, move on. Fall in, men,"
Our march was short one, and we
soon turned abruptly in at wide
open gateway. High pillars of brick
stood upon either hand. and the pas
sage was well lighted by a brightly
blazing fire of logs. Two sentries
stood there. and our party passed be-
tween them without uttering word

lently sitting their horses in the

gravelled walk, bordered, l thought,
with flowers, led toward he front door
of a .commodious house built after the
colonial type. The lower story seemed
fairly ablaze with lights. and at the
head of the steps as we assembled a
young officer came quickly forward.
rs this the prisoner brought in to-
night?"
The corporal pushed me forward.
"This is the man, sir"

He rested one hand, not unkindly,
upon my arm. and his tone instantly
changed from that of command to gen.
erous courtesy.
"You will accompany me, and per-
NIT me to advise you, for your own
sake, to be as civil as possible in your
answers tonight. for the old man is
in one of his tantrums."
We crossed the rather dimly lighted
hall. which had sentry posted at
either end of 1t. and then my con-
ductor threw open a side door, and
silently motioned for me to enter in
advance of him. 1t was as spacious

KAUFMAN NO MATCH
FOR jim FLYNN
Giant Californian Was Knocked to the
Mat Eight Times Before Being
Counted Out.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 6.-With a
hard right swing to the jaw, Jim
Flynn of Pueblo, Col, knocked out AL
Kaufman of San Francisco in the
tenth round of their fight here last
night.
Never before in his career had Kauf-
man suffered such punishment as he
received here last night. Eight times,
Flynn f1oored him. Three times did
the giant Californian take the count
OF nine, and after each knockdown he
saved himself from an immediate
knockout by clinching his opponent
and holding on to gain strength.
When the knockout finally came a
minute before the fight was scheduled
to end, Kaufman was bloody and
pitiful sight. Blood was streaming
from his left eye, which was closed in
the third round. His face was mass
of bruises.
Other than badly swoolen face,
due to Kaufman's left jabs, Flynn was
apparently unhurt.
Flynn fought his usual bull dog bat.
tie. He rushed Kaufman at every op.
portunity. With lowered head the
former fireman would charge his taller
and heavier opponent swinging rights
and lefts which usually went home
Flynn used his left most frequently
He landed at least twenty hard swings
with this hand alone.
Kaufman was unable to ward off
Flynn's blows when once he started a
rush. Kaufman was SLOW
During two rounds, the first and the
fifth, the Californian got the kind oil
battling he wanted, but then he found
that his left jabs and right swings
were not strong enough to affect his
slugging opponent.
The result was never in doubt after
the second round Kaufman took the
count Of nine in the third, ninth anG
tenth round. He went down for two
seconds in the fourth, five in the sew
enth, and seven and eight in the tenth
Twice during the tenth round Kauf
man was knocked through the ropes
Once, perplexed Danny Shay, the ref
cree, helped Kaufman back into The
| ring after the fighter had lain helulesE
for eight seconds. Kaufman was ou
for fully five minutes after Flynn hat
been declared the winner.
Flynn weighed III pounds and Kauf
man 205.
Flynn received $1,750 and Kaufman
$2,25O.
