Tho kalser,s Dual Personality.

Tho Kalscr's Dual Personality.
II had come away from Germany In
January, 1914, instead of In January,
1913, and had written the impression
I had gnined Of the kaiser In the ten
years 1 had known him, what a false

bearing was every inch an emperor and
yet who could exhibit all the courtesy,
affability and gentleness Of the most
democratic gentleman, man soft OF
eye and kindly In expression, man of

of the public.
During that period of my career in
Berlin, he showed the utmost interest
In my progress and frequently inquired
how my practice was developing.

have mentioned, he doubled. On a
number of subsequent occasions. he

These overpnyments never amounted

because thew were 40 ont OF keeping
with the stinpiness the kaiser dis
