It was neither "diplomatic" nor "statesmanlike" for Wil liam to court a thrashing from a petty officer, was it? But, 10l even a Majesty of the Right Divine lias relatives! The Kaiser's mother-ln-luw found out William on the double quick ami so did some of his cousins, sisters and aunts. Tlie Mother-in-law was the one to mete out worst puiiislimrnt, as related hi these papers. [Continued from Yesterday.] It has been my privileges to meet practically all the Diplomats of my time. Spending my life at European Courts, I have been thrown into ftOUUSBTTRG TELEGRAPH relations with statesmen from all parts of the world. And after this long intimacy with Kings and Queens, with Princes and Ambassa dors, I do not hestitate to say that William seemed to have the least kingly mind of them all. I wit nessed his judgment of men and events while I lived in his house and listened to his opinions on world affairs. I wondered at his admira tion for the Sultan of Turkey: I saw his difficulties with the Czar of Russia; his dissentions with the Emperor of Austria; and all those erratic outbreaks which kept his Chancellor busy explaining. But even his Chancellor did not know cnongli to study the psychology of the greatest force on earth: Amer ica. Kaiser Aping Frederick Before tho war, I presume, from time to time you have seen para graphs in the papers setting forth the Kaiser's aspirations to emulate Frederick the Great. Though ana chronistic, there is nothing discredit able in such an ambition; yet members of the household, who like myself, saw William grimacing for lialfhours at a time before a mirror hanging by the side of a life-size portrait of Frederick, could not help feeling apprehensive that behind this there was more than vainglorl ousness. As a matter of fact, the monarch of the end of the eighteenth century and his successor of the beginning of the—twentieth have as little in com mon, outwardly and inwardly, as the second Budwig of Bavaria and the fourteenth Bouis of France had. That William, ocular disproof not withstanding, insisted upon imagin ing himself Frederick's counterpart, was hut a phase of his monomania of grandeur equivalent to the hallu cinations of which his late mad cousin was possessed. That a General can do everything was one of the Kaiser's pet phrases —because they, "receive their in structions from me." The court which is to adjudicate the Kaiser's crimes should make a note of this, for he has already com menced the coward's game of shift ing responsibility, of blaming his tools and henchmen for executing orders emanating from himself, and which no one dared to dispute. Berlin Gutters to Run With Blood For Weeks "William said he liked the Sultan as the embodiment of absolutism, as a ruler prepared to rule at the haz ard of seeing one-half of Ids people dead on the ground, that the other half may learn to obey." If, "he continued, my graiul-unclc, Freder ick William IV had possessed but a spark of the spirit that lives In the so-called sick man, I should be monarch in the true sense of the word today, though Berlin gutters might have run with blood for weeks in succession during March, '4B'." Yet William did not attempt to improve on Frederick William. When in November, Berlin "saw red," he tamely sneaked off to Hol land and hired an extra typist to take down his "defence." No doubt he meant what he said at Frankfort, namely that he would "rather see his forty-two millions of Prussians dead on the battlefield than give up one foot of ground gained by the Franco-German war," —what are human lives to him?— but as the forty-two millions and some twenty-eight millions more de cided differently, he found it con venient to step from the heights of the sublime to the depths of the ridiculous. Mnnlered Christians Don't Count His hands red with the blood of forty thousand murdered Christians, the Sultan received a colored photo graph representing the imperial family In a loving group,—Kaiser and Kaisertn apd all the children. "My master," our Ambassador, was ordered to say In his presenta tion speech, "hopes that this sim ple souvenir may be acceptable to Your Majesty as a token of the Kaiser's affection and eternal friend ship," massacres or no massacres. Twice the German envoy had tele graphed Prince Hohenlohe for fur ther advices on this piece of dip lomatic business; his first telegram seemed to Indicate that he looked upon the picture as a belated valen tine gift, or something of the sort. On being reassured of its up-to dateness, ho wired he would rather [resign than carry out so degrading ou net after what had liappcned hi Constantinople | but Hohenlohe, afraid of the scandal aura to ensue, persuaded Baron Baurma to with draw his threat, and so the presenta tion took place with due ceremony to both Majesties' profoundeat sat isfaction. Subsequently there was talk that the Kaiser was well paid for his pood ofllces to tho Buitan. Five million francs were said to have come from the Tschoragan Serai, to the Schloss, and our courtmarshnls, hoping to profit by this sudden windfall, woro in a happy mood In consoqucnoo; but their prevailing penury was not relloved, and tho customary offering of tho Padishah arrived as In former years, only moro promptly. Abdul sent Wllllnm long-maned ponlos from Barbary, and our lord ropald his autocratic colleague with some of the choice product of Trakohnen stud. Women Don't Understand about Mordering Subjects "Women do not understand about tlieso thtngss," was the Emperor's rejoinder when Her Majesty object ed to having her likeness and that of the children sent to the "wholesale murderer of Christians." "What do women know about being consequen tial? These Armenians were rebels, and my friend, the Sultan, treated them as I would treat a mob oppos ing my authority, any day." "But," pleaded Her Majesty, "Mar schall tells me it was primarily a religious riot, the Mussulmans fall ing on the Giaurs and killing them off like so many sheep." The Kaiser shrugged his shoulders. "I am shepherd of the Lutheran Christians in Prussia," he said, "those in foreign lands must take care of themselves." And later he sent Frince Heinrich on "the new crusade, to uphold the Cross and punish the slayers of Christians in China." But, then, William had never dined with the Son of Heaven, and that worthy's Viceroy, Li Hung Chang, when he visited Germany, utterly failed to live up to William's expecta tions. Kaiser's T/oose Tongue The craze to "show oil" is egoism on its hind logs,—a very different brrfnd from the harmless nmusement William found in pronouncing toasts to his grandmother in the words: "I drink to the health of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, Chief of my First Guard | Dragoons," or even from the speech the Kaiser made in deposing Count Waldersee as Chief of the General Staff, when he insinuated that, by burying him in the province "where Her Majesty, the Empress, first, saw the light," royal honors (instead of a slight) were conferred. Some of our courtiers excused all the Kaiser did on the plea of impul siveness, a condition which they take to be an attribute of genius. Wheth er his egotistical brutality broke up a banquet, as it did when he drove to the Casino of the Guard Dra goons merely to say that as Counts Herbert and Wilhclm Bismarck were in attendance, ho, the Kai ser, preferred to eat at home, or whether ho spoiled a family reunion by revising the guests' list,—whether he imperiled future politics by ac cusing a Crown Princo to his father or by making ill-natured remarks about another heir's bride-elect, — these complaisant clawbacks said the sovereign must neither be blamed nor criticized. But woo to others assuming like privileges! There was Nicholas, C'zar-to-bo of all the Russias, but merely a gay young gentleman when a visitor at our Court. Insulted by the Czar No wonder a week of state ban quets and parades, and parades and state banquets, made him long for less formal amusements. On the evening when the Kaiser and Kaiserin and the rest of the nation's great were expecting His Imperial Highness at the palace of the Russian Ambassador, he sent his regrets, adding that he was enjoying himself so hugely, it would be a shame to break up his party. Ivniser Slighted. He Couldn't Believe It Possible! As we sat down without the guest of honor, William's face was a study: wrath, tempered by surprise, was pictured in every line of it. He showed his annoyance, yet seemed to be incredulous of the slight offered. As Her Majesty expressed it, he thought for a time it was all a joke; that any one in his sober senses should dare to affront him, he re fused to believe. However, even before Roman Pupch was served, everybody in the To Absorb Freckles And Other Blemishes Every spring numerous inquiries are made by girls seeking some re liable recipe for removing freckles. Very favorable reports have been received from many who have used mercolized wax during the freckling season. The wax seems to possess unusual properties which completely absorb the freckles, with no harm ful effect whatever.

For rough, spotty skin, sallow ness, blackheads, pimples and all cutaneous blemishes, this treatment is superior to any other. HIS LIFE'S OUTLOOK HAS BRIGHTER HUE Arthur Miller, of Drexel Hill, a suburb of Philadelphia, says he Is a real optimist now, and that his outlook on life is brighter than ever. "I suffered from stomach trouble. The gas would accumulate around my liver and heart. Occa sionally I would have sharp twinges of rheumatism In the joints and muscles of my legs and shoulders. There was considerable belching of gas and a water-brash. A sour, acid stomach manifested Itself in an ugly, dark-brown taste, like bile. I bought Tanlao because I heard about tho good It did others.

They had a great time, those two royal bachelors and their friends, and when. Anally, His Tmperial High ness'e adjutant reminded him that It was necessary to prepare for supper nt the Embassy Nicholas avowed that ho preforrod an hour with his Mlgnon to an eternity with all the German Emperors and Empresses that ever lived. At the concert, I heard Count Schouvalow whisper to his wife: "The Kaiser Insists upon reporting this business to the Csar, with all do tails, the Empress Frederick's protest and my own notwithstanding. As for Duke Gunther, he told Her Majesty that he will kick him out of the army." The Duke of Schleswlg, according ly. got his walking-papers and Czar Alexander a furious letter, complain ing of his son's disregard for the de cencies of life and denouncing his proclivities for vice. But twenty one months later they carried Alex ander to the Peter-Paul Cathedral a dead man, and Nicholas, the slur red and despised, mounted the throne of the Northern Empire. As a flash of genius, too, those amiable pick-thanks praised the Kaiser's feat at Darmstadt, when standing on the castle balcony with the Czar, he suddenly placed his arm about Nicholas's shoulders, thereby giving the imperial camera man, on watch, a chance for a sensa tional snapshot. The Kaiser prompt ly turned the negative over to a Ber lin speculator, and soon the show windows offered occular proof "that the relations between Berlin and St. Petersburg were of the most cor dial character." But when the pictures reached Muscovite dealers, ten davs later, a decree of confiscation went forth; the photographs were prohounced apo cryphal, and the Russian official tele graph and news companies received orders to "feature this piece of in telligence and give wide publicity to the fact that a fraud had been prac ticed upon the public." A great storm was raised when the Czar and Czaritza, then staying in Darmstadt, refused to see the Grand Duke and Duchess of Badeu on the pica that their time was all taken up. "Nicholas must make time for the daughter of the venerable William I." cried our papers. Whereat their Russian Majesties were exceedingly amused. "That the Czar must do a thing, despite his disinclination," said Nich olas, "is an argument worthy of the 'nation of thinkers.* However, I val- Are Here For Easter fyou are paying S3O, $35, S4O or nore for your suits we can save nough out of your "CLOTHES iY" to buy other good things.
