Thompson Feature Service. 1319, Copyright [Coiitiniicd from Yesterday.] Today these squabbles of crowned heads-lhat-were sound like echoes of the 18th century. William got offended with "Nicky" and rapped him on the wrists by denouncing him to Papa. Papa'died and left "Nicky" in possession. Then "Nicky** went and smashed William on ttio head. And now "Nicky" is as dead as bonis XIV, while the Kaiser and Kaiserin are as defunct as mutton, but less useful.

What His Majesty really said was: This one's grandmother was but a street- vagabond, peddling chestnuts. The news from Rome was an aw ful blow to my mistress, for up to .then she-had never given up hope that Victor Emmanuel would marry her sister Feo. * The Kaiser's brutal joke helped her over the embarass ing situation. "An excellent bon mot." she ex claimed; "it shall have a place in my diary." If the saying had but remained between the covers of that precious volume, the key of which rests on j Her Majesty's heart! But it was] thought good enough to become a| "winged word" among the friends of the imperial couple, and of course found its way to the Quirinal palace. Naturally the royal granddaughter of the Street Vagabond was not en thusiastic when William Invited her husband, the King of Italy, to com mit suicide in August, 1914. And she rejoiced exceedingly when first her father, the king of Montenegro, and later Italy joined the Allies against Austria May 23, 1915, for that meant, war against William sooner or later. On the whole the Kaiser's notions of making himself loved closely re sembled the rattlesnake's, only the rattler is more diplomatic. I Quarrels About a Frenchwoman ' Then came that affair with Am- i bassador Herbette. The representa > tive of France objected to the inti macy that had sprung up between ' the Kaiser and the French naval attache, M. de Graucy. i "Jf you understand your business, i you must know that you are notli ] nig but a well-paid aud highly-or- I namental spy," he is reported to I havo said to de Graucy; "how can | you serve your country if you allow i yourself to be bamboozled by im- I perial favors and dazzled by the monarch's amiableness and charm , of speech?" | To the Emperor, who had asked i him as a personal favor to desist | front his resolution to procure M. j de Graucy's immediate recall, the i brave Herbette made answer; "Par | bleu, Y'our Majesty, I insist upon i doing nty liouso-cleaning in my own i way." i These two speeches are matters of historic record and I may add • that the above version is from the j Kaiser's own lips;—l was present | when His Majesty reported them to the Empress. What the world i does not know, is the double mean , ing of the Frenchman's allusion to ! house-cleaning. An ambassador, like ■ other great lords, has two families, I a personal and an official one. De | Graucy belonged to the latter, and Herbette disowned Kim as soon as ! so extreme a measure seemed called j for. But by that time stories of the : Kaiser's faible for Madame Herbette I had reached the ears of her lius- I band. | Scant secrecy had been observed. I Frecfuenters of Pariser Platz, where ! the Embassy was located, had no ticed the Emperor's phaeton and pair in front of the hotel for half hours at a time, day by day, and had talked about it, first to curse William's apptirent zeal in "running after the French;" afterward, when they learned of the existence of a j beautiful woman in the case, to I smile approvingly and wish the sov i ereign success. . At court, the ice had been broken by a remark of the Princess of Meiningen, who said one day. when the Kaiser's France was discussed: "Yes, arid T understand ho has the good taste to be wanting in respect to a Frenchwoman of esprit, whom we all know." There was probably nothing at all in this talk, yet, whether there | was or not, Herbette decided to stop it. When invitations for a court ball arrived, he accepted, but three days | before the affair came off. he caused Madame to send her regrets an nouncing that llis Excellency alone would lie able io do himself the honor to attend the ball. Kaiser in a Rage House-marshal Baron Lyncker happened to have business in the Kaiser's study when the perfumed note bearing the ambassadress's in itials in silver arrived. "His Majesty," he says, "tore open the letter, and scanning its contents, exclaimed: 'Advise Eulenburg that the hall is off. lie must' at once recall the invitations.' "At Your Majesty's orders," said the dutiful Lyncker, "but as the greater part of the delicacies for the buffets are already in the hands of the chefs nnd pastry-cooks, while the sweetmeats were delivered a few hours ago, what is Your Majesty's pleasure with respect to these goods?" The Emperor had listened with every indication of impatience. "Never mind, the stuff that can not be used in the house may be sent to the hospitals," he said. Then, walking straight up to him and staring with flaming eyes into space, the Kaiser continued: "Do you know why 1 disappoint these several thou sand invited persons. Because I cannot permit Herbette to again set I foot in my house. He wants to come, but ho shall not. Indeed, I would rather see this Schloss in ! ruins than spend an evening with him in the same room." He read Madame let ter a second time, and acting as if a sudden thought had struck him, added: "The news that de Graucy is to go has just been confirmed. Tt is a direct insult and scandal, I will not rest until Herbette is made to leave Berlin." Kings Didn't Want William A few years before he died, the Czar Alexander had founded a sort or Imperial and Royal Hague.Con ference or Tribunal at his summer resort, his father-in-law's palace of Fredensborg, near Copenhagen. Wil liam, rff course, was most anxious to be of these gatherings of mon archs and kings of the future, among them the prince and Princes*, of Wales, the King of Sweden, the Hesses, several Orleans and Bour bons, etc., and my mistress had her hands full explaining why the Kaiser did not join these royalties. She asserted that the increasing vol ume of business made it necessary for His Majesty to pass by Copen hagen. Bat I have it on the authority of a high official in the Russian Em bassy that Czar Alexander distinctly refused to be disturbed in hie re treat by "that young man," while, at the same time, the Danish Minis ter in Berlin hinted that Queen Louise was not well enough to stand the excitement vf such visits. It saved the Danish Court a pot of money besides, for the Kaiser's suite was seldom less than sixty head strong, even when he traveled in semi-state. Imagine that gung, with appetites whetted by a sea-voyage, descending upon the little island Court, which, though not ashamed to exhibit its cocoanut matting in the rpyal corridors and its crazy little oil-lamps before the immensely wealthy Russians, must needs brush up and go on to no end or expense to make as good a showing as possible before these shoddy Ber liners. Besides, the Kaiser always expected that some military or naval display would be especially arranged for him. But not only poor kings, like Christian, objected to these Imperial invasions; at Rome and Vienna, not to mention the small German courts, the cry, "Tlio Rrusslans are com ing!" was sure to cause a panic. Once the Kaiser returned in high dudgeon from Vienna, whither he had gone unexpectedly to attend the Itinera! of Archduke Albrccht. Al brecht had been a good hater of Prussia all his life, and if his ideas had prevailed in 1870-1871 Austria would have fallen foul of the Prus sian rear and flank. This bad been repeatedly discuss- | ed in the press, and, in view of the circumstance, Eniporer Francis Jo seph \las loath to invito the Kaiser to the funeral. But William argued: "here is an event upon which the eyes of the world will be riveted for a day at least, —a pompous fun eral, —where one may cut a figure." William rushed off to Austria pell mell, but not without having pre viously instructed the overseer of the official scribes, to proclaim from the housetops that the German Em peror had magnanimously forgotten all about the late Archduke's evil intentions, and had gone to pay his imperial respects to the dead foe. The first effect of Wilhelm's sur prise party was the withdrawal from the obsequies of the dead man's brother-in-law, the Bavarian Prince Regent. Luitpold, had no ambition to walk behind William. The Ilof burg officials wero thrown into the utmost confusion. The place of chief mourner had been reserved for Francis Joseph; now there were two kaisers to be treated with equal distinction. From mineral to Vaudeville However, the funeral passed off without a hitch; but William soon found that Francis Joseph, was not in the hupior to talk politics. lie would neither argue about Faure, nor about the question of the re newal of the Triple Alliance. This the Eiupcror himself report ed on coming home, blaming, every body but himself for the rebuffs ex perienced. What he did not tell (the Empress learned of it later through her brother, who had it ftom the Prindbss Philip of Co burg) was that Francis Joseph treated him with so much coolness that His Majesty left his apartments in the Hofburg and took up llis quarters with Philip Eulenburg, at the German Embassy, where the ob ject of (lie visit was lost sight of at an informal dinner enlivened iky songs and dances where hired vaudeville stars and the ambassa dorial troubadour himself per formed. And that happened a year after William had called Francis Joseph, at Pola, "my best friend, with whom I am united in sincerest friendship, and who is my most loyal compan ion in arms." The King of Saxony had to act as peacemaker between the two Emperors. llow the Kaiser Treated Chancellor Cnprivi "As a querulous and obstreperous servant," Chancellor von Oaprivi was sent back into obscurity—and Prince Hohenlohe (Uncle Chold wig) was appointed in his stead, whereupon our palace once more became a place where one could eat and sleep in comfort, go to bed at stated hours, and set about one's morning toilet without fear of being called away at the most inoppor tune moment to decipher des patches, run errands completely out of one's sphere, or help to dry the royal mistress's tears. It looked so at least, but courtiers propose, and our dear relations dis pose. Hohenlohe had not been in "office a week when the fifty-six other Ilohenlohes (find them enum erated in the Airnanach de Gotha), fortified and backed by their one hundred and sixty-odd grandmoth ers. mothers, aunts, wives, ana daughters, began pestering their Majesties'with allusions to the great discrepancy between their kins man's modest stipend as Chancellor and his big salary as Emperor's lieu tenant in Alsace, —a difference of a round hundred thousand marks ($25,000) per annum.

However young our faces may appear the sagging, flabby figure and forty inch waist "gives us away." The cause of this over stoutness is that our stomachs convert the food We eat into fat because there is not enough oxygen in the blood to pro duce a proper combustion to destroy the excess fatty tissue. Fat people will he pleased to learn of a simple home method that is wonderfully ef ficient in reducing weight, qqjckly and easily without a starving diet, violent massage or strenuous pxer cise. Go to any drug store and get a box of Phynola; take five grains after each meal and at bed time. This treatment will often give quick relief from overburdening fut. Phynola tak en at meal time assists the stomach In giving you the benefit'of the food yon eat; at the same time dissolves the fatty tissue from any part, of the body where there Is excessive fat. By this method many have reduced their weight a pound a day and there is no flsbbincsH left. Gorgas, Druggist, stores, 16 N. Third St., Third and Wal nut Sis., and Penna. R. R.

"The Prince belongs, above all, to his kindred, whose glory and pros perity he is bound to help to in crease. And how can he live up to his duties as chief of the first branch of tlie younger line of the Hohon lohe-Waldenburg-Schlllingsfursts if he throws away a fortune every year of his life?" "Uncle Chlodwig," so ran another line of argument," is not a gay bache lor, but a father and grandfather, an uncle and cousin times innum erable. Dozens of Hohcnlohes, be sides his own children, depend for part of their inpome, at present or after his death, upon the noble old man, and to all these the enormous curtailment of salary is nothing short of a ca'amity." A third batch of correspondents bluntly stated that "inasmuch as Hohenlohe had consented to accept the Chancellorship to please the Emperor, His Majesty was in honor bound to make good his pecuniary losses."
