TRUE CAUSES OF THE FEUD BE- TWEEN PRINCE AND EMPEROR. \Vales Borrowed $3,000,000 of Emperor Frederick in Order to Settle With the Heirs of Sir John Mackenzie for the Amount His Old Friend Had Lent Him. Emperor William is cordially de- testcd in England. The English now regard him as the chief foe of Great Britain, not only in Europe, but in every part of the world. So it is prob- able that the Prince of Wales was prompted by a feeiing of deference to the openly expressed sentiment of his ' countrymen when he declined to enter his yacht Britannia for the Jubilee Cup of the Emperor. Indeed he re- fuse-d to take part: this year in any match in which the Emperor’s vessel was entered. Between the Prince and his nephew there exists a most bitter animosity. The antagonism dates back to the boyhood of the Emperor, who was never a pleasant or amiable lad. As long as Uns-er Fritz was alive, Emperor William took a back seat. Until a couple of years before his death, the late Kaiser was generally believed to be perfectly healthy, and so the prospects of young William suc- ceeding to the throne seemed exceed- ingly remote. The Prince of “'ales therefore paid very little attention to his nephew, except to snub him at every possible opportunity. He made no secret of the fact that he regarded him as a little cad. When Emperor Frederick become at- flicted with the terrible malady that killed him his son ”William allied him- self to his foes, and shocked all Eu- rope by his extraordinarily unfilial be« havior to his parents. He even went so far as to head a clique at Berlin, which aimed to deprive Unser Fritz of the succession to the crown, on the ground that he was afflicted with an incurable malady, “’illiam apparently forgetting that he himself could have been debarred from the throne on analogous grounds. . Fortunately old Emperor W'illiam put his foot down, and would not al- low either his grandson or his Chancel- lor to subject Frederick the Noble, as he still is called in Germany, to this act of injustice. But the fact remains that young William sided throughout the closing years of his father's life with the latter‘s bitterest enemies and after his death excited the indigna- tion of all Europe by his disgraceful treatment of his widowed mother, upon whom he heaped every kind of slight, until his own wild extravagances and her inheritance of the enormous for- tune of the Duchess of Galliera made him, to a certain extent, financially de- pendent upon her. The Prince of “Tales is very fond of his elder sister, Empress Frederick, and when, shortly after his accession to the throne, the' young Emperor seized his mother’s papers to see whether there were not secret documents of state amongst them, and also imprisoned a nhmber of her friends, including Prof. Geffken, the Prince proceeded to Ber- lin and remained there for several weeks, with the avowed purpose of shielding his sister against her unduti- ful son, who affected to ignore his presence and neglected all the custom- ary official cou-rtesies due to the rank of the Prince. Matters were further complicated by a financial transaction which led to- no end of ill-feeling between the Elm- peror and the Prince. When Emperor Frederick died it was ascertained that ten million marks or about $3,000,000 had been loaned by Frederick to his brother-in—law, the Prince of Wales, who was in painful financial straits, because the heirs of his ex—hatter, a friend, Sir John Mac- kenzie, had called upon His Royal Highness to repay the large sums loaned to him by that worthy, and had coerced him to settle, under threat of legal proceedings. The latter would have done the Prince in-calcuable injury, since they would have served to call public at— tention, not only to his financial trou-- blcs. but likewise to the fact that the late Sir James owed his title solely to having obliged England‘s future King by loans of money. The Prince that spring endeavored unsuccessfully to recoup himself by heavy play at Monte Carlo and at the clubs at Nice and Cannes. Finally he got into such straits that he turned for assistance to his favorite sister and to her husband. They came to his rescue. “Unser Fritz" loaned the Prince a sum of money suf- ficient to tide him over his difficulties, on the understanding that the Prince would repay it to the Prussian Crown when he should become King of Great Britain. Emperor William no sooner ascended the throne than he began to dun his Uncle Bertie for this money. Because Cecil Rhodes put the Prince in the way of making money in South African stocks. His Royal Highness was able to get out of debt to his abhor-red . nephew. The antipathy of thePrince for Em- peror \Villiam, which was shared by Albert Edward’s brother-in-law, the late Czar; by the King of Greece, and by all royalties who are contempora- ries of Wales, is likely to influence the political situation of the future. As long as Queen Victoria lives she. will he a restraining influence, not only up- on the English, but also the Germans, who cannot forget‘that she is their Emperor‘s grandmother, . that she spanked him freely when he was a boy, and that to this day, possi- bly in consequence thereof. she. is the . only person in the world to whom he is respectful—New York World.

It is a good thing to remember when one reads the account of some young man who has gone wrong that hon esty still exists in the world, and that courage and integrity are by no means without notable examples in the ris‘ ing generation. In which one of all the thrilling tales which boys delight to read is there pictured at truer hero than John Thomas, the 16-year-old lad who saved two of his fellow-workmen from death by fire, the other day, at the risk of his own life? An alarm of fire was give-n on one of the levels of a Tamarack shaft. Danger was imminent, and all near hurried off save young Thomas. He stood by his hoisting engine, because there were two miners working at the twenty-third level, and without the hoisting engine they could not escape. The flames were barely a dozen feet from his post of duty, and the fire it- self was no ordinary one. Six boxes of dynamite were standing in the cross- cut, near the hoist, and a spark from some careless miner’s candle had dropped into an open box. With the heat blistering his hands and face, young Thomas called to the men. in the winze to climb into the bucket, as there was a fire in the drift. Facing death, he brought the men safely to the floor of the level, not a moment too soon. as his clothing had begun to smoke from the heat. The Casablanca spirit lives as truly today as in times past. Well may praise and honor be accorded John Thomas, of Calumet—Boston Globe. WHEN THE QUEEN LAUGHED. A Funny Incident Which Greatly Amused Her Majesty. The tradition that “the Queen never smiles” is as old in England as her reign. The hundreds of photographs of her majesty sold in all parts of the world invariably show the one expres sion, the heaviness of the face accentu- ated by the pronounced droop of the long upper lip. But, nevertheless, the Queen does smile. A number of years ago Charles Knight, a photographer at Newport. Isle of “’ight. secured a likeness of 1191' which shows her Majesty not mere- ly smiling. but broadly laughing. How did it happen that such a like- ness was obtained? In this way: The Queen was visiting Newport. The Mayor of the city was presenting in :1 verbose and fulsome speech a mag- aifi cent bouquet. He had carefully com- mitted the speech to memory. but in his anxiety to make a favorable im- )l'ESSlOll with his courtly manners, his pomp and splendor of royal velvet and Eur-trimmed robe, medals, cocked hat. and cable chains of gold, he “lost his . place.” After some stammering and stutter- ing he suddenly shouted, “I’ve forgot- ten the rest,” and stood gazing at the Queen like a stupid schoolboy on visit- ors’ day. Then her Majesty laughed )utright, and the flustered and heart- broken Mayor dropped the bouquet snd fled. While the Queen was laugh- ing, Knight, the photographer, took the picture—New York Herald. the Secret of Bringing Up a Large Family. Never has the advantage of provid- ing a duty, an object in life. if you will, for each and every child of a family been better described than by 1 certain grandmother the other day. The grandmother was One who had had a large family of children of her own. Her circumstances had been but moderate, but she had. neverthe- less, succeeded in “raising" them with 111 due honor. A more creditable set of youngsters was not to be found any- where, so said all the relatives. friends and neighbors. At last, the whole fam- ;ly were safely “raised.” and one by one securely established in professions or homes of their own. But just as the mother could begin to feel that some ‘eisure and independence lay her, and that she could, at last, in- dulge in some little. pleasure on her own account, the eldest daughter died. leaving a big family of little children. Well, there was no one but the grand- mother to look after them, and as cv- eryone said. never was there any one better fitted to do it, although it did seem hard after all those years of self- lenial spent in disciplining her own )t'fspring. One day some one said something of this sort to the grand— mother. “How do I manage it all?" was the answer. “Well, my dear, to iell the. truth, it isn’t So difficult a :hing as you might suppose.

The late ex-Senator Coke, of Texas. though as a rule a taciturn and reserved man. had a sense of humor and was something of a diplomat. Shortly af- ter his appearance in the Senate here, years ago, he was approached by. a newspaper correspondent for an inter. view on a leading. question of that day. The request had come from the home office, as the correspondent explained. “Sit down, my. young friend,” said Mr. Coke, “and tell me, the first thing, if I can trust you.” The correspondent said pleasantly that be regarded himself as a .r:fe risk. “Why I ask that.” continued the Senator, with a smile, “is because I have a confession to make. I don’t know much of anything about the question you mention, but I can’t af- ford to admit that to your newspaper. I take this request for my views as a compliment. I’m a new man on the scene. and an interview in as promi- nent a paper as yours will help to in- troduce me. I ought to have some views. What do you know about the question?” The correspondent replied that he had read the bills recently introduced bearing on the subject, had listened to speeches in advocacy of them. and so forth. The Senator’s face lighted up. “My young friend. do you want this inter- view right away?" “No, sir. it goes by mail. row will do.” “Then you go and get copies of some of those bills and of a :cw of those speeches, and bring them here and we’ll have a conversation.” The correspondent agreed to this, and left the Senator. It was an amusing experience. but an agreeable one. be- cause of the frankness of :hc Senator and his thl-l’dlflllty. The correspondent returned. in an hour with. a bundle of papa; and. he and the Senator went over [29:63: gcther. The. Senator would put in a word, and then the correspmzdent would put in a word. Finally. the Senator sahl: “Now you go home and write :ut the interview and bring the copy her-:3." This also the correspondent did and upon his return his greeting was a cor- dial one. nonator Ooke read tilt: story twice over. repeating portions of it aloud. and then handing it back, sa’d: "My young friend, we work in dou- ble ha: ess together admirably.
