The first bill I rendered him, as I
have mentioned, he doubled. On a
number of aubaennent o/voalnnu
abnclc.
"That's good I" he commented. "The
Germans are too fut, anyway. The majority
of the people eat too much."
Long after automohlllng became
more or less general, the kaiser still
employed a horse and carriage for
ordinary travel, relying upon his free
use of the railways for longer distances.
When, however, the relchstag
passed a law compelling royalty to pay
for their railroad travel, the kaiser
took to automobiles. They charged
him 11,000 nairks, he told me, for the
Use of a train on one of his shooting
trips, and that apparently wus more
9* than he could stand.
^ "Autos are expensive," he declared,
"but they don't cost me that much!"
The kaiser speaks English with but
the slightest trace of a foreign accent.
^ His diction is perfect. He speaks
Frenoli, too, very fluently, and, I believe,
Italian. Ho is widely read on
almost all subjects and knows the literature
of England, France and America
as well as that of Germany. Mark
Twain was one of his favorite American
nuthors and Longfellow his choice
of Anirtlrtin poets.
He prides himself on his acquaintance
with history and has little respect
for the political opinions of others
whose knowledge of history Is less
complete.
Shortly after Carnegie hnd donated
five million marks to Germany to further
world-peace* I Impugned to bo
uniting 10 me Kaiser or American mil- '
lloualros and the ateelmnster wait,
mentioned.
"Of c<iurse, CilWegle is n nice old i
man and menus well," remarked the
kaiser, condescendingly, "but he Is totally
ignorant of world history. He's
J? just advanced us five million for
& . world-peace. We accepted it naturally,
.t> but, of course, we Intend to continue
our policy of maintaining our army and ,
navy in fuli strength."
? Indeed, there is liurdly any subject
" y vJto which the kaiser has devoted uny
VL ^considerable attention In which he
doesn't regard hluiself as the flnul au Sk
thorlty.

These overpayments never amounted
to very much, hut they Impressed mo
because they were so out of keeping
/ with the stinginess the kaiser displayed
In other directions.
From time to time the kaiser sent
, or brought tne autographed pictures of
himself or others. At the time of the
one hundredth anniversary of Frederick
the (Jrent, he gave me a picture
of that monarch. On another occasion,
he presented nie with a group picture
L . of h!ms< .f sui rounded hy Ills 'family
y and dogs. I r member his bringing to
v mo i ' "** i*ned picture In celebration
of his silver wedding. It was
about twenty-four hy eighteen Inches
In size. It showed the kalserln and
himself In a sort of clodd floating ahove
a blrdseye view of Berlin, with the
' palace and the cathedral dimly seen
below.
IT "I don't know Jnst what this master^
piece was meant to signify, but I had It
framed and placed It In my office. It
evoked Trom a little boy who entered
the room with his mother the following
astonished remark : "Oh, mother,
look at the kaiser In heaven
A post-card picture of the kaiser,
signed by his own hand, was In his
own estimation one of the most prlce*6
less gifts he could bestow. I remember
his donating one of them to an
American charity bazaar in Berlin to
be auctioned ofT. lie thought that the
fact that th? card came from his Inn
perial majesty gave It a value which
could not be measured In dollars ami
cents. A piece of Jewelry or a sum
of money might have been duplicated
or even excelled by a gift of similar
character from any American millionaire?for
whose wealth the kaiser frequently
expressed the utmost contempt
?but wnat could surpass the value of
an autograph of the kaiser t
No loubt the royal banquets were
prepared much upon the same principle,
for it was a common saying
among the German arlstocrucy that one
had better feel well before going ^o a
banquet at the palace.
I happened to meutlon to the kaiser
the reputation his banquets held among
bis people. lie was not at all taken
