The peculiarity is thisthe left hand i6 always seen thru! into the side pocket of his coat. Tb reason for this is that the memb< is useless and has been so all his lif< the affliction having had its origi at his birth through the blunder ( the attending physician. As the circumstances attending tb unfortunate happening may not t known generally, it may be interes ing to reproduce the account give of it by a correspondent of the Ne York Sun, writing from Berlin twei ty-five years ago. The clipping is i my possession and was cut from tb paper at the time of publication. Th following is his version of the affaii "In Paris two days ago I talke about Emperor William with a frien of mine, whose fame as a medics man is world-wide, and obtained fc your readers most interesting an A irifArmofinn QO t rv thD VAlin UOIi U1LC lUlVHUUWVU VV/ v**v ~ ruler's physical condition. The ii formation may be relied upon as exa< beyond any question. " 'Young William was unlucky i the first place,' said my friend, 'i having a princess for a mother, an equally so in having been born prince. These two circumstances at count for his unhappy deformit: The usually accepted accounts of i! nature are imaginative rubbish. " 'The Crown Prince Frederick was traveling, as is generally knowi in an "out-of-the-way place at a ver indiscreet period. The birth of th present German emperor was une) pected, and he was helped into th world by some obscure little doctc with an awe for royalty far in e? cess of his knowledge of surgery. " 'If he had been allowed to thin that his patient was simply an ord nary woman, of strong physique, a would probably have been well; bu the fact was carefully impressed ui on him that he had on his hands th life of a future queen, and that th child would probably be heir to th Prussian throne. This so demoralij ed the little doctor that he added th strength of his own muscles to th forces of nature, and so severed th muscles of the infant's left arm. " 'When I was called to Windsor b Queen Victoria to attend the littl boy 1 saw at once that his case wa hopeless.

As a prince, however, he had to be seen by every great doctor, no 5t system was followed out, and the worst possible result of the accident n ensued, namely, complete atrophy of _| the arm. Mechanism Moves Ann. ie " 'It is wasted completely away. ;r and is probably smaller than when I e, examined him as a boy at Windsor, n Fortunately, 6uch wonderful skill has )f been shown by the German surgeons as to save him from the mortificaie tion of having it plainly seen that ie one of his arms is simply the withert ed arm of a child. The withered arm n i3 padded out in a most life-like fashw ion, and not only that, but within the l- padding is a most wonderfully clever n machine?a series of strings and ie cords acting like the muscles of the ie arm. : " 'These artificial muscles are cond nected with the good muscles of the d shoulder most adroitly, so that while il in a natural condition he would be >r incapable of moving his withered d arm, this most ingenious mechanism g enables him to impart to it movel ments that are almost life-like. He Mn raise or lower his artificial hand and use it sufficiently well to guide n carefully trained and broken chargn ers which are selected for him.' " d Despite the serious handicap, the a boy and the man developed that men> tal and moral force which makes the 7. present emperor of Germany the :s greatest character of the time. His wonderful force of character and a high moral and ethical ideals have i, been imparted to his people, who are y now laboring to maintain their coune try's prestige against what appears c- to be great numerical odds, e During his long and peaceful reign >r the emperor's energies have been dic rected toward the betterment of the condition of his people. He is a dek voted Christian, being an earnest 1- Bible student. Upon every suitable 11 occasion he emphasizes his desire for it temperance, frugality, and morality >-j among his countrymen, and his e; teachings and appeals have borne and e are bearing fruit. Statistics show e that less spirituous liquors are cons' sumed per capita in Germany than in e any other country.
