THE KAISER BORN A CRIPPLE Owes Withered Arm to Doctor's Awe of Royal Mother?AH Pictures Hide Defect. (From the Washington Post) Editor Post: Readers of current literature must observe a peculiarity in the pose of the pictures represening the German Emperor. The peculiarity . is this?the left hand is always seen thrust into the side pocket of his coat The reason for this is that the member is useless and has been so all his life, the affliction having had its origin at his birth through the blunder of the attending physician. As the circumstances attending the unfortunate happening may not be known generally, it may be interesting to reproduce the account given of it by a correspondent of the New VnA e.,? e ? 1IUIII I3UI"Un twenty-five years ago. The clipping is in my possession, and was cut from the paper at the time of publication. ' The following is his version of the . affair: "In Paris two days ago I talked I about Emperor William with a friend of mine, whose fame as a medical man is world-wide, and obtained for your readers most interesting and definite information as to the young ruler's physicial condition. The in j formation may be relied upon as exact beyond any question. " 'Young William was unlucky in the first place,' said my friend, 'in having a Princess for a mother, and equally so in having been born a Prince. These two circumstances account for his unhappy deformity. The ? usually accepted accounts of its na- > ture are imaginative rubbish. 3 Awe of Royalty Handicap t " 'The Crown Princess Fredericka ^ was traveling, as is generally known s in an out of the way place at a very . indiscreet period. The birth of the present German Emperor was unexpected, and he was helped into the 1 world by some obscure little doctor ? with an awe for royalty far in excess t of his knowledge of suro-prv 1 " 'If he had been allowed to think a that his patient was simply an ordinary woman, of strong physique, all f would probably have been well; but the fact was carefully impressed upon * him that he had on his hands the life *1 of a future Queen, and that the child C would probably be heir to the Prus- ti sian throne. This so demoralized the little doctor that he added the ti strength of his own muscles to the C forces of nature, and so severed the t muscles of the infant's left arm. 3 " 'When I was called to Windsor by s Queen Victoria to attend the little * boy I saw at once that his case was E hopeless. If he had been a grocer's son some good doctor would have called in, and some sound method of ; cure adopted and followed. As a I Prince, however, he had to be seen by = every great doctor, no system was followed out, and the worst possible * result of the accident ensued, namely, c complete atrophy of the arm. c: Mechanism Moves Arm. v "'It is wasted completely away, * and is probably smaller than when I examined hi'm as a boy at Windsor. Fortunately, such wonderful skill has been shown by the German surgeons MM nn?fA Vt 1 *v* WAWI fl*A oo fcvr oovc hi 111 iiuiu buc iiiui iuiv.av.iuu of having it plainly seen that one of his arms is simply the withered arm ^ of a child. The withered arm is ^ padded out in a most life-like fashion, j and not only that, but within the ^ padding is a most wonderfully clever f machine?a series of strings and ^ cords acting like the muscles of the i arm. " 'These artificial muscles are con- j nected with the good muscles of the ] shoulder most adroitly, so that while , in a natural condition he would bs j incapable of moving his withered arm , this most ingenious mechanism en- J ables him to impart to it movements ^ that are almost life-like. He can raise or lower his artificial hand and use it sufficiently well to guide carefully trained and broken chargers which are selected for him. I Despite the serious handicap, the bov and the man developed that men- i tal and moral force which makes th?. present Emperor of Germany the greatest character of the time. His wonderful force of character and high moral ethical ideals have been imparted to his people, who are now labor- i ing to maintain their country's prestige against what appears to be great numerical odds. 1 Aided by Good Wife < During his. long and peaceful reign the Emperor's energies have been directed toward the betterment of the condition of his people. He is a devoted Christian, being an earnest ' ' Bible student. Upon every suitable occasion he emphasizes his desire for temmot nnee, frugality, and morality amone h's countrymen, and his teachings and appeals have borne and are hearing fruit. Statistics show that less spirituous liquors are consumed per capita in Germany than in any other country. The Teuton represents the best thoughts of the age in all lines of advanced thought and human activities. Like many other successful men. Emneror William has been aided in his life efforts bv his good wife, who is a woman of noble parts, and whose domestic character and good sense k.* 4k?

She refused i't with a smile, sayinpr fcayly, "What use would it be? With three boys always hanerine to my skirt it would be torn in a jiffy." The narrator of the incident adds that "alas, those boys are now in the perils of war.
