THE KAISER BORN A CRIPPL Owes Withered Arm to Doctor's At of Royal Mother?A11 Pictures Hide Defect. (From the Washington Post) Editor Post: Readers of current li erature must observe a peculiarity the pose of the pictures represenii the German Emperor. The peculiars . is this?the left hand is always se< thrust into the side pocket of his co; The reason for this is that the men ber is useless and has been so all h life, the affliction having had its or gin at his birth through the blundi of the attending physician. As the circumstances attending tl unfortunate happening may not 1 known generally, it may be interes ing to reproduce the account given < it by a correspondent of the Ne York Sun, writing from Berli twenty-five years ago. The clippin is in my possession, and was cut froi the paper at the time of publicatioi The following is his version of tf affair: "In Paris two days ago I talke about Emperor William with a frien of mine, whose fame as a medicj man is world-wide, and obtained fc your readers most interesting an definite information as to the youn ruler's physicial condition.

" '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 ac count for his unhappy deformity. Th usually accepted accounts of its na ture are imaginative rubbish. Awe of Royalty Handicap " 'The Crown Princess Frederick was traveling, as is generally know in an out of the way place at a ver indiscreet period. The birth of th present German Emperor was unex pected, and he was helped into th world by some obscure little docto with an awe for royalty far in exces of his knowledge of surgery. " 'If he had been allowed to thin that his patient was simply an ordi nary woman, of strong physique, al would probably have been well; bu the fact was carefully impressed upo him that he had on his hands the lif of a future Queen, and that the chil would probably be heir to the Prus sian throne. This so demoralized th 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 li'ttl boy I saw at once that his case wa hopeless. If he had been a grocer' son some good doctor would hav called in, and some sound method o cure adopted and followed. As Prince, however, he had to be seen b every great doctor, no system wa followed out, and the worst possibl result of the accident ensued, namelj complete atrophy of the arm. Mechanism Moves' Arm. "'It is wasted completely awaj and is probably smaller than whe I examined him as a boy at Windsoi Fortunately, such wonderful skill ha been shown by the German "surgeon as to save him from the rhortificatio of having it plainly seen that one c his arms is simply the withered ari of a child. The withered arm i padded out in a most life-like fashiot and not only that, but within th padding is a most wonderfully cleve machine?a series of strings an cords acting like the muscles of th arm. " 'These artificial muscles are cor nected with the good muscles of th shoulder most adroitly, so that whil in a natural condition he would h incapable of moving his withered an this most ingenious mechanism er ables him to impart to it movement that are almost life-like. He ca raise or lower his artificial hand an use it sufficiently well to guide can fully trained and broken chargei which are selected for him. Despite the serious handicap, th bov and the man developed that mer tal and moral force which makes tfi present Emperor of Germany th greatest character of the time. Hi wonderful force of character and hi'g moral ethical ideals have been impai ted to his people, who are now laboi ing to maintain their country's pre: tige against what appears to be grei numerical odds. Aided by Good Wife During his. long and peaceful reig the Emperor's energies have been d rected toward the betterment of tl condition of his people. He is a d< voted Christian, being an earnei 'Bible student. Upon every suitab occasion he emphasizes his desire f< temnnrance, frugality, and moralit amonc bis countrymen, and his teacl ings and appeals have borne and ai hearing fruit. Statistics show thi less spirituous liquors are consume per capita in Germany than in ar other country.

Husband n Came to Rescue. d * Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter e from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock i- writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little a while, and could not walk anywhere at n all. At times, I would have severe pains y in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treat e iushi icucvcu me ior a wnue, out I was r soon confined to my bed again.

J. G. Going, M. D. M LOCKHART JUNCTbN Lockhart Junction, Feb. 1G.|-The past week was fair and boautifd and it looked like spring; the roadslwere getting in fine shape and we lould drive around with some easj and pleasure, but it is raining agal today, but I am in hopes it will quit soon. The land_was getting it fine shape for ploughing and somi had begun to sow oats. Some have lheat to sow yet and others have piloted last week. A fellow asked mejvhat I thought of sowing wheat, ntolu ' him I sure would sow; he salt he ! U- J xt. - ?t- - ? ' *' iiuu me wneat ana tne land waslpre' pared. Well, it is the idea to sew half a crop and that will be b?tt?r than none. I advise every one u keep sowing. I have oats to s<w and I am going to sow them, if it is the last of March, for I have tit seed and will risk the season. I am not going to use much fertilizer this year, in fact, I may nit use any at all, unless it gets cheapc. We farmers may use some formuli or make a compost mixture of some kind. I heard a fellow say he was going to use his cotton seed for fei| tilizer. Some might say that it is too high, but if you sell them an! buy meal you are only selling and buying again. Anything a fellov I has at home and don't have to buy is O. K. That is economy. I have used the raw cotton seed and it paid It is the thing if you have the cotton seed to spare to try it. I expect to use some that way again. Well, we all must have some problem or something to discuss all the time, but we sure have to economize thes" days. "Experience is a dear school but fools will learn in no other." I was in Union last Saturday anil attended the Teachers' Meeting and then I went to the "Fertilizer and Economy" meeting. I thought there was going to be a large crowd, but only two or three dozen people were present. The streets were crowded with farmers but they did not com; to the mHating. I don't wont tf) criticize the people, but was not that the place for the farmers? I have never joined the Farmers' Union, but I was interested in the movement and one good man, a friend of mine, said he wanted me to join, I told him it was no use for me to join for I was already one. I was acting a good member outside of the organization, but I think the most of them have sold their cotton and I have mine yet. Some people blame E. D. Smith for the price of cotton, but I believe Mr. Smith did all in his power, but the farmers are the ones and the only ones to blame?plant less cotton, more bread stuff, use less fertilizer or none at all, and I believe if we do, our efforts will be blessed and our work will not be in vain. I was traveling in Cherokee county last week and spent a night with Mrs. John H. Fowler, where I was treated with kind hospitality, alsc Mr. Bill Fowler and his wife; these folk were reared in the Kelton neighborhood, but moved to Cherokee several years ago. They all feel very Inuch like home folks. I stopped al the home of Mr. J. L. Strain, where I had dinner and was again made tc feel at home and not among strangers. Since I was there last he has lost his good wife, this brings sorrow to his heart and we know how tc sympathize with him. Mr. Strain is better known as "Vox" to the Times readers. He writes occasionally anc everybody enjoys his letters. I was also at Mr. A. S. Goforth's for awhile, Mr. Goforth had just cu his foot. He was cutting some un dergrowth on his place and acei dently cut his foot and it had blec a good deal but he had it tied up anc the bleeding had stopped, but I an sure it will be sore for awhile. 1 air in hopes he is doing all O.
