Germany Oel lIany like you do when you visit loyalty r in m Turkey and Egypt E for a good frock coat and a silk hat will wUl take you ou anywhere in ht the daytime da time and a is JA legal tender t at night I so xo 0 dad put lut on his hlll frock coat and silk sUk i hat fiat just ju t as IV he be would Mould to go and attend an afternoon wedding at home and we were ushered into a regular parlor where the emperor was Wag having fun run with his children and the empress was do doing lag ing some mine needle work Dad supposed suppo ed we e would have nav to talk to the emperor and the prince through an nn interpreter r and we stood there ther wait waiting waiting waiting ing for lor someone break the Ice when hen someone told the emperor that an American gentleman and his boy want wanted wanted wanted ed to pay pa their respects and the em emperor emperor emperor who wore an au ordinary dark suit with no military frills took t ok one of the young xoung princes he had been playing with across acro his knee and gave him a couple of easy spanks in fun and the whole family was we laughing and the spanked boy tackled the emperor around the legs below the kne khee like a football player and the other princes pulled l him off oft and the emperor came up to dad smiling as though he was having the time of his life and spoke oke oketo to dad da in the purest pure t English h and an l said seid he w was s glad to see se the t c Bad Boy man maw because he had bad read all about the of the bad boy and bid dad welcome to t Germany and he look Jook sick lek ft tt t all Dad D d was WAB taken all aU of and know what to make of or the Ger German German man emperor talking English but when th the ruler ot of Germany turned tuned to tome tome tome me ant an said 81 1 eMid And so 80 this is the cham chant champion champion I pion little devil de n of America and 1 pat patted patted patted ted me on the head hend dad felt that he had struck truck a friend of or the family and he sat down with the emperor em eror and talked for tor half an hour while the young 1 princes gathered around me and we sat down on the th floor and the boys bo got out their knives and we played peg pe on the carpet just as though we were at home and all the boys bos talked English and ami we had ad a bully time The princes wad nd all read Pecks Peeks sad Fad Boy and I think the th emperor and empress have hae encouraged them in their mrk Hi ness for or the boys told me of several tricks they had played on all their father the emperor which they the had copied from the Bad Boy Bo and It made me blush when they told of Initiating their father fathel into the Masons the way wa my chum and I initiated dad into the Ma Masons Masons sons with the aid of a goat I asked the boys boy bO how their dad took it and told them from what we in America heard about the emperor of ot Germany w we e would think he would kill anybody that played a trick on him but the they said he would stand anything from the children and enjoy it but If grown men attempted to monkey with him the fur would fly The crown prince came in and amid was introduced to tome tome tome me and he seemed proud to see me cause his uncle Prince Henry had told him about being In Milwaukee Mil Waukee and how howall howan howall all an the in that town were the handsomest he had ever seen in his trip around the world and he asked me If It was so I referred him to dad and dad told him the women were the great greatest greatest greatest est in the world and then dad made his usual break He said Look Mister Prince you have got to be mar marrIed rIed a a tr a fn n hand d the German G a empire down d w to and a my advice to you Is not to let Jet them saw off on to you no Bu hess or princess as homely as a hedge fence with no ginger in i n her blood but you skip out to Amer America ica and come to Milwaukee and I will introduce you to girls that are so h hand handsome hl nd some they the will make you toe the mark and if you marry one of them she will raise a family of healthy young royalty with no humor in the blood and you ou Wont ont have to go off and be gay away aay y from home cause an American wife will take you ou by the ear if you show any signs of wandering from your own fireside 1 like lots of your relatives have hav e done Gee but that made the time emperor hot arid amid he said dad any an o of f his American ideas into the German Germa n nobility as he could run things all an allright allright right without any help and dad ad got go t ready to to go cause the atmosphere was wa s i getting sort of chilly chill but the emperor empero r I soon got over oyer his huff and told dad not no rd rt t I to hurry hurr and then he turned to me and an d said Now little American bad boy what kind of a trick are you yo going to t o play pla on me cause from what I have read of you I know kno you will never g go 0 Out of this house without giving me a benefit b and all my boys expect it and an anI d I I I d This is the Champion Little Devil Devils s will enjoy enJo enjoy it the same as I will ivill m v lt li er go goI I felt that it was ip alp t p to me to d do o something to maintain the reputation oI I had made so 50 I said taid Your majesty I will now proceed to make it interesting g for you if you OU and the boys w will ill kindl kindly v be seated in a circle around me They The Y got into a circle all an laughing and wind YI I took out of my pistol pocket a half pits t flask of glass covered With ith leather and an d with a stopper that opened by b touching g a spring and I walked around In front fron gt t of each one of the royal loyal family mum bling Ming Ent and an a opening the flask in front of ot each one and pretty prett soon they the all an began to set get e t nervous l and scratch themselves and an d the emperor slapped his leg le and pinched d Jt his arm and put his fingers lingers down his collar and scratched his neck nek and the crown prince jumped up and kicked his leg and scratched fils Ills back and said Sa Say kid you are not hypnotizing us are you ou and I said Ene mene mony my and kept on touching the stopper By and by b they all got to scratching and the emperor turned sort of pale but he wa was going to see the show through to the end as long as he had hada a ticket and he said What is the joke anyway and I kept ket on sayIng saving Ene and walking around In III front of them and dad began to dance around too and dig under shirt bosom and scratch his leg and they th y all scratched in unison and laughed and a little prince asked how howlong howlong long before they would know v what hat It was Lall jail about and I said my and looked solemn and dad said What you JOU giving us and I said Never Nev r you jOU mind this is my Iny show and I am the whole push and everybody had Ired raised up out of his chair and each was as scratching for all that was out and finally the emperor sold said I like a joke joker jokey a t j r I Tm ta wit ns t Dad Leaned Against a Lamp Post and Scratched as well as anybody but b t I cant laugh until I know kno what I am laughing about and he told dad to make me show what was in the bottle and ami I I showed the bottle and there was noth nothing nothIng nothing ing in It and there they stood scratch ing lug themselves and I told dad we better bet better better ter excuse ourselves and go w wo we e were ere going all aU right enough when dad I said What is it you TOU are doing andas and andas andas as we got Kot almost to the door I said Your majesty I have distributed im impartially impartially I partially I trust In the royal family of Germany a half haIr a pint Dint of the hun hungriest hungriest griest fleas that thet the t Egypt can produce for they the have been in that flask three thre I w weeks weeks with nothing to eat except them themselves themselves themselves selves and I 1 estimate te that there were a million Cairo fleas in inthe the flock fiock enough j tb to set up housekeeping In your Tour palace with enough to stock the palace Dalace of your our crown prince when he is married arrIe and this is that you may remember the visit of Pecks Bad Boy and his dad The emperor was mad at first but he laughed and when we got out of the palace dad leaned against a lamp post and scratched his back and said to me Hennery you ou never ought to have did 1 it and I said What hat luit could a poor boy bo r do when called upon suddenly to do j something to entertain royalty I Well Vell says sas dad I L dont care for myself but this thing is apt pt to bring on 1 international complications and I Isaid said Yes Tee it will bring Persia into it I cause they the will have haye to use Persian i insect inject T powder to get rid of them and then we
