An amusing little itory about the proa eut emperor of Germany, William II, and a Vienna cuuchniuu wti narrated at a banquet lately given at Vfeuua by some diplomatic, the narrator being biiuself a well known and promiueut member of the corps diplomatic In the year 1 887 the preaeut Emperor William II of Germany, then Prince Willium of Pruasia, came to Vienna, visiting bin particular friend aud chum, the late Crown Prince Rudolf of Aus tria. Jeiued by the Prince of Wale, wbo was at that time also a frequent viaitor to tbe Vienna court, tbe throe prince took a fancy to mingle with tbe coiumon of the Vienna population. Drexaed in ordinary clothe, they viaited place which are not in the least regard ed a suitable for princely guest. Oue day they entered a hotel, but in stead of going into tbe dining room tbey walked iuto tbe "aebwemme," a place which am were in antue degree to tbe barroom of an American hotel; in this room coachmen and the servants of tbe hotel gueat take tbeir meal. Tbe three princea took seat at an empty table, and listened, highly amused, to a fierce debate about politic between aeveral (tout member of that claaa of fashionable Vienna coachmen who are known all over Europe aa "ftex'he Wiener flaker. " Tbe distinc tion of those charioteer i a kind of good natnred boldness and droll famil iarity toward their customer aa well ai to perfect strangers. After listening awbile Prince William put iu a word, and soon waa drawn iuto the excited discumion. Suddenly a stout, red faoed coachman walked up to the table where tbe three princea were seat ed, and, tapping Prince William gently on the shoulder, said, "Now, if yon should ever have anything to say in politics, yon wouldn't set a river on fire, I'm sure!" As every publio coachman in Vienna wear a number, this coachman waa upon a special request of Prinoe William easily identified. The prince sent him a handsome scarf pin with his initials as thanks for the amusement be bad fur nished, and thus tbe man learned in amazement wboae political abilities they were that be bad ao belittled.

During tbe plague of 1003 Francis Bering, "Doctor in Physicke and Fel low of the Colledge of Pbysitians in London published certain Rules and Directions for tbe prevention of the spreading of that contagions aud all de vouring Sicknoas. " Tbeae he reprinted, "somewhat inlarged," in the next plague seaaon of 1625, "to tbe view and vse, and I hope good of my Cittizeus and Countrimen. " Among bis rule are: "Concourse of people to Stage playes, wake or feasts and May pole dauncinga are to be prohibited by publique Author ity, whereby, a Ood is dishonored, the bodies of men and women by surfot ting, drunkeunes and other riots and exoesses dispoced to infection, and the contagion dangerously scattered both in Citie and Countrie. "Let not the carkassea of horses, dogs, cata, etc., lye rotting and poisoning the aire (a they have done) in More and Finsburie fields, and elsewhere rouud about the Citie. "The burying of infected bodies in churches, churchyards and, namely, in Paulea Churchyard, whore the chiefe Magistrates of tbe Citie and many other Citizens nieete weekly to hear Sermons, must needs be not onely iuconuenieut, but verie dangerous for spreading the contagion, and poison Lng tbe whole Citie." Some folk ate breakfast then, others did not: "For breakfast yon may vse a good draught of wormewood beere or ale, and a few morsel of bread and butter, with the leanes of sage, or else a toste with sweet salade oyle, two or three drops of rose vinegar and a little sugar. Tbey that haue cold stomackes may drinke a draught of wormewood wine or malmsey, instead of ale or beere.

A certuiu now agency bad telegraphed abroad the report that I am in Switzer land, not for the benefit of my health, but for the purpose of stoaliug bicycles, and they added I hut I waa au expert thief, aud, for a time at least, I bad succeeded iu buflliug the most praise worthy attempt of the police of two towus to capture nie. While this statement Is naturally flat tering to me it is nevertheleoa a libel, aud, in fact, if 1 cared to use strong laugunge I might go so fur as to take the hint sylhible away from the word "libel." Tbe whole trouble arose through Switzerland not having a proper lan guage of it own, tliat hilly country pre ferring to express what few thoughts it has in a mixture of French, German aud Italian, depending on what particular canton you happen to be in. They say that the Swiaa are natural linguist. Unfortunately they are. Any combina tion of sound you may make mean something to any Swisa to whom you happen to be talking, for be knows so many language that yon are sure to hit one of them, aud so ynn convey idea to him that you had no thought of express ing. October weather i lovely in Switzer land. Moat of the visitor have then gone, prices come down one-half, and the air i sweet and cool, with usually a cloudlee sky. Under these circumstance I thought it would be a nice thing, a tbe road were good and the scenery picturesque, to take a bicycle tour right around Lake Tbnn, beginning at the town which give the lake It name, going around tbe north side of the lake to Iuterlaken and returning by the south shore. The hotel keeper told me that if I went up tbe street, turned to the right, went under an arcade until I came to a tunnel, penetrated that and emerged on another street, turned to the loft aud kept on I would come to the shop ot a man wbo would let me have a bicycle on hire by the day or the hour. I fol lowed the direction a closely as possi ble and thought I recognized tbe shop because a bicycle was leauing against tbe wall. The owuer was leaning against the doorway, looking at the bi cycle outside. The following conversa tion in many languages took place be tween us: "Haben sie un bicyclette a loner?" I opened on him with the above impartial mixture of German aud French. It seems he understood me to ask if that was bis bicyclo, whereupon he replied in four languages : "Yaw, yaw, out, yes. so." Then, throwing in a bit of Italian, I led off with: "Quanta costa la machine a la boor, oder per tag?" Now, I submit that to any educated person, or even to a university man, this sentence said aa plainly as print, "How much do yon want for '.his ma chine by tbe hour or the day?" I tried afterward to got the magistrate to see this, but be, not knowing Italian, shied at the very beginning of the phrase. Tha mnwr nf the bicvcla on oath de clares that be thought I asked bow much the bicycle had cost him. lie says that be answered be paid 600 francs for that brute of a machine, made in France, while I understood him to agree to let me have it for 6 francs a day, which was cheap. I waa in a hurry to be off and was afraid be might repent hi offer, so I said it was all right, and I would taka it. wherounou. without further parley, I wheeled the bicycle Into the middle or tne road, sprang on its back and was off, leaving the aston ished man standing by bis door, too thunderstruck, it seems, to make any outcry until I had passed beyond bis light st the first turning of the road. I pedaled serenely on, little realising what a commotion I bad left behind me, and the one funny thing about this most regrettable episode is that I spent an nipnedinirlv oniet. Deaceful and en- lovable duv. not knowing I waa pursued, making no attempt to elude anybody and yet eluding tnem in wnai appeared afterward to be by subtle and crafty dodges. The magistrate could not be persuaded tbat my sitting on the ve randa of a restaurant in tbe main street of Iuterlaken, with the bicycle in plain view of everybody, was not the brazen act of a hardened criminal, who knew the police would be searching for him in the back streets. When the man standing against the doorway bad recovered partly from his amazement at my sudden flight on his machine, be rushed to the police station and told tbe authorities there a plausi ble foreigner had engaged him in polite Ollendorfian conversation, and, while his mind was distracted in trying to fol low his remarks, bad seized the oppor tunity and also the machine and was at that moment making his way to the north road toward lnterluken. Now, capture under these circum stances seemed to be delioiously easy. There were no branching off roads. The mountains were on oue side and the lake on the other, on neither side of which wss bicycling practicable. Therefore all the two policemen had to do. when they mounted their machines, was to rido farter than I did, and so overtake me. As I hsd no idea that a race was on. I plunged along in a leisurely manner and would undoubtedly have been taken near Iuterlaken if it had not been for the fact that some year ago a company built a funicular railway from the mar gin of the lake a mile or so op to St. Beatenburg. I had lived in St Beaton burg once, and I remembered that the road from there to lnterluken was a good one, so I thought that perhaps it -nnid not be a bad plan to go up on tbe ! railway and coast down to Interlaken. I I knew a msn who bad done it once. I can well believe now that no one ever I tries it the second time. The car goes ' up to St. Beaten bur three or four times a day only, but when a couple of miles away from the binding I saw a steamer coining in, nini I knew if I reached the luiidiug uUiut the time aha did I would get a cur. I am tint a racer, but I thereupon put in my lieat lick to muke cotinectiou with the mountain tailway. The road at this point is as level as the luke itaelf and only a few fivt above it My thought turned to the ruilway because 1 kuew that beyond the lower end of it the carriuge mad roue high above the luke, pawed through several tunnel and theu went dowu to the lnterluken plain. By taking the up car I would avoid all this aud have it dowu bill all tbe way. The policemen, it swims, caught sight of me I was making my spurt, aud they at once put on extra steam, but there i a doep buy jnat before oue rcache the funicular, and they lost light of me a I turned tbe point I had reached thi top of the railway fnnicu- i lar, and I bicycled the mile or more I along the street, high up above tbe luke, ou one vide of which Is scattered the I village of St Beateiiburg, with it wou I derful view of the snow mountains tbe ! Juugfrau, the Eiger, tbe Mooch and a i bout of other. I fonud the ride down the zigzag road not inch fun aa I hud exiiectod. I saw the brake was not going to last if I kept on, so I had to walk most of the way down. Coming to a more level gtouud, 1 cycled gently Into Interlaken, making for the place where tbey sell Munich beer, and there, over a mug and a saudwich on the main street, I made my frugal lunch, with the bicycle standing against a pillar of tbe veranda. After a smoke I proceeded out of In terlaken and took the south road that borders the laka This road is not so good for cycling as the other, being much more hilly, while the roadbed is more stony. I therefore walked a good deal, taking it very leisurely, and in course of time I was overtaken by a po liceman, wbo also waa walking bis ma chine. Us aaked me if I had met a man on a bicycle coining from Tbnn, and I told him quite truly that I had not He seemed discouraged and told me all about the bicycle theft aud the arrest of the wrong man. He feared the thief had hidden in the forest until be and his comrade went past and thou perhaps took the steamer across the lake, or tbe villain might merely have pretended to take the north road, while in reality he went by tbe south. Thus the policeman hoped to meet him yet I promised to keep a lookout, and the officer went on. When I reached Than and came to the place where I got the bicycle, I found the man was iu Iuterlaken, and his wife, who knew all about the rob bery, was amazed to see tbe thief re turn the machine and pluce 6 franca and bi thank ou the counter. I regret to sny thut the apparent hon esty of thi actiou did not commend it self to tbe authorities. They looked on it aa the ruse of a crafty scoundrel, wbo realized that, so vigilant were the po lice, it waa impossible for him to es cape, and so endeavored to throw dust in tbe eyes of tbe wise men of the place. I therefore had to pay the expenses of the chase and apologize to everybody concerned. Thus the bicycle, at 6 francs a day, was not so cheap as I bod at first sup posed.

Alaska was not much thought of at the time of its purchase, and there is a tradition that the money we paid for it really reimbursed Russia for other good office of hers in our behalf. But now it is seen to have been worth far more than it cost. It is likely that we do not know as yet anything like the full meas ure of it possibilities. It is worth re taining to the extremeat boundary. Brit ain knows something of iu value, as she kuew that of tbe Columbia river years sga We should know enough about boundary problems by this time to defend our own without shrinking or carelessness. It is not probable that the Alaska case ever will come to arbitration. It will be settled, like tbe Maiiie and Oregon boundary disputes, by negotiation and a treaty, and the United States will lose no territory. Portland Oregmiian. A Story of Maatom. ti..
