A Coarhoiaa Told lllm He Would Maver

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.

A BICYCLE THIEF.
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. Luke Sharp iu Detroit Free

The Alaska Boundary.
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.
