Through Thick and Thin.
If monurchs havo often permitted
themselves tbo indulgence of making
pans the fact tins not been recorded In
tuo pages of history. Une pun, how
ever, la assigned to King Frederick
William IV. of Prussia. It is said that
on the occasion of a court ball he was
standing near the middle of tho dance
hall In conversation with an exceed-,
ingly thin ambassador. In the basta
and excitement of a fiery galop a lieu
tenant of the hussars danced with bis
partner between the monarch and tho
person whom he was addressing, and
then, seeing what he had done, he be
gan to stammer abject apologies and
explanations.
"Oh. that was nothing." replied the
king, with a hearty laugh. "A hussar
must go without fear through thick
and thin."
A whimsical glance from his own
portly Ilgure to that of the slender am
bassador accompanied this answer, and
the hussar felt himself not only par
doned, but Invited to share in the
king's laugh.
