WILHELM'S NEW DECORATION.
A diplomat was discussing the Crown Prince of Germany. "He gives his poor father a lot' of trouble," the diplomat said, -with a'-ffown. Reich' stag incident, where he showed open disapproval 6£ tho Kaiser's peace policy, is only one of many' similar incidents that the public hears nothing about. A friend of mine, one winter night, was skating with the Crown Prince at St. Maritz, in . the Swibb Ehgadine. The sky ' glanced and glittered splendidly with _ its host of stars, and my friend, pointing to a star of marvellous brilliance, said, ' ' I worider what star that is?' 'Doubtless,' 1 ' said the Crown Prince, with •' a sneering laugh, 'it is some new decoration my father has seen fit to honour the Ruler of the heavens.' "
